System in 20 Words or Less: As enviable a trio of starters as any team, but
system leans on hopes of exceedingly young talent from there.

Five-Star Prospects
1.  Taijuan Walker, RHP

2.  Danny Hultzen, LHP

Four-Star Prospects

3.  James Paxton, LHP

4.  Nick Franklin, SS

Three-Star Prospects：
5.  Jose Campos, RHP
6.  Guillermo Pimentel, OF
7.  Francisco Martinez, 3B
8.  Vinnie Catricala, 3B/1B/OF
9.  Chih-Hsien Chiang, OF
10. Chance Ruffin, RHP
11. Phillips Castillo, OF


Nine More：

12. Alex Liddi, 3B: Liddie has tremendous power, but it comes with poorhitting skills, tons of strikeouts, and questionable defense.

13. Martin Peguero, SS: This teen has plenty of tools, but few arestar-level.

14. Brad Miller, 2B: This second-round pick is a grinder with a line-drivebat.

15. Erasmo Ramirez, RHP: Ramirez has fantastic command, but is the stuffenough?

16. Carter Capps, RHP: Capps has a power arm and power body, but a relief projection.

17. Dan Cortes, RHP: He has too much power stuff to be a Quad-A reliever, but Cortes’ big-league struggles are a concern.

18. Brandon Maurer, RHP: Some scouts love Maurer as a sleeper. This 6-foot-5reliever can get up to 96 mph.

19. Stephen Pryor, RHP: He bounced back with a huge second half. Pryor has a plus-plus fastball but needs more.

20. Forrest Snow, RHP: Snow will be a fast mover thanks to a fastball withvelocity and sink. He could pitch in big leagues in 2012, but he has aseventh-inning ceiling.

前四名應該會是明年各家百大新秀的水手固定成員。

Rising Star Game官網新聞

Seattle prospects lead West to Rising Stars win

Royals farmhands also contribute in AFL showcase

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The game could not been more appropriately named.

It definitely lived up to its billing.

Several of the top prospects in the game shone bright Saturday as the West
Division powered past the East Division, 11-2, in the sixth annual Arizona
Fall League Rising Stars Game at Surprise Stadium.

It was a night of hits, misses, strikes and surprises.

And stars, of course.

The highly anticipated showdown on the mound between the West's Gerrit Cole
(Pittsburgh), the first overall pick in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, and
the East's Danny Hultzen (Seattle), the second overall pick in the 2011
First-Year Player Draft, was overshadowed by the West's offensive onslaught,
led by Seattle shortstop prospect Nick Franklin.

Franklin, selected in the first round in 2009 by Seattle, finished 4-for-5
with a home run on a memorable night in Arizona. Franklin's four hits, two
doubles, four RBIs and three extra-base hits all set new Rising Stars Game
records. His team finished with 16 hits in the game.

"It was really fun," Franklin said. "We had some fans and were enjoying the
experience beforehand. We went out there to have a good time and started to
put some runs on the board. We started having some fun in the dugout, and it
carried over."

Hultzen did his part, and there's no doubt that the front office in Seattle
is feeling content right about now. The left-hander struck out the side on 14
pitches in the first inning and did not allow a hit in his two innings
pitched. His lone blemish was a one-out walk to Washington's Bryce Harper in
the second inning.

"It was a real honor to get selected for this," Hultzen said. "It was
exciting. There was a big crowd and a lot of fans. I felt good out there."

How much did Hultzen enjoy the game? Well, he spent several minutes after the
game signing autographs and greeting fans.

Thirty minutes later, he was still smiling.

The Royals also had a hand in the resounding victory. Wil Myers played right
field and went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs, and Christian Colon was 1-for-2
with two runs scored. Jeremy Jeffress struck out all three batters he faced,
including Harper.

Cole did not fare as well. He pitched only two-thirds of the first inning
before he was replaced by Steve Ames (Dodgers). In all, Cole was charged with
five runs on four hits. He threw 29 pitches and only 16 of them were strikes.

Cole was still able to walk away from Surprise Stadium feeling optimistic.

"I'm going to go back and look at it, but they seem to hit us all pretty
well," Cole said with a smile. "It was a fun atmosphere. Even though I didn't
pitch well, I was still able to enjoy that part of it. I was excited, but it
didn't go as planned. You move on."

Including Hultzen and Cole, the game featured 17 first-round picks. The top
two outfield prospects in the game, Harper and Mike Trout (Angels) finished
0-for-2 and 1-for-3, respectively, for the East Division.

Overall, Brian Dozer, the eight-round pick for the Twins in 2009, paced the
East squad by going 1-for-2 with a home run. Junior Lake, signed by the Cubs
as a non-drafted free agent in 2007, and Tim Wheeler, Colorado's first-round
pick in 2009, were the only other East players with a hit.

By contrast, the West had four players with at least two hits. After the
five-run first inning, the West tacked on another run in the second inning
and scored four more runs in the third. The game was out of reach when it
scored its final run in the fifth for an 11-2 lead.

The hits kept coming, it seemed, and so did the pitchers. In all, the teams
combined to use 19 pitchers, who combined to strike out 18 batters.

"Our starter set the tone and the rest of the guys followed him," said West
pitching coach Derrick Lewis, who coaches in the Atlanta system. "He was
pounding down in the zone and it became contagious. The same way hitting can
become contagious is the same way pitching can be contagious. We were just
sending them out there and they were getting the job done."

Lewis is only partly correct in his assessment. In the end, the showdown
between Cole and Hultzen was not much of a showdown at all.

"I didn't think of it like that," Hultzen said. "It was a little different
being in a game like this where you only pitch a couple of innings. I'm sure
people talked about it, but I didn't take it like that. Our offense played
really well and that's what I was thinking."

Danny Hultzen跟Nick Franklin這次獲得的評價都不錯

Hultzen的控球精準度依然相當好
變速球應該有plus的水準，今天最快球速也達到95mph
如果維持這個水準，左投＋Safeco這個優勢
站穩二號應該是綽綽有餘
剩下的疑問就是他的耐戰度，還有他什麼時候可以上得來
Felix-Pineda-Hultzen這個前三號，應該可以在2013正式成形
（全農場的前三號，看起來頗爽）

Nick Franklin是今天最大的意外
在AFL表現不好的他，今天完全是奇兵
第一局的那隻HR，面對95 mph的中間低位置速球，uppercut打出中左外野
接下來的兩隻二壘安打，一隻是腰帶附近拉到右外野
一隻也是uppercut打到左外野牆邊，再多個幾公尺就又出牆了
不過我是希望他揮棒速度更提昇，多用一點拉打
他今天兩隻反方向長打如果在Safeco很可能都是接殺出局
守備也表現的不錯，還滿乾淨俐落的
站在SS這個位置應該不會有問題，只要不要得意忘形自己搞笑失誤...-_-

另外插播：就在大家持續關注Hultzen跟Walker這兩隻頂尖投手新秀
什麼時候能頂上西雅圖投手陣的輪值時
Erasmo Ramirez用他的表現提醒大家：他也是未來輪值的有力競爭者
他在委內瑞拉冬聯目前拿下2W1L
20 2/3 IP，1.74 ERA，0.87 Whip，17H，12K，1BB
又是個控球魔人XD
前三號我是不敢期待，不過四號頗有機會的

Liddi跟Saunders的成績....慘不忍睹
Liddi在44個打數只打了6支安打
這禮拜打完就不打了，球隊覺得他打完一整季比賽後太累了
接下來要看到他應該是明年春訓的事

Saunders....我已經不知道該說什麼了
0.178的AVG？你要不要乾脆直接告訴球隊你明年不用玩了？
去年不到300AB就幹出10發HR，結果打擊姿勢一改完整個爛掉-_-
再這樣搞下去，我不知道他哪天會被踢出去
當年備受我們期待的潛力新秀搞成這樣，實在還滿難過的

不管你對這個球季有不滿、有期待、有高興或是任何心情，這個球季
已經結束；帶著一份不好看的成績單、大家不爽到極點的總教練以及
全聯盟倒數第三的戰績，帶走明年的第三順位選秀籤。可預見的是球
探組又要開始動起來，還有明年一、二月開始，由本版新秀情報頭頭
 andynanpaㄉㄉ為首的本版新秀探子團，又要開始翻外電找文章，然
後開始戰一下明年第三順位選誰比較好；或是找個公認的衰神站出來
，把他想選的全部點名，剩下的那一個我們就選他這樣....（喂）


在球季結束前，JZ拿到了一份確定延長合約。綜觀這三年來，JZ的交
易、簽約、找教練團及引進一些新的觀念跟訓練方式，有好有壞，或
許稱他為頂尖GM是有些抬舉了他，但是在整個聯盟的GM中，稱他有中
上水平卻不過份。尤其在他前面那一位強大的對照組配合之下，JZ要
想做得更爛，實在也不是太簡單的一件事。

經過三年生聚教訓，就算是有四年豬頭Ba遺毒，明年開始JZ對於球隊
戰績已經沒有太多的藉口，就算沒辦法動搖條子的美西冠軍，對美西
第二名要展現出一定的競爭能力。水手迷輕鬆看球、歡樂幹剿，但對
於戰績並非完全不在意，等待也是有其耐性限度，就等著看JZ在這個
冬天會打出什麼牌吧？

今年的回顧會拖得比較長，因為個人因素，我想拆成四篇來談，會針
對這三年觀察到的一些策略跟建軍方向，不足之處尚祈見諒。


水手只重投手跟守備有屁用？幹嘛不要棒子

很多人都認為水手重守備跟投手過了頭，得不了分也只是跟對手打焦
土戰而已，為什麼水手還是執迷不悟只強調守備？

我的回應是：如果JZ真的只重守備跟投手不顧打擊，那請問現在這隻
攻擊火力的釀酒人打線是怎麼來的？麻煩看看現在這隻JZ一手打造的
釀酒人，真的有人覺得JZ不重視攻擊火力？

其實這些年制服組的目標很明確：不是不重棒子，而是在接手時，預
算跟不成比例的戰績，讓沒有太多籌碼的制服組在預算壓力下，目標
是用較好的守備跟防守，然後整條打線要發揮出平均略低，大約OPS+
 90~95的水準，但是有個大前提：整條打線必須要有兩隻棒子可以打
出 OPS+110~120的水平，其中有一隻棒子要能打出25發HR的產能！第
一支棒子無庸置疑，就是一朗，所以這三年制服組在不增加預算的前
提下，一直在找尋第二根棒子。

從09年的 Branyan、10年的 Bradley到今年的Cust，其實都是朝著這
個目標去走，最成功的詮釋就是09年上半季，一朗跟 Branyan串連起
來的火力，以及投手群加上守備的支援，讓水手在那一年打出了令人
驚豔的成績。不曉得還有沒有版友記得那年戰績開始往下走是什麼時
候？就是 Branyan在六月被觸身球砸到背後掛傷兵，回來後打擊率一
路直直往下落開始，水手的戰績就開始往下走，只是因為前面積了一
些本，那年一直纏鬥到九月才宣告季後賽無望。那年的攻擊火力？也
是倒數，只是投手跟牛棚硬到九月才開始崩盤，才讓水手一路撐到九
月。去年的 Bradley跟今年的Cust都被期待成功扮演第二根棒子的角
色，但是很遺憾都無法發揮，搭配上更慘的打擊，戰績一片鴉鴉烏也
是很合理的。


季末FA簽人戰

那，今年呢？喊了很久的FA棒子要搞誰？

先從合約來看：明年的大約有 Felix的18.5M、一朗的18M、 Figgins
的9M、Guti的5M，這四個人占了50M。其他人除了 Olivo、League、
Vargas、Ryan這四個人可能各吃到2M以上的薪資外，Ackley、Smoak、
Carp等一掛人都不會吃掉太多薪水，哩哩扣扣算一算，這些人75~80M
應該足以打死。就算今年進場人數大幅減少減少一些payroll，10~15
 M的空間要搞根棒子來並不是不行，如果在加上去年從保險公司拿回
來的錢，加上一朗明年就約滿，說服老闆咬牙撐一年的空間是有的。

那問題又來了：要誰呢？

Albert Pujols 跟Prince Fielder是我們肖想一整年的名字。但是這
兩個人都不是沒有問題跟難處：

Albert Pujols： 實力、熊庹....不是，是態度、形象都無庸置疑，
但是32歲的年紀，一張目前市價八年以上，年薪起碼 30M的大約，36
歲前沒啥問題，但是36歲後的風險程度及薪資負擔都是需要考量的。

Prince Fielder：年紀小普神四歲，八年約涵蓋了他所有的黃金時期
，但是體重破表的身材跟目前喊出的 250M/8y~10y也是一件很恐怖的
事；更慘的是如果連他都抬到這個價碼，普神恐怕就不是 30M可以搞
定的， Fielder已經鬆口表示他可以接受打DH，雖然這樣看起來更貴
，但考量到他身體跟體重，他打DH＋Smoak 1B會是比較好的選擇。

先扣掉Pujols跟小熊眉來眼去只差沒當場上演紅杏出牆的戲碼；水手
在追 Fielder是比較有優勢的：左打、目前28的黃金年齡，還有當時
JZ選他進釀酒人的知遇之恩；比起沒有半點關係可以拉、右打以及最
後五年從火星回地球後後，必須對抗Safeco右打封印力場的Pujols，
怎麼看小王子都是比較有機會也比較有可能賭的那張牌（叫老大找人
家老婆這張牌沒有用了，普神老婆已經說尊重老公決定了）

還有一點，想追Pujols必須要肯定高層願意簽支票，如果連 Fielder
都喊到了25~30M這個價碼，Pujols沒有 35M都是談心酸的，聖路易仗
著優勢出個 30M大概就可以贏了，但是會不會淘口袋拿鈔票，目前誰
也不知道。西雅圖唯一的優勢是良好的生活環境跟強大的華大醫學院
（Pujols的女兒需要良好醫療照顧），剩下大概就是Money Talks。
不過這個戲碼大概要等季後賽打完才有得見縫插針，混水摸魚搶人，
不管如何，如果想在明年有所表現，打線非搞進一隻棒子不可。期待
Ackley、Smoak、Carp、Wells四隻菜鳥明年帶領打線打出什麼嚇死人
的成績太不切實際，這個打線一定要有一個讓大家有安定感的打者坐
鎮，省錢壓預算等了三年，如果今年再不出手搞根穩定棒子進來，我
對JZ會非常非常失望。

啥？你問我如果他們進來以後也被 Death-Virus感染怎麼辦？薪資不
是全卡死？幹，如果連這種等級的打者都被死屍感染吃屎，我們下幾
步就是找風水師、舉辦西雅圖流水席普渡拜拜跟馬上畫新球場設計圖
，然後把Bavasi簽回來擺上供桌當動土典禮祭品了啊，還要問？-_-

Jack Zduriencik


他這幾年做了什麼事我就不細述了。被大家幹剿到最慘的兩件事就是
賣掉Morrow跟簽了 Figgins這個自動出局數。不過 Figgins簽約有其
必須性，也沒人會想到他死得這麼慘；Morrow目前讓大家很搥心肝，
不過穩定度跟體力依然時好時壞，是賠得滿慘，不過還沒到血本無歸
就是了。

今年7/31一如預期幹了兩筆交易，大家一致希望賣出的Vargas因為交
易前爆得太慘，加上Washburn出了Safeco的殷鑑不遠，到最後還是只
能賣出Fister加上Pauley，送到老虎換來Furbush＋Wells＋Ruffin＋
Martinez；另外交易出Bedard及Fields，在三方交易中換來蔣智賢及
Trayvon Robinson。

除了Fister讓大家很心痛外，其他三位都沒有什麼不可取代性，尤其
Bedard是一年約，這幾年跟我們關係也一直保持良好，只要價碼ok，
再簽回來也不是什麼難事，不過身體因素還是續簽他的最大考量。其
中 Robinson跟Wells都在明年外野的競逐人選裡，Ruffin的控球還需
要時間修，如果修得起來會是一頭不錯的牛； Furbush則預期會接下
明年的一個後段輪值，至於表現會怎樣，就看各自的努力及造化，起
碼就目前看來，這兩筆交易對於建構明年的隊形是有幫助的。

讓大家最安慰的大概就是農場吧，在這幾年的大力灑錢培育下，新人
開始冒出頭：Ackley、Pineda已經站上戰場，Seager扮演工具人也還
算ok，Cortes、Lueke在努力增進降血壓藥銷量，Hultzen、Paxton、
Franklin、Walker在兩年內也會陸續上場，能帶給我們什麼表現還很
難說，就等著看吧！不過我們對他最不滿意的地方，大概就是在挑選
教練團。-_-

教練團

投教跟牛棚教練這一年看下來倒是還好， Wedge這一年在搞些什麼東
西我是真的看不懂。說他操投手，Bedard還在跟球季前段使用Pineda
又還滿保護的；說他不操投手，球季後段開始無視Pineda體力下滑、
愛偷先發投手及RP局數搞掉幾場勝利，還有讓全版友都在公幹的小鬼
用球跟局數，大概是今年一整年沒有停過的抱怨跟幹剿。我實在不懂
這個傢伙的腦袋到底在裝些什麼，在又濕又熱的天氣問已經丟了110+
的小鬼要不要完投？你是腦袋進水還是智障？智障了大半個球季，結
果到九月後段突然學會按馬表，球數到了就換，沒必要的局數就不讓
小鬼丟，你早點這樣調度五六七月牛棚會亂成那個樣子嗎？-_-

Willis倒是沒什麼可挑剔的，除了很峱不敢違抗 Wedge的調度外，幾
個年輕投手都看出了一些進步（除了小鬼），牛棚教練今年也是盡力
把牛棚調到中規中矩，至於 Wedge亂用導致球季中段牛棚有點亂掉，
責任就不在他的身上了。至於打教，就今年數據看起來打擊還是一片
鴉鴉烏，不過看的見幾個年輕打者的進步（Ackley、 Smoak以及來到
水手的 Wells），當然這些菜鳥都有需要改進的地方，到打擊篇再來
談。不過打教到底合不合格，我個人傾向到明年六月會比較準確些。

如果可以，我真的希望明年可以換總教練啦！我覺得 Wedge的愛操王
牌跟信任牛的毛病已經沒藥醫了，換人會比較快一點。看有沒有辦法
把老拉帶來（謎之音：你是為了跟Pujols拉關係吧？），雖然這樣整
組教練團都得拆掉，反正Duncan也是很屌的投教，這幾年的績效也有
目共睹，換他說不定還比較好，起碼不用看到操投手。所以我可以為
了這個原因希望紅鳥趕快被淘汰嗎？XD

FO跟教練團篇先寫到這，下一篇應該是投手篇，改日再寫。
