D-Backs loaded with top prospects By Jack Magruder, Tribune March 16, 2006 Baseball America is high on the Diamondbacks’ young talent. The D-Backs have six players among the top 32 major league prospects according to the March 13-26 issue of Baseball America, considered a top industry source. BA對於響尾蛇的年輕新秀期待很高，響尾蛇在BA的評比裡面有六個在前 32 名裡面，而BA被認為是這個產業裡面最強的消息來源。 “It’s exciting to see the depth of young position players we have here,” D-Backs manager Bob Melvin said. The D-Backs’ last two first-round draft picks, shortstops Justin Upton and Stephen Drew, are ranked second and fifth, respectively. 響尾蛇監督沒耳聞說：「看到你的農場裡面有這麼深的深度是令人覺得 很興奮的。」 響尾蛇麼去年和前年的選秀，游擊手阿普頓和特魯，分別在第二和第五。 Upton was the first player taken in last June’s draft while Drew, because of signability concerns, was the 15th pick in the 2004 draft. Many scouts consider Upton and Drew the top two players in the last two draft classes. 阿普頓是去年全部第一個被選的球員，特魯因為不知道簽不簽的下來， 所以一路掉到了第十五去。 很多球探認為阿普頓和特魯是去年和前年最棒的兩個球員。 “If you stick him (Upton) in center field right now, he could be an All-Star in two years,’’ an anonymous scout told Baseball America. Conor Jackson, who will open the season as the D-Backs’ starting first baseman, is rated No. 17 while right fielder Carlos Quentin is rated No. 20. Both were first-round draft choices in 2003. 某個不具名的球探跟 BA 說：「如果阿普頓繼續中路發展，他會在兩年之內 變成明星球員。」 康納捷克森，這個會在今年響尾蛇當先發一壘手的人，被評為 17 名，另一個 2003年的第一輪選秀， Carlos Quentin ，是20名。 Center fielder Chris Young is ranked No. 23, and right fielder Carlos Gonzalez is ranked No. 32. 中外野手羊是 23 ，右外野手 Gonzalez是32。 No other major league team has three prospects among the top 39. Tampa Bay outfielder Delmon Young is ranked No. 1 by Baseball America, while current Los Angeles Angel and former Horizon High School shortstop Brandon Wood is ranked No. 3. 其他隊伍在前 39 名之前都不超過三個。 魔鬼魚的外野手帶蒙˙洋是BA的第一名，另外天使隊的不藍燈五得，他是從 地平線高中畢業的游擊手。 “I don’t think I’ve been in an organization that has as many talented position players as we do,” Melvin said. Barring injuries or trades, Drew, Quentin and Young are expected to open the season at Triple-A Tucson. Upton is tentatively scheduled to start at Class A South Bend, where Gonzalez played last season. Gonzalez, 20, was named the MVP in the Midwest League after hitting .307 with 18 home runs and 92 RBIs. He was signed as a nondrafted free agent from Venezuela in 2002. 沒有文說：「我不認為我曾經在一個有這麼多年輕強者的球隊裡面待過。」 假如沒有受傷或交易的話，特滷、昆丁、羊三個人被認為開季會在三A的圖 商出發。 阿普頓可能會在1A的南班得， Gonzalez去年在那裡。 二十歲，去年是中西聯盟的 MVP，打了 .307、18HR、92RBI的 Gonzalez， 他是在 2002 年從偉內瑞拉簽下來的自由球員。 --
