07. Michael Taylor, of Born: March 26, 1991. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 205. Drafted: HS—Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 2009 (6th round). Signed by: Tony Arango. Background: Drafted as a shortstop, Taylor took to center field in a hurry and made himself into a legitimate prospect based primarily on his spectacular defense. After struggling offensively in high Class A in 2012, he repeated the level in 2013 and made major gains, hitting for more power and making better use of his speed by stealing 51 bases in 58 tries. 背景： 以SS被选走的Taylor很快就转换到CF，并用惊人的防守能力在新秀圈 获得瞩目。2012年在A+打击不振，2013年旧地重游则获益良多。炮瓦 发挥得更好也充分展现速度，58次尝试中成功偷走51个垒包。 Scouting Report: The wiry, quick-twitch Taylor earns frequent physical comparisons to Mike Cameron and Adam Jones, and one scout said his ability to go back on balls in center field evokes Jim Edmonds. He’s a plus runner with plus-plus range thanks to his outstanding reads and jumps, and his plus arm is accurate. He made huge strides with his baserunning, demonstrating good leads, reads and jumps. Taylor also has above-average raw power, but scouts have reservations about whether he’ll ever hit enough to unlock it. He has a choppy, disjointed swing and a tendency to get very aggressive with his stride, though he made progress toning it down in instructional league. He still struggles mightily against offspeed stuff, but he can punish fastballs in or over the plate. 球探报告： 身形削瘦，挥棒迅速的Taylor其身体能力常被拿来与Mike Cameron及 Adam Jones类比，某位球探则说Taylor在中外野回身追球的能力让他 想起 Jim Edmonds。他是个很棒的跑者，而靠着优越的判断力与起步 使他的防守范围更为杰出。Taylor也有超越於水准之上的原生炮瓦， 球探们对於他是否能好好运用则语带保留。他的出棒杂乱也有过於积 极的倾向，但在指导联盟已有所改进。遇上慢速变化球时依旧相当无 力，不过面对快速球不管投在内侧外侧他都能给予重击。 The Future: If Taylor can become even a below-average hitter, his other tools could give him big league value. If he can mature into a fringy or average hitter, he can be an all-star. Next year will be a big test, as he’ll get his first taste of upper-level pitching in Double-A. 未来性： 假设Taylor成为低於平均的打者，其它工具也能提供在大联盟存活的 价值。如果能长成接近或平均左右的打者，他就能进入明星赛。明年 会是个大考验，将首次在2A体验更高阶投手们的招待。 --
