[翻譯] Baseball Analysts對於今年勇士選秀之感想(節錄)
……Give me the big bat, especially a switch-hitting catcher with a rocket arm
. Oh, and if it is all about not wanting to deal with Scott Boras and saving
money, then there were still plenty of other choices out there, including Jason
Heyward, a 6-4, 220-pound, power-hitting outfielder with a mature approach at
the plate despite not turning 18 until August. I like his ceiling and
apparently so do the Atlanta Braves.- Posted by Rich, 6/10/07, 7:45 a.m. PT
給我大棒子,特別是擁有火箭般手臂的左右開弓捕手。喔,如果是為了不想要跟Scott
Boras打交道藉此省錢,那麼在那邊依舊還是有不少的選擇,包括了Jason Heyward、一
個六呎四吋高、兩百二十磅重的強打外野手,即便直到八月前還未滿十八歲,在打擊區
卻有著成熟的技能。我喜歡他的極限,而很明顯地亞特蘭大勇士也喜歡。
Most teams are known for preferring specific types of players in the draft;
the Oakland Athletics favor college players, some teams like a good mix of
college and prep players, while teams such as the Atlanta Braves
traditionally prefer to nab high school players. So it comes as a bit of a
surprise to see that the Braves took only three prep players with their first
15 picks (13 rounds).
大部分的球隊以在選秀當中偏好特定類型的球員著稱;奧克蘭運動家喜愛大學球員,有
些球隊喜歡在大學以及高中球員之間取得良好平衡,至於像是亞特蘭大勇士之類的球隊
傳統上偏好去爭奪高中球員。因此對於勇士今年在前十五順位(前十三輪)的選秀當中只
選進了三個高中球員一事,有點令人驚訝。
There could be a number of reasons for this. Perhaps the Braves felt their
system is beginning to thin out so they wanted some players that could move
quickly, or perhaps they simply took the best players available with each
pick and it is simply a coincidence. Regardless, the prep players that they
took are intriguing and offer plenty of upside.
對此可能有一些原因,也許勇士覺得他們的系統開始弱化,因此他們需要一些能夠快速
升遷的球員,或著也許他們僅僅在每一個順位當中挑選所能得到的最佳球員,因此這僅
僅是個巧合。無論如何,他們所挑選的高中球員是引起他人注意的,同時也提供了不少
的進步。
With their first pick (14th overall), the Braves grabbed Georgia high school
outfielder Jason Heyward, who simply oozes tools and is (obviously) a local
boy. Baseball America stated in a recent scouting report that Heyward has
more potential than almost any player in the draft, aside from a healthy
Andrew Brackman. With raw plus-plus power, Heyward could be challenging
another Georgia high schooler - Jeff Francoeur - for playing time in four to
five years.
在他們的第一順位(全部球隊的第十四順位),勇士選進了喬治亞當地高中的外野手Jason
Heyward,完全地展現了天份,同時(很明顯地)是個在地的男孩。Baseball Amreica在最
近的球探報告當中表示,Heyward比起選秀當中的任何一位球員,天份都要來的高,伴隨
在健康的Andrew Brackman之旁。有著++的raw power,Heyward能夠挑戰另一位喬治亞
州當地的高中球員-Jeff Francoeur-四到五年後的上場時間。
Iowa high school infielder Jon Gilmore was the Braves' second choice with the
33rd pick in the supplemental round. Gilmore struggled through injuries this
season, but was excellent on the showcase circuit last summer. He was
expected to last until the second or third round but by popping him early,
Atlanta will probably keep him away from Wichita State. One knock on Gilmore
is that he spends all his energies on hitting and neglects his defense.
愛荷華州高中內野手Jon Gilmore是勇士的第二位選秀,在三明治選秀當中所取得的第三
十三順位球員。Gilmore今年球季與傷痛奮鬥著,但在去年夏天舉行的秀場當中相當地傑
出。他被預估直到第二或是第三輪才會被選中,但由於毫無預警地被選上,亞特蘭大或
許會令他放棄威奇塔州立大學。不幸的是Gilmore幾乎花費他全部的精力在打擊方面,忽
略了他的防守。
The Braves third prep pick was California two-way player Freddie Freeman, who
is relatively inexperienced on the mound but throws 90-93 mph with a solid
slider. I'm not 100 percent sure if Atlanta plans to have him pitch or play
first base. My guess is that they plan to first try him as a hitter, as he is
a 6-5, left-handed batter with plus power potential. If all else fails, it is
easy to convert a player back to a pitcher, rather than the other way around
(unless your name is Rick Ankiel). Freeman is a Cal State Fullerton recruit.

勇士選進的第三位高中球員是加州的兩棲球員Freddie Freeman、在投手丘上的經驗相當
地生嫩,卻有著90-93mph的速球、伴隨著可靠的滑球。我並不百分之百肯定亞特蘭大計
畫要讓他擔任投手或是一壘手。我的猜測是,他們會試著以打者的身分將他擺在一壘,
由於他是個六呎五吋、有著+長打潛力的左打者。如果其它計畫都失敗的話,比起其他
方式,讓一位球員轉職回投手是很容易的(除非你的名字是Rick Ankiel)。Freeman是加
州大學富爾頓分校的新鮮人。
14. Atlanta Braves
Jason Heyward, OF, Henry County High School (GA)
Height/Weight: 6-4, 220 | DOB: 8/9/89
Heyward has tremendous plus-plus, left-handed power and also has the
potential to hit for a high average. As a result, he was never expected to
make it out of the first 10 or 14 picks. Heyward is an average fielder who
plays center field in high school but will likely move to either left or
right field in pro ball. Some scouts say he can be too patient at the plate
at times, but he possesses solid pitch recognition. He has committed to UCLA
but is expected to display his excellent baseball instincts in pro ball
instead.-Posted by Marc Hulet
Heyward有著驚人的++左打力量,同時也有潛力去追求高打擊率。結果就是,他從未被
預估掉出前十或十四順位之外。Heyward是個平均水準的守備員,在高中時期擔任中外野
手,但進入職業後可能被移到左外野或是右外野去。有些球探表示他有些時候在打擊區
過於有耐心,但他擁有著穩定的辨識球路能力。他已經在UCLA就讀,但被預估會取而帶
之地在職業棒球界展現他傑出的棒球天份。
Nice pick. The Braves sure love prospects from Georgia.- Posted by Rich
選的好,勇士確實喜歡來自喬治亞州的新秀。
33. Atlanta Braves (from Baltimore for Danys Baez)
Jon Gilmore, 3B, City High School (IA)
Height/Weight: 6-3, 190 | DOB: 8/23/88
Gilmore is still in the projection stages. He has projectable power and has
recently shown the ability to make adjustments with breaking pitches. Gilmore
lacks quickness and range at third base. He also does not run well. Gilmore
puts more effort into his hitting than his defense. Regardless, his raw power
and the huge strides he has made in his hitting abilities are intriguing.
Gilmore is committed to Wichita State University and is the brother-in-law of
Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist.-Posted by Marc Hulet
Gilmore依舊處在評估階段,他有著可預期的長打能力,近來也展現了能夠對於變化球做
調整的能力。Gilmore在三壘方面缺乏靈敏度以及守備範圍,同時他的跑壘也不好。
比起防守,Gilmore在他的打擊方面下了較大的工夫。無論如何,他的raw power以及他
在打擊能力方面所做的進展,是很引人注意的。Gilmore已經在威奇塔州立大學就讀,同
時也是坦帕灣Ben Zobrist的小叔。
