[BA] AFL Top 20 Prospects Chat
以下是跟我們家有關的問題
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q；How does Matt Harrison not make your list? In facing 60 hitters in the AFL,
he gave up 3 singles and 6 walks while striking out 13 batters. He was
ranked 90th in baseball america's top 100 last year. Was the list just that
good?
Chris Kline:
Another good question, and I'm expecting we'll deal with Andrus shortly. As for
Harrison, a lot of scouts were lukewarm on him. Personally, I think he's
underrated. One scout I talked to called him Jeff Francis. Everything is hard
and down. It doesn't matter how much his velocity fluctuates because he's
constantly at the bottom of the strike zone. He barely missed this list. I
don't know if I'd say the list was that good, but it was solid. And nearly all
the scouts I talked to when putting this list together had the arms on the back
end above Harrison.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q：Why did Matt Harrison or Elvis Andrus not make the cut? I can see Andrus due
to not playing enough games, but if he did how high would he have ranked?
Chris Kline:
Andrus qualified, but again, based on the number of scouts polled for this
list, they had him below the 20. Managers loved him, and he hit in the AFL,
but there are long term questions about the bat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q：Any idea how Elvis Andrus was left off the top 20 at the expense of Junior
Mayberry? This kid is tearing up the AFL at 19 while 23 yo Mayberry
continues to struggle just to make contact.
Chris Kline:
Again, and bringing up Mayberry is good because there are obviously questions
about his bat as well, but he's a polished defender who runs well with the
ability to hit for power. Even though he's 23 and he might not ever hit for
high average, you can't give up yet. I love Andrus' defense and his leadership
skills, everything about him defensively is easy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q：Was Chris Davis in consideration for the top 20 prospects? What about
Elvis Andrus?
Chris Kline:
Davis didn't have enough ABs to qualify. For Andrus, see above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q：can you rank the these AFL SS prospects, Hu, Pennington, and Lowrie? are
either traded this offseason?
Chris Kline:
Andrus above all the others. Lowrie didn't have a great AFL, but was learning
multiple positions and I think if one guy could get dealt of those you
mentioned, it's Hu.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q：WHAT ABOUT ANDRUS! Don't you know the Rangers have the best farm system
ever?
Chris Kline:
Arguably the most improved system with what they were able to do via trades,
the draft and the way they work Latin America every year. I made several trips
up to Surprise while I was in AZ to see their instructs camp. Watching that was
enough to make at least two-thirds of all clubs envious. They're definitely on
the rise.
