跟白襪隊交易農場新秀 Danny Richar(AA)<====>Aaron Cunningham(A+) BA 2007 handbook將他列位白襪第七名農場新秀,是個外野手 Aaron Cunningham, of Born: April 24, 1986 ‧ B-T: R-R ‧ Ht: 5-11 ‧ Wt: 195 Drafted: Everett (Wash.) CC, 2005 (6th round) ‧ Signed by: Joe Butler/Adam Virchis Background: Undrafted out of high school and unknown when he arrived at Everett (Wash.) CC, Cunningham tore the cover off the ball as scouts flocked to see his teammates, pitchers Zach Simons and J.T. Zink. Cunningham hit .465 in his wood-bat league and joined Simons and Zink in the first eight rounds of the 2005 draft. He has batted .301 since signing as a sixth-rounder. Strengths: A muscular, compact athlete, Cunningham produces above-average bat speed and drives the ball to all fields. He stepped up his power production in 2006, and the White Sox believe there's more to come. He crowds the plate and handles the bat well. He has above-average speed and arm strength. Weaknesses: Cunningham is a born hitter but still a bit green in terms of rounding out his game. He must work better counts and curb some of his aggressiveness at the plate. He doesn’t get good jumps and probably won't be a basestealer at higher levels. He's probably going to be a left fielder because his jumps, throwing mechanics and accuracy all need work. The Future: Easily Chicago's best position prospect in the lower minors, Cunningham is at least a couple of seasons away from being ready for the majors. He should start 2007 in high Class A and could hit his way to Double-A with a strong spring and fast start. Q: Larry from Rockford asks: In terms of pure ceiling, how does Cunningham compare to Sweeney and Fields? Also, is there any chance Cunningham could end up a CF? Thanks. A: Phil Rogers: Hey Larry. Yes, Cunningham could play CF. He doesn't have the greatest arm but I think he's a solid outfielder and the White Sox aren't afraid to look at non-traditional guys in CF. Witness Joe Borchard and Sweeney. I don't think his ceiling is quite as high as the guys you mentioned, mostly because he doesn't project to have the power and maybe not as much speed, either. But he could be a high-average hitter, which would keep him in the big leagues for a long time. He's a very interesting guy to watch. --
