Cafardo On Stanton, Swisher, Sizemore - 美國職棒

Cafardo On Stanton, Swisher, Red Sox, Sizemore

http://t.co/HeOroYOY

● Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Cubs等隊對Giancarlo Stanton有興趣，不過
現在聖上Selig對馬大魚很不爽，正在嚴密觀察馬大魚

● 紅襪正在跟Nick Swisher與他的經紀人談判。目前有相當多球隊(Rangers, Mariners
, Orioles, Phillies, Giants, Braves, Nationals...)對他有興趣。

Swisher將是代替Ross位置的不錯選擇。

● Cafardo建言：簽下Josh Hamilton或Joe Mauer，當然紅襪現在很注重財政問題，但是
大棒子能幫球隊提升打線火力而且能讓球迷high一點

● 經紀人Joe Urbon表示Grady Sizemore方面則是乏人問津。他的膝蓋不好，不過他會再
上場打球。鬼帝應該會拿到一張大/小聯盟約加上激勵條款，跟Jason Bay一樣。

● Carlos Pena或許會接受來紅襪當platoon player。

還沒確定會丟掉Loney，不過Loney只有防守能力，棒子潛力遠不如Pena

不大一樣的新秀排行榜：會考慮到階層問題，如Owens這種潛力大卻階級低，不確定性大
的新秀會排後面一點

1. Xander Bogaerts (10), age 20, shortstop: Bogaerts stood out in Greenville
in 2011. He made a believer out of us once he reached Portland in August of
this year, using a smooth swing to bat .326 with five home runs. He certainly
looks special and his fielding is just fine.

2. Ryan Lavarnway (1), 25, catcher: Once considered a project behind the
plate, Lavarnway was voted the best defensive catcher in the International
League. Works counts and shows power potential.

3. Jackie Bradley Jr. (NR), 22, outfielder: Promoted to Portland on June 20,
Bradley played the best center field Hadlock Field has seen in a long time.
Also showed an advanced batting approach, taking pitches and drawing walks.

4. Jose Iglesias (5), 22, shortstop: It looks like Iglesias will finally get
his chance to start in Boston. His glove is ready and, with patience, his bat
may become major-league worthy

5. Chris Hernandez (25), 23, pitcher: Our first darkhorse pick. Hernandez, a
lefty, does not have overpowering stuff. But he demonstrated a mature mound
presence and solid pitch variety to record a combined 3.26 ERA in Portland
and Pawtucket.

6. Bryce Brentz (9), 23, outfielder: In 122 games in Portland, Brentz batted
.296 with 17 home runs. Also performed well in Pawtucket's playoff run, and
in the Arizona Fall League. Add more polish to Brentz's batting approach and
his fielding, and he's good to go (to Boston).

7. Rubby De La Rosa (NR), 23, pitcher: Obtained in the mega-trade with the
Dodgers, De la Rosa showed an explosive fastball in 13 major league games in
2011 (3.71 ERA) before undergoing Tommy John surgery.

8. Ryan Kalish (4), 24, outfielder: After two wasted years because of injury,
Kalish may finally get his chance to be a regular and not just an emergency
fill-in.

9. Matt Barnes (15), 22, pitcher: Went 7-5 with a combined 2.86 ERA in
Greenville and Salem. The first real test comes this season in Portland.

10. Allen Webster (NR), 22, pitcher: Also dealt in the Dodgers trade, Webster
was considered Los Angeles' No. 2 prospect. Raw talent. Had 129 strikeouts
(and 61 walks) in 130 innings in Double-A last year.

11. Drake Britton (NR), 23, pitcher: Had bounce-back season this year (3.72)
in Portland. A lefty with good stuff, Britton could be close to Boston if he
keeps up his command..

12. Steven Wright (NR), 28, pitcher: Obtained from the Indians in the Lars
Anderson trade, Wright's knuckleball can be devastating at times. Had a 2.54
combined ERA in Double-A and Triple-A. Smart for the Red Sox to keep him
around.

13. Stolmy Pimentel (NR), 22, pitcher: Pimentel is entering his third season
on the 40-man roster. Brilliant at times, but inconsistent, he may get
another chance to start, or begin 2013 in the bullpen.

14. Juan Carlos Linares (NR), 28, outfielder: Another darkhorse. Maybe it's
his age, but Linares gets little attention as a prospect. Linares can hit and
hit for power. He could be major-league ready this year.

15. Josh Fields (16), 27, pitcher: Fields kept improving in the Portland
bullpen, and then put up a 0.00 ERA in 10 Pawtucket appearances. But Boston
did not put Fields on the 40-man roster and could lose him.

16. Anthony Ranaudo (7), 23, pitcher: After a strong 2011 in Class A, Ranaudo
looked like a prime prospect (see Matt Barnes), but injuries slowed him
considerably. Looking for a bounce-back 2013.

17. Henry Owens (NR), 20, pitcher: Pitched fine in Greenville after being
drafted out of high school. Too early to tell if he will match his potential.

18. Travis Shaw (NR): 22, first base: Spotlight shined on Shaw after Adrian
Gonzalez was traded. Showed signs of promise in 31 games in Portland. Will be
back at Hadlock.

19. Blake Swihart (20), 20, catcher: Promising player who improved throughout
the season in Greenville.

20. Alex Wilson (6), 26, pitcher: After a full season in the Pawtucket
bullpen (3.26 ERA), this could be Wilson's season to get a call to Fenway.

21. Brandon Workman (19), 24, pitcher: Starter who throws strikes and has
always had an ERA under 4.00. A full season in Portland will be a good test.

22. Garin Cecchini (22), 21, third base: Batted .305 in Greenville in his
first full pro season.

23. Jose Vinicio (23), 19, shortstop: Good fielder who hit .277 in Greenville.

24. Christian Vazquez (NR), 22, catcher: Fine defensive catcher who will get
a chance to demonstrate his bat at the Double-A level this season.

25. Deven Marrero (NR), 22, shortstop: Shows good tools, and batted .268 in
Lowell last year.

26. Brock Huntzinger (17), 24, pitcher: Slow, steady improvement, especially
since going to the bullpen early in 2012. Left off the 40-man roster.

27. Brandon Jacobs (11), 21, outfielder: Gifted player who hit .303 in
Greenville in 2011, but .252 in Salem this year. Hit a combined 30 home runs
over the past two seasons.

28. Jeremy Hazelbaker (29), 25, outfielder: Began to pound the ball in
Portland. The test will be how quickly he adjusts to Triple-A in 2013.

29. Alex Hassan (8), 24, outfielder: Struggled in Triple-A this year.
Injuries did not help. Still worked counts well and could be in line for an
excellent 2013.

30. Keury De La Cruz (NR), 21, outfielder: Had breakout year in Greenville,
hitting .308 with 19 home runs.
