[外電] Yankees Prospects: The 2017 All Home G
Yankees Prospects: The 2017 All Home Grown Yankees
http://bronxbaseballdaily.com/2014/05/the-2017-all-home-grown-yankees/
作者自己也自嘲說這預測不太可能實現
不過可以看看各位置的新秀
去年選進來的球員如 Eric Jagielo, Aaron Judge 等等都打的不錯
只是前幾年亮眼的新秀:
Tyler Austin, Slade Heathcott, Mason Williams,
反而都卡關了
Last year I made a list of the “2016 All Home Grown Yankees,” and I had a
lot of fun doing it. It’s going to be a yearly thing now. Just as a
refresher, this is my prediction of the theoretical team the Yankees would
put on the field if the front office decided to get rid of all free agents
signings and become a low spending, small market team.
Of course this would never happen, and if it did I myself would curse
management and question my faith in the Yankees Universe. That said, this is
a fun exercise and it really makes you think about which prospects have a
legitimate shot to make it to the Bronx someday. Without further ado, here’s
the list.
Don’t forget, this is just for fun. The only thing I am 100% certain of is
that the below scenario is guaranteed not to ever play out.
First Base: Greg Bird – The guy can hit. He hits for power and he gets on
base. He is their best first base prospect at this point in time, and if he
continues his current level of production at the higher levels they will be
forced to make room for him. He’s big, he’s strong, and he has the tools to
become an all-star if everything works out.
Predicted Major League Line: .278/.365/.434/.999 with 21 HR and 96 RBI
Backup: Kyle Roller, Matt Snyder, Mike Ford
Second Base: Robert Refsnyder – He doesn’t hit for great power, and he doesn
’t have great speed. On the other hand, he is a great athlete and makes
spectacular plays at second. If he can polish up his act in the infield, he
has all the tools to be a guy who sticks at the position in the majors. He
plays the game right. His one plus plus skill is his leadership. He is the
type of guy who leads both by example and vocally. He can definitely hit for
average, and if he develops some power he could be an all-star type himself.
Predicted Major League Line: .299/.345/.387/.713 with 15 SB and 9 HR
Backup: Jose Pirela, Angelo Gumbs
Short Stop: Abiatal Avelino – This is a stretch. He would have to knock off
two levels in one year at some point, but it’s possible with his talent. He
has the speed and talent, and his baserunning and defense are off the charts.
If he can stay healthy and move quickly, he could be the heir to the Jeter
throne. Cito Culver is off to a slow start, but I wouldn’t rule him out just
yet either. If Avelino doesn’t cut it for one reason or another, he or Tyler
Wade could be the guy who makes the leap.
Predicted Major League Line: .313/.375/.405/.780 with 45 SB and 5 HR
Backup: Cito Culver, Tyler Wade
Third Base: Eric Jagielo – He’s already in Tampa and he’s excelling so
far, leading the league in homeruns. He’s going to get every opportunity to
play in New York, and I’m predicting that he will take advantage. He’s got
the power, and he can hit. The only real question is whether or not he can
stick at third base. With enough reps, I think he will. He also has the tools
to be an all-star, it’s just a matter of whether or not he fulfils his
potential.
Predicted Major League Line: .267/.350/.455/.805 with 26 HR.
Backup: Dante Bichette Jr., Rob Segedin
Catcher: Gary Sanchez – He’s the top prospect on the farm, so if anyone has
a chance to make the team in 2017, it will be him. He hits for power and his
defense is greatly improved. With the paucity of catchers around the league
who can hit, he’ll be an instant success if he just continues his current
level of success at each level.
Predicted Major League Line: .245/.330/.470/.810 with 24 HR
Backup: J.R. Murphy, Peter O’Brien
Left Field: Ramon Flores – He is the only guy who seems to be able to remain
healthy. He seems to be developing some power finally to go along with his
superior patience at the plate. With Ichiro and Soriano gone after this year,
there will be playing time to be had in the majors. Right now he appears to
be the closest one to being ready to step in. Slade Heathcott will certainly
have something to say about who starts here, but unless he starts avoiding
the DL soon, his developmental clock will continue to tick. Heathcott has the
higher upside, but Flores has the higher floor.
Predicted Major League Line: .261/.351/.401/.781 with 13 HR and 10 SB
Backup: Slade Heathcott, Tyler Austin, Jake Cave, Ben Gamel
Center Field: Brett Gardner – The Yankees wisely re-signed him for four
years, which covers the 2017 season. It is doubtful any of their prospects
will be better than him by then. We all know what Brett can do, and it will
be nice to have him around.
Predicted Major League Line: .287/.350/.400/.750 with 33 SB
Backup: Mason Williams, Slade Heathcott, Jake Cave
Right Field: Aaron Judge – The big man is proving to be a different player
than most thought. He is hitting for average and getting on base. He’s doing
all of the things the Yankees want him to do. The power will come with time.
He is stud, and he clearly has all-star potential if all things break right
for him. Peter O’Brien will also likely get time at this position.
Predicted Major League Line: .270/.330/.490/.820 with 33 HR
Backup: Peter O’Brien, Slade Heathcott, Tyler Austin
DH: Peter O’Brien – Peter O’Brien can play several positions in the field
serviceably, making him an ideal DH who can play the field when someone needs
a break. He already has 14 homeruns on the young season, and if he can hit
for that kind of power in the majors he will be a big hit with the Yankees.
The strikeouts need to come down, but a 1.1 OPS will quiet a lot of the
critics if he can do it in the majors.
Major League Line: .281/.350/.505/.855 with 37 HR
Backup: Kyle Roller, Rob Segedin, Matt Snyder, Mike Ford
Starting Rotation
Masahiro Tanaka: He’s not exactly home grown, but he can loosely be
considered in the conversation for the Yankees, since he has never played for
any other team. By this time he will likely be the ace of the staff. He
arguably already is. He’s the best Yankee import from Japan since Hideki
Matsui.
ERA: 3.1, 200+ IP with 200+ K
Manny Banuelos: He’s the Mexican gangster. From 2015 on he will be a staple
in the rotation. He has the stuff for sure. If he can harness it and be the
player he’s capable of being, he is going to win a lot of games in the Bronx.
ERA: 3.50, 170 IP with 180 K
Bryan Mitchell: He will still have his up and down games, but overall he’s
an excellent third starter. He has the stuff to shut down even the best teams
on his good days, but will always be capable of having a stinker. Overall he
will be the third starter and bring success to the team.
ERA: 4.0, 190 IP with 205 K
Shane Greene: He’s already knocking on the door to the majors, he just needs
more consistency. Give him some time and he can and will become a fixture in
this rotation. Once he learned to control his plus stuff, it was only a
matter of time before he made it to the majors as a starter.
ERA 3.4, 205 IP with 185 K
Caleb Smith: He has completely dominated in Low-A this year, as he should. It
will be a test for him as he moves up through the minors, but I believe he
will pass the test. His stuff is really good and he has excellent velocity.
If he can control and harness it, he’s going to be tough to hit, even for a
major league team.
ERA 3.3, 200+ IP, with 200+ K
Knocking on the door: Ian Clarkin, Dan Camarena, and Luis Severino will be in
the upper minors. Both have the potential to be in the starting rotation, and
could easily supplant one of the above if anything goes wrong. David Phelps,
Adam Warren, Nik Turley, and Chase Whitley are also candidates. Don’t count
out Brady Lail or Rookie Davis either.
Closer: Dellin Betances
Setup: Adam Warren
7th inning guy: Jose Ramirez
Others: Mark Montgomery, Rafael DePaula, Nick Goody, Preston Claiborne, David
Phelps, Branden Pinder, Danny Burawa, Fred Davis, James Pazos, Jairo Heredia,
Tyler Webb, Nick Rumbelow.
