另外找到一段Baseball Analysis上的文章（http://baseballanalysts.com），我節錄有 關Thorman的那部分： Stuck in the Mud By Bryan Smith Rarely is a Major League ready prospect stuck in Triple-A an indictment of a franchise. Too often a good player finds himself blocked, with a good player or a big contract in his way. While these players become cornerstones to AAA franchises and minor league icons, we are left wondering about what they could do in the right situation. 很難因為一個球團把已經準備好了的新秀卡在3A而責難球團，一個好球員發現他被另一 個好球員或是一張大合約擋住了他未來的道路是時常發生的。當這些球員變成3A球團的 奠基石及小聯盟典範時，我們已經忘了如果他們在正確的位子可以作些什麼。 For some reason, this year there seems to be an abundance of such circumstances, so today we will go exploring. Ladies and gentleman, jumping right into things, your Minor League All-Blocked Team: 基於一些理由，今年似乎有許多不同的情況，今天我們將來探究一番。先生女士，照過 來照過來，為您頒佈的是小聯盟全被阻隊（XD）： First Base: Scott Thorman, Braves 一壘：Scott Thorman，勇士隊 I don't believe that Adam LaRoche is at the heart of the Atlanta Braves' problems. This year, Dave's son has provided the Braves with plenty of power, posting an Isolated Power of nearly .250. However, the power has come at the expense of his batting average, as his ISO is equivalent to his average. The reason? Poor contact skills, as LaRoche is striking out in more than 20% of his plate appearances. 我不相信Adam LaRoche是勇士隊問題的核心。今年Dave的兒子（指Adam嗎？）提供了勇 士隊充足的Power，IsoP差不多有.250。儘管如此，Power上升的代價是用他的打擊率交 換的，他的ISO（應該是指IsoP）等於他的平均值。要問原因嗎？沒有什麼打擊技巧可言 ，LaRoche被三振了超過20%的打席。 Enter Thorman. While handing the everyday spot to him would be accepting some loss in terms of power (his ISO is only about .240 in AAA), it would help in the on-base percentage column. Thorman's reduced strikeout numbers would help get more batting average from the position, and while Thorman doesn't walk at LaRoche's rate, he does so at an acceptable pace; his OBP is .049 points higher than LaRoche's, albeit at a lower level. 來看看Thorman吧。如果把他放入每天先發名單中，必須忍受一些Power上的損失（他的 ISO在3A只有.240），這將對一壘的平均圖有些幫助（應該是指Thorman比較接近一壘平 均吧？）。在這個位置上，（比起LaRoche而言）Thorman減少被三振的數字對於多提高 些打擊率是有幫助的，雖然Thorman並沒有LaRoche揀保送的功力，但他仍在可接受的範 圍。他的OBP比LaRoche的高出了.049，儘管仍是較差的水準。 Given his recent home run hot streak, which has helped double his home run rate over two weeks, the Braves would be best suited to try the flavor of the week. If that doesn't work, perhaps a trade would. 看他狂轟全壘打的火熱近況，在過去的兩週已經幫助他的HR Rate提升一倍，勇士隊這週 最好試試這個調味料。如果這樣還沒有效，那也許來個交易才會有效吧。 --
