http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/columnists/askba.html 最新出來的 Ask BA 又有球迷問到 Conor Jackson 以及 Carlos Quentin 的近況 而且這名球迷很有意思 因為他提到了與 Austin Kearn 以及 Adam Dunn 的比較 我覺得非常的有創意.... Seeing Diamondbacks outfielders Conor Jackson and Carlos Quentin destroy the minor leagues reminds me of what Austin Kearns and Adam Dunn did a few years back. What do scouts think in regards to if Jackson and Quentin have the same timetable for reaching the majors, and whether one is a more natural player than the other? Dave Wigton St. Joseph, Mo. I hadn't made the Jackson/Quentin-to-Kearns/Dunn connection before, but that's an interesting one. Cincinnati took Kearns in the first round and Dunn in the second round of the 1998 draft, while Arizona made Jackson and Quentin first-rounders a year ago. Jackson and Quentin came out of college, so they're more advanced than Kearns and Dunn were entering pro ball out of high school, but both combinations did plenty of damage to minor league pitching. Let's take a quick look at what Kearns and Dunn did in low Class A in 2000, compared to how Jackson and Quentin have fared between high Class A and Double-A this year: Kearns/Dunn, 2000 vs. Jackson/Quentin, 2004 G AVG HR RBI SB BB SO OBP SLG ------------------------------------------------------------- Kearns/Dunn, 2000 258 .294 43 183 42 190 194 .421 .517 Jackson/Quentin, 2004 173 .334 31 135 11 84 86 .432 .551 The comparison holds up well statistically. Jackson (22) and Quentin (21) are older than Kearns and Dunn (both 20) were, but they've also faced stiffer competition. Kearns and Dunn are a bit more athletic, an advantage that shows up in stolen bases. Both pairs have identical strikeout-walk ratios, with Kearns and Dunn being more prolific in both categories. Though Quentin missed all of last summer recovering from Tommy John surgery, he and Jackson still figure to arrive in Arizona at the same time, which figures to be the end of 2005 or beginning of 2006. I wouldn't characterize one as more of a natural hitter or athlete than the other. They've very similar corner outfielders, with Jackson owning a little more raw power and Quentin possessing more arm strength. D-Backs 農場中積極培養外野手 除了 Jackson 和 Quentin 之外 剛升上大聯盟的 Luis Terrero 也頗令人期待 另外還有 Josh Kroeger (AA), Marland Williams (AA) 甚至今年剛選進來的 Jonathan Zeringue (A) 都是非常有潛力的新秀.... -- ╭──── Origin:<不良牛牧場> bbs.badcow.com.tw (210.200.247.200)─────╮ │ ↘ Welcome to SimFarm BBS -- From : [203.203.37.119] │ ╰◣◣◢ ◢◢《不良牛免費撥接→電話:40586000→帳號:zoo→密碼:zoo》 ◣◣◢ ─╯
