原文：http://ppt.cc/rXDd 緊接著是野手篇 Richie Shaffer, 3B (Charlotte) The Rays drafted Shaffer in the first round of the 2012 draft as an advanced college hitter who they hoped could move quickly through the minor leagues. Shaffer’s career thus far has not exactly gone according to plan. This season, Shaffer has hit to just a .254/.309/.404 line with 33 doubles, 11 homers, 71 RBI and 6 stolen bases (without getting caught) in 506 plate appearances. Shaffer has struck out 105 times, not an exorbitant amount (20.6 % of his plate appearances), and we knew he was going to strike out, but what has really been surprising was that he has walked just 34 times (6.8%). Shaffer was known for his plate discipline at Clemson, but it seems know that maybe his walks were more a product of patience than pitch recognition and that doesn’t work even at High-A. Luckily, though, Shaffer has adjusted since the start of June, managing a much more reasonable 61-26 mark in 309 PA ’s. Shaffer’s power hasn’t really come out yet either, but the Rays have to hope that once he gets his pitch recognition under control, it will come out in earnest as well. In the Arizona Fall League, Shaffer, still just 22, will keep working on his pitch recogntion and harnessing his power in games, and if he can break through on that, he could be primed for a huge 2013. Shaffer may also get some time in the corner outfield spots as the Rays try to prepare him for his future position in the major leagues. Shaffer made strides in the second half of his first full season, and the Rays hope he can turn the corner for good in the Arizona Fall League. 光芒在'12年第一輪選中Shaffer，並期待這位出色的大學打者可以在小聯盟裡快步晉升。可惜Shaffer目前的成長不如預期。這季的506個打數只交出.254/.309/.404 ，33支二壘安打，11發全壘打，71分打點，6 次盜壘成功的成績單。 Shaffer本季吞下105次三振，不算過高的數字（K% 20.6%），畢竟他本來就是容易被三振的打者，但令人不解的是他整季只選到34次保送（BB% 6.8%）。Shaffer過去在Clemson可是以出色選球知名的打者，但他的保送似乎更多來自於他的耐心而不是球路辨識，而且目前還無法適應高階1A的挑戰。所幸，Shaffer從六月以後開始進行修正，309個打數中，K/BB來到更為合理的 61/26。他的長打能力也還沒展現出來，但光芒相信一旦磨練出辨識球路的能力，長打能力也能更完整的展現在成績上。在AFL，22歲的Shaffer必須持續磨練球路辨識的技巧，並學會如何把長打力量結合在比賽中，也許他會獲得在邊角外野出賽的機會，這個守位很可能會幫助他更早站上大聯盟。 Shaffer下半季有顯著的進步，光芒希望他可以在AFL展現更強大的反彈力道。 ------ Ryan Brett, 2B (Mongomery) As we keep talking about, Ryan Brett has had himself one of the craziest seasons anyone has ever seen in 2013. The 21 year old Brett was suspended at the end of last season for methamphetamine after taking a pill to try to break out of a slump, but that was only the start of his troubles as he proceeded to have kidney and sports hernia surgeries before the 2013 season even started. Since taking the field in mid-May however, Brett has put together better than anyone could have dreamed. In 324 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A, Brett has a .303/.358/.458 line with 17 doubles, 4 triples, 7 homers, 38 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 32 attempts. He has struck out 39 times while walking 22 times. Three main issues with him game have held Brett back over the years: pitch recognition, a lack of power, and poor defense at second base. This season, though, he has started to be more selective at the plate, and that has also allowed him to find more pitches to drive and hit for solid power. He remains a tad overaggressive at the plate, something Double-A pitchers have exploited in his brief time at the level, but with more work, Brett could end up being an interesting table-setter in a big league lineup and at least 1o t0 15 homer power. On the defensive side, meanwhile, Brett has already improved tremendously, working on his footwork and actions to become an average defender with a chance to be more. Brett is principally in the Arizona Fall League just to get at-bats after the suspension and injuries, but he will continue focusing on his patience, power, and defense with the hope that he won’t stay in Double-A long when he returns there next season. 如同我們一直討論的，2013年對Ryan Brett來說是他職業生涯最瘋狂的賽季，21 歲的 Brett上季因為服用甲基安非他命被得到禁賽的懲處，但這只是麻煩的開始，開季前，還分別還動了腎臟和疝氣手術。然而，就在他五月中旬開始上場後，他的表現出乎意料的好。在高階1A和AA的324個打數中，Brett交出.303/.358/.458的打擊三圍，17支二壘安打，7轟，38分打點，32次盜壘嘗試成功25次，K/BB是出色的39/22。他上了大聯盟可能會成為一位出色的一、二棒打者（table-setter，很有趣的用字，指為中心棒次製造打點機會的打者），每年交出10到15轟的成績。防守端的進步非常顯著，不論是腳步還是反應都有平均水平，而且還有成長的機會。Brett在AFL出賽的目的主要是補足因為禁賽和傷病缺少的打數，但他會持續磨練選球、長打和防守能力，期待他明年重回光芒體系，不會在AA待上太長時間是我們的期待。 ------ Curt Casali, C (Montgomery) No one in the Rays organization has managed nearly as good of a season as Curt Casali. Casali, a 24 year old acquired from the Tigers at the end of spring training, has hit to a .311/.391/.481 line in 307 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A including a crazy .381/.463/.600 line in 123 Double-A PA’s. He has hit 14 doubles and 10 homers, driven in 52, and managed a 46-34 strikeout to walk ratio. Casali has truly had an unbelievable season. But where does he go from here? The Arizona Fall League will be a major deciding factor as the Rays try to figure that out. Casali has achieved his success in a pretty small sample, especially at Double-A (just 123 PA’ s), and he clearly is not this good. Casali is interesting as a catcher with good patience and a little pop. He hits lefties extremely well, something that could be enough for him to land him a spot in the Rays’ catching mix as some point within the next two years, while not being totally helpless against righties either. But as just a decent all-around hitter, his defense is going to be very important, and he still has more work to do. Casali doesn ’t have a great arm and is not the most athletic receiver (although he does frame the ball well), and he has to get up to par defensively if the Rays are ever going to consider him a real starting option. Casali has started to become a real big league option for the Rays after his big season. Now let’s see if he take the necessary steps in the Arizona Fall League to keep that the case. 光芒農場裡沒有人擁有比Curt Casali更好的球季了，24歲的 Casali在今年春訓期間才被光芒從老虎交易過來（送出的 Kyle Lobstein，今年的成績很亮眼，也會參加AFL），今年在高階1A和AA的307個打數交出.311/.391/.481的打擊三圍，包括14支二壘安打，10發全壘打，52分打點，K/BB是不錯的46/34。 Casali的確擁有不錯的球季，但他最後能成長到什麼程度呢？這是光芒想透過 AFL知道的，Casali已經在小樣本中取得成功，但很明顯沒這麼出色。他是一位有耐心、有點長打能力的捕手，左投殺手，這個特色足以讓光芒在接下來兩年把他放進捕手群中，同時他對右投手也有一定的打擊實力。作為一位平均的全方位打擊者，他的防守就顯得格外重要，而他仍然還有很多值得改進的地方。Casali臂力並不出色，運動能力也不出色（雖然接捕能力很棒。），如果想成為光芒未來的先發捕手，至少在防守端要有平均水準才行。在優異的賽季之後，Casali已經被光芒視為可能的大聯盟球員。現在，讓我們一起觀察他是否在AFL取得足夠的成長。 ------ Todd Glaesmann, OF (Montgomery) Todd Glaesmann may very well have the best combination of raw tools in the entire Rays system. In 2012, he finally started showing it, managing a .285/.336/.493 line with 25 doubles, 7 triples, 21 homers, 93 RBI, and 8 stolen bases in 540 plate appearances on his way to the Rays’ Minor League Player of the Year award. But this season, it’s his flaws that have stood out more than his strengths as he has slipped to a .239/.290/.376 line with 25 doubles, 11 homers, 52 RBI, and 6 stolen bases in 507 plate appearances. Glaesmann’s issue becomes pretty obvious once we include the big stats we left out: his strikeouts and walks. This year, Glaesmann has just a 108-26 strikeout to walk ratio, and even in his breakout 2012, he struck out 124 times against just 30 walks. Glaesmann has never had great pitch recognition, and an aggressive approach at the plate only makes things worse. But the Rays are hoping that something can click as they send him to the Arizona Fall League. Glaesmann, 22, features all five tools, showing tremendous bat speed, above-average power, solid speed even as he has filled out to 6’4〃, 220, good fielding in right field, and an extremely strong arm. If he can find enough plate discipline, he will use that package of abilties to be a starting corner outfielder in the big leagues and maybe even a star. If not, there is still enough talent for Glaesmann to possibly carve out a career as a 4th outfielder. Glaesmann has always seen the ball better against lefties, and he is strong enough in the outfield to play centerfield on an occasional basis. Glaesmann was an upside play from the start, and it has not exactly worked out yet except for that 2012 season. But Glaesmann still has a strong chance of being a big league contributor, and the Rays hope that the AFL can be where he starts at least the minor breakthrough he needs to be a backup. Todd Glaesmann的綜合能力可能是農場裡最好的，2012年他用.285/.336/.493， 25支二壘安打，7支三壘安打，21支全壘打，93分打點，8次盜壘成功的成績單支持了這個說法，同時也贏得光芒農場年度最佳球員的殊榮。但他這季在打擊上的缺陷一覽無疑，.239/.290/.376的打擊三圍，25支二壘安打，11發全壘打，52分打點和 6次盜壘成功。 Glaesmann的缺陷非常明顯，就是三振和保送。這季的K/BB是108/26，就算是破繭而出的2012也是124/30。他辨識球路的能力始終不佳，過度積極的揮擊反而讓事情變得更糟，但光芒希望這些問題能在AFL看到改善的可能。22歲的Glaesmann是位五工具的好手，驚人的揮棒速度，水準之上的長打能力，雖然身材高大，但速度也很不錯，在右外野的防守很穩定，他具備在大聯盟成為先發邊角外野手的天賦，甚至可能成為明星。退而求其次，他依舊有機會成為四號外野手。 Glaesmann在面對左投手的選球問題沒這麼嚴重，偶爾還可以擔任中外野手。他有成為固定先發的實力，但除了去年，他的成績還無法說明這一切，光芒希望 AFL的經歷可以幫助他至少成為一位替補外野手。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.118.222.50
