[情報] Pirates Select John Raynor in Rule Five Draft
The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced they have selected outfielder John
Raynor off the Florida Marlins' Triple-A roster (New Orleans) in the Major
League Phase of the Rule Five Draft. The announcement was made by Pirates
Senior Vice President, General Manager Neal Huntington.
In 2009, the 25-year-old Raynor hit .257 (115-for-447) with 24 doubles, two
triples, six home runs, 36 RBI, 63 runs scored and 19 stolen bases during his
first season with New Orleans.
"John Raynor is an athletic outfielder, with some threat at the plate," said
Huntington. "He has the speed and defensive capability to play all three
outfield positions and has the upside to project as a potential everyday
outfielder in the future. He will compete for a bench role in spring
training."
After being selected by the Marlins in the ninth round of the 2006 First-Year
Player Draft, Raynor made his professional debut with Jamestown and was named
to the New York-Penn League All-Star team that season after hitting .286 with
21 stolen bases, which ranked third in the league.
In his first full season of professional baseball in 2007, he was named the
South Atlantic League's Most Valuable Player after hitting .333 with 13 home
runs, 57 RBI and 54 stolen bases with Greensboro. He was also named Florida's
Minor League Player-of-the-Year that season while being named to the South
Atlantic League All-Star team and to Baseball America's Low Class-A All-Star
team.
Raynor paced the Marlins minor league system with 104 runs scored and 48
stolen bases in 2008 while also hitting .312 with the Carolina Mudcats. He
also ranked fourth among Florida farmhands in hits (141), a .402 slugging
percentage and 62 walks while being tabbed by Baseball America as the
"Fastest Baserunner" in the Southern League, where he was named to both the
mid-season and post-season All-Star teams.
Raynor has produced a career average of .299 (461-for-1543) with 89 doubles,
20 triples, 36 home runs, 165 RBI, 313 runs scored and 142 stolen bases in
his four seasons of professional baseball.
