From:http://tinyurl.com/3afkgr --------------------------------------------------------------------- 以下僅節錄金鶯隊部分： Baltimore Orioles With the winter winding down, the Orioles have already cast off some key 2007 contributors, including ace pitcher Erik Bedard who technically has not been traded yet, key offensive cog Miguel Tejada and sometime-sparkplug Corey Patterson. Waiting in the wings to replace those players are left-handed starter Troy Patton, shortstop Luis Hernandez and centerfielder Adam Jones, who is rumored to be on the way from Seattle. Troy Patton LHP Born: 9/85 Drafted: 2004 9th round 2007 MLB: 12.2 IP | 3.55 ERA | 7.11 H/9 | 2.84 BB/9 | 5.68 K/9 Patton was obtained from the Houston Astros in the Tejada trade this past winter. He doesn’t project to be an ace like the man he is more or less replacing, but Patton has the ceiling of a No. 3 – possibly a No. 2 – starter. Although Patton faired well in 12.2 innings with Houston in 2007, some of his career numbers suggest that 2008 might be a bumpy time for the young hurler. In each of his last three promotions – from High-A ball to Triple-A – Patton’s strikeouts-per-nine-innings (K/9) ratio has dipped each time from 9.06 to 7.35 to 6.07 to 4.59. Over the span of a 200-inning season, using his Triple-A ratio, Patton would strike out only 111 batters. Add in the fact that he was a flyball pitcher in Triple-A (GB% = 39%) and the majors (GB% = 27%), and he had low BABIPs (Triple-A = .262, MLB = .194) and you have the potential for a combustible rookie season. Patton是在Tejada的交易中從太空人隊得到的左投，他並非王牌的料，但是有三號先發的實力、或者是二號。他在2007年上到大聯盟時擁有不錯的表現，但生涯數據表明他在新的球季將會遭遇困境。從高階1A一路升到3A時，他的K/9數據直直落，加上他又是個飛球投手，他在新球季可能會放火。 Luis Hernandez SS Born: 6/84 Signed: undrafted free agent 2007 MLB: 69 AB | .290/.300/.362 The slick-fielding Hernandez was claimed off waivers by the Orioles from the Atlanta Braves previous to the 2007 season. He certainly won’t resemble Tejada with the bat but he should improve upon Tejada’s dwindling defensive prowess. Unfortunately, Hernandez’ defence is unlikely to make up for his lack of offensive talent. With a career minor league line of .250/.299/.325, the shortstop has a long way to go to be league average. The switch hitter also struggles when batting left-handed, which he will do the majority of the time, and managed only a .218 average in 261 Double-A at-bats in 2007. 生涯的攻守成績都很普通... Adam Jones CF Born: 8/85 Drafted: 2003 1st round 2007 MLB: 65 AB | .246/.300/.400 Allegedly soon to be acquired as the centerpiece in the upcoming Erik Bedard deal, Jones (who is nine at-bats over technically being a rookie, but what the heck he's topical) will take over centerfield for departed free agent Patterson. A right-handed batter, Jones hit both right-handed (0.955 OPS) and left-handed pitchers (1.003 OPS) equally well in 2007 at the Triple-A level. His power is developing and the athletic Jones has taken well to the outfield after being drafted as a shortstop. The biggest weakness in his game, offensively, appears to be his plate discipline as he walked only 7.9 percent of the time, while striking out 25.2 percent of the time. He also had a high BABIP at .370. Jones should be able to duplicate or better Patterson’s 2007 line of .269/.304/.386 but he won’t be as explosive on the base paths. 應該會接手中外野的守備位置，面對左右投手都有不錯的成績。無論在力量和運動能力方面都有良好的表現，唯一的缺點就是他的選球能力。保送偏少而被三振率偏高。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.230.13.168
