At the major league level…
… the left-field options are a collection of bad alternatives. There’s no
one on the Braves immediate roster that looks appealing as a typical left
field bat. The position is one on the Braves that should be used for a big
thumper – someone who doesn’t necessarily need to be a good fielder, but
can contribute power in the middle of the batting order and give opposing
pitchers reason to fear our lineup again.
左外野手的人选是一堆坏选择的集合,勇士现有名单中没有一个看起来符合典型左外野手
需求的棒子。这位置勇士应该要以一个大物来顶,不必然需要有好守备,但要能在中心打
线中贡献炮瓦,再次给予对战投手们一个恐惧我们打线的理由。
Last year’s opening day starter in left field, Matt Diaz, is not an everyday
player – he’s a pinch-hitter. He has shown that he may be an effective
platoon player as the right-handed half of the platoon, and maybe that has
some value in the NL East dominated by left-handed starting pitchers, but
platoons are not sustainable as a long-term solution, and Diaz will never be
that fear-inducing hitter.
去年开幕先发左外野是Diaz,不会是一个先发型球员,他是一个代打。他已经展示,他可
能会是个有效率的专职右打者轮替球员,且可能在被左手先发投手主宰的国联东区有些价
值。但轮替球员作为长期答案是不会被接受的,并且Diaz从未是那种能引起对手畏惧的打
者。
Brandon Jones has not given the Braves or their fans too many reasons to
think that he can be a steady producer in the outfield. He may still get a
chance to be a regular, but he will be "option-B" next year if the Braves can
’t sign or trade for a power hitting left-fielder.
BJ尚未给勇士或勇士迷太多理由认为他能够成为一个稳定的外野手贡献者。他可能仍会得
到一个机会去成为先发,他将会是下季勇士的B选择,如果没能签下或交易到一个左外野
大棒子。
The future Braves left fielder…
… The young first round draft pick may have gotten off to a slow start in
2008, but Cody Johnson finished as hot as anyone in the Braves organization.
Johnson’s season at Rome is a tale of two halves; his first half was
entirely disappointing, he hit only .210 with almost 100 strikeouts in 66
games. But in the second half of the season, Johnson smacked 17 homeruns, hit
.296 and controlled his strikeouts (79 in 61 games).
这位年轻第一轮选秀挑中者可能於2008很慢才热机,但Cody Johnson比勇士系统的任何人
都还有个火热的结束。Johnson今年在Rome可分为两半段的故事:第一前半是整个令人失
望,他只打出0.210的打击率且於66场比赛中几乎快被K掉100次。但在第二後半他干出17
发全垒打,有0.296的打击率且把他的三振数控制在61场79次。
The overall jump in strikeouts was the biggest cause for concern for Cody
this year. In 2007 he struck out once every 3.4 at-bats, but in 2008 he
struck out once every 2.6 at-bats. His slugging percentage and on-base
percentage also declined from last year, but most of that can be attributed
to the tough start he had. But what started off as a disappointing season,
turned into a promising season, and one in which we saw one of our most
touted prospects face on-field adversity and overcome it. How he adjusts to
Myrtle Beach next year will tell us a lot about what kind of player he has
become.
三振数整个暴增是本季Cody最大需要关切的议题,在2007他大概每3.4个打数会被K掉一次
,但今年他则是每2.6个打数被K掉一次。他的长打率和上垒率比起去年都衰退了,但主要
都是因为他那艰困的开季。但开季这麽让人失望,转变为结束时这麽让人期待的球季,并
且我们看到一位我们最受到打听的新秀之一面对场上的逆境而去克服它。下季他如何去适
应高阶1A将告诉我们他究竟已变成哪一种的球员。
More for future consideration…
2. Luis Sumoza – Sumo is the prospect we received from Boston in exchange
for Mark Kotsay. He’s a young power prospect that the Braves have had their
eye on for some time. Still only 20, he’s got time to develop. He should be
assigned to the Beach next year as part of the fantastic outfield/DH rotation
of Johnson and Heyward.
Sumo是我们在KOTSAY交易中自波士顿接收的新秀,他是位勇士已经注意有段时间的年轻强
打新秀。仍只有20岁,他有时间去发展。他下季应该要被指派去高阶1A,担任由Heyward
与Johnson组成的梦幻外野与DH轮值部分之一员。
3. Willie Cabrera – There were so many good hitting performances at Myrtle
Beach this year that it’s going to be interesting to see if these guys
continue that good hitting in Mississippi next season. Cabrera is a guy who
came out of nowhere to put up good numbers at high-A. He is a
draft-and-follow guy, and while prospects are supposed to get better, he
seemed to come out of nowhere to have one of the best seasons at the Beach.
If he continues this rate of improvement next year he will emerge as a very
important prospect.
今年在高阶1A有许多人有着好的打击表现,因而看看是否这些家伙能继续在下个球季於2A
持续有好的打击表现,将会是很有趣的。在高阶1A时,Cabrera是自默默无闻却缴出好成
绩的家伙,他是选秀後追踪签约的,且当潜力新秀应该要愈来愈好时,他似乎从默默无闻
中在高阶1A打出一个最佳球季。如果下季他能继续这样进步的幅度他将会被视为一个非常
重要的潜力新秀。
4. Matt Young – He’s really an organizational player, but he’s got a lot
of fire and some useful intangibles like speed and good plate discipline.
他确实是一团队球员,但他已有不错的火力,且也具备像速度及选球眼等一些有用的无形
资产。
Others: Layton Hiller (2008 15th round draft-pick came out of nowhere to
show some good power against left-handers in the GCL; if he can figure out
right-handers he may be an interesting power prospect to watch)
