Diamondbacks shake, rattle and roll
Arizona prospects found Lancaster to their liking in 2005
响尾蛇摇了,响了,还有滚了
亚利桑纳的潜力新秀 2005 年,在 Lancaster找寻他们的人生
Before the 2005 season began, MLB.com took an in-depth look at every big
league team's Minor League system. Now, it's time to recap all 30
organizations, from top prospects to the recent draft class.
在 2005 球季开始之前, MLB.com为每一个大联盟球队的小联盟系统作了一个
深入的探访。现在,该是从最高排名的新秀到最近的选秀年份,回来看看这三十
个系统的时候了。
The Arizona Diamondbacks' Minor League teams improved ever so slightly in
2005, inching their cumulative winning percentage from .486 in 2004 to .496,
good for a ranking of 18 out of 30 organizations. Chris Carter, Conor
Jackson, Carlos Quentin and Carlos Gonzales were among several top hitting
prospects that lived up to their billing, while Dustin Nippert's impressive
comeback from Tommy John surgery and Garrett Mock's 14-win, 160-strikeout
season were among relatively few bright spots in the pitching corps. Last
year's top pick, Stephen Drew, finally signed and got off to a blistering
start at Lancaster before hitting the wall in Tennessee. And this year's top
pick, Justin Upton, was taken first overall but had yet to sign at season's
end.
响尾蛇的小联盟球队在 2005 年进步的很缓慢,只从 2004 年的 .489 进展到
今年的 .496。这在全部 30 个球队中排名 18。Chris Carter, Conor Jackson,
Carlos Quentin 还有 Carlos Gonzalez是在前面排名的那几个新秀球员中,少
数有达到大家期待的球员;当然还加上 Dustin Nippert 令人惊艳的从 TJ 手术
中复活回来,以及 Garrett Mock 的总共 14 胜, 160次三振。这几个是在整个
投手系统里面,少数的相对比较看的到的几个人。去年的最高顺位, Stephen
Drew, 最後终於和我们签约,并且在 Lancaster杀爆投手,不过之後到了
Tennessee就撞到墙了。然後,今年第一个选的人 Justin Upton ,到球季结束
前都还没和球队签约。
Five Faves
前五个
At the start of the season, MLB.com identified five prospects to keep an eye
on. Here's how they fared in 2005:
开季的时候, MLB.com抓出了五个要持续注意的潜力新秀。我们来看看现在他们
过的怎麽样吧。
Sergio Santos, SS
The Diamondbacks had hoped their 2002 first-round pick might have his
breakout season in 2005, but the prospect of that happening was reduced
greatly when he was sent Tucson to be the Sidewinders' starting shortstop at
the age of 21. While it may not have been a surprise that he struggled at the
plate in his first season at the Triple-A level, the severity of his
struggles couldn't have been encouraging. Santos got off to a brutal start,
hitting just .171 in April, and after seeming to get acclimated in May and
June (.267-8-38), he hit .240 with only one homer and 18 RBIs in his final 58
games. Finally healthy after battling shoulder problems, the 6-foot-3,
240-pounder played 131 of 132 games at short, committing a league-high 26
errors. Perhaps most perplexing, Santos -- a right-handed swinger --
continued to show an inability to hit lefties, batting just .148 with two
homers and 11 RBIs compared to .279-10-57 vs. right-handers.
Sergio Santos, SS
响尾蛇是希望他们的 2002 年第一轮顺位在今年能够大爆发,不过他在被球队送
到土桑的 Sidewinders当先发游击手之後,整个是个鸟掉。而他只有 21 岁。虽
然他在第一季 3A 的打击卡住,可能不会太令人意外,不过他卡住的深度可能会
让人不敢领教。 Santos一开始就有点鸟,四月只有 .171,五六月是稍微强了一
点,(.267-8-38_他最後 58 场只打了一只 HR 还有 18分打点。在从肩膀伤势
康复後,六尺三, 240磅的他终於可以在队上的 132场中的 131场中先发,不过
在这之中他总共发生了联盟最高的 26 次失误。令人不解的是,右打的他竟然会
对左投一筹莫展,只有两支全垒打, .148的打击率,对右投他是 .279-10-57。
Conor Jackson, OF
Jackson finally met his match -- Major League pitching. After breezing
through Class A and Double-A in his first two seasons, 2005 was more of the
same for the former Cal star, who hit .354/.457/.553 with eight homers and 73
RBIs in 93 games at Tucson before getting called up in July. The 6-foot-2
hitting machine has batted just .197 in limited duty for Arizona, but still
looks to be one of the best young pure hitters in the game. Jackson, who was
named to the Futures Game U.S. Team, destroyed PCL pitching despite learning
a new position -- first base -- on the fly. The D-Backs still have to find a
place to play him, but his Minor League days would seem to be behind him.
Jackson终於找到他的对手了 ---- MLB的投手们。在 1A和 2A中轻骑过关之後
, 2005 对这个之前是 Cal联盟的明星球员来说,还是一样轻松自在,他打出了
.354/.457/.553,8 HR, 73RBI ,这些成绩只在 93 场里面打出来。之後他就被
叫上去大联盟了。 6尺2的他在响尾蛇有限的工作机会中,只打了 .197,不过仍
然被期待着会变成球队中最好的纯打者之一。他在杀遍了 PCL投手之後,被选入
了未来之星比赛,并且很快的在学习如何防守新位置 ---- 一垒。响尾蛇会继续
在球队上找位置给他,不过其实他还是有可能被放下去个几次。
Carlos Quentin, OF
Drafted 10 spots behind Jackson in 2003, Quentin missed his rookie season due
to Tommy John surgery and has managed to stay about 10 steps behind Jackson
ever since. He had another rock-solid season in '05, hitting .301/.422/.520
with 21 homers and 89 RBIs in 136 games for the Sidewinders -- not bad at all
for a 22-year-old in his first Triple-A season. Luis Gonzalez fully recovered
from his own Tommy John surgery, delaying Quentin's expected Major League
debut, but at 38, Gonzo's sure to be Gone-zo in the not-so distant future,
paving the way for the former Stanford star.
在 2003 年比 Jackson 晚个 10 顺位被选中。Quentin在新人年整季报销,因
为他去做 TJ 手术,所以他被排在大概 Jackson後面十步左右。他在 Sidewinders
也有个强猛的球季,136场, .301/.422/.520, 21 HR, 89 RBIs。对一个第一
年打该队的 22 岁球员来说,不错。因为 Gonzo整个从他的 TJ 中回来,所以延
後了 Quentin上来的时辰。不过 Gonzo也 38 了,在不久的将来, Gonzo就会变
成 Gone-zo,这也帮这个过去史丹佛的明星球员铺好了路。
Chris Snyder, C
The D-Backs signed veteran Kelly Stinnett in the offseason, and Snyder
figured to battle fellow youngster Koyie Hill for a roster spot. Snyder and
Hill both made the team and ended up battling for the starting spot instead,
with the former winning out. The 24-year-old former second-round pick has hit
.207 with six homers, 28 RBIs and no trips to Tucson in 110 games for Arizona.
好像有人翻过了XD
Josh Kroeger, OF
Kroeger didn't put up the eye-opening numbers he did during his half-season
with Tucson in 2004, but he did set the bar pretty high for himself last
year, when he hit .332/.376/.587 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs in just 59 games.
And while his 2005 stats (.261/.316/.422, 14 HR, 62 RBIs) aren't going to
blow anyone away, it should be considered that, even though he's in his sixth
Minor League season, for most of it he was a 22-year-old playing in Triple-A.
He also may have marginally increased his value in a speed-deprived
organization by swiping 17 bases in 21 attempts. He'd been just 24-for-59 in
his career and was thought to have slowed at least a step since being drafted.
这个也有XD
Cinderella Story
Phil Avlas, C
Avlas had his Cinderella season in 2004 with Lancaster, hitting .315 with 13
home runs and 68 RBIs in 109 games after hitting .255 with one homer and 38
RBIs in 114 games over his first two seasons. Unfortunately for Avlas, when
he went to the ball (Double-A Tennessee), he started to turn into a pumpkin
(.239/.343/.336-2-18) and had to return to Lancaster by mid ... season. Back
in the JetHawks' launching pad, he did what so many do there -- hit. The
22-year-old Californian finished off the season by batting .367/.405/.565
with five homers and 24 RBIs in 37 games. He'll probably get to try on the
glass slipper again next season. But will it fit?
Breakout year
Quick hits on players who made more of a name for themselves with big 2005
seasons.
Miguel Montero, C
Although D-Backs officials claim to have seen a breakout year coming, not
even Montero's most ambitious proponents could have foreseen what he did to
California League pitching in 2005. A career .266 hitter with 19 homers and
122 RBIs in 267 games, the 22-year-old Venezuelan hit .349 with 24 homers, 82
RBIs and a mammoth .625 slugging percentage in 85 games. Sure, his stats
paled in comparison after he was promoted to Tennessee (.250-2-13 in 30
games), and he was hitting in Lancaster, but it's hard to ignore a catcher
that can put up those gaudy numbers anywhere. Hardly looked over, the
left-handed swinging backstop was named to the 2005 Futures Game World Team.
Cesar Nicolas, 1B
A huge senior year at Vanderbilt got Nicolas selected in the fifth round of
the 2004 draft. A holdout delayed his debut until 2005, and a broken hand
cost him six of the first eight weeks of the season. But when the 6-4 first
baseman finally got to show his wares, he impressed. Nicolas hit .302 with 21
home runs and 70 RBIs during the regular season to earn All-Star status in
the Midwest League and then had a huge postseason, hitting .424 with two
homers, 10 RBIs and a .636 slugging percentage, to lead the Silver Hawks to
the league championship.
Matt Elliott, RHP
Although Elliott fared well in his first professional season, going 3-1 with
six saves and a 3.12 ERA for Missoula last year, his 2005 season proved that
short sampling period was no fluke. Signed by Arizona as a nondrafted free
agent in July 2004, the 21-year-old right-hander was a dominant closer for
South Bend this year, finishing second in the MWL with 32 saves while posting
a 2.14 ERA and holding opposing hitters to a .183 average. He also struck out
71 in 54 2/3 innings -- an average of 11.69 per nine innings.
Carlos Gonzales, OF
Just 19 years old at the conclusion of the season, Gonzales was named the
Midwest League's MVP and Prospect of the Year. Slated to play for South Bend
in 2004, the Venezuelan outfielder fractured his wrist less than a month into
the season and instead returned to Yakima. In 2005, Gonzales finished among
the league leaders in nearly every offensive category, hitting .307 with 28
doubles, six triples, 18 homers and 92 RBIs. On top of all that, he tied for
fourth with 13 outfield assists.
2005 draft recap
1. Justin Upton, SS
It was no surprise when the Diamondbacks took 17-year-old prep superstar
Justin Upton with the first overall pick in the 2005 draft. The younger
brother of the 2002 second overall selection, B.J. Upton, has yet to sign,
however, marking the second consecutive year that Arizona has had to wait to
get its first-round shortstop on the field.
2. Matt Torra, RHP
Torra rocketed up the draft charts after going 6-3 with a 1.14 ERA in 14
games for UMass last year. The 6-3 right-hander signed with the D-Backs in
late June and had a 1.80 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 10 innings before being
shelved for the season with a shoulder injury.
3. Matt Green, RHP
It took Green a while to get on track in his pro debut, but by the end of the
season, the 6-5 right-hander from University of Louisiana-Monroe was looking
pretty nasty. After going 0-3 with a 7.88 ERA in his first seven appearances,
the 2005 Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year was 4-0 with a 4.00 ERA and
34 strikeouts in his last eight starts, including one span in which he
whiffed 17 in 10 innings and another in which he didn't allow a run in 14
innings. Overall, he was 4-3 with a 5.55 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 60 innings.
4. Jason Neighborgall, RHP
The Diamondbacks took a flier on the hardest thrower available in the 2005
draft, selecting Neighborgall out of Georgia Tech in the third round, despite
the fact that the 6-5 fireballer was limited to just 6 2/3 innings in 2004
due to spectacular control problems (24 walks and 13 wild pitches with a
27.00 ERA). Considered first-round material during his high school career in
North Carolina, Neighborgall has been clocked as high as 102 mph, but has
been unable to bridle that power. Unfortunately for the D-Backs, the big
right-hander didn't fare much better in Missoula, going 1-2 with a 11.12 ERA,
45 walks and 23 wild pitches in 22 2/3 innings. There may have been a silver
lining at the very end of the year however -- Neighborgall walked just two
batters over three innings in his final two outings without uncorking a wild
pitch.
5. Micah Owings, RHP
Owings was a teammate of Neighborgall's at Georgia Tech before transferring
to Tulane, where he teamed with Brian Bogusevic to form the deadliest two-way
twosome in college baseball. When it came draft time, Owings slipped into the
third round while Bogusevic was the Astros' first pick. But Owings went
straight to Lancaster -- a daunting task for any pitcher, much less a rookie
-- and put up outstanding numbers, going 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA and 30
strikeouts in 22 innings. Bogusevic, meanwhile, went to Short-Season New
York-Penn League, where he was 0-2 with a 7.59 ERA.
2004 draft recap
How the top three from 2004 fared in their first full season of pro ball.
1. Stephen Drew, SS
Along with fellow Scott Boras client Jered Weaver, Drew signed a last-minute
deal with the D-Backs to avoid becoming eligible for the 2005 draft. The 2004
15th overall pick quickly showed why Arizona invested $5.5 million in him,
hitting .417 with two homers, eight RBIs and nine runs in his first week with
Lancaster, earning the California League Offensive Player of the Week award.
He would win the honor three times in an eight-week span and was promoted to
Double-A Tennessee after hitting .389 with 10 homers and 39 RBIs in 38 games.
Drew suffered from a common bout of post-Lancaster deflation as he hit just
.218 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 27 games with the Smokies.
2. Jon Zeringue, OF
Yet another case of the post-Lancaster blues, the Diamondbacks' 2004
second-round pick saw his average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage
plummet drastically after a huge rookie campaign with the JetHawks in which
he hit .335 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs in 56 games. With the Smokies in '05,
the LSU product hit just .241 with six roundtrippers and 51 RBIs in 126
games. His slugging percentage fell over 200 points from .552 to .342, while
his OBP dropped nearly 100 points from .374 to .283. Defensively, he made 12
errors in right field -- four more than any other outfielder in the Southern
League. The good news: He gunned down 18 runners, which was one off the
league lead.
3. Garrett Mock, RHP
Considering that 40 percent of his starts and innings pitched were in
Lancaster's Clear Channel Stadium, Mock's 14-7 mark and 4.18 ERA were
phenomenal. He pitched about as well as can possibly be expected at home,
going 6-2 with a 4.76 ERA and was 8-5 with a 3.80 mark on the road. Only five
pitchers in Minor League Baseball racked up more wins than the former Houston
Cougar, and only 10 pitched more innings (174 1/3). The 6-foot-4 right-hander
led the Cal League and D-Backs organization in strikeouts with 160.
