在這邊截取關於Venditte的部分
Steve asks: Pat Venditte continues to have terrific numbers at each minor
league level. While the ambidextrous pitcher is a great curiosity there
doesn’t seem to be much interest to test him at the next level.
He’s now 25 in A+ Tampa, which is on the old side. While it’s been written
that the Yankees may not have him projected as a true prospect, somewhere along
the line they will need to find out how far he can go.
What is the hesitancy at this point?
Answer：I think it’s just a matter of the team not believing he’s an actual
prospect, so he’s low on the totem pole. Other guys get moved up first
because they’re of higher priority, so to speak. There’s no arguing the
numbers, obviously, but he’s not the only reliever to perform well in A-ball
history. His stuff is better from the right side but still nothing special,
and he’s a nice gimmick for minor league teams always looking for
funpromotions.
Not to sound harsh, but if it wasn’t for the whole switch-pitcher thing, no
one would think twice about Venditte. He is what he is, a 25-year-old senior
sign schooling younger batters. Think of it as a redux of Colter Bean or
Chris Britton; the guy has such great numbers in the minors and we all want
him called up, but when he does we watch him and say “oh … ewww.” Most of
the time the Yankees are right about these kinds of guys, with the only
obvious exception being John Axford. If they don’t believe Venditte has a
future in the big leagues, he probably doesn’t.
