Player Pos. B-T HT WT High School B’date Jade Todd LHP L-L 6-2 185 Shades Valley 3-22-90 SCOUTING REPORT: There is little consensus among area scouts who cover Alabama who the top high school prospects are beyond Destin Hood and Tyler Stovall,but Todd ranks high enough with a few teams that he is a draft consideration after the 10th round. 在球探眼中Todd一致公認是Alabama地區僅次於Destin Hood跟Tyler Stovall的高中選手 ，是部分球隊在10輪之後值得考慮的人選。(這表示我們早選了嗎…) He’s a tall, rangy lefthander who made a good impression early in the 2008 season when his fastball was customarily in the 90-91 range. That gave him a third quality pitch as his curve, a 12-to-6 downer when he stays on top of it, is a potential out pitch, and his changeup is a solid offering. The weight of playing on a weak high school team may have taken a toll on Todd later in the season, however, as his velocity dipped to 85-87 mph. —ALLAN SIMPSON 身材高瘦的他在今年球季初給人留下良好印象，當他快速球能夠維持在90mph時，搭配12 點鐘往六點鐘掉的曲球(有淺力成為他的決勝球)跟穩定的變速球讓高中打者吃盡苦頭。 有淺力成為3-pitch先發投手，高中身處弱隊過大的投球量使他在球季後段球速下滑到85 到87 mph，是要注意的地方。 短評：今年選秀第一位高中生，淺力卻不是真的這麼高…原本10輪之後身價在第七輪選進 所以美國那邊的球迷一致認為這只是safe pick結果果然在第一批簽約名單中就有他。 不像去年老虎選擇跟一堆難纏的高中生搏鬥到簽約截止日最後一刻那樣的緊張刺激，今年 選入的高中生大概只有18輪Scott Weismann是需花費比較大力氣也”一定”要努力簽下的 高中生淺力股。 Jade Todd現在有很多時間開發他的實力，論淺力去年三明治的Joey B. Hamilton、第五 輪Casey W. Crosby(左投速球豪腕，可惜冬季動TJ要明年才能看到他。)都在他之上，甚 至第二十六輪Matthew C. Hoffman現在都已經在full season 1a打拼，能不能在老虎新秀 投手中占有一席地位就要看他的努力啦！不然像今年送至馬林魚的Dallas Traherm成為交 易包裹也是可能的選項之一。 周末忙畢典沒時間翻 希望這禮拜能把這部分完成~~ --
