올해의 다저스 마이너 투수 & 타자

The Los Angeles Dodgers today named right-hander Rubby De La Rosa and infielder/outfielder Jerry Sands as the Branch Rickey Minor League Pitcher and Player of the Year, respectively. General Manager Ned Colletti made the announcement.
다저스가 올해의 다저스 마이너 투수와 타자를 발표했는데, 루비 데 라 로사(Rubby De La Rosa)와 제리 샌즈(Jerry Sands)가 수상을 했습니다.

The 21-year-old De La Rosa went a combined 7-2 with six saves and a 2.37 ERA in 22 games (13 starts) with Double-A Chattanooga and Single-A Great Lakes. This was De La Rosa's fourth year in the organization after he signed as a non-drafted free agent on July 2, 2007.
07년 7월에 다저스와 계약한 데 라 로사는 많은 주목을 받지 못했지만, 작년 3월에 키스 로우(정확하지 않음)로 부터 빠른 공을 던진다는 소리와 함께 약간의 주목을 받았지만, 작년에 '알려지지 않은 징계'로 인해 도미니칸 리그로 강등되기도 했었습니다.

The Dominican Republic native opened the season as a reliever with the Loons, picking up six saves and making just one start in 10 appearances before the All-Star break. Following the break, De La Rosa was moved into a starter's role and earned his July 23 promotion to Double-A by going 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA (5 ER/27.0 IP) and limiting opposing hitters to a .165 average in four starts.
하지만, 올해 GLL에서 릴리프로 출전하면서 주목을 받기 시작했는데, AA로 승격되기 전까지 14경기(5선발)에 출전해서 4승 1패 6세이브를 기록했습니다.

In eight starts with the Lookouts, De La Rosa went 3-1 with a 1.41 ERA (8 ER/51.0 IP), which led the Double-A Southern League during his time on the circuit, and limited opponents to .215 batting average. He did not allow an earned run in his first three starts (18.0 IP) and won the August Dodger Pride Award for Chattanooga after going 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA in six starts during the month. He is currently pitching in the Fall Instructional League in Arizona, which opened last Thursday.
GLL에서 좋은 투구 후 데 라 로사는 A+를 건너뛰고 AA로 와서 선발로만 등판했습니다. 총 8번의 선발등판가운데, 첫 경기에서 많은 볼넷(5BB)를 허용하면서 4이닝을 던지는데 그쳤지만, 그 이후 7번의 선발등판 중 6경기에서 7이닝씩을 소화하면서 주목을 받았습니다.

싱커볼러로 알려진 데 라로사는 올시즌 4개의 피홈런(GLL에서 3개, AA에서 1개)를 허용했는데, 이는 9이닝당 0.3개의 아주 적은 수치입니다.

일단 AA에서 1.41ERA를 기록했지만, FIP이 3.39이기때문에 어느정도 운이 많이 작용했다고 보여지네요.

Jerry Sands tied for the third in all of Minor League Baseball with 35 home runs in a combined 137 games with Great Lakes and Chattanooga. The 23-year-old was selected as an outfielder on Sporting News' All-Minor League Team and batted a combined .301, drove in 93 runs and posted a .586 slugging percentage in his third professional season. Sands was selected by the Dodgers in the 25th round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft out of Catawba College in North Carolina.
올해의 타자는 예상되었다시피 샌즈가 차지했는데, 올시즌 A와 AA 통합 35HR를 기록하면서 새로운 파워넘버 유망주로 주목받기 시작했습니다. A에서 다소 많은 나이였던 23세였지만, AA에서도 좋은 모습을 이어갔기때문에 이대로 좋은 타격을 보여준다면 더 이상 나이로 책을 잡힐 일은 없지 않을까 싶습니다.

The North Carolina native had a decorated season, garnering league Player of the Week honors four times (three times with Great Lakes, once with Chattanooga) and winning the Top Star MVP Award in the Single-A Midwest League All-Star Game. Sands also won the April and May Dodger Pride Awards for Great Lakes, batting .355 (65-for-183) with 15 homers and 37 RBI in 51 games over the season's first two months.

Sands led the Lookouts with 17 home runs for the season despite only playing in 68 games for the club and batted .270 with 47 RBI following his June 24 promotion from Great Lakes. In 69 games with the Loons, Sands ranked among the league leaders in batting average (.333, T-2nd), home runs (18, 1st), RBI (46, 2nd), on-base percentage (.432, 2nd) and slugging percentage (.646, 1st). He will play for Don Mattingly and the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League, which opens play on October 12.

Both De La Rosa and Sands will be honored in a pregame ceremony on Saturday, October 2 prior to the Dodgers game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Representatives from each of the Dodgers' minor league partners will be on hand for the ceremony.
두 선수 모두가 올해 AA에서 반시즌을 뛰었기때문에 다저스의 상황이 급하지 않는다면 내년에도 체터누가에서 뛸거 같습니다.
