這是SportingNews上寫的，不過並不是每個人都有；翻譯很麻煩，所以就不翻了，應該不難看懂。大抵上ok，不過有幾個地方似乎有點過於美化了，感覺跟去年看球的印象不太符合；MacDougal的部分，給他的評分似乎太低了點；沒有提到 Matt Thornton，也覺得有點可惜。下一篇我會把野手部分打上來。（最近家裡網路不穩，害我斷線少賺不少錢......） ROTATION ======== RHP Jose Contreras 2006 stats: 13-9, 4.27, 1.27 WHIP, 196.0 IP, 134 SO, 55 BB, .256 BA. Throws: A 91-95 mph fastball, a slurve and a forkball. Tendencies: Has very long arm action but a deceptive fastball that really gets on the hitter quickly. Has a deliberate delivery that adds to the deception. Breaking ball is more of a quick, running slurve. Throws the forkball more than half the time on a given day; has two different types-- one thatstarts higher for a strike, another that starts in the middle, drops to the dirt and often produces a swing strikeout. Outlook: Contreras has two plus pitches and can log more than 200 innings. He has exceptional mound presence and good enough command to win 20 games. Grade: 8.6 LHP Mark Buehrle 2006 stats: 12-13, 4.99, 1.45 WHIP, 204.0 IP, 98 SO, 48 BB, .305 BA Throws: A fastball from 86-90 mph, a cut fastball, a curveball, a slider and a circle change. Tendencies: Struggled through a down 2006 season. Had problems establishing his cut fastball and made too many mistakes in the middle of the plate. Has a good delivery but struggles when hitters adjust and become more patient, which forces him deeper into counts. Has good tailing action on his fastball. Shows curve early and uses slider much like his cutter. Turns over change to run away from righthanded hitters. Outlook: Buehrle needs to trust his stuff and attack the zone, especially early in the count. If he can force hitters to chase his fastball and slider off the plate, he will bounce back to win 15 games. Grade: 8.5 RHP Jon Garland 2006 stats: 18-7, 4.51, 1.36 WHIP, 211.1 IP, 112 SO, 41BB, .294 BA Throws: An 88-93 mph sinker, a curveball, a slider and a changeup. Tendencies: Has a consistent sinker for a pitcher who throws over the top. Has improved his command and is pitching more off his fastball. Starting to throw his slider more than the curve because of his ability to control it. Has become more confident challenging hitters. Outlook: Garland, an 18-game winner last year, is an upper-rotation guy with durability. Grade: 9.2 RHP Javier Vazquez 2006 stats: 11-12, 4.84, 1.29 WHIP, 202.2 IP, 184 SO, 56 BB, .259 BA Throws: A fastball from 89-94 mph, a curveball, a slider and a split- finger pitch. Tendencies: Changes arm angle consistently and will add and substrate from his fastball. A strikeout pitcher with good command and a tight-biting curve with good rotation. Slider is quick but occasional flat. Offspeed pitch is a splitter that sinks sharply; will throw it to lefthanded and righthanded hitters. Outlook: Vazquez's stuff improved last year. He throws three quality pitches with command from a variety of release points. He's a solid mid-rotation starters. Grade: 8.4 RHP Gavin Floyd 2006 stats: 4-3, 7.29, 1.88 WHIP, 54.1 IP, 34 SO, 32 BB, .315 BA Throws: A fastball from 88-91 mph, a curveball and a changeup. Tendencies: Has above-average stuff but struggles with confidence. Tend to overanalyze, and has difficulty repeating his delivery. Has lost velocity on his once mid-90's fastball. Curve can be his best pitch but is inconsistent; it too often has a big lateral break that's hard to control. Has good movement on change and should use it more. Does not handle adversity well. Outlook: Floyd will benefit from a fresh start after the Phillies gave up on him. The Sox gambled by taking him in the Freddy Garcia trade and will give him every chance to win a job Grade: 6.0 CLOSER ====== RHP Bobby Jenks 2006 stats: 3-4, 4.00, 41 SV, 1.39 WHIP, 69.2 IP, 80SO, 31 BB, .253 BA Throws: A fastball at 94-100 mph, a hard curveball nad a slider. Tendencies: One of the game's hardest throwers; fastball can reach 100, but he pitches comfortably in the upper 90s. Very difficult for hitters to lay off his riding four-seamer. Has a very hard curve with tight rotation. Starting to throw a slider with late bite and good depth. Has a good delivery and angle to the plate from the top. Outlook: With his improved delivery and command, Jenks has joined the ranks of elite closers. Grade: 9.2 SETUP MAN ========= RHP Mike MacDougal 2006 stats: 1-1, 1.55, 0.93 WHIP, 21 SO, 6 BB, .206 BA. Tendencies: Has a herky-jerky, maximum effort delivery with a lot of deception. Throws a heavy, boring fastball that's difficult tfor hitters to pick up. Occasionally will cut his fastball, but it stays flat. Slider has good depth with a sharp break; tends to overthrow it. Outlook: MacDougal is more comforable in a setup role because of his high pitch counts. Grades: 6.5 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 24.6.95.48
