Re: Pitching future plenty bright for Braves
※ 引述《bounds (認真的人就輸了)》之銘言:
: Pitching future plenty bright for Braves
: Organization might have most top-flight prospects in its history
: By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
: LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- When Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Steve Avery and Kent
: Mercker were advancing through their farm system two decades ago, the Braves
: didn't know exactly how special that group of young pitchers would prove to be.
: But with their farm system now stocked with the live arms possessed by Tommy
: Hanson, Jeff Locke, Julio Teheran and Cole Rohrbough, they understand why some
: believe that they have more top-level pitching prospects than at any other
: point in the organization's long history.
在老葛、老史、Avery與Mercker在20年前由自家農場系統助勇士後,勇士已不知道他們
的年輕投手們是否能夠證明自己的特別。不過他們的農場現在擁有許多年輕的肉體如
Tommy Hanson,Jeff Locke, Julio Teheran 以及Cole Rohrbough等人。他們能夠理解
為何有些人相信與漫長歷史中的任一時刻相比,這群投手新秀皆屬頂級。
: "This is fun to watch," said Guy Hansen, a long-time pitching coach in the
: Atlanta farm system. "It's exciting. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I'm
: watching all of these young kids pitch. This is the best depth I've ever seen
: in any system."
"嘿,等著瞧吧。"勇士農場中的投教Guy Hansen說,"太讓人興奮了,當我看到這群小
朋友在投球時就好像小屁孩在糖果屋的感覺一樣。這是我見過最棒的農場深度了!"
: Tabbed as the game's fourth-best prospect by Baseball America, Hansen heads
: the cast of young pitchers that have created so much optimism. The 22-year-old
: right-hander, who is expected to join the Atlanta rotation at some point this
: season, is seemingly the best power-pitching prospect to come through the
: Braves' organization since Smoltz.
Hanson被BA認為是聯盟中第四好的新秀,率領著這班小投手們並讓人十分樂觀。這位22歲
的右投將可能在季中加入勇士的輪值,並希望成為自老史之後勇士系統中的強力投手。
: "He's a fierce competitor," Hansen said. "I saw Roy Halladay at around the
: same age, and I'd compare Hanson to him. They've both got great arms, and when
: they get on the mound, they're not going to let [opponents] beat you."
"他是位兇猛的競爭者,"Hansen說道。"我看過Roy Halladay在約相同年紀的時候,我把
他與Hanson做比較,他們都有傷當好的手臂,當他們站上投手丘時,他們不允許任何人
擊敗他們。"
: Kris Medlen, a right-hander who pitched with Hansen with Double-A Mississippi
: last year, has caught Braves manager Bobby Cox's attention and seems to have a
: chance to begin this season in the Atlanta bullpen. But there's also a good
: chance that he'll be a part of Triple-A Gwinnett's talented starting rotation.
: Some Major League scouts have referred to Medlen as a poor man's Greg Maddux.
: The 23-year-old, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs approximately 190 pounds,
: possesses a live fastball, an above-average curve and a plus changeup.
Kris Medlen為Hanson去年在2A的戰友,今年接到考爺的邀請並有機會開季時在勇士
的牛棚中亮相,但也有可能從3A的先發輪值出發。一些球探認為Medlen是窮人版的老麥。
這位23歲的右投,高5尺10吋,重190磅,有著優異的速球、平均以上的曲球以及還可
以的變速球。
: "He can drop any pitch he wants on you in any count, and that's what makes him
: so special," Cox said of Medlen, who BA tabbed as the organization's best
: prospect.
"他能夠任意控制著他的投球(不太會翻>"<),這讓他傷當特別,"考爺這樣評論著Medlen。
: Medlen began fast-tracking toward the Majors when he moved into Mississippi's
: rotation midway through last year. Then he truly turned eyes during the Arizona
: Fall League, where he registered 25 strikeouts and issued just one walk in 25
: innings.
當Medlen去年加入了2A的先發中段輪值之後,他快速地邁向了大檸檬之路。接著他在
AFL中更進一步,丟出了26k而僅僅在25局中投出一次BB。
: Another special prospect making his way through the Atlanta system is 18-year-
: old right-hander Julio Teheran, who received a $850,000 signing bonus when he
: signed with the Braves in 2007. A native of Colombia, Teheran possesses a
: fastball that has already touched 93 mph and advanced baseball instincts.
另一個正開創他自己人生的道路的則是勇士在2007以850k簽約金簽下的18歲右投
Julio Teheran,土生土長的Colombia人。Teheran有著93mph的速球以及更多的棒球天賦。
: Teheran battled some right shoulder discomfort last year and made just six
: appearances for Rookie level Danville.
Teheran去年與右肩的病痛對抗因此僅僅在R出賽了6場。
: "He's got a good idea about what he has to do out on that mound," said Hansen,
: who will serve as Class A advanced Myrtle Beach's pitching coach this year.
: "Somebody taught him some advanced skills at a young age."
"他知道當他站上投手丘時他該做啥,"今年將擔任A+的投教Hansen說著,"在他還小時,
有人教他一些較進階的技巧。"
: Locke and Rohrbough are left-handers who struggled from a statistical
: perspective at Class A Rome last year. But both remain highly regarded
: prospects.
Locke與Rohrbough兩位左投今年都在1A中奮鬥,並且都被高度重視著。
: Locke, who possesses a fastball that has touched 94 mph and an improving hard
: curveball, went 5-12 with a 4.06 ERA for Rome. Still the 21-year-old southpaw's
: power arm, which produced 113 strikeouts and issued 38 walks in 139 2/3 innings
: last year, is highly regarded by scouts.
Locke有著94mph的速球以及扎實的曲球,在1A的成績為5勝-12敗,ERA 4.06。但
仍為southpaw中的強力手臂,在去年的139 2/3局中送出113k與38BB而被球探高度關注著。
: Rohrbough, who is tabbed the game's 14th-best left-handed prospect, suffered
: an offseason left ankle injury that led to some early struggles with Rome last
: year. But the 21-year-old left-hander got stronger as the year progressed and
: earned an August promotion to Myrtle Beach.
Rohrbough被認為是聯盟農場中第14好的左手新秀,由於左踝的傷使得他一開始在1A
有些掙扎,不過這位21歲的左投新秀隨著時間而有所成長並在8月時升至A+。
: Armed with a power fastball and one of the best power curveballs in the
: organization, Rohrbough has impressed the Braves during the early days of Minor
: League camp. He's starting to show some of the strength he possessed in 2007,
: when he registered 96 strikeouts and allowed just 33 hits in 61 combined
: innings with Danville and Rome.
有著有力的速球以及優異的曲球,Rohrbough在前些日子的小聯盟營(是這樣翻嗎@@)中的
表現令勇士印象深刻,他在2007開始逐漸的發揮他的壓制力,在R與1A的61局投球裡,
他送出了96k而只被打了33支安打而已。
: "He looks healthy, and the ball is really coming out of his hand right now,"
: Braves director of player development Kurt Kemp said. "He's throwing like he
: was two years ago."
"他看起來像個健康寶寶,而好戲才正要開始呢!"勇士的指導員Kurt Kemp說著,"他投
的就像兩年前一樣。"
: Chipper Jones has spent the past couple of years campaigning for the Braves
: to start drafting more power arms. Courtesy of Hanson, Medlen, Locke, Teheran
: and Rohrbough it appears the veteran third baseman's wish has been granted.
老大過去兩年希望勇士多挑些強力手臂,而由Hanson、Medlen、Locke、Teheran
與Rohrbough正是給這位勇士的大當家的禮物。
: "These are power, championship-caliber arms," Hansen said. "It's fun to watch
: these guys now, and it's going to be even more exciting to watch them over the
: next few years."
"這些就是能夠衝擊總冠軍的力量,"Hansen說著,"看著這群小夥子很有意思,而往
後數年他們將帶給人們更多的期待與興奮!"
: Hansen---------Roy Halladay
: Kris Medlen--------poor man's Greg Maddux
: Julio Teheran-----18歲有93MPH
: Locke and Rohrbough----southpaw's power arm
: Rohrbough------ Armed with a power fastball and one of the best power curveballs
: in the organization
