Nats take chance on Giolito with 16th pick by Mark Zuckerman Monday, June 4, 2012 来源： http://ppt.cc/DB3A The Nationals showed a willingness last summer to take a chance on draft picks with injury question marks, and they did it again tonight, selecting California high-school right-hander Lucas Giolito with the 16th overall pick in the MLB draft. 去年夏天国民队把选秀权用在伤兵上，今晚他们再次这麽做了。国民在这次大联盟选秀 的第16顺位把高校右投Lucas Giolito选了进来。 Giolito, from Harvard-Westlake High School in Santa Monica, was thought of as a possible No. 1 overall choice at the start of the amateur season but was plagued with elbow soreness, turning many teams off. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound right-hander still went 9-1 with a 1.00 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 70 1/3 innings this season, with a fastball that regularly sits in the mid-90s. Giolito就读於Harvard-Westlake高中，过去在新人球季一度被视为可能的状元人选， 但是由於他右手的肘部爆弹，让许多队伍为止却步。身高六尺三寸，体重210磅， 这个球季拿下9胜1负，主投70又1/3局，拿下精美的1.00ERA、78K，速球平均95mph左右。 (按：另一篇报导指出最高有100mph实力) The Nationals have been willing to take flyers on players with medical questions. Last year they selected third baseman Anthony Rendon and left-hander Matt Purke; each dealt with shoulder issues during their final season at college. 国民队真的蛮挺这些有伤痛问题的球员的。去年他们选进来的三垒手Anthony Rendon， 还有左投Matt Purke，都是在大学赛季的最後一年出现肩部不适的状况。 Giolito, 17, has committed to UCLA, so the Nationals will need to convince him to sign, and they'll have to do it under MLB's new rules that set a cap for draft signing bonuses. The Nationals are allowed to spend a total of $4.4 million on their top 10 picks; if they go over by even a small amount, they'll be subject to taxes and the potential loss of future picks. 17岁的Giolito已经拿到UCLA的入学许可，这表示国民队要花一些"代价"来说服他加入， 也就是在新的大联盟限制下给予他一份签约金。国民队在前10名选入的球员身上，总共 可以用的银弹上限是440万美元；即使超过一点点，他们也要因此被课税，而且可能会影 响到未来的选秀机会。 The Nationals also have a limited window to sign Giolito, with MLB's deadline moved up to July 13 from August 15. Giolito is only the third high school pitcher drafted by the Nationals in the first round since the franchise arrived in Washington. The only others: right-hander Colton Willems (2006) and left-hander Josh Smoker (2007). 同时，国民队虽然选到了Giolito，但也要在大联盟给的期限前完成签约。 (该期限已从8/15提前到7/13) Giolito是国民队第三位从第一轮就选进来的高中投手。另外两位是 右投Colton Willems(2006)，左投Josh Smoker(2007)。 心得： Rizzo真是状元控! --
