Angels Pre-Season Top 20 in Review By John Sickels Posted on Sat Nov 05, 2005 at 12:35:39 PM CST Angels Top 20 Pre-Season Prospects in Review 1) Casey Kotchman, 1B Struggled in the early going in Triple-A, but finished on a good note, hitting .278/.352/.484 for the Angels. A possible comp for the future: Wally Joyner. 感想：真的长成 Wally Joyner 也是相当爽啊。 :D 2) Dallas McPherson, 3B Injured for much of the year. Hit .244/.295/.449 in 61 games for the Angels. I think he will improve, but strikeouts will always be an issue. 感想：来年继续努力吧 D-Mac~~ 3) Erick Aybar, SS Hit .303/.350/.445 with 49 steals for Double-A Arkansas. Still putting the finishing touches on his game, but still a fine prospect. 感想：会不会变成交易的配角呢？ 4) Kendry Morales, 1B Hit .306/.349/.530 in 74 games for Double-A Arkansas, overcoming a slow start. Outstanding bat speed and raw power. 感想：看起来这个赌注获胜的机率越来越高 :D 5) Howie Kendrick, 2B Hit .384 in the California League, then .342/.382/.579 after promotion to Double-A. An excellent all-around hitter with improving defense. Could win batting titles. 感想：哇哈哈哈哈哈哈~~ :D 6) Jeff Mathis, C Hit .276/.340/.499 with 21 homers for Triple-A Salt Lake. Batting average is low for park/league context, but other numbers were solid. Looking more like a good regular than a possible future star, but still has lots of value. 感想：能把 Ben 的位置扛起来就好了 7) Steve Shell, RHP 10-8, 4.57 at Arkansas, with a 126/58 K/BB in 160 innings, 175 hits allowed. Mixed ratio set. K/BB is OK, other numbers less impressive. Will need a year of Triple-A, but he's only 22 and still on track for a good career. 感想：我对这个大只仔还蛮期待的 8) Ervin Santana, RHP 12-8, 4.65 in 23 starts for the Angels, 99/47 K/BB in 134 innings. A very good young pitcher. Comparables include Brad Penny and Ben Sheets. 感想：哇 Ben Sheets 和 Brad Penny 耶~ XD 希望他未来几年至少要保持健康 9) Alberto Callaspo, 2B Hit .297/.346/.409 in 89 games at Arkansas, then .316/.345/.448 in 50 games for Salt Lake. More polished than Aybar at this point, but with a lower ceiling. The Angels have great wealth in middle infield prospects. Which ones will they pick? 感想：我个人觉得或许可以当作交易的配角，不过留着至少不会是坏事 10) Brandon Wood, SS .321/.383/.672 at Class A Rancho Cucamonga, with 51 doubles, 43 homers, and 115 RBI. His BB/K/AB ratio of 48/128/536 is not ideal, but considering everything else he did this year, it's hard to see how it hurt him. Tremendous breakout season at age 20. While you can't expect 101 extra-base hits per season, I think his improvement was mostly genuine. 感想：既期待又怕受伤害 11) Dustin Moseley, RHP 4-6, 5.03 with weak 38/30 K/BB in 82 innings for Salt Lake. Hampered by injuries, and unable to trick Triple-A hitters frequently enough to overcome lack of plus stuff. Too young to give up on, but Moseley is a guy whose scouting reports have always outstripped his performance. I can no longer consider him a premium prospect. 感想：唉，又少一只期待的 pitching prospect 12) Sean Rodriguez, SS .250/.371/.422 with 14 homers, 27 steals, 78 walks at Class A Cedar Rapids. A good secondary average player, his contributions are greater than his batting average implies. No need to rush considering infielders ahead of him. 感想：总之就是慢慢来吧，前面有三个人啊 Orz 13) Kevin Jepsen, RHP Missed almost the entire year with injury. 14) Mark Trumbo, 3B Hit .274/.322/.458 with 10 homers in 71 games for short-season Orem in the Pioneer League. Good power, but a rather raw hitter who will need time to develop. 感想：这只还年轻，一样是慢慢来 15) Mike Napoli, C Hit just .237 for Arkansas, but with 31 homers, 99 RBI, and 88 walks in 131 games. Also struck out 140 times. A Mickey Tettleton-type, lots of power, will take a walk, but don't count on him to hit for much of an average. 感想：我蛮喜欢这家伙的，我们最缺就是这种打者，何况他还是个捕手 16) Abel Moreno, RHP Didn't pitch in the US this year, reportedly because of "visa problems". 17) Bob Zimmerman, RHP 17 saves, 3.32 ERA for Class A Rancho Cucamonga, with 62/27 K/BB in 60 innings. Faces the Double-A test in '06. Still projects as useful short reliever. 感想：加油啦！牛棚新希望！ 18) Maicer Izturis, SS Hit .246/.306/.346 in 77 games for the Angels. Should have a long career as a defensive substitute and utility infielder. 感想：小 Izzy 仍然是相当有用的替补 19) Warner Madrigal, OF Toolsy outfielder hit .247/.288/.420 with 15 homers for Cedar Rapids. Not a very impressive season, and his stock has dropped. Strike zone judgment an issue. 20) Baltazar Lopez, 1B Hit .314/.368/.513 for Cedar Rapids in 2004, but just .258/.313/.320 for Rancho in 2005. Production disappeared across the board. --
