[情報] Alonso, Francisco named top prospects
有兩位內野手入選了明年前50大新秀:Yonder Alonso------(30)
Juan Francisco-----(48)
回想08年的時候，我們擁有了預測第一名的新秀Jay Bruce，的確在隔年馬上就登上了大聯
盟，而今年第一名則是勇士的Jason Heyward，第二名是國民的Stephen Strasburg。
*Yonder Alonso:去年在1A和2A總共出賽了78場，成績是三成打擊率、九發全壘打、52分打
點。但右手的傷可讓他吃足了苦頭。之後也到過3A打了五場季後賽。這種待遇可算的上是
三級跳，但想上大聯盟仍言之過早。
*Juan Francisco:去年在2A和3A共出賽122場，是紅人小聯盟體系的全壘打王，打擊率排行
第五名。九月擴編時上來過了，打擊率4成29，也有一發全壘打。明年開季依舊從3A出發，
但其實已經把左外野空下來給他了，之後Rolen即將移防至三壘。打擊在隊上新人當中可排
上前三名，有如此強大的power將得以在激烈競爭中佔有一席之地。

CINCINNATI -- Two Reds corner-infield prospects received further acknowledgment
on Wednesday that their big league futures should be bright.
MLB.com revealed that first baseman Yonder Alonso and third baseman Juan
Francisco were included in MLB.com's Top 50 Prospects list. Alonso was ranked
No. 30 while Francisco came in at No. 48.
The Top 50 Prospects list is back for the seventh year, but this was the first
time that the announcement was simulcast on MLB.com and MLB Network.
Heading into the 2008 season, Reds right fielder Jay Bruce was named as the
No. 1 prospect by MLB.com. Bruce reached the Majors by May of that season. The
top prospect this year is outfielder Jason Heyward of the Braves, followed by
pitcher and '09 overall No. 1 Draft pick Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals.
In 78 games combined for Class A Sarasota and Double-A Chattanooga, the 22-year
-old Alonso batted .300 with nine home runs and 52 RBIs.He missed two months on
the disabled list with a broken hamate bone in his right hand that required
surgery.
After the regular season, Alonso was moved up to Triple-A Louisville and played
five games in the postseason.
"A list like that is an honor, but, honestly, it doesn't mean much," Alonso
said. "It doesn't take me to the big leagues. It doesn't get me called up, but
it's definitely an honor when you look at the guys on the list.I could be 50 or
I could be one, it's an honor just to be there."
In 131 games combined at Double-A Carolina and Triple-A Louisville, Francisco
batted .295 with 27 homers and 93 RBIs.He led all Reds Minor Leaguers in homers
and was fifth in hitting.
As a September callup to Cincinnati, Francisco batted .429 (9-for-21) with one
homer and seven RBIs in 14 games last year.
Although he will probably start the season at Louisville, the Reds are
considering Francisco for their vacancy in left field, with veteran Scott Rolen
already established at third base.
"If he is not our top hitting prospect in the organization, he's in the top
three," Reds Minor League director Terry Reynolds said earlier this month. "It
is up to Dusty [Baker] and Walt [Jocketty] where he'll play, but guys that can
hit usually find a place to play."
