来源：talkingchop At the major league level… … possibly the best trading chip the Braves have is shortstop-turned-outfielder-turned-second-baseman Kelly Johnson. His power and plate discipline are a rare find in a second baseman and the Braves have a perfectly good replacement in Martin Prado, who spent the last two months showing the team that he can play everyday. While the Braves would lose power from the lineup if Johnson were traded, the second base spot is not traditionally a spot you look to produce power for your club. 勇士可能最好的交易筹码是游击转到外野再转到二垒的KJ。他的炮瓦跟选球在二垒手中是 罕见的，勇士也有一个相当好的替代人选Prado(之前有人说他练练可以30轰.....)，在过 去两个月向球团展示他有能力每天先发。然而若是交易掉KJ勇士打线将失去些炮瓦，但你 不能过於习惯二垒的位置可以为球队带来火力的制造。 If the Braves could trade the middling power of Johnson for a rotation arm or power bat at a corner outfield spot, then we should expect a similar (maybe not as great, but similar) return that we got last year for Edgar Renteria. This situation is actually a lot like last year. Renteria was an established starter, as I think Kelly Johnson is now (although, not yet the All-Star Renteria was), and just like we had a major league ready shortstop waiting in the wings in the form of Yunel Escobar, we also have a major league ready second baseman in Martin Prado waiting to step in. 如果勇士愿交易掉中等炮瓦的KJ换取先发轮值的补强或一个角落外野大棒子，那我们应该 可以期待一个类似的回报就像去年交易租借男一样。这状况实际上有点像去年，租借男已 是个稳健的先发，如同我认为KJ现在亦是（即便，尚未像租借男一样是全明星），并且就 像去年我们已经有个准备好的游击手古巴男等在那边一样，我们也有个已经准备好的二垒 手Prado等着要大展身手。 If no trade is made -- and they may opt to trade neither player, wanting to keep Prado as a backup to Chipper -- then we will have some excellent depth at second. It may also present an interesting scenario if Johnson struggles in spring training and Prado does not. It would be a gut check to take the starting job away from Johnson and give it to Prado. This leads me to believe even stronger that the team will opt to trade from strength and look to shop Johnson. Omar Infante also provides depth in the infield and insurance against injury. 如果交易没发生，那可能选择不会交易任何一个，而要Prado去当便宜的替补。然後我们 将会有一些杰出的深度在二垒的位置。它可能也呈现一个有趣的局面，如果春训时KJ挣扎 而Prado没有的话，KJ将可能被抽离掉二垒先发由Prado 取代。这将使我更强烈相信球团 将选择透过交易补强而把KJ卖掉。Infante也可提供深度并且是伤兵出现时的保险。 The future Braves second baseman… … In a system lean with second base prospects, 2007 seventh-round draftee Travis Jones stands out as the best. He doesn’t get as much attention as guys like Heyward, Freeman, Gilmore, or even Hicks or Flowers, but Jones has a couple of things strongly in his favor; (1) there is really no one else in the high or mid minors that has as much up-side at second base as he does, and (2) it can’t hurt to have a last name like Jones in the Braves system. 在系统里二垒新秀呈现滑落状态时，2007年第七轮选中的Travis Jones是当中的翘楚。他 没有像Heyward等人一样吸引众人的目光，但他有着一些强力的优势：1.在二垒位置没有 其他人在中高阶小联盟比他有更多潜力。2.在勇士系统姓氏叫Jones的永远不会带给球队 伤害。 Travis Jones combines good and improving defense with both speed and power on the bases. He may have gotten too power-hungry at the Beach this year, and while he hit 16 homeruns, his strikeouts jumped up greatly to 107, and it seemed to affect his plate discipline as his average dropped to .248. Jones needs to cut down his swing next year and get back to being more of a contact hitter. If he can do that and continue to improve the rest of his game, he will be a useful option at the major league level one day. 除了拥有速度及炮瓦的底子外，Travis Jones具备良好及进步中的防守。本季在beach他 可能过於追求长打，当他轰出16发时，他的三振数也大量升到107次，看起来似乎影响了 他的选球也让他打击率掉到0.248。Jones下季需要克制他的挥棒慾望，回归成以击球点为 主的打者。如果他能做到且持续在其他方面进步，有朝一日他将会是大联盟很好用的球员 。 More for future consideration… 2. Robert Brooks – He was the best hitter on the Braves Gulf Coast League team this year, and could be another JuCo surprise. He showed a great all-around game in Rookie ball, hitting for good gap power and completing 12 of 13 steal attempts. He should be ready for a full season club next year as no one at Rome really impressed. 他是今年GCL球队最好的打者，且可能是另一个来自於两年制大学的惊奇。在新秀层级他 展现优异全方位的技术，拥有把球击到外野间的长打力以及13次尝试盗垒成功12次。如果 下季Rome没啥让人印象深刻的人，他应该会准备有一个完整的球季。 3. Diory Hernandez – He may be more suited to be listed in the “utility player” category, but for our purposes he slots at second. There isn’t too much to get terribly excited about with Diory, but again he could find a major league future as a utility player. 他可能更适合列在工具人这个分类，但基於我们的讨论把他定位在二垒。Diory不会有太 多的让人振奋之处，但他以工具人的身份应该能在大联盟找到未来。 4. J.C. Holt – He is right on the edge between showing everyday promise and nothing more than a utility guy. His speed makes him valuable. He didn’t really show too much improvement this year, repeating both of the same leagues he played at last year, so he should be moved down a bit. 他正处於先发球员跟板凳工具人的中间地带，他的速度使他很有价值，但实际上今年没有 太大的进步。重复地待在跟去年一样的两个联盟打球，所以他的身价已经有点滑落。 5. Cole Miles – Another small, scrappy second baseman. Like Holt, Miles has good speed, but lacks a little in the plate discipline category. He still has to prove he’s more than just a utility guy, but he’s much younger than Holt and still has time. 另一个小型，好战的二垒手，像Holt一样，Miles有很好的速度，但有点缺乏选球能力。 他仍必须证明他不只是个工具人而已，因为他比Holt年轻因此仍有时间。 Others: Elys Blanco (another speedy second baseman who also showed good plate discipline in the DSL) --
