第二彈：Pittsburgh Pirates
A Minor Review of 2009: Pittsburgh Pirates
by Marc Hulet - November 3, 2009
Prospect ranking season is here. Top 10 lists will be arriving shortly and
in preparation for that, we present an intro series looking at some of
the players who deserve mentioning but probably will not be
appearing on their teams’ Top 10 lists. The series is back for a second
year.
又到了新秀排名的時間了。Top 10會在晚點出現，但是為了準備，我
們將為大家介紹一些值得被注意，但是大概不會出現在Top 10的新秀們。
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Graduate: Andrew McCutchen, OF
McCutchen began the year in triple-A but he received his much-deserved
promotion after his 49th game in the minors in ‘09. He went on to
hit .286/.365/.471 with an ISO of .185 in 433 at-bats. The center fielder
also stole 22 bases in 27 attempts. For a top-of-the-order-type hitter,
McCutchen showed encouraging patience with a walk rate of 11.1%.
He’s still learning to hit breaking balls, but he handles MLB fastballs
with relative ease (1.47 wFB/C). Defensively, he struggled with his range
but he still posted a 3.4 WAR thanks to his offensive contributions.
McCutchen今年是從3A出發，但是在第49場比賽之後他終於得到了
他應得的升級。他在大聯盟的433 AB中打出了.286/.365/.471 ISO .185
的成績。他同時也在27次嘗試中成功盜壘22次。對於一個一二棒型
的打者來說，他表現出了值得讚賞的耐心。(11.1 BB%) 他還在學習如
何打breaking ball，但是他對於大聯盟的速球打的還不錯(1.47wFB/C)。
防守方面，他的守備範圍並不大，但是他的WAR還是因為他的打擊而到達3.4。
The Riser: Chase D’Arnaud, SS
D’Arnaud’s younger brother Travis (Philadelphia) was more highly
regarded as an amateur, but the elder sibling has performed better than
expected in pro ball. Originally considered a utility prospect, D’Arnaud
now projects as a possible starter in the middle infield. He split ‘09
between low-A and high-A and hit .295/.402/.481 at the senior level.
D’Arnaud also shows good patience at the plate (12.5 BB%) and his ISO
jumped to .186 in high-A, although most of his strength is gap power
right now. He also stole 31 bases in 39 attempts.
D’Arnaud在費城的弟弟本來是比較被看好的，但是哥哥打的其實也不
錯。本來他是個工具人新秀，現在的他有成為先發內野手的可能性。
他今年在low-A跟high-A都有出賽，在high-A的打擊成績
是.295/.402/.481。他同時也表現出了良好的耐心(12.5 BB%)，他的ISO
在high-A也提升到了 .186，但是目前而言他的長打來自於打到外野
的gap裡面。他在39次嘗試中成功盜壘31次。
The Tumbler: Bryan Morris, RHP
This right-hander’s value has taken a big hit due to injuries and alleged
attitude issues. A former top draft pick, Morris struggled with his
consistency in ‘09 and posted a walk rate of 4.21 BB/9 and a strikeout
rate of just 3.96 K/9 in 72.2 innings in high-A ball. He also allowed 87
hits, but gave up just two homers. At this point, the Pirates organization
would probably be happy to see Morris make the Majors as a reliever.
When he’s right, Morris has shown a plus curveball, change-up, slider
and an 88-93 mph fastball.
這位右投手的價值被他的傷勢和態度問題給嚴重打擊了。曾經的第一
輪新秀，今年的他控球已經消失，在high-A的72.2局裡投出4.21的
BB/9跟3.96的K/9。雖然被打了87支安打，這裡面卻只有兩隻HR。
現在的情況來說，只要Morris能夠成為大聯盟成功的後援投手，海
盜隊就已經心滿意足了。當他狀況好的時候，Morris有plus curve、
changeup、slider，跟一顆88-93mph的速球。
The ‘10 Sleeper: Hunter Strickland, RHP
Obtained from Boston while the organization was dumping veteran
contracts, Strickland is still raw as a pitcher but he has tons of potential.
He displays plus control with a walk rate of just 1.38 BB/9 in low-A this
season. The 21-year-old pitcher did allow a few too many hits (127 in
126.1 innings), and he has yet to develop his secondary pitches to the
point where he can rack up a lot of strikeouts (5.51 with Boston, 4.81
with Pittsburgh). Overall, he features an 89-94 fastball, a slider and a
change-up.
在海盜隊出清大拍賣的時候從Boston得到的右投，Strickland身為投
手還未成熟，但是他卻有極好的天份。今年球季他表現出了非常好的
控球，在low-A只有1.38BB/9。雖然他常常被打安打(127 / 126.1 IP)，
而且他的第二種球路也沒有成熟到可以大量三振的程度。(5.51 K/9 in
Boston, 4.81 in Pirates)整體來說，他有一顆89-94的速球，一顆滑球
跟changeup。
Bonus: Robinzon Diaz, C
Diaz was highlighted in the 2008 series as the sleeper prospect to watch
for ‘09. The catcher, who was acquired in ‘08 from Toronto, benefited
from an injury to starter Ryan Doumit this past season. Diaz
hit .279/.307/.357 in 129 at-bats. He displays almost zero power (.078
ISO) and doesn’t walk (2.3 BB%), but he makes a lot of contact (89.7%,
league average is 80.5%) and doesn’t strike out either (7.0%). He’s similar
to Vlad Guerrero in the sense that he swings – and makes contact – with
just about everything. Diaz has made huge strides in his catching over
the past few seasons.
Diaz去年便已經受到矚目。這位在08年從藍鳥得到的捕手因為Ryan
Doumit受傷而得到機會。他在129個AB中打出了.279/.307/.357的
成績。他幾乎沒有表現出任何power (.078ISO)，他也不會選球(2.3BB%)
，但是他有不錯的contact (聯盟平均80.5%，他有89.7%)，他也不常
被三振(7.0%)。就揮擊方面他有點像Vlad，什麼球他幾乎都可以有
contact。最近幾個球季他的防守大進步中。
趁著還不想睡覺就趁機翻一翻….
到時候惰性發作上來就不知道要等多久了…XDDD
一樣，有錯請不吝指教，謝謝。
p.s.排版比翻譯還辛苦…OTL
p.s.s.這次應該可以了吧...
