Drafted By Baltimore: [MLB] Randor Bierd (DET) - RHP http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/Randor-Bierd.shtml We got a Bierd for the Birds... 主要武器是90-93麥的二縫，最快可以投到95，搭配solid-average的滑球來製造 滾地球，然後還有一個average左右的變速，以前還有顆曲球不過似乎在05年開過TJ後 被封印掉了，他的stuff大概就是個在6-7局上來中繼的middle relief pitcher，老虎 應該是真的清不出位置才會讓他被選走。 BP>>> 3. Orioles select RHP Randor Bierd from the Tigers. Bierd is a classic sinker/slider pitcher who misses a lot of bats with both pitches when he’s not generating ground-ball outs with them. The concern scouts have with him is that his fastball has no more than average velocity, but it plays up due to excellent movement and location. His slider is a true plus pitch, but there are many minor league relievers who have combined average velocity with a plus breaking ball to put up big numbers, and their track record in the majors tends to be disappointing. Chances To Stick: Pretty good. Bierd's control will hopefully separate himself from the pack of generic relievers with his kind of arsenal. THT>>> 1. Randor Bierd Selected by the Baltimore Orioles (No. 3 overall) Year Level IP K BB HR ERA 2006 A- 38.1 41 15 2 6.57 2007 A 22.0 29 6 8 2.05 2007 AA 45.2 52 10 0 3.35 My personal top choice among available pitching talent in the Rule 5 draft, Bierd's 2.14 fielding-independent ERA ranked third among Eastern League pitchers with at least 40 innings pitched in 2007. That places him between Clay Buchholz (2.03) and Joba Chamberlain (2.56), though those top prospects achieved their dominance in starting roles. Bierd's career was sidetracked by Tommy John surgery two years ago, but the 23-year-old has bounced back with great control and and his sinking fastball/slider combination should yield at least an average strikeout rate in the major leagues. While Bierd is likely slated for a middle relief role with the Orioles, he does have more than two pitches and experienced some success as a spot starter in the minor leagues. [AAA] Ryan Rodriguez (CHW) LHP http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/R/Ryan-Rodriguez.shtml 國外的白襪鄉民說:"金鳥的農場有這麼缺打擊練習用的餵球左投？" 曾經有很棒的曲球，low90的速球跟偶爾出現的變速，加上很好的控球讓他曾經是第四 輪被選上被獸期待的高中新秀.. [AAA] Tim Brown (SDP) - 1B http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/Tim-Brown.shtml 今年他在AA的聯盟是比較偏向中性的，而球隊主場好像是個投手球場，這樣來看的話 他的成績還不錯，有一些power跟不錯的OBP，從他的K/BB來看選球應該不算差，不過 以一個1B來說的話打擊還是不夠好。 [AA] J.P Martinez (MIN) - RHP http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/J.P.-Martinez.shtml 90麥左右的fastball+hammering curveball+changeup是他比較常用的武器， 主要的定位是在牛棚，不過大概是雙城的人才太多讓他沒有多少空間， 今年實在是因為太老了才往上連拉兩個層級，可惜沒令人驚艷的表現， 到了O's的系統應該能在牛棚找到些工作。 --
