※ 引述《appshjkli (Red Spider Lily)》之銘言： New York Yankees Top 20 Prospects for 2009 John Sickels on Dec 26, 2008 6:48 PM EST http://www.minorleagueball.com/2008/12/26/702481/new-york-yankees-top-20-pr All grades are EXTREMELY PRELIMINARY and subject to change. Don’t get too worried about exact rankings at this point, especially once you get out of the top 10. Grade C+/C guys are pretty interchangeable depending on what you are looking for. 1) Jesus Montero, C, Grade B+: I believe in the bat. Where he fits with the glove I don’t know. 我相信他的打擊實力，不過不確認他能不能夠繼續的蹲捕。 2) Austin Jackson, OF, Grade B: Should be a solid player but not a star. Will that be enough in New York? 應該可以成為一個平均以上的everyday player(solid?)，不過不是一個全星星選手 這樣對洋基來說夠嗎? 3) Dellin Betances, RHP, Grade B-: Very high ceiling, has flashed dominance, can he stay healthy? 具有非常好的天賦，但他是否能保持健康? 4) Austin Romine, C, Grade B-: More likely to stick behind the plate than Montero, though not as good a hitter. 雖然不像Montero一樣是那麼好的打者，不過相較起來他繼續蹲捕的可能性較高。 5) Zach McAllister, RHP, Grade B-: A favorite of mine heading into 2008, looks like a strong inning-eater type. 看起來可以發展成吃大量局數的投手 6) Mark Melancon, RHP, Grade B-: Almost ready for major league action, should be good in pen and has closer potential. 幾乎在小聯盟練功完畢，應可成為牛棚的優秀戰力而且有成為終結者的可能。 7) Jairo Heredia, RHP, Grade B-: Looks like a major sleeper to me, and this is an aggressive ranking. 對我來說他是一匹黑馬。 8) Andrew Brackman, RHP, Grade C+: Yankees propaganda is thick around this guy. Great arm, healthy now, but I don’t buy into the command yet. Want to see evidence. 洋基對他有相當多的宣傳，他現在健康而且有絕佳的手臂。 but I don’t buy into the command yet.Want to see evidence.(?) 9) Phil Coke, LHP, Grade C+: I like what he did a lot last year. Should be avery useful pitcher. 我相當喜歡他去年的表現，應是一位相當實用的投手。 10) Alfredo Aceves, RHP, Grade C+: Has reached his ceiling, but like Coke he should be useful 他的表現到頂了，但就像Coke一樣相當實用。 11) Wilkins de la Rosa, LHP, Grade C+: Intriguing power lefty with a fresh arm. 12) Humberto Sanchez, RHP, Grade C+: Another power arm for the pen, command problems still an issue. 另外一個強力牛，控球問題仍待改善。 13) Jon Albaladejo, RHP, Grade C+: Another solid pen arm if healthy. 如果他健康會是一個好牛。 14) David Robertson, RHP, Grade C+: Yet another pen arm. ERA should have been closer to 4.00 based on the components. Hasn’t pitched 50 innings yet so he qualifies. 15) Brad Suttle, 3B, Grade C+: Will need to show enough power for third base. 身為一個3B，他需要展現足夠的power。 16) Arodys Vizcaino, RHP, Grade C+: Very young, could rank in the top 10 next year if he develops properly. 非常的年輕，如果發展良好也許在明年就可以排進前十名。 17) Christian Garcia, RHP, Grade C+: Another promising power arm if healthy. 如果健康也是一名強力投手。 18) George Kontos, RHP, Grade C+: Will need more consistent command. 需要加強控球。 19) Kanekoa Texeira, RHP, Grade C+: Power sinker/slider guy acquired in Swisher deal, yet another pen option. 有著強力的伸卡及滑球，牛棚的選擇之一。 20) Eduardo Sosa, OF, Grade C+: Very high ceiling guy, but need some North American data. Could rank as high as 8 depending on criteria and how much you trust DSL performance. 有很好的天賦，但是需要更多NorthAmerican的資料，或許可以排到第8，而這取決於 你對他在DSL的表現的相信程度。(???) 21) Eric Hacker, RHP, Grade C+: Surprise addition to 40-man roster, nice track record but injury-prone, fifth starter type when healthy. 訝異竟然會被加到40人名單。有玻璃的傾向，當健康是有機會是五號sp。 Others: David Adams, 2B; Manuel Banuelos, LHP; Jeremy Bleich,LHP: Frank Cervelli, C; Kelvin De Leon, OF; Mike Dunn, LHP; Brett Gardner, OF; Alan Horne, RHP: Corban Joseph, 2B; Brett Marshall, RHP; D.J. Mitchell, RHP ; David Phelps, RHP; Ryan Pope, RHP; Matt Richardson, RHP; Damon Sublett, 2B; Pat Venditte, RHP-LHP; Kevin Whelan, RHP. As usual, don’t sweat so much about where the Grade C+/C types rank exactly on this list. After I get past the top 10 I don’t worry so much about exact placement, since I’m trying to concentrate on the book right now. Some of the Grade C guys could be C+ in the book, and vice versa. SYSTEM IN BRIEF The Yankees don’t have anyone in the system that is a sure-fire superstar right now, but there is a lot of material to work with here on the pitching side. I love Montero’s bat, but defensive questions prevent a higher grade at this time. He has star offensive potential, but where does he play? Jackson looks more like a solid player than a star. Both Romine and Suttle have major league potential but some questions they need to answer at this point. Young tools guys like Sosa and De Leon look promising but are so far away that they are hard to rank at this point. 現在洋基農場中沒有任何一位五星級的超級新秀，但在投手方面有著不錯的深度(?)。 我很喜歡Montero的打擊，但現今他的防守問題使他沒辦法拿更高分。他有著全星星 級的打擊潛能但他以後在哪個位置?Jackson看起來比較像是一個everyday player(?) 而不是全明星選手。Romine和Suttle都具有上mlb的潛力，但現階段需要解決他們 的問題。更年輕的肉體像Sosa和De Leon看起來前景光明，不過現階段很難作準確的 排名與評論。 Things look much better on the pitching side. Brackman has a high ceiling obviously, but I find the New York hype about him highly annoying and, more importantly, very misleading. He is extremely raw for a college pitcher and until he actually takes the field in full-season ball and throws some strikes, I am keeping expectations in check. I like the guys ahead of him better at this point, particularly McAllister and Heredia. Coke and Aceves don’t have huge ceilings, but both look like useful major league pitchers. There are a LOT of power bullpen arms available. 而投手方面看起來明顯比較好，Brackman明顯有很高的天賦，但我發現紐約到處大肆宣 傳他到誤導人的地步。他是一個完成度相當低的大學投手。我把McAllister和Heredia 排到他前面。而Coke和Aceves沒有非常棒的天賦，都是實用的mlb投手。而農場中有相 當多可用的強力牛可供使用。 Overall, this system needs hitters but has considerable depth in pitching, giving them a lot to work with on the trade market. They are putting more and more money into Latin America, and a less conservative approach in the draft should pay dividends. 總之，農場中較缺乏打者，但是在投手方面有相當的深度。投手深度讓洋基在交易市場 有很大的操作空間。 Reports on these guys and over 1,000 others can be found in the 2009 Baseball Prospect Book.
