: 9. OF Che-Hsuan Lin
: Lin, 22, the Red Sox 2010 Minor League Defensive Player of the Year, is
: entering his fifth season in the Red Sox organization, and he has been
: developing quite nicely. While his slick fielding and throwing are his primary
: strengths, Lin, who is from Taiwan, is also is a solid contact hitter. This
: quality seems all the more true when one sizes up his scouting report and sees
: that his swing is still rather unrefined—which then makes one wonder what his
: offensive ceiling might be.
: Lin will never be a power hitter, but if he finds a way to pull his batting
: average up closer to .290 or so (he hit .275 last year at Double-A Portland),
: Lin might very well find himself playing at the major league level (in Boston
: or elsewhere) and giving Seattle's Franklin Gutierrez a run for his money as
: the best defensive outfielder in baseball.

簡短翻譯一下

10.RHP Junichi Tazawa

You can add Junichi Tazawa, 24, to the burgeoning list of young pitchers who
undergo Tommy John surgery. He underwent the procedure last April. What
remains to be seen, obviously, is whether Tazawa will be able to find himself
the same success after the surgery that he had prior to it. Saying that 2011
is a huge season for Tazawa is still a bit of an understatement.

Tazawa, who became the first Japanese player to go directly from playing
amateur ball domestically to playing professionally in the U.S., stands to
fair all right after his surgery, considering he relies heavily on off-speed
stuff rather than his fastball, the latter of which he will have to work hard
on to regain his former velocity.

Many rankings of the Red Sox farm system do not have Tazawa ranked as highly
as I do here; however, I'm not willing to discount a guy before he's shown
what he is (or perhaps is not) capable of after his major, but increasingly
less invasive, surgery.

不確定 看手術後可不可以一樣威(只是TJ應該回復不難啦 我猜)


8. OF Josh Reddick

Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images Reddick will turn 24 in February, and 2011 stands
to be an important season for the 2006 draftee. Reddick has played part of
the past two seasons with Boston, and he has struggled to hit consistently at
the major league level. Of course, it is hard to hit consistently if one is
not playing consistently.

It seems unlikely that there is a starting job for Reddick in Boston. He
could probably find a home on a weaker team with less outfield depth than the
Red Sox, so it would not be surprising to see Reddick moved at some point
this season, especially considering he has probably hit the ceiling on his
minor league value. His versatility, however, makes him a valuable asset to
the Sox as a potential fourth outfielder.

大概會被交易


7. 3B Kolbrin Vitek

Kolbrin Vitek, 21, arguably boasts the best raw potential for power in the
entire Red Sox farm system. He positively cleaned up for three years at Ball
State, and he had a great first year professionally last season, during which
he played at short-season Class-A Lowell before finishing up his season with
a brief stint with the Greenville Drive.

Vitek's plate discipline (he struck out just over twice for every time he
walked) and some slow footwork on defense are potential question marks;
however, he is a young player who is still very much developing and figuring
out the pro game.

Scouting reports mention that the Sox regard Vitek as a hard worker, and this
quality, as well as Vitek's affability, comes across quite nicely in an
interview he did with Chris Mellen of SoxProspects last July.

三振太多

6. RHP Anthony Ranaudo

Elsa/Getty Images Ranaudo, 21, was a surefire top 10 pitching prospect who
slid to the supplemental round of the 2010 draft after a rocky junior year at
LSU, during which he battle nagging elbow injuries. As excerpted from
Ranaudo's scouting report on SoxProspects.com: "His fastball never returned
to form, losing its tail and its velocity, he never got his feel back for the
strike zone, and he often tipped his pitches due to mechanical flaws."

Ranaudo was one of the linchpins of LSU's 2009 National Championship-winning
team, posting a 12-3 record while starting 19 games and logging 124.3
innings. He accomplished this to the tune of a 3.04 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP and an
11.51 K/9 figure. Not too shabby, huh?

Ranaudo has yet to throw a pitch for the Red Sox; however, he pitched
excellent this past summer for the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod League,
which agent Scott Boras used as leverage to get his stud client a $2.55
million signing bonus attached to the minor league contract that Boston and
Ranaudo agreed to in August.

If his albeit-brief CCL stint is indication, it appears that Ranaudo has put
his elbow troubles behind him and is ready to embark on a promising Major
League career. He will begin that journey this spring for the Double-A
Portland Sea Dogs.

手肘好了沒阿? 在Cape Cod看起來似乎蠻不錯

5. C Ryan Lavarnway

Lavarnway, 23, is unquestionably the top catching prospect in the Red Sox
farm system. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is slated as Boston's No. 1 catcher and
the aging captain, Jason Varitek, will assume the club's backup role in what
is likely the closing chapter to his playing career.

That leaves the door wide open for the unpolished Lavarnway, who only began
playing catcher regularly in 2007, his sophomore year in college—at Yale.
The Ivy League stereotypes hold water with Lavarnway, whom the Sox prize for
his intelligence and work ethic.

In full seasons at A and AA in, respectively, 2009 and 2010, the young
catcher held his own with the bat, logging a .392 OBP in '09 and .395 OBP
this past season.

At 6'4" and 225 lbs., Lavarnway has the Joe Mauer-esque build that makes
scouts drool. He cleaned up in the AFL this fall, playing with fellow Sox
youngster Jose Iglesias in the AFL's Rising Stars Game.

未來的捕手 前景看好


4. 1B Lars Anderson

Elsa/Getty Images Anderson, 23, was a September call-up last fall. He began
2010 at Double-A Portland but quickly earned himself a promotion to Triple-A
Pawtucket, where he hit .262/.340/.428/.768 with 10 HR, 53 RBI, 125 SO and 51
BB over 113 games. The strikeout numbers are a bit high, but Anderson
continues to improve his ability to hit for power without seeing his average
nosedive, which bodes well for his future prospects.

With this winter's acquisition of Adrian Gonzalez, Anderson appears to have
reached his ceiling in the Red Sox organization. He still would stand to
benefit from another full season in Triple-A; however, it would not be at all
surprising to see Boston move Anderson in a swap of minor league players to a
club with little depth at first base that needs major help at the major
league level.

持續進步 不過有了A-Gon 很有可能被包去換東西

3. SP Stolmy Pimental

Stephen Dunn/Getty Images The young Stolmy Pimentel turns 21 next month, but
he has already been under contract with the Red Sox since 2006. Such is the
life of budding Dominican baseball stars. Pimentel held his own last season
in the Carolina League, historically a tough Class-A league.

The Red Sox love Pimentel's developing fastball, but, perhaps even more, they
love how developed Pimentel's off-speed stuff is. He features a cutter, a
12-6 curve and a tremendous changeup. He gets his share of strikeouts while
also limiting his walks.

Pimentel's progression through the Sox system has gone swimmingly thus far.
Given his good mechanics, developed pitch repertoire and solid frame, there
is little reason to see why this won't continue to happen.

成長順利

2. SS Jose Iglesias

Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The 20-year-old Iglesias has quickly become the
toast of the Red Sox organization since being signed by Boston in Sept. 2009.
The young Cuban defector is already blessed with phenomenal defensive skills,
and the Sox are confident that he will continue to develop his undisciplined
approach at the dish.

Despite his best efforts at channeling the free-swinging abilities of
Vladimir Guerrero, Iglesias still managed to hit .285 over 57 games last year
at Double-A Portland, which has to make one wonder what this guy is capable
if he were able to rein in the 1:6.5 walk-to-strikeout ratio over that same
stint with the Sea Dogs.

I'll give another shout out for Chris Mellen of SoxProspects, who, in
addition to the aforementioned interview with Kolbrin Vitek, wrote a nice
article on Iglesias last August that is well worth the read.

Marco Scutaro's contract is only guaranteed through this year. (A $6 million
team option, a $3 million player option or a $1.5 million buyout are his
possible routes for 2012.) Iglesias could very well be a September call-up—
this falling on the heels of what will likely be a split season between
Double-A and Triple-A. If all goes well this year, it would not be a surprise
to see Boston pencil in Iglesias as the starting shortstop for 2012,
especially if they have a reliable utility infielder (like Jed Lowrie) in the
mix.

三振保送比很誇張 九月有機會觀光 明年搞不好是先發SS

1. OF Ryan Kalish

Gregory Shamus/Getty Images If there are any who dispute Kalish's No. 1 spot
among Sox' prospects, this photo ought to shut them up. Right? I mean, come
on, that portrait totally screams '"I'm a baseball god, and you know it!"

Humor aside, Kalish, 22, is the real deal. With Boston's injury situation in
the outfield last season, Kalish found his way into 53 games and hit
.252/.305/.405/.710, which isn't bad for a guy who really wasn't supposed to
play in the majors until this upcoming season.

Barring injury (which isn't saying a whole lot with J.D. Drew), Kalish will
have to spend 2011 at Pawtucket before his window appears in 2012, when Drew
is, finally, off the books and the Sox have an open spot in the outfield.
However, between Drew's history of injury and Ellsbury's need to prove
himself after a rocky 2010, Kalish may very well find himself in a similar
spot to last year, getting his reps and holding his own at the major league
level, all ahead of schedule.
