Diamondbacks boast a pair of shortstops likely on fast track from unrefined prospects to finely polished major leaguers 響尾蛇正在加速兩個在小聯盟裡面的游擊手，變成成熟大聯盟選手的路。 Bob McManaman The Arizona Republic Mar. 14, 2006 12:00 AM They're young, they're talented, they come from rich baseball family traditions and some day, perhaps not far from now, they will find themselves on the 25-man roster with the Diamondbacks. 他們很年輕，他們很有天分，他們從有家族棒球傳統的家庭中出生，也許 在不遠的將來，他們會在響尾蛇的 25 人名單裡面找到自己的名字。 What will the club do with two highly touted shortstops who seem destined for long, successful careers in the major leagues? 這個球隊會怎樣對待這兩個非常有天分，似乎會在大聯盟裡面會待很久 而且很成功的球員？ Stephen Drew and Justin Upton are as eager to discover that as are fans, management, coaches, players and baseball pundits everywhere. 特魯和阿普頓和其他球迷、管理者、教練、球員還有一堆自稱棒球權威 的人一樣，都很想知道。 Drew's agent, Scott Boras, has said his client, who turns 23 on Thursday, could become the next Alex Rodriguez. Those familiar with Upton, 18, are convinced he may be the best total package the sport has seen in more than 20 years. 特魯的經紀人， $cott Bora$，說他那個禮拜四滿二十三歲的客戶，可 能是下一個 A-Rod 。同樣的，18 歲的阿普頓也是被宣稱可能是近二十年 來最棒的全方位球員。 Upton, the No. 1 overall pick in 2005, was graded out as the best athlete, best five-tool player, best pure hitter, fastest base runner, best defensive player and closest to the majors in Baseball America's 2005 draft preview issue. 2005年第一輪第一順位選秀的阿普頓，在 BA 的選秀前預估中，是最佳 運動力、最棒的五類工具球員、最棒的純打者、跑壘最快、防守最好，而 且是被評估和大聯盟最近的球員。 Drew's credentials were nearly that glossy before Arizona tabbed him with its first-round pick in 2004, and manager Bob Melvin already has indicated the rookie is close to being major league ready, as early as this season. 特魯在 2004 被響尾蛇選之前的說法其實也差不多，而且監督梅爾文指 出這個幼齒已經差不多要準備上大聯盟了，最快可能就是本季。 They are the diamonds of the Diamondbacks, the crown jewels of a deep list of prized prospects. Watching them develop should be just as fun as watching them strike it big at the highest level. 他們是響尾蛇的鑽石，是一狗票被稱為很有前途的新秀中，那個皇冠上 的寶石。看他們長大就會像看他們在高階聯盟中屠殺一樣好玩。 （下面是響尾蛇當天的戰報，就不理他了自己看XD） D-Backs report At Tucson Electric Park Diamondbacks 7, Giants 4.
