※ 引述《Raikknen (Kimi)》之铭言： : Prospect Retro: Travis Hafner : Travis Hafner was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 31st round of the 1996 : draft, out of Cowley County Community College in Kansas. He was a : draft-and-follow guy and didn't sign until the following spring. Assigned to : the Gulf Coast League Rangers, he did OK in his pro debut, hitting : .286/.374/.439 with 14 doubles in 55 games. But it was rookie ball, and while : his performance was good, it wasn't spectacular. He'd rate as a Grade C : prospect at that point, with intriguing power potential but needing to prove he : could carry it forward against more advanced pitching. Travis Hafner在1996年被游骑兵第31轮挑中，他没有马上签约(不受重视?)， 直到隔年的春训才签定合约，在漩涡海岸联盟的处女秀表现的不错，在55场比赛中 打出.286/.374/.439有14支2垒打，这只是新人联盟的球赛，他表现不错， 但并不特别突出，他的未来性被评分数是C，有令人感兴趣的力量， 但是需要证明他能够面对更高阶的投手仍然能保有它。 : Hafner moved up to Savannah in the Sally League in 1998, where he hit just .237 : in 123 games. He did knock 16 homers and draw 68 walks, but he struck out 139 : times in 405 at-bats. He was originally a third baseman, but the Rangers : switched him to first base during the year due to lack of range. At this point, : his best attributes were power and walk rate, but his strikeout rate was very : high and his batting average was low. Grade C. Hafner在1998年前往沙凡那港市的突击联盟，在那里123场比赛他只缴出了.231的打击率 他轰了16发HR，选了68个保送，但他在405个打数中也被三振了139次，他原本是个三垒手 但游骑兵将他改成手一垒，因为他守三垒的守备范围太小，那时候他最大的贡献是长打 跟保送，但是他的三振率实在太高，打击率又低，评分是 C : Savannah was Hafner's destination once again in 1999. He did much better this : time, hitting .292/.387/.546, with 28 homers, 30 doubles,111 RBI, and 67 walks. : However, he was repeating the league, and he fanned 151 times in 480 at-bats. : His power was well-respected but there was still skepticism among scouts about : how much contact he'd make against quality breaking balls and changeups. I gave : him a Grade C in the 2000 book, noting that he had potential but that it was : unclear if he would do as well at higher levels. Hafner在1999年仍只留在沙凡那港市，但他的表现好多了，.292/.387/.546，有28支HR 30支2垒安打，111分打点，67次保送，然而他还是有相同的问题480个打数三振151次， 他的力量备受期待，但是球探也怀疑他能否打的到更高品质的变化球跟变速球，我给他 的分数是 C，评价是他有浅力但是不清楚在更高等级的联盟能否保有相同的演出。 : The Rangers promoted Hafner to the Florida State League in 2000, where he hit : .346/.447/.580 for Charlotte, with 34 doubles, 22 homers, 109 RBI, 67 walks, : and 86 strikeouts. Stunning performance, and note the gigantic drop in his : strikeout rate. I raised his grade to C+ in the '01 book, which seems much : too low in retrospect. I was concerned that it was his third season in Class A, : and at age 23 he wasn't young for a three-peat at that level. Nowadays I would : probably have gone up to Grade B given the dramatic drop in his strikeouts. : A wrist injury cost Hafner about 40% of the 2001 season, but he did well for : Double-A Tulsa when healthy, hitting .282/.396/.545 with 20 homers in 323 : at-bats. He drew 59 walks against 82 strikeouts. I raised him to Grade B-. At : this point, the doubts now were about defense, and finding a position as the : Rangers had a logjam at his position. I also continued to hear doubts about : his ability against higher-level breaking balls and changeups. 2000年时游骑兵把Hafner升到佛罗里达联盟，在夏洛特队他打出.346/.447/.580，34支2b 22支HR，109打点，67保送，还有86次三振，漂亮的表现，在降低三振率上有巨大的突破 我把他的分数升到C+，现在回头看起来我给的分数很低，但是我考虑到他连续3年打1A， 而且他已经23岁了，他不年轻了，而且连续待在那个等级3年，不然凭他大幅降低三振率 我应该会给他B。 一个手腕关节的的受伤花去了他2001球季40%的时间，但是当他健康时他在2A表现的很好 .282/.396/.545有20支全垒打，在323个打数中，他有59个保送还有82个三振， 我再把他的分数升到B-，在那时候，对他的怀疑变成防守部分， 游骑兵已经有好手在他的防守位置上，必须在帮他找个位置，我也持续听到有人怀疑 他面对高阶的变化球跟变速球的能力。 : Hafner was healthy in 2002 and had a massive season in Triple-A, hitting : .342/.463/.559 for Oklahoma with 21 homers, 79 walks, and 76 strikeouts in : 401 at-bats. His plate discipline was excellent, and he'd shown that he could : make contact against top-level minor league breaking stuff. I was finally : convinced, raising his grade to a strong A- and writing that "I'm as positive : as positive can be that he will hit, and hit well, in the major leagues." He : was traded to the Indians that December (for Einar Diaz and Ryan Drese) to help : replace Jim Thome in the Cleveland lineup. Hafner在2002年完全健康，有一个扎扎实实的3A球季， 在奥克拉荷马队打出了.342/.463/.559，有21支全垒打，79个保送，76个三振， 他的弱点被矫正过来了，他已经证明他可以打到最顶级小联盟中的变化球， 我最後终於认定了，把他的分数提高到 A- 并写下"我越来越确信他在大联盟可以打，可以打的很棒。" 在那年的12月他被交易到印地安人队，换来了Einar Diaz跟Ryan Drese，取代Jim Thome 离去後的打线 : Hafner scuffled a bit in the majors in '03, hitting .254/.327/.485 in 91 games. : ..he showed good power but it took him some time to adjust to major league : conditions. He broke out big in '04 however, and has been one of the top : sluggers in the American League ever since. Hafner在03年打的跌跌撞撞的，缴出了.254/.327/.485在91场比赛中， 他表现出了不错的力量，不过他也花了一些时间去适应大联盟的状况， 然後04年的表现有更进一步的突破，一直到现在他已经成美联最顶尖的长打者之一。 : His early minor league career was marked by good power production and a high : walk rate, but also a very high strikeout rate and doubts from scouts about : his ability to adjust at higher levels. Through hard work, he improved his : ability to read breaking balls, cutting his strikeout rate despite moving up : and hitting against better competition. He hit over .300 in '04 and '05, and : will possibly do so again in '06....considering that he hit just .237 against : Sally League competition in 1998, I think you have to be very happy with the : way he's developed his overall offensive game. His current numbers are very : much what you'd expect based on his 2002 MLE at Triple-A Oklahoma, but I think : it clear that Hafner has exceeded even what optimists thought possible back : in '97 and '98. 他的早期小联盟生涯中被贴上了具长打力跟高保送率的标签，但也是一个非常高三振率 被球探怀疑他能否适应高阶联盟，透过努力的锻链，他提升了自己阅读变化球的能力， 尽管面对更强的竞争者，他还是能降低他的三振率，他在04跟05年的打击率皆超过3成 今年也可能再次达成这个目标，想起他98年在突击联盟只有.237的打击率，我认为你 已经很高兴他这一路走来，在攻击上全面的成长，他现在的数字已经远超过在2002年 他还在3A奥克拉荷马队所被预期的，但我认为，无疑的 Hafner 已经超越在'97'98那 些乐观者的估计。 : Similar Players to Travis Hafner 跟Travis Hafner相似的球员有 : Dolph Camilli : Mo Vaughn : Willie Stargell : Fred McGriff : ============================================================= : source:http://www.minorleagueball.com/story/2006/9/4/123435/6023 他应该受到更多的重视的 --
