内容大概是请22位GM、管理阶层和球探买未来十年可能贡献最多的年轻投手(26岁以下)
有两个规则:首先是必须至少选两位右手、两位左手
第二是不能选自己球队的投手
Which five starting pitchers, aside from Strasburg, would you buy stock in
today -- for the next 10 years?
We had two stipulations as we composed this field: All these pitchers already
had to be in the big leagues to qualify. And all had to be 26 or younger as
of July 1.
Meanwhile, to make sure our clients had a diversified portfolio, we imposed
two rules on them: They had to vote for at least two right-handers and two
left-handers. And they couldn't vote for any pitchers on their own team
(which made some members of our panel very unhappy).
只贴跟自己球队有关的,Jimenez 获得第三:
3. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez, Rockies (age 26)
OK, here's the man America can't stop talking about, even if half the people
we polled did manage to stop themselves from voting for him. You've got us
how anybody could not vote for a guy with a 0.78 ERA. But as one GM said,
after leaving him off his list: "He's probably not going to throw 100 [miles
per hour] for 10 years -- not that he needs to, to succeed."
Another concern is that Jimenez has had what the same GM called "some odd
injuries," and that
he has thrown more pitches the past two years (4,787)
than any pitcher in his age bracket -- not to mention the third most in any
age bracket. So as much as everyone loves Ubaldo Inc., some members of our
panel were reluctant to buy this stock and hold it for a decade.
重点:Jimenez过去年两年的投球量(4,787)在他的年龄层是最多的,在所有投手里
第三多-->受伤的疑虑造成有些人不愿选择他
But the Ubaldo admirers didn't share any of those reservations. They see a
"well-proportioned, coordinated man" with four unhittable pitches and
"tremendous makeup." And for pure stuff, it doesn't get any more "ridiculous"
than this.
"It's like facing a closer every inning," said one scout. And "you can just
see guys saying, 'How am I supposed to hit this stuff?'" laughed another. So
our clients can pass on this stock if they want to. But here at the Rumblings
brokerage, we're buying -- in volume.
面对Uball就像每局都面对一个终结者 XD
下面还有顶尖对决那场对Jimenez的scout:
First scout on Jimenez: "He finally seems to have figured out the timing and
the tempo of his delivery. So the arm gets up there where it needs to be to
locate the fastball. And he's locating fastballs to both sides, with
movement. Before, he was going to throw a strike with that fastball and see
what happens. Now he's locating with power to both sides, and mixing in that
offspeed stuff. And if he can do that consistently, he's going to make a lot
of hitters look silly."
大意是以前Jimenez只能把速球投进好球带,无法控制在哪里,现在他可以把有球威和尾
劲的速球投到好球带两侧,而且还混有变化球,如果可以持续如此,很多打者会被他愚弄
Second scout on Jimenez: "Some of the stuff he throws up there, you just
shake your head. Like I'm watching him pitch to Andres Torres, and he starts
him off with a comeback sinker at 99 [mph]. Then comes an 89 split that just
bottoms out. Then he goes to the top of the zone at 100, and [Torres] somehow
lays off it. Then he snaps an 84-mile-an-hour downer hook, and it's see you
later. Who does that stuff? That just doesn't happen."
分析那天他对Andres Torres的打席
