Background: Shortly after Cosart starred in the 2011 Futures Game—he missed the 2010 contest with elbow tenderness—the Astros acquired him from the Phillies in the Hunter Pence deal. Promoted to Corpus Christi after the trade, he allowed one run or less in five of his seven Double-A starts. Scouting Report: Some scouts describe Cosart's delivery as max effort, while Houston prefers to call it energetic. All sides agree his quick arm and athleticism produce electric stuff. "You see this little guy out there and then—wham!—the ball explodes out of his hand," said one scout. Cosart's fastball sits around 95 mph and touches 98, and his curveball has excellent shape and upper-70s power when it's on. He also flashes a plus changeup that he throws with good arm speed. Cosart needs to add some strength and control his delivery in order to throw more strikes, which helps explain why someone with dominant stuff averaged a modest 6.3 strikeouts per nine innings in 2011. Some scouts question his durability. The Future: Cosart has the stuff to be a No. 1 starter, though he may lack the command, consistency and durability to be a true ace. Ticketed for Double-A to start 2012, he could be a closer in the Brad Lidge mold if starting doesn't work out. -- 翻译: Bud Norris 小联盟评价几乎一样 爆力 控球问题 续航力问题 长出来前段轮值 长不出来就当Lidge --
