Marco Hernandez, Lester, Zeke Spruill - 美國職棒

1. http://t.co/6sLMfjkDnp

小熊補上Doubront交易案的PTBNL： SS Marco Hernandez

外界曾預測他會是Rule 5被選走的候選人，安全後送來紅襪

22歲的Hernandez在High-A Daytona .270/.315/.351, 3 HR, 22SB (30SBA)

原先是左右開弓但放棄了右打，有嚴重被左殺的問題 (v RHP .288/.334/.387
v LHP .227/.267/.266)

球探對他的防守評價很高，被形容為「飛人」；打擊就...

天花板是工具人(有守過一些二、三壘)，預計下季從海狗隊出發


2. http://t.co/k2k4ADWMEQ Miley交易案細節 for 響尾蛇迷

Raymel Flores：

- '11用$900k簽下的游擊手
- 防守優異
- plus-plus speed，不過盜壘失敗率有點高 (28SB-13CS)
- 身材瘦小、炮瓦非常小，揮棒軌跡短、contact-oriented但是力氣小到揮棒速度過慢
- 選球有問題、打擊策略不佳
- 今年被同位置的Mauricio Dubon擠開
- 防守能力與多功能性讓他有機會成為工具人，至於可能性則要看打擊能不能救到堪用
等級


3. 另一筆跟小蛇的交易案：送走RHP Myles Smith，換到RHP Zeke Spruill

Cherington認為'11~'13比較貼近真實的Masterson，「我們認為他是先發投手。」

Masterson: "I'm 100% confident we'll be good to go."

投球步調： Miley (4th) and Masterson (14th)

Porcello跟Kelly都很慢

Buchholz嘛...

有趣的觀點：

「研究指出過去幾年來好球帶下降了一顆球的直徑。」

而...

(1) Pablo Sandoval生涯打高度低於膝蓋的球：.321打擊率
(2) Hanley Ramirez則是.283；打好球帶底下三格則是.346
(3) 滾飛比： Masterson (1.33)
Porcello (1.12)
Miley (0.96)

League Average: 0.8

(*) GM會議上出現了曖昧的回答

White Sox GM Rick Hahn smiled broadly. “I’m not sharing anything about that,
” he said. “It’s a good question.”

Indians GM Chris Antonetti changed the subject. “I’m going to stay away
from that level of detail,” he said. “I’d prefer to keep things on the
macro level.”

Pirates GM Neal Huntington opened the door a crack. “We’ve got some things
that we believe in and we make some moves that some people scratch their
heads at because it doesn’t seem to fit our prototype,” he said. “But in
our minds, the best teams continue to evolve and find talent in various
areas, and continue trying to find value where others don’t.”

17. http://t.co/jeEmxYay3F 兩度擦身而過的三壘手： Lonnie Chisenhall

- 紅襪在簽下熊貓之前考慮過盤來Chisenhall

- 2008年選秀會上，30順位的紅襪看到洋基(28 th)選了Gerrit Cole之後，準備要選
Chisenhall。選前一天Chisenhall還去芬威玩，球團偷偷問他有沒有球隊在關注他
他也說沒有。

正當Jason McLeod & Theo Epstein準備跟Henry說第一輪是Chisenhall的時候，
Jed Hoyer匆匆忙忙跑出去告訴大家壞消息：「印地安人把Chisenhall攔走了！」

‘What? You’ve got to be kidding me!’

最後紅襪選了當時upside最高的Casey Kelly
