SportsBlurb Top 10 Prospect

[BALUA (jjomj)]

BA的Top10大概要到明年一月中才會放榜吧
roto也不知道什麼時候會輪到國中
無魚蝦也好所以就隨意看看吧

1.Chris Burke, 2B: The next Killer B.  Burke is a former first round pick
 that has turned himself into one of the top second base prospects in the game
 .His ability is slightly similar to Future Hall of Fame Astros second baseman
 Craig Biggio, himself.  Burke hit .315-16-52 with 37 steals at the age of 24
 in Triple-A last season.  That was the first time he has shown power in his
 pro career, and the fact that he was playing in a hitter's park has some
 skeptical that he can hit that many out of the park in the majors.Burke will
 also take a pitch, either out of the strike zone or on the arm, so he is the
 perfect future leadoff hitter.

 ETA: 2005

2.Mitch Einertson, OF: Everybody passed on Einertson in the recent draft
  until the fifth round, and most are already regretting it.  The 18-year-old
  was unbelievable in Rookie Level, hitting .308-24-67 in just 227 at-bats.
  Strikeouts are already a major concern with 70, but power does not come along
  at such an early age often.  A long way to go, yet Einertson has gone a long
  way in establishing himself as a prospect already.

  ETA: 2008

3.Fernando Nieve, SP: The 22-year-old Nieve throws in the mid-90s with good
  control and posted an ERA below 3.00 in High-A and Double-A last season.
  That is the good news.  The bad news is his strikeout rate.  It was just a
  tad above 7.0 in High-A.  That is fine for the majors, but in the low minors
  it is considered low.  Double-A figured better strikeout results in three
  starts, so maybe he will erase this concern.

  ETA: 2006

4.Ezequiel Astacio, SP: Acquired in the Billy Wagner trade last off-season,
  Astacio is surprisingly looking like the best part of the return.  The
  24-year-old's strikeout rate took off last season in Double-A with 185 in
  176 innings pitched.  He throws in the low-90s with some nasty secondary
  pitches and good control.  With his recent breakout, he could develop into a
  middle of the rotation starter.

  ETA: 2006

5.Taylor Buchholz, SP: This was the key part of the Billy Wagner trade.
  Buchholz did a great job in Double-A during 2003 with bone chips in his elbow
  and then sputtered last season in Triple-A.  The 23-year-old posted an ERA
  above 5.00 at that level but still throws strikes, has a low-90s fastball and
  terrific curve.  Maybe his second go-around in Triple-A will help reestablish
  his status as a top prospect.

  ETA: 2006

6.Matt Albers, SP: Walks hurt Albers last season in Low-A, but the 21-year-old
  posted a terrific strikeout rate.His mid-90s fastball produced 140 strikeouts
  in just 111.1 innings pitched on the season.  The development of his other
  pitches may determine whether he has a future as a starter or a reliever.

  ETA: 2007

7.Wily Taveras, OF: Selected in the 2003 Rule V draft from Cleveland, Taveras
  could be the leadoff hitter that former Astros GM Gerry Hunsicker had been
  longing for.  The 22-year-old hit .335 with over 50 steals in Double-A last
  season, the first time he has hit .300 as a pro.  He has absolutely no power
  -less than 20 extra base hits last season - but has the speed to possibly hit
  .300 despite that literal weakness.The Astros could use him as a pinch-runner
  by the end of the season.

  ETA: 2006

8.Brooks Conrad, 2B: Sleeper alert.  Conrad continues to hit as a second
  baseman, easily enough to start in the majors.  The 24-year-old hit .290-13-93
  in Double-A last season with eight steals and 63 walks.  The move up to
  Triple-A could give him even better results due to the nature of the PCL.
  Jeff Kent just left Houston, and Conrad is a watered down version of the
  slugger.

  ETA: 2006

9.Ben Zobrist, SS: After being drafted in the sixth round this season, Zobrist
  made his debut in Low-A and did not turn back.  He hit .339 with 15 steals
  and an excellent 43/31 BB/K ratio in just over 200 at-bats.  That makes him
  the typical shortstop offensively, and he is good enough defensively to stick
  at the position.

  ETA: 2007

10.Josh Anderson, OF: Anderson's stock as a prospect depends almost wholly on
   whether he develops better strike zone judgment.  The 22-year-old did not
   need it in Low-A when he hit above .300, but the move to High-A saw a lower
   average and bigger BB/K discrepancy.  The speedster converted 78 out of 91
   steal chances last season but will not be anything more than a pinch-runner
   unless he makes better contact and learns the strike zone quickly.

   ETA: 2007

恕刪....
昨天很閒...把這個翻了一下...
大家湊合著看....
順便幫忙訂正錯誤....
太久沒看英文的東西了....╮(╯_╰)╭
--------------------------------------

1.Chris Burke，2 B︰
下個Killer B的成員.
Burke 是個第一輪被選進來的 ,而他在比賽中也把自己變成二壘的頂級新秀.
他的型蠻類似未來會進太空人名人堂的二壘手Crag Biggio.
24歲的Burke 上季在3A繳出了.315-16-52 外帶37次盜壘的成績.
第一次在職業生涯顯現了他的長打能力,但事實上他是在打者球場打出這樣成績,
於是有些人對於他在major是否能保持這樣的能力感到有些懷疑.
Burke選球蠻有耐心的,沒進好球帶的或手臂附近的高球他都會忍住不出棒.
看起來他將會是會優秀的第一棒打者.
預計︰ 2005上Major (姊夫走了,明年2b就他了...)


2.Mitch Einertson，OF，
選秀時，許多球團在前面的順位都放掉Einertson直到第五輪被太色人選走.
而大多數的現在己經對此感到遺憾。
這個18歲的小伙子在菜鳥階段展現了令人難以置信的能耐，
僅在227個打數裡就打出了.308-24-67的成績。
三振次數過多（70次）是主要的缺點，
這種年紀的時候長打多，三振跟著多是正常的。
未來的路很長，但Einertson以實力證實自己已是個潛力新秀，
在這段路上取得一大段的領先。

預計︰ 2008 上Major



3.Fernando Nieve，SP︰
好消息是 22歲的Nieve 控球良好且球速可達mid-90s，
上季在High - A及2A系保持著3以下的ERA。
壞消息是他三振率。 在High-A只比7多一點。
這對大檸檬的球員算還不錯，但在低階小聯盟裡這算是低的。
2A出賽的三場先發有展現較好的三振率，所以也許他能消除這個疑慮

預計︰ 2006 上Major



4.Ezequiel Astacio，SP︰
他是上個球季結束時，從Billy Wagner的交易撿來的，
令人驚訝的是,Astacio看起來回到他狀況最好的時候一樣。
24 歲的他上季在2A有著176局中出現185次三振。
具有Low-90的速球，一些犀利的第二球路並控球良好。
由於他最近暴走關係，或許他未來可以成為一個3或4號的先發。

預計︰ 2006 上Major




5.Taylor Buchholz，SP︰
這是Billy Wagner交易的關鍵部分。
Buchholz 2003年在2A表現的很漂亮，但上個球季因手肘碎骨而在3A表現得雷聲大雨點小。
這個23歲的小伙子在3A ERA超過了5.00，但是還好仍然投得出三振，
有low-90s的速球和頂不錯的曲球。
或許他在第二次挑戰3A時會回復到頂級新秀的身手。

預計︰ 2006 上Major




6.Matt Albers，SP︰
四死球對Albers上季在Low-A的表現有極大殺傷力，
但是21歲的他表現出了極好的三振率。
他Mid-90s的速球在上季僅111 1/3局的投球就產生了140次的三振。
其他球路的發展情形會決定末來他是先發或後援的料。

預計︰ 2007 上Major



7.Wily Taveras， OF:2003規則五選秀裡從笑臉人那裡撿來的，
Taveras可能是前Astros 太色人GM Gerry Hunsicker一直想要的那種第一棒打者。
22歲的他上季在2A繳出了avg 0.335，並有50次的盜壘，
這也是他在職業生涯中第一次打率達到三成大關。
他明顯的就是沒長打力－上季長打少於20支－儘管有這項弱點，
但他仍有速度可以把打擊率拉到三成。
快的話太色人可能會在明年季末叫他上來當當投手的代跑。

預計︰ 2006 上Major



8.Brooks Conrad，2 B︰
Sleeper alert(這怎麼翻啊....)。
 Conrad 若繼續以二壘手的身分打擊，應該輕易的就可以在major出賽了.
二十四歲的Conrad 上季在2A打出了 .290-13-93外帶8盜壘及63次保送的成績。
昇上三A後PCL的"大自然力量"，會給他得到更好的成績。
姊夫肯特剛離開Houston，Conrad可望成為下一個具長打能力的二壘手
(成績目前是有點被灌水的感覺-_-..)。

預計︰ 2006 上Major


9.Ben Zobrist，SS︰
本季在第6輪被選，
Zobrist在Low-A初登場後，之後便沒再回到Low-A過 。
他在僅200個打席裡打出了 .339加上15次的盜壘並有43/31這樣子優秀的四壞／三振比。
這使他成為典型的攻擊型游擊手， 而且他有夠好的防守能讓他留在這個位置。

預計︰ 2007 上Major



10.Josh Anderson ，OF:
Anderson養不養得起來完全取決於他的選球眼長不長得出來。
22歲的他在Low-A 打率達三成時，還不太需要判定好球帶的能力，
但是一到High-A時我們可以明顯的看到打擊率下降且BB/K的差蠻多的。
除非他改善擊球的技巧並快點讓眼睛裡長出好球帶，
不然大概只會成為一個代跑者而已。
預計︰ 2007 上Major
