……Give me the big bat, especially a switch-hitting catcher with a rocket arm . Oh, and if it is all about not wanting to deal with Scott Boras and saving money, then there were still plenty of other choices out there, including Jason Heyward, a 6-4, 220-pound, power-hitting outfielder with a mature approach at the plate despite not turning 18 until August. I like his ceiling and apparently so do the Atlanta Braves.- Posted by Rich, 6/10/07, 7:45 a.m. PT 给我大棒子，特别是拥有火箭般手臂的左右开弓捕手。喔，如果是为了不想要跟Scott Boras打交道藉此省钱，那麽在那边依旧还是有不少的选择，包括了Jason Heyward、一 个六尺四寸高、两百二十磅重的强打外野手，即便直到八月前还未满十八岁，在打击区 却有着成熟的技能。我喜欢他的极限，而很明显地亚特兰大勇士也喜欢。 Most teams are known for preferring specific types of players in the draft; the Oakland Athletics favor college players, some teams like a good mix of college and prep players, while teams such as the Atlanta Braves traditionally prefer to nab high school players. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to see that the Braves took only three prep players with their first 15 picks (13 rounds). 大部分的球队以在选秀当中偏好特定类型的球员着称；奥克兰运动家喜爱大学球员，有 些球队喜欢在大学以及高中球员之间取得良好平衡，至於像是亚特兰大勇士之类的球队 传统上偏好去争夺高中球员。因此对於勇士今年在前十五顺位(前十三轮)的选秀当中只 选进了三个高中球员一事，有点令人惊讶。 There could be a number of reasons for this. Perhaps the Braves felt their system is beginning to thin out so they wanted some players that could move quickly, or perhaps they simply took the best players available with each pick and it is simply a coincidence. Regardless, the prep players that they took are intriguing and offer plenty of upside. 对此可能有一些原因，也许勇士觉得他们的系统开始弱化，因此他们需要一些能够快速 升迁的球员，或着也许他们仅仅在每一个顺位当中挑选所能得到的最佳球员，因此这仅 仅是个巧合。无论如何，他们所挑选的高中球员是引起他人注意的，同时也提供了不少 的进步。 With their first pick (14th overall), the Braves grabbed Georgia high school outfielder Jason Heyward, who simply oozes tools and is (obviously) a local boy. Baseball America stated in a recent scouting report that Heyward has more potential than almost any player in the draft, aside from a healthy Andrew Brackman. With raw plus-plus power, Heyward could be challenging another Georgia high schooler - Jeff Francoeur - for playing time in four to five years. 在他们的第一顺位(全部球队的第十四顺位)，勇士选进了乔治亚当地高中的外野手Jason Heyward，完全地展现了天份，同时(很明显地)是个在地的男孩。Baseball Amreica在最 近的球探报告当中表示，Heyward比起选秀当中的任何一位球员，天份都要来的高，伴随 在健康的Andrew Brackman之旁。有着＋＋的raw power，Heyward能够挑战另一位乔治亚 州当地的高中球员－Jeff Francoeur－四到五年後的上场时间。 Iowa high school infielder Jon Gilmore was the Braves' second choice with the 33rd pick in the supplemental round. Gilmore struggled through injuries this season, but was excellent on the showcase circuit last summer. He was expected to last until the second or third round but by popping him early, Atlanta will probably keep him away from Wichita State. One knock on Gilmore is that he spends all his energies on hitting and neglects his defense. 爱荷华州高中内野手Jon Gilmore是勇士的第二位选秀，在三明治选秀当中所取得的第三 十三顺位球员。Gilmore今年球季与伤痛奋斗着，但在去年夏天举行的秀场当中相当地杰 出。他被预估直到第二或是第三轮才会被选中，但由於毫无预警地被选上，亚特兰大或 许会令他放弃威奇塔州立大学。不幸的是Gilmore几乎花费他全部的精力在打击方面，忽 略了他的防守。 The Braves third prep pick was California two-way player Freddie Freeman, who is relatively inexperienced on the mound but throws 90-93 mph with a solid slider. I'm not 100 percent sure if Atlanta plans to have him pitch or play first base. My guess is that they plan to first try him as a hitter, as he is a 6-5, left-handed batter with plus power potential. If all else fails, it is easy to convert a player back to a pitcher, rather than the other way around (unless your name is Rick Ankiel). Freeman is a Cal State Fullerton recruit. - Posted by Marc Hulet, 6/10/07, 4:05 p.m. ET 勇士选进的第三位高中球员是加州的两栖球员Freddie Freeman、在投手丘上的经验相当 地生嫩，却有着90-93mph的速球、伴随着可靠的滑球。我并不百分之百肯定亚特兰大计 画要让他担任投手或是一垒手。我的猜测是，他们会试着以打者的身分将他摆在一垒， 由於他是个六尺五寸、有着＋长打潜力的左打者。如果其它计画都失败的话，比起其他 方式，让一位球员转职回投手是很容易的(除非你的名字是Rick Ankiel)。Freeman是加 州大学富尔顿分校的新鲜人。 14. Atlanta Braves Jason Heyward, OF, Henry County High School (GA) Height/Weight: 6-4, 220 | DOB: 8/9/89 Heyward has tremendous plus-plus, left-handed power and also has the potential to hit for a high average. As a result, he was never expected to make it out of the first 10 or 14 picks. Heyward is an average fielder who plays center field in high school but will likely move to either left or right field in pro ball. Some scouts say he can be too patient at the plate at times, but he possesses solid pitch recognition. He has committed to UCLA but is expected to display his excellent baseball instincts in pro ball instead.-Posted by Marc Hulet Heyward有着惊人的＋＋左打力量，同时也有潜力去追求高打击率。结果就是，他从未被 预估掉出前十或十四顺位之外。Heyward是个平均水准的守备员，在高中时期担任中外野 手，但进入职业後可能被移到左外野或是右外野去。有些球探表示他有些时候在打击区 过於有耐心，但他拥有着稳定的辨识球路能力。他已经在UCLA就读，但被预估会取而带 之地在职业棒球界展现他杰出的棒球天份。 Nice pick. The Braves sure love prospects from Georgia.- Posted by Rich 选的好，勇士确实喜欢来自乔治亚州的新秀。 33. Atlanta Braves (from Baltimore for Danys Baez) Jon Gilmore, 3B, City High School (IA) Height/Weight: 6-3, 190 | DOB: 8/23/88 Gilmore is still in the projection stages. He has projectable power and has recently shown the ability to make adjustments with breaking pitches. Gilmore lacks quickness and range at third base. He also does not run well. Gilmore puts more effort into his hitting than his defense. Regardless, his raw power and the huge strides he has made in his hitting abilities are intriguing. Gilmore is committed to Wichita State University and is the brother-in-law of Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist.-Posted by Marc Hulet Gilmore依旧处在评估阶段，他有着可预期的长打能力，近来也展现了能够对於变化球做 调整的能力。Gilmore在三垒方面缺乏灵敏度以及守备范围，同时他的跑垒也不好。 比起防守，Gilmore在他的打击方面下了较大的工夫。无论如何，他的raw power以及他 在打击能力方面所做的进展，是很引人注意的。Gilmore已经在威奇塔州立大学就读，同 时也是坦帕湾Ben Zobrist的小叔。 ============================================================================= 节录有提到勇士的部份，看看吧 :Q -- W L ERA G SV SVO IP H R ER HR HBP BB SO WHIP AVG K/9 H/9 1 3 2.13 47 2 --- 38.0 22 10 9 4 3 22 42 1.16 .172 9.95 5.21 4 5 2.49 74 38 45 72.1 47 24 20 5 1 37 104 1.16 .180 12.94 5.85 1 2 2.89 59 24 27 53.0 42 25 17 5 2 48 77 1.70 .210 13.08 7.13 2 2 3.09 30 19 23 32.0 25 13 11 2 2 16 36 1.28 .216 10.13 7.03 Atlanta Braves 49 John Rocker --
