[外電] ESPN Boston 選的紅襪十大新秀
SoxProspects: Top 10 at season's end
By Mike Andrews, SoxProspects.com | ESPNBoston.com
1. Xander Bogaerts (19)
SS, Double-A Portland
How acquired: Signed as an international free agent out of Aruba in August
2009. $410,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: .305/.371/.522 with 20 home runs for Portland and High-A Salem
Scouting Report: Bogaerts is looking more and more like a future perennial
All-Star. From a statistical standpoint, the Aruban shortstop posted solid
numbers across the board this season while generally playing against
competition three to four years his senior. Scouting wise, he continued to
show an improved plate approach while maintaining impressive power
production. He’s demonstrated a tremendous ability to adapt and learn at
each level, proving to be an intelligent and mature player who takes well to
coaching and the organization’s philosophies. The ball explodes off his bat
to all fields, whether it be in-game situations or in batting practice. He
projects as a middle-of-the-order run-producing bat for a first-division
club. In terms of areas of improvement, Bogaerts still has fringe-average
present pitch recognition and strike-zone judgment, and he’ll need to tone
down the aggressiveness of his approach. On defense, he has a slightly
above-average arm, solid range, and rough footwork. With more experience, he
should be able to slow his game down defensively and resist the need to rush
plays. But he also may lose lateral range as he continues to grow into his
frame. While it still looks like he’ll need to move off position to third
base or outfield over the long-term, it’s now a distinct possibility that
Bogaerts could break into the majors as a shortstop, possibly in late 2013.
If that’s the case, expect high error totals early on. While no one likes to
cite errors as a measure of defensive prowess, Bogaerts has averaged 44
errors-per-162-games over his minor league career. To put that in
perspective, the Dodgers have the most shortstop errors in the league in 2012
with 28. Boston has just 17.
Projection: Regular All-Star
Ceiling: Franchise Player
Projected 2013 assignment: Portland
1. Xander Bogaerts (19)
游擊手, Double-A Portland
如何獲得: 2009年八月以自由球員身分於阿魯巴群島簽約，簽約金 41 萬美金。
2012數據: .305/.371/.522 20全壘打
球探報告: Bogaerts看起來越來越像一個可以年年入選明星賽的明星球員。從數據
角度看，這位出身阿魯巴的遊擊手本季所有的統計成績都很優秀，而且
這是在他面對的對手幾乎都比他年長三到四歲的情況下打出來的。球探
的角度來看，他在保持著傑出長打能力的情況下他的打擊策略也不斷進
步。他展現了驚人的調整能力並且在各層級都有進步，證明了他是一個
聰明且成熟的球員，對於教練的指導還有球團的風格都很適應。不論是
在比賽還是練習中，球都被他打得像子彈一樣的射向各個方向。他被認
為會成為一個強隊的核心打線打下大量的分數。在還需要改進的方面，
Bogaert 對於球路的判斷還有選球仍然略低於平均，而且他有時揮棒太
過於積極。在防守方面，他的臂力略高於平均，防守範圍不錯，但腳步
仍顯粗糙。隨著經驗的增加，他可望在守備上不再那麼毛躁並且能夠更
從容的面對各種情況。但另一方面隨著他不斷的變壯，他防守的範圍可
能會變小。雖然長期看來他仍然最終會被移往三壘或外野，目前他仍有
機會在 2013 球季末以遊擊手的身分昇上大聯盟。如果這成真的話，可
以預期經驗仍顯稚嫩的他會發生很多守備失誤。在他的小聯盟生涯中，
平均每 162場他會發生多達 44 次的失誤。作為比較，道奇隊在過去一
年是游擊手失誤最多的球隊，共 28 次，而紅襪則只有 17 次。
預期: 固定的全明星
最佳情況: 球隊當家球星
2013年預期層級: AA Portland
2. Matt Barnes (22)
RHP, Salem
How acquired: Drafted in the 1st round, 2011. $1,500,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: 7-5, 2.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 133 strikeouts, 29 walks in 119.2
innings with Salem and Low-A Greenville
Scouting Report: With the 19th overall pick in the 2011 draft -- the club’s
highest pick since 2003 -- the Red Sox selected Matt Barnes out of the
University of Connecticut. He was considered a potential top-10 pick after an
excellent summer in 2010 with Team USA, but his stock fell due to the
impressive pitching depth in the 2011 draft class. A large right-hander with
a very projectable body, Barnes features a plus fastball that sits at 93-95
mph and tops out at 98 mph. His command and control, which were identified as
developmental areas coming into the season, were quite solid in 2012. His
74-77 mph curveball is his best secondary pitch, grading out as solid-average
with plus potential. He also mixes in a fringe-average to average mid-80s
changeup. His secondary pitches still need refinement, and he may need to
re-incorporate a fourth pitch, such as a slider or a cutter, if he wants to
develop into a top-of-the-rotation starter. He began the 2012 season with a
phenomenal run for Greenville, posting a 0.34 ERA in five starts, and
continued his dominance through the All-Star break. However, he began to hit
the rookie wall at the All-Star break, ultimately posting a 5.74 ERA in 12
starts in the second half. The hope is that the subpar second-half results
were more a result of stamina issues than the league catching up with him,
but it’s probably a little of both. If he works out those stamina issues and
refines his secondary pitches, Barnes profiles as a third starter at the
major league level.
Projection: No. 3 starter
Ceiling: No. 2 starter
Projected 2013 assignment: Portland
2. Matt Barnes (22)
右投手, High-A Salem
如何獲得: 2011年選秀第一輪，簽約金一百五十萬美金。
2012成績: 7-5, 2.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 133 三振, 29 保送 119.2局
球探報告: 2011年選秀中紅襪擁有球團自從 2003 年以來最高的選秀順位--第19順
位。紅襪利用這個機會選了來自康乃狄克大學的 Matt Barnes。在2010
年夏季入選美國國家隊並交出頂尖的表現後，他被認為是前十順位的大
熱門。但他的評價因為 2011 年選秀會上眾多的頂尖投手競爭而略有下
滑。一個高大並且還在繼續成長的右投手，Barnes擁有一顆優秀的快速
球，球速穩定的維持在 93-95 MPH並且最快可達 98 MPH 。在 2012 前
球季，不論是控球或是對好壞球的掌握他的表現得很好。他 74-77 MPH
的曲球是他最好的第二球路，被認為是優於平均並且有成為強力球路的
潛力。他還有一顆球速在 mid-80s，被認為是略低於平均到平均水準的
變速球。如果他未來想成為一個輪值前段的先發投手，那麼他的變化球
還需要磨練，並且非常需要發展一種第四球路，或許是滑球或卡特球。
他球季一開始在 Low-A Greenville 投出了驚人的成績，在五次先發中
自責分率低到驚人的 0.34 ，這樣壓倒性的表現持續到了明星賽前。但
他在明星賽後的表現明顯撞牆了，在他的最後 12 次先發中自責分率達
到 5.74 。球團希望他在下半球季的糟糕表現是因為體力的下滑而非打
者習慣他的球路，而答案可能兩者都有一些。如果他可以克服體力問題
並且加強他的變化球，Barnes可望成為一個三號先發。
預期: 三號先發
最佳情況: 二號先發
2013預期層級: AA Portland
3. Jackie Bradley, Jr. (22)
OF, Portland
How acquired: Drafted in the supplemental 1st round, 2011. $1,100,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: .313/.428/.478 with 9 home runs and 24 stolen bases for Portland
and Salem
Scouting Report: At one point considered a mid-to-high first-round pick,
Bradley fell to the supplemental round in 2011 due to a poor statistical
start followed by a tendon injury in his left wrist that ended his season.
Hitting from an open stance, he closes down well on pitch approach to keep
himself balanced. Overall, Bradley is a well-above-average contact hitter
with quick hands, fluid mechanics, an upward swing plane, solid bat control,
and a disciplined approach. However, he can overextend on occasion and
struggle with balls on the inner third of the plate. Bradley’s power
projection is average, but it’s not out of the question that he could fill
out and add strength, much like Jacoby Ellsbury did earlier in his career.
Bradley’s speed is also about a tick above-average, but he’s a smart runner
on the base paths and will steal some bases. On defense, he’s a very
polished outfielder who projects as an above-average center fielder over the
long haul. He shows strong instincts, solid range, a plus arm, and a reliable
glove. Overall, Bradley just might be the team’s center fielder of the
future if Ellsbury leaves via free agency after the 2013 season.
Projection: Major league regular
Ceiling: All-Star center fielder
Projected 2013 assignment: Portland with an early promotion to Triple-A
Pawtucket
3. Jackie Bradley, Jr. (22)
外野手, AA Portland
如何獲得: 2011年第一輪三明治選秀，簽約金一百一十萬美金。
2012成績: .313/.428/.478 9全壘打 24 盜壘
球探報告: 一度被認為是第一輪中前段的熱門人選，Bradley 在 2011 因為左腕肌
腱受傷導致糟糕的成績並且提早結束球季，這也使得他的身價迅速下滑
，最終滑落至三明治選秀。採用開放式的打擊姿勢，他對內角球的應對
很好。整體而言，Bradley 是一個明顯優於平均水準的安打型球員。擁
有靈活的手腕，流暢的揮棒，向上的揮棒軌跡，傑出的球棒控制以及不
錯的選球。然而，他有時會追打外角球並且對內角高球感到吃力。他的
長打力在平均左右，但他仍有機會經過鍛鍊增壯後有所進步，就像是
Jacoby Ellsbury 那樣。Bradley 的速度只是略高於平均，但他同時還
是一個聰明的跑者，可望有不錯的盜壘表現。在防守上，他在外野的防
守技巧相當純熟，未來可望成為首被優於平均的中外野手。他的第一步
判斷良好，守備範圍不錯，還有優秀的傳球臂力以及可靠的接球技巧。
整體而言，如果 Ellsbury 在 2013 年後不續約的話，Bradley 可望接
下球隊的先發中外野。
預期: 大聯盟固定先發
最佳情況: 明星級中外野手
2013預期層級: AA Portland 但很快被升到 AAA Pawtucket
4. Allen Webster (22)
RHP, Portland
How acquired: Acquired from Los Angeles with James Loney, Ivan De Jesus, and
two players to be named later for Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh
Beckett, Nick Punto, and cash considerations in August 2012
2012 Stats: 6-9, 3.86 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 129 strikeouts, 61 walks in 130.2
innings for Double-A Chattanooga and Portland
Scouting Report: Webster is one of the two high-profile pitchers acquired
from the Dodgers in the Adrian Gonzalez trade (the other being Rubby De La
Rosa, reportedly one of the players to be named later, and therefore not
included in these rankings). While he was not considered a major project
coming out of high school in 2008, Webster turned himself into one of Los
Angeles’ top pitching prospects prior to the trade. A groundball pitcher
with a lean, projectable frame and solid makeup, he has a smooth delivery but
tends to short-arm the ball on occasion, losing his release point. His
fastball sits in the 92-94-mph range and tops out at 97 mph. It has strong
downward movement, but his command of the pitch is fringe-average at this
stage. The right-hander also mixes in a plus 82-84-mph changeup, an average
80-82-mph slider, and an average 76-78-mph 11-to-5 curveball. In addition to
improving his command and maintaining a consistent release point, Webster
will need to work on mixing his pitches better at the next levels. That said,
he’s still quite advanced for a 22-year-old.
Projection: No. 4 starter
Ceiling: No. 3 starter
Projected 2013 assignment: Pawtucket
4. Allen Webster (22)
右投手, AA Portland
如何獲得: 在 Adrian Gonzalez 交易中自道奇交易到紅襪。
2012成績: 6-9, 3.86 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 129 三振, 61 保送 130.2局
球探報告: Webster 是 AGon 交易中道奇所送出的兩名強力新秀投手之一。雖然在
高中畢業時不被認為是頂及新秀，Webster 的努力讓他在被交易時已經
是道奇最被看好的投手新秀了。一個擁有強壯身材以及良好心理素質的
滾地球投手，他擁有一個流暢的投球動作但有時他會縮短揮臂導致放球
點不穩。他的快速球在 92-94 MPH，最快可達 97 MPH 。更重要的是他
的快速球有強烈的下沉尾勁，儘管他對於這麼強的尾勁有時掌握的並不
好。這位右投手還會搭配一顆 82-84 MPH的變速球，這顆球路的威力相
當不錯。另外的球路還有平均水準的滑球跟曲球，球速分別在 80-82 MPH
跟 76-78 MPH。除了加強控球跟穩定放球點外，Webster 還需要學習如
何更適當的運用及搭配他的球路。儘管有以上的缺點，作為年僅 22 歲
的新秀他相較下球技已經算是很成熟。
預期: 四號先發
最佳情況: 三號先發
2013預期層級: AAA Pawtucket
5. Bryce Brentz (23)
OF, Pawtucket
How acquired: Drafted in the supplemental 1st round, 2010. $889,200 bonus.
2012 Stats: .290/.349/.465 with 17 home runs with Portland and Pawtucket
Scouting Report: A solid athlete with a developed body, Brentz struggled
initially after entering the pro ranks in 2010, but he has since worked out
some kinks in his swing and adjusted to life as a professional. He’s an
aggressive power hitter with middle-of-the-order power potential. While he
can often get caught chasing breaking balls and elevated fastballs, he’s
still managed to post impressive power numbers over the past five seasons in
the college and professional ranks. Regardless, he’ll need work on improving
his pitch selection, or he could end up as a 150-plus strikeout player.
Brentz may not round out into a regular .300 hitter or a high-OBP guy, but he
has 20-to-25 home run potential. On defense, he has a plus arm and the skills
to profile as a slightly above-average right fielder at the major league
level.
Projection: No. 3 or No. 4 outfielder
Ceiling: Everyday right fielder, No. 5 hitter
Projected 2013 assignment: Pawtucket
5. Bryce Brentz (23)
外野手, AAA Pawtucket
如何獲得: 2010年三明治選秀，簽約金八十八萬九千兩百美元。
2012成績: .290/.349/.465 17 全壘打
球探報告: 良好的運動力以及仍在成長的身體，Brentz雖然在 2010 年剛成為職業
球員時遇到一些困難，但自此後他對揮棒動作作了一些改進並調整自己
的作息。他是一名揮棒積極的強力型打者，俱有成為中心打線的長打能
力。儘管他時常被變化球引誘或是追打高球，他仍然在過去幾年在長打
方面有著結出的表現。但無論如何，他仍然需要改進他的選球，否則他
一年要被三振個 150次以上。Brentz或許不會成為一個三成的打者或是
有很高的上壘率，但他可望每年轟出 20-25發全壘打。守備方面，他有
優秀的傳球臂力以及不錯的守備技巧，可望在大聯盟成為優於平均的右
外野防守者。
預期: 三號或四號外野
最佳情況: 右外野固定先發第五棒
2013預期層級: AAA Pawtucket
6. Garin Cecchini (21)
3B, Greenville
How acquired: Drafted in the 4th round, 2010. $1,310,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: .305/.394/.433 with 4 home runs and 51 stolen bases with
Greenville
Scouting Report: A tall, athletic third baseman with strong all-around tools,
Cecchini has a sweet swing with outstanding bat speed. He shows a strong
ability to hit the ball to all fields with gap power and improving plate
discipline. His areas of development include improving his approach with
breaking balls and maintaining balance at the plate. While his present power
is below-average, he has decent power potential, and could round out into a
20 home run hitter. He has a great work ethic and excellent instincts in all
phases of the game, which come from being the son of the head coach of Barbe
High School, a baseball factory in Louisiana. And despite not having blazing
speed, Cecchini is also an outstanding base runner, having led the system in
stolen bases in 2012. On defense, he made ample strides in 2012, but he’ll
need to continue to work on his reactions and footwork to complement his
strengths, which include a soft glove, a plus arm, and the willingness to
make proper adjustments.
Projection: Second division starter
Ceiling: All-Star third baseman
Projected 2013 assignment: Salem
6. Garin Cecchini (21)
三壘手, Low-A Greenville
如何獲得: 2010年選秀第四輪，簽約金一百三十一萬美金。
2012成績: .305/.394/.433 4 全壘打 51 盜壘
球探報告: 高大且運動力強，各方面的身體素質都不錯。Cecchini有一個良好的揮
棒動作以及傑出的揮棒速度。他展現了將球打到各個方向的良好能力，
同時擁有 gap power以及持續進步的選球。他需要改進的方面包括對變
化球的應對以及保持在打擊區的平衡。雖然他目前的長打力低於平均，
但是他有不錯的長打潛力可開發，最終可能成為一個年產 20 發全壘打
的打者。他的學習態度很棒而且對球賽的各方面都展現了非常好的球感
，這有一部份可能是因為他是 Louisana 州棒球名校 Barbe高中總教練
的兒子。儘管沒有驚人的速度，Cecchini他是一名傑出的跑壘者，在 2012
年成為整個紅襪系統的盜壘王。在防守方面，他在 2012 有顯著的進步
，但他仍然需要改進他的反應跟腳步來搭配他已經擁有個良好接捕技巧
，強勁的臂力跟不斷改進的決心。
預期: 普通先發
最佳情況: 全明星三壘手
2013預期層級: High-A Salem
7. Blake Swihart (20)
C, Greenville
How acquired: Drafted in the 1st round, 2011. $2,500,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: .262/.307/.395 with 7 home runs with Greenville
Scouting Report: Swihart is an athletic, switch-hitting catcher with a fluid
swing from both sides of the plate. While he didn’t post dominant stats in
2012, scouts were still very impressed with his skill set and potential. He
profiles as an above-average contact hitter with plus bat speed and explosive
hands. He’s still young, and needs work on his plate approach and pitch
recognition. While he’s a bit undersized for a catcher and shows
below-average present power, Swihart has solid-to-average home-run power
potential. On defense, he’s fluid and agile, and has excellent reflexes, a
plus arm, and a smooth release. However, it’s unclear whether Swihart has
the frame to endure the rigors of catching every day. That being said, he
should have the athleticism and the bat to move to second base or third base
if necessary.
Projection: Very wide range -- for now, let’s say a second-division regular
Ceiling: All-Star catcher
Projected 2013 assignment: Salem
7. Blake Swihart (20)
捕手, Low-A Greenville
如何獲得: 2011年選秀第一輪，簽約金二百五十萬美金。
2012成績: .262/.307/.395 7 全壘打
球探報告: Swihart 是一名運動力良好的左右開弓捕手，在兩邊打擊區都有流暢的
揮棒。儘管他在 2012 的成績並不突出，球探們仍然對於他的技巧跟潛
力印象深刻。他被認為是一名具備有傑出揮棒速度跟強韌手腕的安打型
打者。他還很年輕，並且需要對他的打擊策略跟球路辨識下一番苦工。
儘管作為補手他的身材略嫌矮小而且目前他的長打力低於平均，他有很
好的長打潛力待發掘。在防守方面，他身手靈活並且有非常棒的反應，
還有傑出的傳球臂力以及漂亮的傳球動作。然而，他的身材是否可以長
期擔任捕手仍有些許疑慮。如果不行，他的運動力跟打擊能力可望讓他
順利的轉往二壘或三壘發展。
預期: 目前下判斷仍太早
最佳情況: 明星級捕手
2013預期層級: High-A Salem
8. Henry Owens (20)
LHP, Greenville
How acquired: Drafted in the supplemental 1st round, 2011. $1,550,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: 12-5, 4.87 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 130 strikeouts, 47 walks in 101.7
innings with Greenville
Scouting Report: Owens is a tall, lanky lefty who has a lot of room to fill
out and add strength. He has a smooth an easy delivery and a mature demeanor
on the hill. His fastball presently sits in the 89-93-mph range with decent
movement, and tops out in the mid-90s. He should be able to add sitting
velocity if he fills out. He currently throws his fastball with below-average
command. Owens’ best secondary pitch is an excellent mid-70s deep breaking
curveball, which he can also loop in the mid-60s to keep hitters off balance.
The left-hander also mixes in a below-average low-80s changeup with subpar
command. Overall, Owens has a very high ceiling, but he’ll need to put in a
lot of work to reach it, including adding strength, stamina, improving
command, and refining his changeup.
Projection: No. 4 or No. 5 starter
Ceiling: No. 2 starter
Projected 2013 assignment: Salem
8. Henry Owens (20)
左投手, Low-A Greenville
如何獲得: 2011年第一輪三明治選秀，簽約金一百五十五萬美金。
2012成績: 12-5, 4.87 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 130 三振, 47 保送 101.7局
球探報告: Owens 是一個高瘦的左投，擁有很大的進步空間。他的投球動作輕鬆且
流暢，並且在投手丘上表現很成熟。他的快速球目前在 89-93 MPH並且
有不錯的偉勁，需要時可催到 Mid-90s。隨著他繼續發育並增壯，他的
球速應該還會再進步。目前他對快速球的控制仍低於平均水準。Owens
的最佳變化球是 mid-70s的大曲球，他需要時也可把速度降到 mid-60s
以迷惑打者。他還有一顆低於平均且控制得不好的變速球，速度在 low-80s
。整體而言，Owens 擁有非常高的潛力，但他還需要非常多的努力來將
之轉化為實力。他需要加強力量，耐力，控球並且鍛練他的變速球。
預期: 四號或五號先發
最佳情況: 二號先發
2013預期層級:Salem
9. Jose Iglesias (22)
SS, Pawtucket
How acquired: Signed as an international free agent out of Cuba in September
2009. $6,000,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: .266/.318/.306 with 1 home run, 12 stolen bases for Pawtucket
Scouting Report: Iglesias has elite defensive skills highlighted by extremely
fluid hands and a soft glove. He also shows excellent instincts and
anticipation, resulting in well-above-average range. He gets to ground balls
in the hole that most major-league shortstops would not have the range to
field. With his plus, accurate arm, Iglesias is adept at throwing on the move
and has outstanding body control, resulting in a lot of spectacular plays. He
’s a future perennial Gold Glove shortstop that grades as an "80"
defensively. On offense, he projects as a No. 9 hitter, with the potential to
develop into a No. 2 hitter in his peak years. While he has plus bat speed, a
smooth swing, quick wrists, and made positive advancements in 2012, he’s
still an impatient and overly aggressive hitter, and he’s been overmatched
in irregular time with the major league club in 2012. He also has minimal
power projection, but could evolve into a doubles hitter at Fenway as he
matures. He’s still just 22, but Iglesias is looking a lot more like Rey
Ordonez than Omar Vizquel at this point.
Projection: Second-division shortstop, No. 9 hitter
Ceiling: Occasional All-Star (primarily due to defense), average contact
hitter
Projected 2013 assignment: On the bubble between Boston and Pawtucket
9. Jose Iglesias (22)
游擊手, AAA Pawtucket
如何獲得: 2009年在古巴以自由球員身分簽約，簽約金六百萬美金。
2012成績: .266/.318/.306 1全壘打 12盜壘
球探報告: Iglesias擁有非常罕見的頂尖防守技巧，尤其是超級順暢的接捕動作。
他還有頂尖的第一步判斷跟站位預測，這始得他的非常廣大的守備範圍
。他可以將大多數大聯盟游擊手都無能為力的滾地球守下來。他的傳球
又快又準，並且因為他傑出的協調性，他可以在行進間傳出許多好球，
因此製造了許多精彩美技守備。他被認為是未來遊擊手金手套的固定人
選。擁有極為罕見 "80分" 守備評價。打擊方面，他被認為是一個第九
棒，在巔峰期可以擔任第二棒。雖然他有不錯的揮棒速度，順暢的揮棒
動作，靈活的手腕並且在 2012 年有所進步，他然後是一名非常沒有耐
性的打者，並且因此在大聯盟經常性的被投手戲耍。他的長打力也非常
弱，但最終可望在芬威球場製造一些二壘安打。他仍然只有 22 歲，但
Iglesias目前看起來更像 Rey Ordonez而非 Omar Vizquel 。
預期: 次級游擊手，第九棒。
最佳情況: 因為守備偶而入選明星賽，平均的安打型打者。
2013預期層級: 在AAA 跟大聯盟間來回。
10. Drake Britton (23)
LHP, Portland
How acquired: Drafted in the 23rd round, 2007. $700,000 bonus.
2012 Stats: 7-12, 4.45 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 118 strikeouts, 57 walks in 129.1
innings with Portland and Salem
Scouting Report: After an atrocious season with Salem in 2011, Britton
bounced back nicely in 2012, putting himself back in the conversation as a
potential impact arm at the major league level. His mechanics and delivery
are modeled closely after Jon Lester, but he can tend to lose his release
point on occasion, resulting in inconsistent command. Britton’s four-seam
fastball sits in the 92-94-mph range and can get up to the 95-96-mph range in
shorter stints. He also has a mid-70s curveball that has shown flashes of
being a plus pitch, but not on any sort of consistent basis. He’s also
working on developing his slider and changeup, both of which are works in
progress. Britton has shown a tendency to get rattled on the mound too easily
-- letting bad results snowball into worse -- but he demonstrated a lot of
improvement in that area in 2012. Ultimately, he profiles best as a
late-inning reliever, particularly if he can continue to show the improved
mound presence he displayed in the second half.
Projection: 7th-inning reliever
Ceiling: No. 5 starter
Projected 2013 assignment: On the bubble between Portland and Pawtucket
10. Drake Britton (23)
左投手, AA Portland
如何獲得: 2007年第23輪選秀，簽約金七十萬美金。
2012成績: 7-12, 4.45 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 118三振, 57 保送 129.1局
球探報告: 經過在 Salem慘烈的 2011 球季後，Britton 在 2012 年的表現大幅反
彈。這讓他重返眾人的討論中。他的投球機制跟投球動作都以 Jon Lester
為藍本，但他的放球點相當不穩，這使得他的控球時好時壞。Britton
的四縫線快速球球速在 92-94 MPH並且短局數時可達 95-96 MPH。他還
有一顆 mid-70s的曲球，狀態好時是優秀的球路，但是相當不穩定。他
還有練習變速球跟滑球，兩種球路都還沒練成。Britton 相當容易陷入
慌亂，使得情況一發不可收拾，不過在 2012 他在這方面已經有長足的
進步。目前看來，他會成為一名強力中繼，特別是如果他可以繼續他目
前進步的勢頭的話。
預期: 第七局中繼
最佳情況: 五號先發
2013預期層級: 在 AA 跟AAA 之間來回。
