Power-hungry Cubs draft their very own Prince Fielder 强打饥渴的小熊挑了他们自己的小王子 By 'Duk/6月8日下午12:30 After years of battling a beefy, power-hitting first baseman from Milwaukee, the Chicago Cubs may finally be agreeing with that old adage: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. 在小熊与密尔瓦基一垒强打胖胖的战争多年之後，他们终於同意那个古谚： 打不赢，就投靠！ It's a natural thing to say after the Cubs drafted high school slugger Dan Vogelbach in Tuesday's second round with the 68th overall pick. The Ft. Myers native stands only 5-foot-11 and weighs 240 pounds — hey, that's down from a reported 280 just a few months ago — but he can also smack the heck out of a baseball. With his short but big presence and powerful left-handed swing, Vogelbach has been called "the white Prince Fielder(notes)" as a homage to the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman. 我们自然会这麽说，因为小熊在周二的第二轮68顺位选走高校重炮手Dan Vogelbach。 这位在Ft. Myers出生的重炮手，尽管身高只有5尺11寸，体重高达240磅( 嘿！这还是 几个月前从280 磅减下来的)，但他还是能够用棒子震惊球界。虽然他短，但精采表现 和爆发力十足的左手挥击让Vogelbach被誉为“白色Prince Fielder”，就像是那位在 密尔瓦基的一垒强打胖胖。 Vogelbach may not have a famous lineage like Fielder — well, unless his father is secretly Greg Luzinski — but he does sport a nice high school resume. He just helped lead Bishop Verot to a state championship, hitting .457 with 19 homers and 54 RBIs along the way. Last winter, he hit a record 508-foot home run (watch it below) and won the prestigious Power Showcase at Phoenix's Chase Field. He and teammate/best friend Hudson Boyd (a big power pitcher drafted by the Minnesota Twins with the 55th pick) are currently committed to play at the University of Florida, though neither has ruled out signing with their teams. Vogelbach也许不像Fielder拥有那麽出名的家族背景(好吧！除非他的秘密老爸是 Greg Luzinski)，但他在高中履历展现出漂亮的成绩。他用打击率0.457、19发全 垒打、54分打点，带领母校Bishop Verot拿到州冠军。 去年冬天他还创下508尺的全垒打新纪录(以下观看)，在 Phoenix's Chase Field 赢得有名的Power Showcase荣耀。麻吉队友 Hudson Boyd(双城在55顺位挑走的超 强力投手)和他目前是坚定的想去佛罗里达大学打球，然而也不排除他们会和各自 球队签约的可能性。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulw6sJqW03A&feature=player_embedded#at=399 If Vogelbach does opt to sign with the Cubs, at least he'd have the luxury of Fielder blazing a path and already proving that players with a big body type can play too. That was something he didn't necessarily have in Florida's high school ranks. "When you see Daniel coming off the bus, a lot of teams may laugh," Bishop Verot coach Tom LoSauro told the Ft. Myers News-Press. "But after they've seen him play his game and single-handedly beat them up, they'll bow to him when he gets back on the bus." 假如Vogelbach真决定要和小熊签约，起码他会拥有像Fielder在开创道路时的尊荣 礼遇，而且还证明胖胖类型的球员也很能打。在佛州高校球员评价里，他不一定拥 有这些东西。 Bishop Verot高中教练Tom LoSauro对Ft. Myers News-Press这麽提到：『当第一眼 看到 Daniel从巴士下车时，许多球队都会嘲笑他，但当他们看到他打球时，而且单 枪匹马的打爆他们，他们会在他回巴士时向他鞠躬致敬。』 Then again, with some blogs already referencing Chicago's deep-dish pizza and the McDonald's that stands across the street from Wrigley Field, there may still be a lot of doubters for Vogelbach to convince: "I don't think (my weight) is an issue," Vogelbach told the News-Press. "Losing weight has helped me get to balls I couldn't get to before and get to pitches I couldn't get to before." Presumably it will also help him run even faster than this: 另外，有些部落格已经提到这位小胖王子可能来到Wrigley Field，也就是芝加哥厚披萨 和满街可见的麦当劳发源故乡，还是有许多人对Vogelbach抱着怀疑的态度： Vogelbach接受News-Press访问时这麽说到：『我不认为体重是个问题，减肥的帮助已 经让我抓到以前我抓不到的球，让我打到以前我打不到的球。』 我们可以推测减肥的帮助确实会让他跑的比以下这段影片还快： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulw6sJqW03A&feature=player_embedded#at=69 While we're still a long way from ever seeing Vogelbach man first base at Wrigley Field — he still has to sign, work his way through the minor leagues, etc. — it does raise a question about the Cubs for the here and now. Does this selection mean they definitely won't be making a play on Fielder or Albert Pujols(notes) when they become free agents this next offseason? 虽然我们还有很长时间才能看到 Vogelbach的人在Wrigley Field守着一垒(他还是 得签约，透过他想要的方式进入小联盟...等等)，此时此刻它的确挑起有关小熊的 一个老问题： 这个选择是否意味着，他们肯定不会对今年休季期间成为自由球员Fielder或者 Albert Pujols示爱？ 来源：http://tinyurl.com/3v5k8yl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 注：1.Greg Luzinski的照片-http://tinyurl.com/3e345ws 2.其他Blog的介绍-http://tinyurl.com/67ptlpd
