Prospect Insider的電子報，轉貼附重點節錄。 ============================================================================= Spring Training Notes: When camp opened the 2008 Seattle Mariners 25-man roster was not being treated as much of a mystery. It was believed that there were few decisions for skipper John McLaren to make. But McLaren has spoken highly of several players that began the month as afterthoughts. Yung Chi Chen has impressed not only McLaren but the entire coaching staff from hitting coach Jeff Pentland to bench coach Jim Riggleman. Chen's chances of making the team out of spring training are still minimal, but he's certainly done all he can during the first two weeks to give himself a shot. 雖然陳鏞基開季留在大聯盟的機會仍然極小，但他春訓的表現相當好。整個教練團都對 他印象深刻。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowe and Away Mark Lowe has been given the green light to let it fly this spring, and has been throwing pen sessions without restriction, and while he's yet to have made an appearance in a Cactus League game, the right-hander has been getting his work in on the minor league fields and is scheduled to pitch in an "A" game by this weekend. Lowe健康上沒有什麼問題，預計週末會上場。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clement is Good Watching Jeff Clement for three days has led me to one very quick conclusion this spring: He's easily one of the best four hitters in the organization and his bat belongs on the 25-man roster. He's comfortable in the batter's box, has shown a consistent swing to go with good pitch recognition and plate coverage, and makes the pitcher work. I just don't see any way McLaren has the berries to send him to Triple-A Tacoma. Clement的棒子屬於大聯盟。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bold Prediction In the "B" game on Wednesday, March 5, Horacio Ramirez will do something that McLaren and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre can use as an excuse to get him into an "A" game within the next week or so. He could serve up six hits in two innings and walks four batters, but Ramirez is being protected right now, and it's not by Bill Bavasi. ============================================================================= Early Returns on Prospect Assignments: We're still nearly four weeks away from having a good idea what the minor league rosters are going to look like but there are some early signs. It's fairly clear that the Tacoma Rainiers roster is likely to consist of pitchers Ryan Feierabend, Robert Rohrbaugh, Doug Fister, Cesar Jimenez, Steve Kahn, Mark Lowe, Jon Huber, Phillip Barzailla, Jose de la Cruz, Joe Woerman and possibly Jake Woods, Roy Corcoran, Rich Dorman, Cha Seung Baek, Sean White and even Horacio Ramirez. The outfield is likely to consist of Jeremy Reed and/or Charleton Jimerson, Wladimir Balentien, Bronson Sardinha, Prentice Redman and possible Mike Morse and Bubba Crosby. The infield is likely to have Bryan LaHair and Matt Tuiasosopo at the corners, with Ronnie Prettyman in the mix as well, and Tug Hulett, Chen, Mike Kinkade and Oswaldo Navarro rounding out the most likely candidates. Tacoma開季的可能陣容。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elsewhere... It appears shortstop Carlos Triunfel could head back to High Desert where he finished 2007, with defense being a major focus for the 18-year-old Dominican... Outfielder Michael Saunders is probably headed for Double-A West Tennessee, but some of the other players have said that they would not be shocked if Saunders started the season in Tacoma... Unless right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx can satisfy the organization with his still-being-messed-with mechanics and shows no signs that his arm is less than 100 percent, there is a chance he could be sent back to the California League, though a representative of the club's Player Development department recently doubted that scenario. "He's paid his dues down there, and unless he's hurt, he'll move on. He's a worker." Triunfel可能會回A+練防守。 Saunders可能會去2A，不過如果他到3A去也別太驚訝。 ABD的健康目前看來沒有問題，他可能會回A+。不過球團內部有人說除非受傷，不然 他會往上爬。 ============================================================================= Prospect Insider Handbook Update: Though it's about two weeks behind the originally schedule publish date of February 18 - you can blame the Erik Bedard trade for that - the Prospect Handbook will be available within the next two weeks, in both digital download E-book form as well as via spiral-bound paperback.
