Gurriel, 32, is a .335/.417/.580 hitter : in 15 professional seasons between Cuba and Japan and should only need a few : weeks of tune-up at-bats in the minor leagues. : http://bit.ly/29P8wym : 太空人以5年47.5M簽下先前成為自由球員的古巴32歲內野手 : 生涯都在古巴聯賽也短暫待過日職，多年來國際賽幾乎都看的到他的身影 : 好友Cespedes也大力推薦"He was the best player in Cuba" : so..最近升上3A且打得不錯的Bregman未來要何去何從? 這隻現在在延長春訓 因為他的工作簽證沒下來 所以沒辦法打小聯盟比賽 一切順利的話球團應該是希望他8月中可以上到大聯盟 不過我想可能不會這麼樂觀 我看九月擴編前是比較合理的預測 下面是BA的球探報告 Age: 30. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-0. Wt.: 196. Certainty Level: Category 5 (Very High). Gourriel has been a star in Cuba for more than a decade. He debuted in Serie Nacional as a 17-year-old and winning MVP awards at age 20 and 21 in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. A veteran of the Cuban national team, Gourriel ranked as the No. 1 player in Cuba entering the 2014-15 season in August and retains that top spot thanks to a well-rounded skill set. After a strong summer with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan, Gourriel took time off early in the Serie Nacional season when he returned to Cuba. When he was back on the field, he was still one of the most productive players in Serie Nacional. Gourriel has all the attributes to be an above-average offensive player. He has plus bat speed and squares up all types of pitches with good hand-eye coordination and barrel control. He wraps his barrel behind his head, angling the bat toward the pitcher, but he gets the barrel into the hitting zone quickly and has good plate coverage. He stays within the strike zone and uses the whole field, and with plus raw power on the 20-80 scale, he offers a balance of being able to hit for average, get on base and hit for power. When Gourriel plays for his Industriales team in Cuba, he’s a third baseman, which is the position he’s held on the Cuban national team for several years. However, at his last two international tournaments—the Central American and Caribbean Games in November and the Caribbean Series in February—he’s played second base, a position he has history playing earlier in his career. His best fit is at third base, where he is an above-average defender. He’s athletic, agile and has quick reactions off the bat. He draws some criticism from scouts for mental lapses, but he has good hands and range for the position, along with a 70 arm. A fringe-average runner, Gourriel’s range is better suited for third base than second, though his instincts, high baseball IQ and body control help and would make him playable there if a major league team wanted to use him at second. They have different body types, but Gourriel would have similar value to Hanley Ramirez and David Wright in terms of age and offensive performance if he were to leave Cuba to pursue a major league contract. ※ 編輯: FreeFly (125.227.232.187), 07/24/2016 16:46:16
