Tommy Pham, of, Cardinals
Born: March 8, 1988. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 180. Drafted.: HS—Las Vegas,
2006 (16th round). Signed by: Manny Guerra.
A fresh start in Double-A Springfield gave Pham the career boost that changes
in position and return visits to lower levels had not. He blossomed with
Springfield last summer, batting .339/.429/.537 in 38 games before an errant
pitch hit him on the wrist and left him with a small fracture, ending his
season in mid-August. Pham was Nevada's best high school prospect in 2006,
starring as a two-way player and signing for $325,000 as a 16th-rounder after
signability questions knocked him out of the early rounds. He slogged through
the lower levels of the minors and proved too inconsistent at shortstop. His
bat, billed as his best tool, also wilted as he batted just .212/.294/.352 in
his first four pro seasons. Moved to outfield and maturing into his
athleticism, Pham started putting everything together in 2010. He squared up
balls more consistently and did a much better job of controlling the strike
zone. He still can get pull-conscious and will have to continue to improve
his plate coverage. He has fringy power and is more of a doubles threat than
a home run hitter. Pham's best pure tool is his plus speed, and he improved
his range in center field by taking better routes on balls. His arm is solid.
Pham experienced headaches throughout 2010 and may explore surgery to
correct a pre-existing eye condition that he wears contacts to address. Once
again in the Cardinals' plans, he may return to Double-A to start 2011.
今年成績有所突破，運動能力很棒，能守中外野，可惜觸身球造成手腕骨折提早結束球
季。球季結束後也動了眼睛的手術，希望可以跟Eric Hosmer一樣動個眼睛手術就變成
top prospect :)

Kevin Thomas, rhp, Cardinals
Born: July 8, 1986. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 215. Drafted.: Stephen F. Austin
State, 2008 (33rd round). Signed by: Joe Almaraz.
Another of the overlooked gems the Cardinals attempt to uncover each year at
smaller colleges, Thomas has proven to be much better than the 6-4, 6.27
record he carried as a senior at Stephen F. Austin State. Signed for $20,000
as a 33rd-round pick in 2008, he broke out last year by going 10-2, 2.27 at
high Class A Palm Beach. His ERA would have lead the Florida State League by
nearly half a run had he not fallen just short of qualifying. Thomas fires
his sinker at 87-92 mph, topping out at 94, and used it to post a nifty 2.94
groundout/airout ratio in 2010. It's his only reliable pitch, as he has a
fringy slider and a below-average changeup. With his strong frame, resilient
arm and solid mechanics, Thomas has proven durable in a variety of roles. In
each of his three pro seasons, he has begun the year as a long reliever and
finished it as a starter. After his performance last year, the Cardinals will
see how he does starting 2011 in their Double-A Springfield rotation.
又一個紅雀從小學校找的球員。局數稍嫌不足排不進FSL排行榜，不過比第一名還少將
近半分。滾飛比2.94，不過也只有速球而已，滑球不好、變速球低於平均。

Adron Chambers的雖然是去年的，也順便補充好了

Adron Chambers, of, Cardinals
Born: Oct. 8, 1986. B-T: L-L. Ht.: 5-10. Wt.: 185. Drafted: Pensacola (Fla.)
JC, 2007 (38th round). Signed by: Steve Turco.
Chambers used a bus ticket to make an impression on the Cardinals. A premium
high school athlete coming out of Pensacola, Fla., he went to Mississippi
State as a defensive back and played regularly during his sophomore season
before an on-campus incident in 2006. He was involved in an incident with
another student in a dormitory and was charged with misdemeanor assault. He
was suspended from the football team and withdrew from school, enrolling at
Pensacola JC and giving baseball a shot. He then hopped on a Greyhound bus to
Memphis for one of St. Louis' predraft workouts. His drive, above-average
speed and hitting potential led the Cardinals to draft him in the 38th round
in 2007 and sign him for $40,000. Chambers was one of high Class A Palm
Beach's most consistent hitters last season, batting .283/.370/.400 out of
the leadoff spot and leading the club with 47 walks. He's aggressive on the
basepaths and can steal bases on sheer speed, though refining his technique
would allow him to swipe more bags and improve his 64 percent success rate
from 2009. He has gap power, which he showed by hitting a minor league-best
16 triples last year. Defensively, his good range and solid arm strength
allow him to handle all three outfield spots. Chambers will advance to
Double-A this season.
原本是美式足球defensive back，大二因施暴而退學。進入JUCO後打棒球，自行前往紅
雀選秀前的測試。速度快，還需要磨練跑壘技術。有gap power。BA是說他能守外野三
個位置，不過我有看到Kevin Goldstein說有球探認為他不能守中外野。
網頁裡還有Maikel Cleto的介紹，有興趣可以點進去看。
