相信不少人很意外他還在...

Unless you are a dedicated follower of Yankee prospects, chances are you're
unfamiliar with right-hander Christian Garcia. Once upon a time, Garcia was
selected near the top of the same Yankees draft class that brought Phil Hughes
to the organization. Most scouts agreed at the time that while he wasn't the
polished, complete package that Hughes was, he probably had the superior stuff
of the two.
除非你非常注意洋基的農場否則你可能沒聽過Garcia, 他跟Hughes 同一年被選上，當時
大部分人認為他的完成度不如Huhges 但是 stuff 更好。
Since then, it's been a mess of injury woes for Garcia and he's had a hard time
simply getting a season off the ground. In 2009, however, he finally seemed to
be on his way back as he strung together five dominant starts with Double-A
Trenton. It seems he has carried that over into spring training this year,
looking close to untouchable in Wednesday's action.
從那之後他就是DL 的固定先發... 但是去年底終於在AA 投了五場相當好的比賽，而今年
春訓似乎也維持著好狀態， 禮拜三看到他幾乎是沒人碰的到。
Garcia came out of the gate locating and pounding the strike zone with a heavy,
90-92 mph fastball. By the end of his four-inning stint, he was living around
92-93 mph and reaching 94 on a couple of high fastballs. He has some deception
in his delivery, hiding the ball well and coming right over the top, creating
excellent downward plane. When he was at his healthiest, Garcia could
consistently get it up into the mid-90s with good movement, and it looks like
we are slowly seeing that come back. As it sits, he has plus velocity and plus
movement, so if his arm strength does continue to improve as he gets some
innings under his belt, then he could become an ever scarier proposition for
hitters.
Garcia 這場比賽開場時用球威很好的90-92 FB 一直猛攻好球帶，等到四局出場的後段他
已經在 92-93 而且好幾次94 的球速， 他的出手會對打找造成一些疑惑，他把球藏的很
好然後忽然就從上面爆發出來。 整個球的陸線非常的好。 當他以前健康的時候可以
穩的的在mid 90s 而且尾勁很好， 現在有開始要回來的徵兆，即使現在其實也已經有
很優秀的球速跟尾勁了，如果他還能更回到過去那實在很恐怖。
He's plenty scary right now though, and he has a lot more going for him than
just his fastball. Garcia is a complete, three-pitch pitcher, and that is with
three plus pitches. I don't like to throw around plus grades often, so to see a
pitcher with three plus pitches is a real rarity. It's never been about stuff
with this big right-hander; it's always been about his health.
現階段他已經很不錯了，他不只有FB，他的curve 跟 change 也都很不錯，筆者不隨便
亂丟plus pitch 的標籤但是他認為Garcia 真的事有三個plus pitch. 他的問題一直不
適能力而是健康。
Garcia's signature pitch is his hammer curveball at 79-82 mph. The best
comparison for his breaking ball is A.J. Burnett's. Like Burnett's curveball,
his action is late and very tight. As Jayson Werth learned on Wednesday,
working out with the Phillies' Double-A squad, Garcia has the type of curveball
that's close to unhittable even if you are expecting it in an 0-2 count. Werth
struck out swinging twice against Garcia, both on breaking balls following high
fastballs that he also swung through. His curveball grades out easily as a 7
pitch on the 2-8 scale. He made a lot of good hitters look lost on Wednesday,
and he's going to produce a lot of swings and misses at the next level if he
keeps spinning it with that type of command and action.
Garcia 最大的武器是他的曲球，跟AJ Burnett 的很類似，在禮拜三Jason Werth 有跟
AA 的球隊一起參賽，他被Garcia 三振兩次，兩次都是變化球揮空(而且前一球都是揮空
的high fastball) 。 他的曲球在 2-8 的評分中絕對有7。 如果能維持這種水準那他再
上去也不會有太多問題。
The arsenal doesn't end there. Garcia also showed off a plus changeup at 80-83
mph, which he was able to use very consistently against left-handed hitters.
Also very impressive were the swings and misses he got with this pitch. You
don't often see that with a pitcher that could easily just rely on his
devastating breaking ball. His changeup grades out as a 6 on the 2-8 scale.
他的變速球以不錯，算是相當穩定的能夠應付左打者。很多人也都揮不到他的變速球。
評分應該有6。
Consider the arsenal Garcia showed off on Wednesday. His plus fastball with
good movement produces a huge amount of groundballs and broken bats. His
curveball is an elite, swing-and-miss type pitch. And, he has a changeup he can
locate with excellent consistency with a 10-14 mph differential from his
fastball. The main complaint about the Yankees farm system from a pitching
perspective is that they lack a hurler with frontline upside in the upper levels
of their system. If Garcia is on the field and throwing like he did on
Wednesday, that won't be the case for long.
如果Garcia 終於能夠健康 (狼來了............................) 那他可能會是今年
洋基農場中最大的黑馬。
