※ 引述《gonzalez0528 (小斌)》之銘言： : By Matt Eddy : December 5, 2012 例行賽只剩下九場時條子還有著全美聯最好的戰績不幸的是他們接著輸掉了九場中的七場把美西王座拱手讓給綠帽然後在一場定生死的外卡戰遭到淘汰 : With nine games to go in the regular season, the Rangers had the best record : in the American League and looked poised to make a run to their third : straight American League pennant. But when Texas lost seven of its final nine : contests, including five to the hard-charging Athletics, it ceded the AL West : crown to Oakland. : The A's defeated the Rangers 12-5 in the final game of the season, relegating : them to the AL Wild Card Game, which Texas lost at home to the Orioles by a : score of 5-1. 前兩個月打出鬼神般成績的 Hamilton 先是在六到七月間陷入大低潮最後又在球季結束前交出一連串糟糕的表現引來主場球迷無情的噓聲這些噓聲顯示了球迷對於 Hamilton 及這支球隊在過去這三年來的期望有著多大的轉變 : Much like his team, Josh Hamilton faded down the stretch. He seemed destined : for his second AL MVP award in three seasons when he batted .368/.420/.764 : with 21 homers in the first two months, but he did little in June or July and : didn't homer in his final 52 at-bats of the season. : Rangers fans booed Hamilton lustily after he struck out twice and grounded : out weakly, seeing just eight pitches, in the wild-card game defeat. No doubt : they remembered that he dropped a routine flyball in center field the day : before to key an A's rally. The boos were a sign of how much expectations for : him—and the team—have changed during the last three seasons. 條子有辦法從球隊內部來補齊 Hamilton 離開後留下的空位就像過去兩年失去 Cliff Lee 和 C.J. Wilson 的時候一樣今年開始條子的陣容做出重組包括花大錢從日本簽下達爾讓新秀 Robbie Ross 和 Tanner Scheppers 在牛棚開始扮演重要工作 Michael Kirkman 的被打擊率甚至低到只有 .182 : Hamilton will test free-agent waters this offseason, with a cloud of : uncertainty hovering over his potential return. If he departs Texas—as : premier free agents Cliff Lee and C.J. Wilson did following the 2010 and 2011 : seasons—then the Rangers have the talent to replenish from within. : The roster retooling actually began in 2012, when the Rangers spent $111.7 : million ($51.7 million posting fee, $60 million contract) to import Yu : Darvish from Japan. Rookie relievers Robbie Ross and Tanner Scheppers carved : out significant bullpen roles, while second-year lefty Michael Kirkman held : opponents to a .182 average. 在九月條子升上 Jurickson Profar 和 Mike Olt 預告了他們在明年球季可能扮演更重要的角色到目前為止他們沒有獲得太多上場機會而且最主要的位置被明星級的吹哥和貓王擋住 : Texas also gave a preview of coming attractions by promoting shortstop : Jurickson Profar and third baseman Mike Olt from Double-A before the end of : the season. Two of the game's top prospects, neither played much but could : carve out regular big league roles in 2013 despite being blocked by all-stars : Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre at their best positions. 過去三年來條子犧牲了不少有潛力的新秀來補強球隊包括 Chris Davis, Robbie Erlin, Justin Smoak 等等即使如此條子的農場仍然不斷在成長茁壯這是因為條子在每個地方的球探工作都做足功課 : For the third year in a row, the Rangers sacrificed minor league talent : during the season to strengthen the big league team. The most significant : losses came when they surrendered third baseman Christian Villanueva and : righthander Kyle Hendricks to acquire Ryan Dempster from the Cubs at the July : deadline. : In years past, trades for Mike Adams, Cliff Lee and Koji Uehara cost the : Rangers young players like Blake Beavan, Chris Davis, Robbie Erlin, Tommy : Hunter, Justin Smoak and Joe Wieland. That the system continues to thrive : even after the defections testifies to the job Texas does scouting at all : levels, domestic, international and professional. 在拉丁美洲條子就像其他球隊般那麼積極陸續簽下了古巴的 Leonys Martin 多明尼加的 Ronald Guzman 和 Nomar Mazara 和 Jairo Beras : The Rangers continue to be as active in Latin America as any club. One year : after committing $13.4 million in bonuses to sign Cuban outfielder Leonys : Martin and Dominican outfielders Ronald Guzman and Nomar Mazara, Texas agreed : to terms in February with Dominican outfielder Jairo Beras for $4.5 million. : MLB later suspended Beras for one year—though his contract was approved, and : he can be reinstated July 1—when it learned that the outfielder originally : had understated his age. Jurickson Profar 背景: 他是條子再度重視拉丁美洲的成功案例他在業餘時期以投手的位置得到比較多吸引目光條子在簽下他後默許他能擔任游擊手而最後的成果讓雙方都沒有任何一點後悔除了 Mike Trout 沒有任何新秀能交出比他還好的履歷表 : 1.Jurickson Profar, ss : Born: Feb 20, 1993 B-T: B-R Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 165 : Signed: Curacao, '09 Signed by: Mike Daly/Chu Halabi/Jose Felomina : Background: Profar served as the bellwether for the Rangers' : renewed emphasis and success in Latin America. As an amateur in Curacao, he : garnered attention more as a pitcher with low-90s heat and feel for a : breaking ball, starring on a team that won the 2004 Little League World : Series. Texas acquiesced to his desire to play shortstop after signing him : for $1.55 million in 2009, and neither party has any regrets. No prospect : this side of Mike Trout has a better minor league resume than Profar. He : ranked as the top prospect in the short-season Northwest League in his 2010 : pro debut, then for an encore won MVP honors in the low Class A South : Atlantic League in 2011 after posting an .883 OPS at age 18. He earned a : promotion to Double-A Frisco for 2012, skipping over high Class A entirely, : and ranked as not only the Texas League's youngest player (19) but also its : No. 1 prospect (ahead of, among others, BA Minor League Player of the Year : Wil Myers). Profar's body of work in the Futures Game includes a triple : against the Twins' Kyle Gibson in 2011 and a solo homer off the Royals' Jake : Odorizzi in 2012. 球探報告: Profar 或許不是場上最有power 跑最快臂力最強的球員但他有那個天賦成為最棒的球員他在簽約後才開始練左打而現在已經能在本壘板左右兩側都展現出不尋常的揮棒速度他僅有六呎的身高但展現出超過他身材的 power 他在二壘/游擊這個位置上有高於平均的長打能力不過他還需要讓他的揮棒更協調才會有最大產出他訓練有素的擊球方式與辨識好球帶的能力將使得他能在全盛期成為一個穩定的三成打擊率的打者他是守備高於平均的游擊手並有潛力再擴大他的守備範圍他的臂力也高於平均他傳一壘有時會暴傳但這是只是調整傳球力道的事情他懂得怎麼把他穩定的跑壘速度用在壘包間球探們對於 Profar 的心理素質領導技巧抗壓性都有很高評價一個球隊高層表示:"當他的體格更成熟後，他應該能在漫長的球季裡表現得更好" : Scouting Report: To paraphrase one Rangers instructor, Profar may not have : the most power, the most speed or the strongest arm on the field, but : typically he's the best player out there. A natural righthanded hitter, he : learned to switch-hit after signing and now shows uncommon bat speed from : both sides of the plate, lending him more power than his lean 6-foot frame : suggests. Profar surprises some opponents with his pop—which is : above-average for a middle infielder—but he may have to tone down his swing : to maximize his overall production. He takes a disciplined approach to : hitting, with strong knowledge of the strike zone that ought to make him a : consistent .300 hitter in his prime. An above-average defender at shortstop, : Profar has instincts that outstrip his plus range. His hands and arm are : above-average as well. Some of his throws to first base tend to sail when he : gets on the side of the ball, but that's just a matter of adjustment. He has : solid speed and knows how to use it on the bases, stealing 16 bases in 20 : tries in 2012. Observers rave about Profar's mental toughness, leadership : skills and grace under pressure. "He's all about winning and getting better," : one club official said. As his body matures, he ought to hold up better under : the rigors of the long season. 未來性: 當他與條子簽約時他告訴球隊他能在20歲時升上大聯盟他比他的預言早了整整五個月並成為全聯盟第二年輕打出首打席全壘打的球員假如他明年從3A起步也很有可能季中就回到大聯盟他可能會把 Ian Kinsler 擠到外野很少新秀能展現出比 Profar 更高的可能性成為首棒打者與 all-star : The Future: When he signed, Profar told the Rangers he would reach the big : leagues by the time he was 20. He actually completed his journey five months : ahead of schedule last September and became the second-youngest player in : major league history to homer in his first at-bat. He played sporadically : down the stretch but made the Rangers' playoff roster for their wild-card : game against the Orioles. Even if he begins the 2013 season in Triple-A Round : Rock, Profar's talent probably will win out and result in a promotion to : Texas during the season. He likely will move to second base in deference to : Elvis Andrus, pushing Ian Kinsler to the outfield. Few prospects represent a : safer bet to develop into a first-division regular and future all-star than : Profar. Mike Olt 背景: 2010年被條子以第49順位選中即使因傷錯過了半個2011球季他仍然以不到兩年的時間竄起今年八月被 called up 前他在2A交出28轟及.579 SLG 不過左腳腳底的傷勢又讓他錯過大部分九月的時間 : 2. Mike Olt, 3b/1b : Born: Aug 27, 1988 B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 210 : Drafted: Connecticut, 2010 (1st round supplemental). Signed by: Jay Heafner : Background: The 49th overall pick in the 2010 draft, Olt raced to : Texas in little more than two years despite missing half of the 2011 season : after breaking his collarbone in a home-plate collision. He led the Double-A : Texas League with 28 homers and a .579 slugging percentage in 2012 before : being called up in August. Plantar fasciitis in his left foot kept him out of : the lineup for most of September. 球探報告: 不錯的原始 power 和優秀的揮擊方法 Olt隨時都是打擊區上的長打威脅他時常在本壘板上消耗掉投手許多球這使得他的四壞和三振數不斷累積打擊率也維持在.260-.270 投手利用偏高的直球來引誘他取得了很好的成效同時他也在學習去辨識與避免揮擊變化球球探們樂意去欣賞他的防守歸功於他的靈活性與長傳能力他是眾所皆知跑壘速度低於平均的跑者 : Scouting Report: With plus raw power and strong hitting approach, Olt is a : threat to go deep anytime he steps to the plate. He works deep counts and : piles up both walks and strikeouts, so his average will settle in the : .260-.270 range. Pitchers have had success exploiting the length in his swing : by attacking him with high fastballs, and he continues to work to identify : and stay back on breaking balls. Scouts say Olt is a joy to watch : defensively, owing to his agility and ability to make throws from any angle. : He's a well below-average runner. 像 Profar 一樣受惠於他的天賦、工作態度與心理素質他成長地相當快速他在三壘的位置擋著 Adrian Beltre 使得他要移往一壘或左右外野他也許會在明年的開季名單或在3A待上幾個月 : The Future: Like Profar, Olt has advanced rapidly thanks to his tools, work : ethic and mental toughness. He's blocked in Texas by Adrian Beltre, so a : shift to first base or an outfield corner could be in the works. A potential : all-star, he could open 2013 in the big league lineup or get a couple of : months in Triple-A. Martin Perez 背景: 2007年條子從委內瑞拉簽下的球員僅僅18歲他就站上2A 但過去兩季大部分時間都待在3A 繳出平庸的 K/9 (5.4) 和 BB/9 (3.9) 七月底因為球隊有人受傷他升到大聯盟因為控球問題被打的很慘 : 3. Martin Perez, lhp : Born: Apr 4, 1991 B-T: L-L Ht.: 6-0 Wt.: 180 : Signed: Venezuela '07 Signed by: Rafic Saab/Manny Batista/Don Welke : Background: Signed for $580,000, Perez sped to Double-A as an : 18-year-old. His progress stalled in Triple-A the last two seasons, when he : posted a 4.86 ERA over 176 innings with pedestrian strikeout (5.4) and walk : (3.9) rates per nine innings. Called to Texas in late June as an injury : fill-in, he struggled to locate his pitches and got hit hard. 球探報告: 即使他的表現並不耀眼球探還是給予他高於平均的 stuff 以正面評價簡潔且重複性高的投球姿勢乾淨的揮臂動作以及他還相當年輕他的速球位於91-92 mph 最高可以接近 95 80出頭的變速球有時能成為他的第二種球路他的曲球在70~80間時常扮演重要角色 Perez在球數落後時容易被打因為如此條子讓 Perez 練了二縫線速球與滑球作為另外的武器這兩種水平變化的球路給了他機會用很少的球數就製造滾地出局 : Scouting Report: Despite Perez's lackluster results, scouts continue to give : him positive evaluations for his above-average stuff, compact and repeatable : delivery, clean arm action and youth. His fastball sits at 91-92 mph and tops : out near 95, and his low-80s changeup gives him a second plus pitch at times. : His curveball ranges from the low to high 70s and often features depth. Perez : gets hit when he falls behind, so the Rangers introduced a two-seam fastball : and slider to his repertoire. That gave him two weapons with horizontal : action and a chance to induce groundouts early in counts. 未來性: 對 Perez 的期待已經從 ace 降到堅固的中段輪值先發這期待看起來是合理的條子特助 Greg Maddux 在球季間給了他指導包括增加之前提到的兩種球路與對於比賽的規畫他似乎有良好的反應 Perez 可能已經準備好在明年球季接受更重要的工作 : The Future: While expectations for Perez have downshifted from future ace to : solid mid-rotation starter, he's a reasonable bet to get there. He seemed to : respond to a consultation with Rangers special assistant Greg Maddux during : the season, where the two reviewed pitch sequencing and game planning. Perez : could be ready for an expanded role in Texas in 2013. Leonys Martin 背景: 2009年 WBC 古巴的替補外野手 2011年與條子簽下 5年 $15.6M 的大聯盟約今年在3A交出 .359 /.422 / .610 : 4. Leonys Martin, of : Born: Mar 6, 1988 B-T: L-R Ht.: 6-2 Wt.: 190 : Signed: Cuba '11 Signed by: Chu Halabi/Jose Fernandez/Don Welke : Background: A backup to Yoenis Cespedes on Cuba's 2009 World : Baseball Classic squad, Martin defected the following year and signed a : five-year, $15.6 million major league deal in May 2011. Among Triple-A : Pacific Coast League players with at least 250 plate appearances, he ranked : second in hitting (.359) and third in on-base percentage (.422) and slugging : (.610) in 2012. He missed five weeks after tearing a ligament in his left : thumb in May. 球探報告: 條子認為 Martin 有比預期更好的 power 他在打擊練習中可以輕易地打出全壘打條子希望他可以揮的更協調並專注於把球打到牆上他的跑壘速度幫助他跑出更多內野安打藉以提高打擊率並幫助他得到穩定的守備範圍 Martin 有辨識好球帶的能力打出平均水準的打擊率未來可能是個有跑壘威脅的前段棒次並有優秀的防守同時他也有高於平均的臂力 : Scouting Report: The Rangers say Martin has more power than he gets credit : for, and he hits home runs with ease during batting practice. They would like : him to tone down his swing and focus more on lining balls to the gaps, : however, in order to take advantage of his plus speed. That attribute also : boosts his average via bunts and infield hits as well as providing him with : solid range in center field. Martin knows the strike zone and has the bat : path to hit for average, so he profiles as a top-of-the-order threat capable : of providing 20 steals and strong defense. He also has an above-average arm. 即使他在小聯盟打得很好但在大聯盟短暫的出賽表現的相當掙扎他的傷勢與不活躍的表現限制了他的發展機會但至少他會是明年功能性球員的其中一個選項 : The Future: Despite hitting .324/.390/.502 in the high minors, Martin has : struggled during brief stints with the Rangers. His injury and inactivity in : the big leagues cut into his development time in 2012, but at worst he : figures to be a platoon option for Texas in 2013. Justin Grimm 背景: Grimm 在他大學時期極不穩定三個球季中的ERA高達5.80 但他快速地適應了職業棒球他在今年六月第一次在大聯盟先發對太空人拿下勝投 : 5. Justin Grimm, rhp : Born: Aug 16, 1988 B-T: R-R Ht.: 6-3 Wt.: 195 : Drafted: Georgia, 2010 (5th round). Signed by: Ryan Coe : Background: Grimm adapted quickly to the routine of pro ball : following a wildly erratic college career at Georgia, where he ran up a 5.80 : ERA in three seasons. He beat the Astros in his June 16 debut, little more : than a year and a half after making his pro debut in low Class A. 球探報告: Grimm 用他三種球路與控球完全宰制了2A的打者但在3A和大聯盟打者變得更難對付因為他們不去追打他的大曲球他能夠將他 91-94 mph 的速球控制在好球帶兩側這讓他可以取得球數上的領先然後混和搭配曲球、變速球、滑球和切球他的變速球是他職業生涯中最早的武器幫助他對付左打者只讓他們打出 .231的打擊率同時K-BB比率達到4 增加了滑球這項武器後他有辦法增加速差同時讓他的變化球武器成形使他可以更順利將球他控在他想要的位置 : Scouting Report: Grimm decimated Double-A competition with a strong : three-pitch mix and plus control. He found the going tougher in Triple-A and : the big leagues when batters tended not to chase his 12-to-6 curveball. He : pitches at 91-94 mph while commanding his fastball to both sides of the : plate. That helps him work ahead of batters and set up his curve, changeup : and slider/cutter hybrid. His changeup has come the farthest since turning : pro, helping him hold minor league lefties to a .231 average while sporting a : 4-1 K-BB ratio against them in 2012. Adding the slider gives Grimm the : ability to change the speed and shape on his breaking ball, while also : helping him stay in the zone more frequently. 未來性: 他和 Martin Perez 一樣新球季都會有更重要的位置無論是先發或後援工作大部分的球探都把 Grimm 視為有潛力的中段輪值 : The Future: Texas bypassed Martin Perez, who already was on the 40-man : roster, when it called on Grimm in June. Both could earn larger roles with : the Rangers in 2013, whether starting or relieving. Most scouts see Grimm as : a potential mid-rotation starter. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.195.14
