9) Micah Owings, RHP Background: The Rockies drafted Owings in the second round in 2002 after he made a run at the national high school career home run record. A two-way star at Georgia Tech, he fell to the 19th round (Cubs) in 2004 because of signability concerns. After transferring to Tulane and leading the Green Wave in homers and pitching strikeouts in 2005, he went in the third round and signed for $440,000. 背景：在缔造高中生涯全垒打纪录後，落矶队在2002年在第二轮选了Owings。进入Georgia Tech成为投打双栖明星，但在2004年因为未知可否签下，而掉到第19轮才被小熊队挑走。 转学到Tulane後，在2005年全垒打数及三振数领先全队，因而在第三轮被响尾蛇挑中，拿 到了44万美元的签约金。 Strengths: Scouts long preferred Owings’ power arm to his bat, and he showed why in his pro debut. He saw his fastball jump to 94-97 mph as a reliever. He also made some adjustments with his mid-80s slider, which became a plus pitch with late downward break. He’s an aggressive strike-thrower who’s not afraid to work inside. 优势：球探们喜欢他的强肩远胜他的打击，而他在职业初登场明白的展现原因。他的球速 在中继时可达94─97英哩，他也针对可达mid-80s的滑球做些许调整，使它变成很晚才变化 的良好武器。他是个具侵略性的投手，对於攻击内角毫不惧怕。 Weaknesses: Owings’ changeup is average at best, and will be his point of emphasis when he returns to the rotation in 2006. He still needs to mature from thrower to pitcher, working harder on setting hitters up instead of challenging them on every pitch. 缺点：Owings的变速球顶多是个平均水准的球种，这将会是他2006年重返先发轮值的重点 所在。他仍需要更加成熟，从丢球者变成投手，多用心於诱使打者掉进他的投球策略而并 非球球挑战打者。 The Future: Arizona believes Owings could move quickly as a reliever but offers more value as a starter. He’ll most likely open 2006 in the Lancaster rotation. 未来：响尾蛇队相信Owings如果在中继投手的位置上会有较快的升迁，但在先发投手的位 置上更能突显其价值。他2006年可能会在Lancaster的先发轮值出发。 == 标题好像看不到Orz --
