一样来自scout.com
我忘记抓日期下来 = =
这篇应该是今年四月左右写的...
所以对CarGo充满希望
不过在签下Byrnes
又提早把Upton拉上来的情况下
我看他真的要变Cargo了 = =
Name: Carlos Gonzalez
Position: RF
DOB: 10/17/1985
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185
Bats/Throws: L/L
In most organizations there is a clear cut #1. A player who stands out as a
supreme talent, the one 'sure thing' in the organization. Generally that
player is untouchable in trade talks, there is a spot reserved for him on the
pro team, even if he is two or three years away. It's a little different in
the talent rich Diamondbacks organization. Last year Carlos Gonzalez topped
our FutureBacks 50 ranking of the top 50 prospects in the D'Backs
organization despite competition from Carlos Gonzalez, Chris Young, Stephen
Drew and Miguel Montero. All four of those prospects are likely to be
starting for the D'Backs on Opening Day. This year Gonzalez faces
competition from Justin Upton, Micah Owings, and Greg Smith; not to mention
Montero and Young, who still qualify for the list.
在多数的农场系统中,仅有一位头号新秀存在。一位拥有极高天赋,整个系统中的顶级球
员。通常这位球员不可能出现在交易谈判中,上面也为他准备好一个位置等他来,即便他
还要两三年才会成熟。但在才华洋溢的响尾蛇系统则不太一样,去年虽有Young、Montero
和Drew的竞争,Carlos Gonzalez还是脱颖而出成为scout.com的头号新秀。以上四位球员
都可能是响尾蛇07年的开幕战先发。今年(07年)Gonzalez面对Upton、Owings和Smith的竞
争,还有依然具新秀身分的Montero跟Young。
The question, of course, is why?
那麽,揪~竟是什麽样的原因,让他又成为第一?
Because as good as all those prospects are, as nearly assured as their
futures might be, their ceiling doesn't reach quite as high as the Venezuelan
born Gonzalez. Upton has an incredibly combination of tools, but he's never
had to fully harness them. Young is faster, and might even have more power,
but Gonzalez is four years younger and is developing faster. Owings and
Smith are incredible pitchers who might end up being 'front of the rotation'
guys, but Gonzalez is a game changer, the type of player who hits #3 in the
lineup, the type of player who teams plan around. The type of player who
teams decide 'will not beat them,' and then he does anyway.
因为以上那些人虽是好的新秀,但随着我们越来越能预见他们的未来,几可确定委内瑞拉
出身的Gonzalez拥有比他们更高的极限。Upton拥有不可思议的体能条件,但他无法完全施
展。Young的速度很快,也或许有更好的power,但Gonzalez比他年轻四岁,成长的也比他
快。Owings跟Smith是很好的投手,可能会成为轮值前段的先发,但Gonzalez拥有逆转一击
的能力,是个典型的三棒打者,也是球队计画重要的一环。不管球队做了什麽样的决断,
都不会影响到他的未来。(今年的30M永远的改变了这句话...)
Batting and Power: Carlos Gonzalez has a nice inside out swing. He drives
the ball the other way, which has at times hurt his power numbers. Worse yet
when he realized that other players were putting up the bigger home run
totals he fell into the trap of trying to jerk the ball. In homer happy Hi-A
Lancaster, where Gonzalez spent the majority of his 2006 he went through
slumps where he found himself trying to pull the ball. The coaches noticed
too, and talked to Gonzalez about making adjustments. He did, and it
impressed the scouts.
打击与爆发力:Carlos Gonzalez拥有很好的「因塞澳」打击。他把球打向反方向,因而使
得长打数据减产。更糟的是,当他看到别人猛干大支时,自己也掉进用力打机会大的迷思
当中。在随便打就有的A+ Lancaster,2006年Gonzalez花了大半时间走出低潮。他发现自
己拼命尝试拉球。教练也发现了这点,因此建议Gonzalez做些调整。他做到了,这让球探
们眼睛为之一亮。
"You would literally see the change happen over night," one scout said, "he
would ground out to second three times and the coaches would talk to him
about using the whole field, and then next night he'd go three for four with
two doubles the other way."
一位球探说:「你可以很明显的看出两天的变化。他可能在某天打出三次二垒鸟滚,然後
教练把他找来,跟他说尽量把球打往任何地方。隔天他就打了4支3,两支二垒打。」
Not that he's a finished product.
这不是因为他是个完成品。
"The only thing I didn't like was that three weeks later he'd do the same
thing for a couple games. He's so young you kind of expect it, but what I
want to see is him put together three solid months without doing that. When
he does that, watch out, he's going to be pretty unstoppable."
「但有一点我不太喜欢的是,三个礼拜後他又犯了同样错误。以他的年纪,有这样的情形
不太意外,但我希望他至少能维持三个月。如果他能做到,当心!他将势不可挡。」
'Unstoppable' is not a word scouts like to throw around, but with Gonzalez it
could be the one that is most fitting.
「势不可挡」一词并不是球探们随便就可说出,但没有一个词更能形容目前的Gonzalez。
Baserunning and Speed: Gonzalez has what we like to refer to as 'sneaky
speed.' He's certainly not blazing, but he does have plenty of wheels for
his natural position, right field and he did swipe 16 bags last season. His
baserunning tends to be somewhat timid, and occasionally he missed
opportunities to take that extra base. Still one wonders if that just isn't
conditioning that comes from hitting 3rd in the order most of the time. Why
try to take third when you've got two home run hitters coming up from behind.
He has a lot to learn, but really its a matter of him getting comfortable.
跑垒与速度:Gonzalez拥有「偷跑的速度」。他的确不是超快,但对右外野手来说是绰绰
有余,去年偷了16个垒包。他的跑垒很保守,有时会错失长打的机会,但相对来说,这或
许跟他多数时间打三棒有很大的关系。试想,你後面两棒都有一棒出墙的实力,干嘛还要
拼三垒?他还有很多要学,但这也关系到他能否顺利成长。
Defense: Carlos Gonzalez has the best arm of any outfielder in the entire
Diamondbacks system. That's high praise, especially considering he held that
title when Carlos Quentin was still considered a prospect.
防守:Gonzalez拥有响尾蛇农场外野手中最好的臂力。那是很不简单的,尤其是Quentin
还没脱离新秀资格。
"His arm is kind of rediculous," one rival scout said of Gonzalez in '06,
"he's incredibly accurate no matter whether he's got his feet set or not."
But when he sets his feet watch out.
一位他队的球探06年时说:「他的臂力很可怕。不管他有没有站稳都传得很准,但当他站
稳时,跑垒就要谨慎点了。」
"When he sets his feet nobody wants to run on them, even when they should,
because if he really gets behind one, you're gone. It's such an effortless
motion too, I'm a little surprised the D'Backs never considered putting him
on the mound. You see the way Ichiro throws, where he seems to explode,
Gonzalez is completely different. If you watch him playing long toss before
a game, and then watch him make a throw to keep the winning run from scoring
in the bottom of the ninth, the motion and the effort looks exactly the same."
「当他站稳传球时,即使应该要拼的球,没人敢硬拼,因为一个不小心,你就挂了。传球
的动作也毫不费力,我有点讶异响尾蛇没把他放到投手丘试试。你看Ichiro传球,好像是
整个人快爆开的样子,Gonzalez则完全不同。如果看他赛前练习长传,再看九局下半时的
长传阻杀,你会觉得那根本就没差多少。」
Even more impressive is that this offseason Gonzalez started toying with
centerfield during his stint in the Venezuelan league.
还有一点值得注意的是,去年休兵期间,Gonzalez在委内瑞拉冬联开始尝试守中外野。
"He's seen the effect that kind of thing had on Quentin," a scout who watched
Gonzalez in the Venezuelan league says, referring to Carlos Quentin's short
lived Triple-A stint in center, "he realizes even if he's never going to play
center on a consistent basis doing it every once in awhile will make him a
better overall outfielder."
根据Qurntin的经验,一位在委内瑞拉冬联看球的球探说:「他似乎是被Quetin影响了。他
知道即使他永远不会去当正职的中外野手,偶尔守一下会使他的外野防守更精进。」
Projection: The wealth of Diamondbacks outfield prospects means that the
D'Backs have no reason to rush Gonzalez, but Director of Player Development
AJ Hinch is also quick to point out they won't hold him back either.
"We have a luxury because guys like Chris Young and Carlos Quentin are ready
right now, but when Carlos is ready, he'll be in the big leagues. He's a
player you find a place to play."
未来预测:响尾蛇在外野部门的人才充足,意味着他们不需要急着拉Gonzalez上,但农场
总监A.J. Hinch也很快指出不会让他等太久。「我们很奢侈,因为像Young跟Quentin都已
经准备好了,但当Carlos就绪时,他一定会在大联盟打。他是一个你该准备位置给他的球
员。」
Statements like that are fueling speculation that unless Conor Jackson starts
showing more traditional first-base power this season he might be moved in
order to create another spot for one of the talented outfielders in the
D'Backs system that include Gonzalez, Cyle Hankerd, Scott Hairston and Chris
Carter. There is no way Gonzalez is moving to the infield, but he very well
might move Quentin to left field by 2008. In an order that should feature a
ton of talented power hitters Gonzalez almost certainly will settle into the
#3 spot in the order, likely ahead of Young and Quentin.
状况越来越像是大家所猜测的,除非Conor Jackson展现传统一垒手该有的长打能力,否则
他也许会被弄走,清位置给充满才华的响尾蛇外野新秀们,包括Gonzalez、Cyle Henkard
、Scott Hairston跟Chris Carter。当然不可能把Gonzalez移到内野,但他可能会把
Quentin挤到左外野。也许将会演变成以Gonzalez为三棒的豪华外野中心打线,Young跟
Quentin在他的後面。
Major League Clone: Gary Sheffield
ETA: Gonzalez will start '07 in Double-A Mobile, and a good year might get
him a cup of coffee in September. In '08 he'll challenge (especially with
the D'Backs signing Eric Byrnes to just a one year deal) for a Major League
roster spot, and by 2009 you could see an outfield that featured Gonzalez in
right, Young in center, and Quentin in left.
大联盟初阵:07年从AA Mobile出发,表现好也许九月会上大联盟喝咖啡。08年挑战大联盟
名单,09年先发右外野。
==
结论:签Byrnes来,到底是为了什麽,挡住两个人以上...。
