Nats take chance on Giolito with 16th pick by Mark Zuckerman Monday, June 4, 2012 來源： http://ppt.cc/DB3A The Nationals showed a willingness last summer to take a chance on draft picks with injury question marks, and they did it again tonight, selecting California high-school right-hander Lucas Giolito with the 16th overall pick in the MLB draft. 去年夏天國民隊把選秀權用在傷兵上，今晚他們再次這麼做了。國民在這次大聯盟選秀 的第16順位把高校右投Lucas Giolito選了進來。 Giolito, from Harvard-Westlake High School in Santa Monica, was thought of as a possible No. 1 overall choice at the start of the amateur season but was plagued with elbow soreness, turning many teams off. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound right-hander still went 9-1 with a 1.00 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 70 1/3 innings this season, with a fastball that regularly sits in the mid-90s. Giolito就讀於Harvard-Westlake高中，過去在新人球季一度被視為可能的狀元人選， 但是由於他右手的肘部爆彈，讓許多隊伍為止卻步。身高六呎三吋，體重210磅， 這個球季拿下9勝1負，主投70又1/3局，拿下精美的1.00ERA、78K，速球平均95mph左右。 (按：另一篇報導指出最高有100mph實力) The Nationals have been willing to take flyers on players with medical questions. Last year they selected third baseman Anthony Rendon and left-hander Matt Purke; each dealt with shoulder issues during their final season at college. 國民隊真的蠻挺這些有傷痛問題的球員的。去年他們選進來的三壘手Anthony Rendon， 還有左投Matt Purke，都是在大學賽季的最後一年出現肩部不適的狀況。 Giolito, 17, has committed to UCLA, so the Nationals will need to convince him to sign, and they'll have to do it under MLB's new rules that set a cap for draft signing bonuses. The Nationals are allowed to spend a total of $4.4 million on their top 10 picks; if they go over by even a small amount, they'll be subject to taxes and the potential loss of future picks. 17歲的Giolito已經拿到UCLA的入學許可，這表示國民隊要花一些"代價"來說服他加入， 也就是在新的大聯盟限制下給予他一份簽約金。國民隊在前10名選入的球員身上，總共 可以用的銀彈上限是440萬美元；即使超過一點點，他們也要因此被課稅，而且可能會影 響到未來的選秀機會。 The Nationals also have a limited window to sign Giolito, with MLB's deadline moved up to July 13 from August 15. Giolito is only the third high school pitcher drafted by the Nationals in the first round since the franchise arrived in Washington. The only others: right-hander Colton Willems (2006) and left-hander Josh Smoker (2007). 同時，國民隊雖然選到了Giolito，但也要在大聯盟給的期限前完成簽約。 (該期限已從8/15提前到7/13) Giolito是國民隊第三位從第一輪就選進來的高中投手。另外兩位是 右投Colton Willems(2006)，左投Josh Smoker(2007)。 心得： Rizzo真是狀元控! --
