With a good showing after he signed and a fine performance in the Arizona Fall League, has lefthander Mike Minor shed the notion that he wasn't worthy of being drafted seventh overall by the Braves? (問) Phil Jones Burke, Va. No one ever has disputed the fact that Minor can really pitch. He does a nice job of mixing and locating his fastball, curveball, slider and changeup. He has been very impressive in four starts at low Class A Rome (though that's a small sample size) and in four brief outings in the AFL (a smaller sample size, and you shouldn't read too much into AFL stats). 沒有人會懷疑Mike Minor投球的能力。他總是成功的搭配他的速球、曲球、滑球和變速球而且都能控到他想要的位置，在低階1A的4場出賽和在秋季聯盟他的表現都人印象深刻。 Still, Minor doesn't have a true plus pitch beyond his changeup and his fastball usually operates in the upper 80s. His realistic ceiling is as a No. 3 starter, it's easier to project him as a No. 4 and it's not difficult to draw parallels between him and another Vanderbilt finesse lefthander who was a top-10 choice, Jeremy Sowers. 然而除了變速球外，Minor還缺少了一顆優質的球種，他的速球也多半只在接近90mile的速度跑。他俱有成為3號先發的潛力，但把他視為一個未來的4號先發會比較適合。可以把他拿來和另一個選秀會前10名的左投手Jeremy Sowers來作比較。 Was Minor a worthy first-rounder? Yes. Would have I taken him seventh overall? Not a chance. One of the reasons teams complain that the draft doesn't distribute talent equitably is the clubs won't take the best player available. Atlanta wouldn't exceed MLB's bonus recommendation at No. 7, though they mistakenly budgeted for the 2008 figure ($2.42 million) rather than the reduced 2009 number ($2.178 million) because the commissioner's office didn't give them the amount quickly enough. That limited their choices, though former Braves scouting director Roy Clark (now assistant GM with the Nationals) was a big believer in Minor. Clark loved Tyler Matzek, too, but didn't have the budget to sign him. 那Minor值不值得球隊用第1輪選秀權把他選進來呢？值得。但我不會想用第一輪的第7順位去選他。有些球隊抱怨選秀制度不能讓有天份的球員公平被分配在每一隊，因為他們依然沒辦法選擇他們想要的球員。勇士付給Minor的簽約金($2.178million)低於聯盟建議該給選秀會第7名的金額，因為他們的行政部門太晚給他們報價了，雖然這不像他們在2008年時錯誤付的出2.42million的簽約金那樣。預算問題限制了他們的選擇，雖然勇士的前球探 Roy Clark十分看好Minor沒錯。之前Clark也很喜歡Tyler Matzek，但當時他也沒有足夠的預算去把他簽下來。 (這段關於預算那幾句我不太確定是不是這樣翻。) I know the AFL is a hitter's league, but White Sox outfielder Jordan Danks is batting .388/.508/.571 through 14 games. Reality or chimera? (問) Cliff Jordan Chicago I believe this is the first time the word "chimera" has appeared in Ask BA. Well played, Cliff. I often say that people shouldn't read too much into AFL stats, as I just did in the previous answer. The conditions favor hitters, there are few quality pitching prospects and a lot of the players are worn out after the long minor league season. Just glance at the AFL record book, and you'll see that Ken Harvey holds the league records for batting (.479), slugging (.752) and on-base percentage (.537); Brandon Wood owns the mark for homers (14); and Orlando Miller set the standard for RBIs (44). 秋季聯盟的成績不太可信。那是一個偏打者的聯盟，因為沒什麼投手大物會去那裡而且很多球員在小聯盟打了一整季都累攤了。如果你去喵一眼秋季聯盟的紀錄，你會發現打擊率 (.475)、長打率(.752)、上壘率(.537)紀錄保持人是Ken Harvey，創下14發全壘打紀錄的是Brandon Wood，而Orlando Miller曾經打下最高的44分打點。 Danks is what he is. Though he's 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, he never has grown into the power scouts projected he would when he was a potential first-round pick as a high schooler. He hit 13 homers in three seasons at the University of Texas, and he has slugged .425 in pro ball. He's 23 now, and he's not going to have average power. So those AFL power numbers are a chimera. Danks只能作他自己。雖然他有6呎4吋210磅的魁武身材，但他從來沒有長出來像當初球探們認為一個有選秀會第一輪潛力的高中球員應該有的power。他在大學時的3個球季裡也只打出13支全壘打，在職業生捱也只有.425的長打率。他已經23歲了，只會是個有平均水準以下power的球員，在秋季聯盟他所展現出來的長打能力只是個泡影。 That said, Danks can be a solid regular. He has the bat speed and swing to hit for average, and he draws enough walks to post a solid OBP. He runs well enough to steal a few bases and play center field, and he has enough arm to move to right field if he loses a step. 他會是一個穩定的先發球員，有平均水準的揮棒速度和揮擊，可以選到保送而提供穩定的上壘率，他的跑壘能力讓他可以盜一些壘然後防守二、游，如果再差一些他的臂力也足夠他去守右外野的位置。 (有錯誤的部分請各位大大們指證，謝謝^^。) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.48.228 ※ 編輯: soilstone 來自: 122.126.48.228 (11/05 09:26) ※ 編輯: soilstone 來自: 122.126.48.228 (11/05 09:27)
