KL Top 25 under25,BA top 100, BP top 50 - 美國職棒

BP TOP 50

2. Yoan Moncada, 2B, Boston Red Sox
Why He'll Succeed: An explosive power/speed combination that propels him to
stardom despite a non-premium defensive position.

Why He Might Fail: His shirts could become tighter and tighter until he earns
Dan Uggla comparisons as a shirt-wearer and a baseball player.

11. Andrew Benintendi, OF, Boston Red Sox
Why He’ll Succeed: The roaring start to Benintendi’s pro career is indicative
of a player who has rapidly—and in some cases unexpectedly—grown into a
hitter capable of maintaining a high average, getting on base, and slugging
the ball.

Why He Might Fail: Advanced arms figure out how to sequence against and
manipulate an aggressive hitter who can’t counter with his own adjustment.

19. Rafael Devers, 3B, Boston Red Sox
Why He'll Succeed: He maintains his lower half and defensive range enough to
stick at the hot corner, where his plus hit and power tools make for a
special profile.

Why He Might Fail: He could gain weight in his lower half, forcing a shift
to first base, where the power and hit tools aren’t quite as special.

24. Anderson Espinoza, RHP, Boston Red Sox
Why He'll Succeed: Espinoza’s stuff is ridiculously advanced for his age/lack
of experience, showing a plus-plus fastball and two plus secondary pitches
while throwing strikes with all three.

Why He Might Fail: Calling him slight of build is an understatement, and as
good as the stuff is, you have to wonder if he’s going to be able to handle
the rigors of a 180-200 inning workload.



BA TOP 100

1. Yoan Moncada 2b
Red Sox So far, Moncada has managed to live up to the hype generated by his
$31.5 million signing bonus.

9. Andrew Benintendi of
Red Sox Benintendi’s combination of batting eye, power and defense is
pretty special.

15. Anderson Espinoza rhp
Red Sox The youngest player in the South Atlantic League has flashed
brilliance; remember, he’s just 18.

41. Rafael Devers 3b
Red Sox Boston’s No. 2 prospect entering the season has shown ability
to rebound after slow start; still just 19.

93. Michael Kopech rhp
Red Sox Kopech has barely pitched this year thanks to hand and calf
injuries, but when he has his fastball remains elite.

Keith Law top 25 under 25

Xander came in at 7th
Bogaerts can hit, and he's starting to come into some of the raw power
that everyone saw when he first emerged as a prospect in short-season ball.
The ball has always come off his bat differently, but he focused more on
developing as a hitter, using the whole field and giving up some harder
contact in the process. This year, he has been more aggressive about pulling
the ball -- all nine of his homers have been to left field -- and if he keeps
that up, he'll be a 25-homer guy on top of everything else he does well.

Mookie 11th
Betts' second full season has still been outstanding but has taken on a
different shape than his first, with more power (he's on pace for 30-plus
homers, which I never expected), fewer walks and a slight bump in strikeout
rate. Given his age and athleticism, however, nothing should surprise us as
Betts is concerned. He has shown that he can play elite defense in right field,
can play at least average defense in center and could fill in in the middle
infield, if required. Bogaerts is the more polished hitter and can really
play shortstop, which is why he's higher on the list, but Betts has more
wild-card upside because of his athleticism and the speed with which he
seems to pick up new skills.

BA Top 100 chat

Dean Gulberry (Jenks, OK): Why has Anderson Espnizoa been getting "hit"
as of late? Is he having issues with FB control? I realize he is only 18,
but there was chatter that he could be the next Julio Urias and make the
bigs by 19.. I can't see that happening..

John Manuel: Sorry if this shows up twice, I got booted off … Short answer
is he’s probably tired. I was stunned when Bill Ripken, on our Prospects
Show on MLB Network coming into the year, talked about Espinoza moving that
quickly, being up in 2017, and I suppose it’s still not out of the question.
But We probably all got a bit too excited. He’s not quite physical enough for
the grind of a full season, in terms of maintaining his stuff and his delivery.


Jack (San Jose): Of the big four Red Sox prospects (Moncada, Benintendi,
Espinoza, and Devers), who is the most likely to go at the deadline?
Vincent Lara-Cinisomo: I’d have to say Devers simply because I cannot see
the scenario under which they trade Moncada, Benintendi or Espinoza. Maybe
for Jose Fernandez?


Keith LAW的TOP 25 under 25第一 Mike Trout 第二 Bryce Harper 第三我猜應該是
Machado,蠻好奇其他的有誰,但不是免費,就不想花錢看了,內容也是一些大家都知道的
分析而已,(XB跟Betts的部分則是從sox prospect版友貼的複製過來的)


個人認為我們的前4名新秀,Benintendi沒啥大問題,他Bust的機率應該非常低,
但其他3個都各自有要改善的地方


Moncada A+ 61場被K 60次,AA 15場被K 18次,優點是才21歲,各方面的Tool都很強

Anderson Espinoza跟Rafael Devers排名有點高,尤其Devers

Espinoza天花板高,但還是有不小的風險,身材不夠高壯也不夠耐操,耐操的問題還可以
透過訓練改善,才18歲的他再接下來A+~AA是否能挺上來也有待時間證明,回去看KING
在小聯盟一路殺上來,19歲上大聯盟實在很不可思議

Devers是我比較不看好的,他蠻常被變化球騙到,雖然他還年輕,但從身材看,他的砲瓦
成長空間有限,20轟還有可能,再往上應該比較難,守備方面,他的腳步不好,橫向移動跟
動作都不夠順,守3B太勉強,要轉到1B/DH,砲瓦又不夠大隻,我覺得BP排他19有點高估


Kopech雖然評價沒這幾個高,但是整體素質跟身材都非常好,或許沒Espinoza的天花板,
但是整體看來,除了腦衝問題以外,Stuff問題不大,去年年初就能看出他有明顯的進步

當初選秀時的影片

去年的影片
http://t.co/QTx9kBiVVT

看選秀時期跟去年年初的影片,很明顯他的Mechanic調得更順更穩定,而且身材比當初壯
很多

看到他的速球應該會有人怕他會不會跟Joe Kelly一樣空有球速,個人認為應該不會,
他的身材條件真的不錯 6呎3吋,從以下影片看來,身高+高壓投球姿勢,以他投球的
進壘角度,打者不好掌握

版友貼的近期9球3K影片
http://m.milb.com/video/907325483/?vref=redirector

個人是認為他的條件比當初的Matt Barnes好,不要肩炸或是又腦殘跟隊友吵架弄傷手
的話,最差的情況應該是個地板Setup man天花板上看2號(一般應該認為天花板3號吧,
個人是比較看好一點)
