※ 引述《abc12812 ()》之銘言： : After the Diamondbacks withdrew their offer to first-round pick Barret Loux : last summer due to concerns with his shoulder and elbow, they pursued two later : picks with the extra money. They were unsuccessful in steering lefthander Kevin : Ziomek away from Vanderbilt but signed Linton for 1.25M at the Aug. 16 : deadline, after he had already started football practice at North Carolina. : He's extremely athletic and is an above-average runner, with plus bat speed and : raw power. He draws Matt Holliday comparisons for his physicality. The : Diamondbacks still aren't sure exactly what kind of player they're getting : because, as a two-sport athlete, Linton never dedicated himself completely to : baseball. It was obvious in instructional league that he was still in football : shape. The big question mark with Linton is his swing, as some scouts saw him : as a front-foot hitter in high school. During instructional league, coaches : worked with him to improve the rhythm of this swing in order to get the lower : half and the upper half working together. His arm strength has already : improved, from below-average when he signed to average in instructional league. : He profiles as a corner outfielder and is learning the nuances of defensive : play as well. Linton will start the year in extended spring training before : heading to one of the Diamondbacks' short-season teams for his official pro : debut. 當小蛇因為第一輪的Loux的手肘和肩膀問題而放棄追他的時候，他們就有了 閒錢可以簽下兩個第二輪後段的球員了。他們沒有成功的把左投Ziomek從 Vanderbilt 簽下來，不過在八月16號死線之前，在他已經開始練美式足球之後，用1.25M 簽下了Linton。他有非常好得運動力，且是個超過平均的跑者，有著有快得揮棒速 度和純粹的力量。有些人把他的身體素質和 Holliday相比。響尾蛇當前仍然不知道 他得到了什麼球員，因為他是個兩棲球員，他從來沒有完全把自己投入棒球。 他在指導聯盟的時候，顯然的還有著美式足球的身材。他的問題在於揮棒， 有些球探認為他高中是個前腳打者。在指導聯盟的時候，教練和他一起增強他揮棒的 韻律以讓他的上下半身一起打球。他的臂力已經增強了，從他被簽下的低於平均到 指導聯盟是一般了。他被認為是個兩邊的外野手，且開始瞭解那些守備的細微之處。 他今年還會在加入任何一個短期的比賽球季之前，從延長春訓中開始。 --
