Fields - the college closer out of Georgia. His hometown Braves made him a second-round pick back in 2007, but surprisingly, they were unable to come to an agreement. He returned to college for his senior year and substantially improved his draft stock, earning a $1.75M bonus from the Mariners as the 20th overall pick in the 2008 draft. Fields was expected to advance quickly, but his progress was derailed by command issues, as he walked right around six batters per nine innings in each of his first three professional seasons. His velocity was also lower than it had been in college, and he experienced "dead arm" periods. In 2011, the Mariners gave up on him, sending him to the Red Sox in the Erik Bedard trade. The change of scenery appears to have done all the good in the world, as Fields enjoyed a breakout 2012. He was dominant at AA, with a 2.62 ERA and a 59/16 K/BB in 44 2/3 IP, and then he posted a 19/2 K/BB in ten scoreless late-season scoreless at AAA. His fastball was back up to the upper 90s, and he was throwing his plus curve for strikes. Fields's short stature means that he has a lot of effort in his delivery, and keeping his mechanics in order will be the key going forward. It's not a given that he'll be able to do so - he's currently playing winter ball in the DWL, and at the time I write this, he's already walked seven batters in six innings. If he can sustain the progress he made this year, he's one of the more ML-ready pitchers available in this year's draft, and he could end up as a quality setup man. == Nate Freiman, 1B, R/R, 6'7", 225 lbs, DOB 10/35/86 - SAN DIEGO 教士的一垒炮，身材巨大，今年在2A干了24本，选球不错 代表以色列打WBC对西班牙打了双响炮，25岁相对老 I know that San Diego doesn't exactly have a crying need at first base right now, but even so, I'm genuinely surprised that the Padres didn't protect Freiman. A college pick out of Duke, and that school's career home run leader, he's arguably the best member of a small cluster of 1B prospects currently stuck at the upper levels of San Diego's farm system (along with Matt Clark and Cody Decker - both of whom are also eligible for the Rule 5 draft this year). Freiman is an impressive physical specimen, currently listed at 6'7" and sometimes billed as an inch taller in the earlier stages of his career. As an amateur, he played catcher, which certainly must have been a sight to see. Freiman hits for power and average, and for such a big man, he's shown fairly good plate coverage, with only 95 Ks in 581 PAs at AA last season. He drew a lot of attention this fall as the first baseman for the Israeli national team in the WBC qualifiers, where he hit four home runs in only 13 at-bats, on his way to a .417/.533/.1.417 batting line. His size limits him defensively to first base and makes him a below-average runner. His long wingspan gives him a good reach when receiving throws, though, and his hands are reasonably soft. He's regarded as a hard worker and a player with good character. The only real negative on his profile is his age relative to level, and as a senior sign, there's not much he could have done about that. I could see Freiman adding immediate value in 2013 as a bench bat, with the possibility that he might grow into a starter a year or two down the road. -- 用不上就交给你们了 --
