最言简意赅的叙述大概就属这个： https://twitter.com/IanCundall/status/355888043552550912 Matt Thornton is a solid return for Brandon Jacobs. Jacobs has some tools especially raw power, but poor hit tool and LF only profile. 用Jacobs换到Matt Thornton算很不错，Jacobs有一些tools─尤其是力量─但是打击能力 不佳，而且只能防守左外野。 -- 以下引用Sickels和Speier的文章 http://t.co/I0gCA96Gie Sickels The Chicago White Sox traded veteran pitcher Matt Thornton to the Boston Red Sox Friday evening, receiving outfield prospect Brandon Jacobs in return. Here's the scoop on the newest member of the White Sox farm system. 红袜失去了Brandon Jacobs─Jacobs是怎样的人物？ Brandon Jacobs, OF: Jacobs was drafted by the Red Sox in the 10th round in 2009, from high school in Lilburn, Georgia. He was committed to football at Auburn but Boston changed his mind with $750,000, which would change a lot of minds. He hit .242/.308/.417 in 64 games in the New York-Penn League in 2010, then broke out (we thought) with a strong '11 season, hitting .303/.376/.505 with 17 homers and 30 steals for Low-A Greenville in the Sally League. 2009年第十轮的高中生，原本要去打美足但是因为$750,000的签约金改变心意。2010年在 短期A的64场比赛.242/.308/.417，然後在Greenville开窍(当时我们这麽认为)，打出优 质成绩─.303/.376/.505、17轰、30盗。 Jacobs looked like one of the best prospects in the system heading into 2012, but his season was rather disappointing: .252/.322/.410 with 13 homers, 39 walks, and 128 strikeouts in 437 at-bats. 2013 hasn't been much different: .244/.334/.440 with 11 homers, 33 walks, and 88 strikeouts in 81 games, 291 at-bats for Salem, followed by a 2-for-6 showing in two games after a promotion to Double-A Portland. 2012年之前，Jacobs俨然是红袜农场中的顶级新秀之一，但是结果却令人失望：437 AB .252/.322/.410、13 HR、39 BB、128 K，2013年也没差到哪去，在Salem的81场比赛 (291 AB).244/.334/.440、11 HR、33 BB、88 SO，在AA的短暂时光2-6。 A right-handed hitter and thrower, Jacobs is listed at 6-1, 225, born December 8, 1990. He's a fine athlete with plenty of tools, including above average speed and raw power. He has spent most of his career in left field with adequate defensive results; he can play center or right field in a pinch, but his weakish arm fits best in left. This puts more pressure on his bat. 1990年出生、6'1"、225磅、右投右打的Jacobs是个不错的运动员，拥有不少tools，主要 是高於平均的跑步速度和未琢磨的力量。他生涯中几乎都站左外野，防守表现还可以，中 右外野则是能在更换防守阵容时去守一下─因为他的传球能力不佳，所以最佳位置就是左 外野。 所以压力就转到了他的打击表现上。 Alas, aside from the Greenville run, Jacobs has yet to live up to his full physical potential. He's had significant problems making contact against High-A pitching, limiting his batting average and on-base percentage. He'll make an effort to work counts and will draw some walks, but his strikeout rate remains stubbornly higher than one per game and he seems to have trouble reading breaking pitches. Obviously this will be an even bigger problem at higher levels, but at age 22, Jacobs still has time to improve. 除了Greenville的那段时期之外，他的成绩并没有完全显现出他的体能潜力。他面对A+球 种时无法好好的contact，所以打击率和上垒率都不好看。虽然他努力玩球数、选保送， 但是他的三振率高的吓人(远超过每场1K)，Jacobs似乎在变化球种辨识上有问题─这个缺 点在高阶联盟会成为更大的问题(不过Jacobs只有22岁，还有时间修正)。 The White Sox have a liking for toolsy outfielders, and he certainly fits that mold. Jacobs is a lottery ticket, but Thornton is a 36-year-old reliever with slipping skills. Picking up a Grade C prospect with enough physical potential to improve is a good move for Chicago. From Boston's point of view, getting some bullpen help now is more important than keeping a stagnating Grade C/C+ prospect who may, or may not, help two or three years in the future. The deal makes sense for both teams. 白袜想要toolsy的外野手─Jacobs就是。Jacobs就是个乐透彩，Thornton是个36岁、衰退 中的牛棚投手。对白袜来说捡一个有体能潜力的C级新秀是步很棒的棋；而就红袜的视角 来看，现在找人救火远比留住一个卡关、两三年後不知道会不会上来贡献的C/C+新秀来的 重要多了。 因此就两边来看都很合理。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZJTI03xoJ5M 影片 -- http://t.co/9nmdHlHmdU Alex Speier (WEEI) 节录一部分 Chicago had long been interested in Jacobs, introducing his name into talks with the Red Sox about potential deals involving starting pitchers (Gavin Floyd, John Danks) during the 2011-12 offseason — and for obvious reasons. 白袜对Jacobs垂涎很久了，以前在Gavin Floyd、John Danks的交易案的讨论中都会出现 。原因很简单： Jacobs possesses a tremendous combination of speed and power that is rarely seen. 稀有的腿炮组合。 Jacobs, in short, has all the talent in the world — one Sox official noted this spring that, were one to line up Jacobs next to Jackie Bradley Jr., the tools comparison would tilt drastically towards Jacobs — but given the fact that his gifts haven’t translated to performance except in one spectacular year (2011 in Single-A Greenville), he represents a lottery ticket. There is jackpot potential, but the likelihood of hitting that number is in considerable question based on his career trajectory to date. 有球团人士在春天拿Jacobs和JBJ做比较，Jacobs的tool几乎比JBJ好，但是除了 Greenville时期之外，Jacobs无法成功的把他的天赋转化为表现。 Jacobs是张乐透彩，中奖就赚翻，不过就过往历史来看，能不能打出来是值得质疑的。 -- https://twitter.com/alexspeier/status/355886153695637506 除非他又在波特兰爆走，不然不可能加进40人名单保护(规则五选秀)。 -- ＊Athletic frame. ＊High baseball IQ. Xander ＊Smooth, fluid swing. Bogaerts ＊Elite batspeed. #01 ＊Strong and explosive hands. ＊Above-average-to-better power ceiling, potential 30 home run bat. --
