Re: [外電] BA - Orioles Top 10 Prospects
From the BA chat:(Lingo)
David Hernandez
He will certainly be in the 11-15 range when you read the full top 30 in our
Prospect Handbook... overall the feeling I get from those who have seen
Hernandez is that he has a pretty low ceiling and gets his strikeouts more
from deception than overpowering stuff...Most people see him more as a
bullpen guy than a big league starter...
Pedro Beato
...His velocity just wasn't there this season, and no one seems quite sure
why. There were reports of arm trouble, but he was checked out a couple of
times and no one ever found any physical problems. The Orioles worked on his
delivery in instructional league and apparently his stuff was back to where
it was when he was drafted.
Chorye Spoone
...shoulder injuries for pitchers are always scary, especially a guy with a
power arm like his. Troy Patton of course faces the same concern, but reports
on him out of instructional league were good and he has more of a track
record and less reliance on power...
Bobby Bundy/Jesse Beal
Quite a few questions about the O's 2008 draft class, and those are two of
the more interesting arms. Still too early to get a real good read on either
of those guys. Bundy didn't get much work in the summer as he came back from
a knee injury, but he's an eighth-round pick whom the Orioles considered a
top three-round talent...His fastball touches 94 mph. Beal is a high school
kid who fell to the 14th round because of signability and a commitment to
Maryland. He's 6-foot-7 and earned a Chris Volstad comp, except a little more
physical. He's up to 92 now but obviously has plenty of room for projection...
Shortstops in the organization
The bad news is that I don't really see a bona fide shorstop between
Hernandez and Miclat; Blake Davis feels more like a utility guy.
Tony Butler
...feels more like a depth player who could eventually contribute in the
bullpen than a frontline prospect to me...
Zach Britton
...probably No. 11 on the O's list...usually pitches in the 88-90 mph range
and touches 91, and he has taken a leap by learning a slider in instructional
league a year ago...
Tyler Henson
...great athlete who's probably not suited to third base. There's some
thought of moving him back to shortstop, or maybe even center field, but his
bat has more value if he stays in the infield.
Matt Angle
...little guy who's a plus runner and knows how to play. He's a smart hitter,
good bunter and good basestealer, and a good center fielder as well. The
question will be if he's good enough to be a big league center fielder, or
will produce enough with the bat if he moves over to left.
Why Mikolio at No. 10?
...he could end up being a dynamic back of the bullpen guy. The other
pitchers in the running are mostly lower-ceiling guys or guys like Spoone
with major questions...
LJ Hoes/Xavier Avery
Avery probably has a higher ceiling, while Hoes is a little more advanced as
a hitter at this point. Avery is a great athlete with great hands, and the
Orioles think he can be a .300 hitter with power down the road. Hoes already
swings the bat well and shows a knack for using the whole field, so his big
challenge will be learning to play second base...
另外
Alex (Baltimore): Jim I just read the Orioles top 10 list and I
noticed Troy Patton was 8th on the list. Why so low?
Jim Callis: He did miss the entire 2008 season with a labrum tear.
Before that, he was as much about savvy as stuff, and we'll have to
see how the stuff bounces back.
