We had two stipulations as we composed this field: All these pitchers already had to be in the big leagues to qualify. And all had to be 26 or younger as of July 1. Meanwhile, to make sure our clients had a diversified portfolio, we imposed two rules on them: They had to vote for at least two right-handers and two left-handers. And they couldn't vote for any pitchers on their own team (which made some members of our panel very unhappy). 只貼跟自己球隊有關的，Jimenez 獲得第三： 3. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez, Rockies (age 26) OK, here's the man America can't stop talking about, even if half the people we polled did manage to stop themselves from voting for him. You've got us how anybody could not vote for a guy with a 0.78 ERA. But as one GM said, after leaving him off his list: "He's probably not going to throw 100 [miles per hour] for 10 years -- not that he needs to, to succeed." Another concern is that Jimenez has had what the same GM called "some odd injuries," and that he has thrown more pitches the past two years (4,787) than any pitcher in his age bracket -- not to mention the third most in any age bracket. So as much as everyone loves Ubaldo Inc., some members of our panel were reluctant to buy this stock and hold it for a decade. 重點：Jimenez過去年兩年的投球量（4,787）在他的年齡層是最多的，在所有投手裡 第三多-->受傷的疑慮造成有些人不願選擇他 But the Ubaldo admirers didn't share any of those reservations. They see a "well-proportioned, coordinated man" with four unhittable pitches and "tremendous makeup." And for pure stuff, it doesn't get any more "ridiculous" than this. "It's like facing a closer every inning," said one scout. And "you can just see guys saying, 'How am I supposed to hit this stuff?'" laughed another. So our clients can pass on this stock if they want to. But here at the Rumblings brokerage, we're buying -- in volume. 面對Uball就像每局都面對一個終結者 XD 下面還有頂尖對決那場對Jimenez的scout： First scout on Jimenez: "He finally seems to have figured out the timing and the tempo of his delivery. So the arm gets up there where it needs to be to locate the fastball. And he's locating fastballs to both sides, with movement. Before, he was going to throw a strike with that fastball and see what happens. Now he's locating with power to both sides, and mixing in that offspeed stuff. And if he can do that consistently, he's going to make a lot of hitters look silly." 大意是以前Jimenez只能把速球投進好球帶，無法控制在哪裡，現在他可以把有球威和尾 勁的速球投到好球帶兩側，而且還混有變化球，如果可以持續如此，很多打者會被他愚弄 Second scout on Jimenez: "Some of the stuff he throws up there, you just shake your head. Like I'm watching him pitch to Andres Torres, and he starts him off with a comeback sinker at 99 [mph]. Then comes an 89 split that just bottoms out. Then he goes to the top of the zone at 100, and [Torres] somehow lays off it. Then he snaps an 84-mile-an-hour downer hook, and it's see you later. Who does that stuff? That just doesn't happen." 分析那天他對Andres Torres的打席 --
