[翻譯] Yankee's Top 25 Prospects 《上》
原文是TOP 50啦，不過我在洋基板看的，就只拿了有敘述的25。
50我要翻到死嗎...
總之，大家參考一下吧。
我有空的話會翻一下Dodgers的，不過要準備下禮拜的考試....OTL
後面越翻越簡略，那是正常的，因為發現文章比想像中長啊 囧
Scout.com: Top 50 Yankees Prospects
http://www.scout.com/
1.Jesus Montero - Big-bodied and strong, Montero led the Yankees farm system
in batting average for the second straight year, hitting .337 with 17 home
runs after hitting .326 in Charleston the yearbefore. His defensive game
remains a work in progress, but critics continue to overlook the fact that
he not only provides plus offensive potential at a normally weak hitting
position, but he does have a strong arm and he provides a big target behind
the plate, and offensively he's ready for the big leagues right now.
很壯很大隻，Montero連續第二年蟬聯洋基農場打擊率第一，繼去年在Charleston的.326之後，打出了 .337和17隻HR的成績。
他的防守還需要更多時間，但是批評者不斷的忽略除了他的打擊之外，他還是有很好的臂力，在本壘板後方也提供了很大隻的目標。
他的打擊已經可以打大聯盟了。
(Posada的接班人，會要多久呢~~)
2.Austin Jackson - There are players with better tools ranked below Jackson,
but few offer the same reliability in their projections. The pundits get down
on his lack of home run power right now, but they fail to acknowledge
the progress with his approach and that has put his power development on the
back burner. He upped his batting average from .285 in 2008 to an even .300
this year and he continued to become a lot more consistent both in his
offensive approach and defensive work. He still needs more seasoning at
Triple-A,but Jackson offers a great combination of upside and proximity to
the big leagues.
有些球員的天份比A-Jax高，排名卻比他低，那是因為他們都沒有A-Jax的Projection穩定度。
批評的人說他打不了HR，但是卻沒有注意到他在打擊區的態度更好，所以他的power進展只是被暫放一旁而已。
今年的打擊率從去年的 .285進步到 .300，他在打擊和防守的表現都漸趨穩定。他在3A需要更多時間，但是A-Jax已經離大聯盟不遠了。
(期待)
3.Austin Romine - The 2009 Florida State League Hitter of
the Year batted .276 with 13 home runs in the pitching friendly league
and saw his slugging percentage increase from the year before. But
while the offense is stellar at the catcher's position, it was the
great strides he took behind the plate that were more noticeable. Once
a less than reliable receiver, he is now as consistent as the come in
that department and he's a much better two-way threat at catcher.
在Florida State League拿到Hitter of the year，成績是 .276和13HR。要注意的是這樣的成績是在一個對投手占優勢的League打出來的。
SLG增加，但是真正的好消息是他在本壘板的防守進步了。曾經接球接的不是太好的他現在更加穩定。
4.Manny Banuelos - All the 18-year old Mexican lefty did
this year was go 9-5 with a 2.67 ERA as one of the youngest pitchers in
the South Atlantic League, and he did it while not having one of his
better pitches working for most of the season. He offers three plus
pitches, including a fastball that topped out at 96 MPH this year, and
he pitches like he's much older. Now that he has the plus curveball
working consistently, he could fly up through the minors.
這位十八歲的墨西哥左投今年沒什麼，只不過是以在South Atlantic League最年輕的投手之一的身分，投出了 9-5 跟 ERA2.67的成績而已。(而且還是在他比較擅長的一種球路不太靈光的情況下達成的)
他有三個plus pitch，快速球最高到達過96MPH，投球感覺起來比他實際年齡老(快查年齡!囧)。現在他的plus curve回來了，他應該會在小聯盟裡面一升再升。
5.Arodys Vizcaino - The Dominican right-hander is as
electric as they come on the mound. While his stats were good [posting
a 2.13 ERA and a better than a strikeout per inning in the NY Penn
League], they pale in comparison to just how good his stuff
is. He was sitting 94-96 MPH with his fastball late in the season,
showing the great plus curveball, and his changeup continues to get
better. If he could develop his changeup into a consistent plus pitch,
he too could race through the minor leagues.
多明尼加右投，很好很強大。2.13的ERA，超過9的k/9，非常好的stuff。
速球在球季的末端還有穩定的94-96 MPH，plus curve，變化球越來越好。如果他可以把他的變化球也練成plus pitch的話，他在小聯盟裡面應該會升的很快。
6.Andrew Brackman - Some won't be able to look past the ugly
overall numbers this season - 2-12, 5.91 ERA, and 26 wild pitches - but
by season's end he started looking like a big league pitcher. The Yankees
moved him to the bullpen and took away his changeup so he could just
focus on his mechanics and the end result was a complete 180 degree
turnaround in his ability to throw strikes. He now has repeatable
mechanics, an ability to pound the zone with strikes, and two big-time
plus pitches in his fastball and curveball. It's not out of the realm
of possibility that he could be a viable big league bullpen option as
soon as next season.
成績很糟糕，2-12、5.91 ERA，還有26個wild pitch。但是在球季的末端他感覺就快要像一個大聯盟的投手了。
洋基把他移到牛棚並且叫他不要投他的變化球，這樣他可以專心於自己的mechanics。結果他現在可以投好球了!!
他現在有個可以重複的投球機制，而且可以不斷的投好球。而且有非常棒的fast ball 跟 curve。他最快或許明年
就可以成為牛棚的選擇之一。
(so soon?)
7.Slade Heathcott - The Texas High School outfielder was just drafted this
year but few prospects contain his unique set of tools. A real good football
player as well,he is a physical specimen who has both power and speed to his
game, not to mention one of the better arms too. He projects to be a five-
tool standout in centerfield, but he also can throw 95 MPH from the mound
with a plus curveball if things don't work out for some reason offensively.
德州高中的外野手，今年才被選進來的。他是非常好的美式足球選手，有力量有速度還有很不錯的臂力。
他可以是五拍子選手，但是如果他的打擊不振，他至少還有他的95mph fastball和他的 plus curveball...
8.Corban Joseph - Stat-heads will look at his overall numbers and come away
somewhat impressed, but perhaps not Top Ten impressed. The fact of the matter
is that between his time in Extended Spring Training and the South Atlantic
League, he hit way over.300 with eight home runs in his first full
professional season. Most scouts agree, however, that there's a lot more
power to come and with his plate discipline that could make him a rare
offensive player at second base.
喜歡研究數據的人會看看他的成績，然後覺得，「嗯，還不錯」，但是不會覺得「哇~~好強喔。」
但是事實上就是，在他的延長春訓和south Atlantic League的季賽中，他打出了遠超過 .300的成績和8 HR，這些都來自他的第一個職業球季。
大部分的球探都認為他還有更多power，只要他的打擊紀律不要消失的話，他會是難得一見的攻擊型二壘手。
9.Gary Sanchez - The 16-year old Dominican player has yet to play an official
minor league game but there's no doubting his skillset. He has power
potential comparable to Montero and defensive abilities comparable to Romine,
but if that weren't enough, his overall offensive game is further advanced
than Montero's at a similar stage in their careers. That alone warrants a
Top Ten ranking already.
16歲的多明尼加小孩。他到現在都還沒打過一場小聯盟比賽，但是沒人會懷疑他的天份。他的power潛力約略等於Montero，而防守能力又約略等於Romine。
除此之外，他的打擊能力比十六算的Montero還要好。光是這點就足以把他放進top ten了。
10.J.R.Murphy - Like Sanchez, Murphy gives the Yankees another catching
prospect with plus offensive potential. His defensive game isn't as far
along, however, but few offer his baseball acumen and advanced hitting
approach. The prevailing thought inside the organization is that Murphy
could be Corban Joseph-like offensively and he can do it at the catcher's
position.
就像Sanchez，又是一個打擊型的捕手新秀。防守沒那麼好，但是很少新秀有他的棒球頭腦和他的打擊態度。
一般來講球團的看法是，他可以用捕手的身分打出Corban Joseph的成績。
11.Christian Garcia - Another year, another set of injuries for
the ultra-talented right-hander. He has everything anyone would want in
a pitcher except an ability to remain healtra他發展出了一個plus curve，而且changeup也在進步中。他的sinker也很特別，而且他的command也不錯。
他跟McAllister很像，但是有K的武器。
15.Jose Ramirez - The 19-year old gets overlooked by many
because he wasn't a big-money International free agent. That's a shame
too because he has one of the more electric arms at the minor league
level. Like Vizcaino and Stoneburner, Ramirez can generate plus power
with very little effort. He too was sitting 94-96 MPH at the end of the
season and he has a plus changeup in his arsensal. He throws a ton of
strikes too. His curveball is lacking right now, but he can spin the
baseball. If he can develop that into a consistent third plus pitch,
he'll break into the Top Ten prospects in a hurry. His arm is special.
因為不是花大錢簽回來的，所以常常被忽略。
但是他有非常好的投球機制，94-96mph的速球投的很輕鬆，而且有一個plus changeup。
非常會投好球，curve不太好，但是球還是很會轉。如果他可以把curve進化成plus pitch的話，他很快就會進入top ten的。
他有一隻非常特殊的手臂。
