剛好John Sickels對Brignac也寫了一篇分析就略翻分享給版友 The Tampa Bay Rays traded shortstop Reid Brignac to the Colorado Rockies today for a player to be named and cash. Brignac has been a significant disappointment as a hitter, batting just .227/.268/.317 in 716 plate appearances over five years with the Rays. He was one of the best position player prospects in baseball a few years ago. Here's what happened. 光芒將Brignac交易到落磯他在TB五年的大聯盟成績留下令人失望的打擊三圍但他曾經是最被期待的野手大物讓我們來看看他發生了什麼事 Brignac was drafted in the second round in 2004, from high school in St. Amant, Louisiana. He was considered a very strong hitter with more power potential than most middle infielders. Many scouts projected that he would outgrow shortstop, but most felt he would hit well enough to handle third base. Brignac hit .378/.427/.486 in his 28-game pro debut split between rookie ball and Low-A, showing the expected power potential and good plate discipline. I rated him as a Grade B prospect entering '05. 2004年第二輪高中選秀認為是一個很有砲瓦的中線野手許多球探認為他未來可能會轉防到三壘去在他第一年的球季在RK-A 28場打出讓人印象的成績將他評為 B 的新秀在要進入05年的球季 Moved up to the Low-A Midwest League for '05, Brignac hit .264/.319/.416 with 15 homers, 40 walks, and 131 strikeouts in 512 at-bats. The power was there, but his plate discipline was worse than expected, and his OPS came out just a hair better than league average. Reviews of his defense were mixed, although after seeing him in person I felt he had at least some chance of staying at shortstop. I cut his rating to a Grade C+ entering '06, worrying about his ability to handle breaking pitches. 05年在Low A(也就是A)的成績仍然維持他的砲瓦期待但是他的選球卻成長得比預期糟糕造成他的OPS只有略高於平均防守普普但還有機會可以站穩SS 但JS擔心他能否面對變化球所以他被降評為C+的新秀 2006 began in the High-A California League, where Brignac hit .326/.382/.557 with 21 homers in 100 games for Visalia, with a 35/82 BB/K ratio. Promoted to Double-A, he continued to hit outside the California League with a .300/.355/.473 mark in 28 games for Montgomery, though his plate discipline took a hit with a 7/31 BB/K in 110 at-bats. Reports on his glove remained mixed, but despite the problems with strike zone judgment, I was convinced that the step forward with the bat was genuine and rated him accordingly, giving him a Grade A- entering '07 and ranking him 13th overall among hitting prospects. 06年在High A(A+)打出驚人的成績升上2A也還是驚人的成績守備仍是普通但打擊的問題在於好球帶的掌控所以他被評為A-等級的新秀在所有的打擊新秀中排到13名 Brignac returned to Montgomery in 2007, hitting .260/.328/.433 with 17 homers, 55 walks, and 94 strikeouts in 527 at-bats. At this stage, scouting reports indicated good power, but also a tendency to pull the ball too much; scouts worried that pitchers at higher levels would find the flaws in his swing. His glovework still drew mixed reviews, as he showed a good throwing arm but not-terrific range. I still believed in him and gave him a Grade B+ entering '08, ranking him at #16 overall. 07年在2A打出較普通的成績仍有砲瓦但是會過度的拉打球探擔心在更高層級的投手會針對他的弱點攻擊守備有良好的臂力與還不算遭高的防守範圍 JS仍然期待他所以給予他B+等級在所有打擊新秀排到16名 He continued his steady rise up the ladder in '08, playing 97 games for Triple-A Durham. The good news was that his defense took a huge step forward: he worked very hard to improve his reliability, range, and positioning, and scouts no longer had doubts about his defense, rating it as above-average to excellent. On the other hand, his bat took a step backward: he hit .250/.299/.412 with nine homers, 25 walks, and 93 strikeouts in 352 at-bats. Reports indicated that he simply lost the strike zone, plus he would lengthen his swing in an attempt to hit for more power. Concerned about his stalling development, I rated him as a Grade C+ for '09. 08年在3A的出賽防守有了巨大的進步球探不再批評他的守備能力被認為可能是平均以上到傑出但打擊的表現不如預期 JS認為他還有機會發展將他給予C+等級 For Durham in '09, he improved his approach somewhat and hit .282/.327/.417 in 96 games, with a 27/69 BB/K in 415 at-bats. He played 31 games for the Rays, hitting .278/.301/.444; he had plate discipline issues with a 3/20 BB/K in 90 at-bats, but the pop was there and his defense was sharp. I moved him back up to a Grade B- for '10, writing that I saw him as a "baselinie .260/.310/.400 hitter, which isn't bad for a shortstop who can field well." 09年在3A打出較前一年略佳的成績但仍然有選球的問題 JS將評價調整為B-並預期他可能成為 .260/.310/.400的打者以SS來說不算太糟糕 Brignac played 113 games for the Rays in '10, hitting .256/.307/.385, 92 OPS+, 1.5 WAR. However his hitting tailed off in '11 with a .193/.227/.221 mark, then he spent most of 2012 back in Triple-A, having a terrible season for Durham (.231/.323/.353). 10年在光芒打出令人期待的成績與JS期待相去不遠 11年在光芒打出非常糟糕的成績 12年即使在3A也打得令人失望的球季 So what we have here is a guy who came into pro ball from high school with a "strong bat, doubtful glove" reputation but who is now exactly the opposite: strong glove, doubtful bat. By all accounts, he's worked very hard to improve his defense, with good results. But for all that effort, Brignac's inability to control the strike zone and unlock the secrets of advanced pitching cost him his job in Tampa. Plate discipline was always his biggest weakness even when he was putting up solid overall numbers, and he just hasn't been able to fix that weakness. Brignac最後長成得期待與最初的評價出現兩極的落差主要的問題還是在於他的選球問題 Can he recover? He just turned 27 last month, the classic age for sudden improvement, and Coors Field is obviously a much friendlier hitting environment than Tropicana. I totally understand why the Rays let Brignac go; it just wasn't happening for him, but this is a low- risk, potentially high-reward move for the Rockies. Perhaps a new set of coaching eyes and a fresh start will revive the hitting skills that Brignac showed when he was younger. 他能克服嗎他還仍然很年輕只有27歲或許突然長出選球眼也說不定 If anyone needs a change of scenery, it's Brignac. 光芒沒養成Brignac是有點失望但是將他交易到落磯至少他萬一爆發也不太會遇到TB 祝福他了Brignac -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.110.168
