[존 시켈스] LA 다저스의 유망주 TOP 20 리뷰

존 시켈스가 연초에 올린 LA 다저스의 유망주 TOP 20 리스트 유망주에 대한 리뷰글을 올렸네요. TOP 5 레벨 이후의 유망주는 대부분 트래이드가 될 것으로 보는 모양입니다. 전체적인 평가는 다저스가 돈이 많아지면서 팜을 빠르게 강화시키고 있다. 투자를 통해서 유망주를 영입을 하고 있으며 탑 레벨의 유망주들을 지키면서 트래이드를 통해서 전력보강을 하고 있다고 하는군요.

Logan White and his staff have infused talent into the system quickly, identifying worthy international investments like Puig and Ryu but also drafting well. Paco Rodriguez helped out less than a year after being drafted, and several other promising arms (Withrow, Lee, Onelki Garcia, Reed, Stripling, also Jose Dominguez and Yimi Garcia) are ready for the majors or very close.

투수 유망주들은 이미 메이저리그 레벨에 접근을 했고 기여하기 시작했다.

I think the hitting side is thinner: there are some interesting bats who have done well in High-A, but we'll have to see if Sweeney, O'Koyea Dickson, and outfielders Scott Schebler, Noel Cuevas, and Jon Garcia can hit outside of the Cal League. Seager has been excellent. Lefty Miguel Sulbaran has pitched well in Low-A, while Julio Urias has performed remarkably well for a 16-year-old in full season ball.

몇몇 A+팀의 타자 유망주들은 상위 레벨에서도 지금처럼 잘 칠 수 있는지 지켜볼 필요가 있다. 미구엘 설바란과 훌리오 유리아스는 A팀에서 잘 던지고 있다고 하는군요.

1) Yasiel Puig, OF, Grade B+: This is what I wrote in January: Considerable risk given small sample size, but I can understand what the Dodgers see in the Cuban slugger: enormous power, speed, and overall tools that looked very good in his brief North American debut. I'll buy into it. As you can see, I was one of the optimists, but under no circumstances did I expect .369/.409/.571 in his first 43 major league games. Now we'll see if his talent is good enough to cover for the flaws in his approach, but it may very well be. 뭐...스킵

 2) Corey Seager, SS-3B, Grade B+: Hitting .300/.382/.489 with eight homers, 31 walks, 50 strikeouts in 237 at-bats for Low-A Great Lakes. Very successful debut, stock was already high and now improving. 칭찬뿐....ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 3) Joc Pederson, OF, Grade B: Borderline B+. Hitting .283/.378/.492 with 14 homers, 46 walks, 82 strikeouts, 27 steals in 321 at-bats for Double-A Chattanooga. Currently in a deep slump and struggles against lefties, but still a fine campaign overall. 최근 부진하지만 여전히 좋은 시즌 성적을 보여주고 있다.

 4) Zach Lee, RHP, Grade B: I've felt he was a little overrated in the past, but he's made progress this year, his last poor start on July 21st not withstanding. Overall, 3.33 ERA with a 97/27 K/BB in 103 innings in Double-A. Solid starting pitching prospect. 올해는 성적으로 명성을 증명하고 있다고 하네요.

 5) Hyun-Jin Ryu, LHP, Grade B-: Borderline B. This is honestly a wild guess, I really don't how to rank him. He pitched great in Korea, but what level of competition is that? Single-A? Double-A? Hard to say. He looks good on video. Scouting reports are ambiguously if vaguely positive. Some sources say he works in the upper-80s, some say he touches 95. Everyone says he has a good changeup and throws strikes, but reports on breaking stuff vary from average to above average. He could be Rookie of the Year, a mediocre number five starter, or an expensive failure. Follow spring training reports very closely. The results: 3.25 ERA, 96/41 K/BB in 122 innings, 116 hits. As you can see from the original comment, I didn't have a good feel for what to do with him given the limited information we had to work with before spring training. 한국 야구에 대해서 제대로 모르기 때문에 정확한 평가가 힘들었다. 뭐 잘한다는 이야기.

6) Onelki Garcia, LHP, Grade B-: Borderline B. 2.51 ERA with 41/28 K/BB in 43 innings in Double-A, 31 hits, has been used as both a starter and reliever with better results (0.39 ERA in 23 innings) out of pen. Could see him in the second half, or perhaps on the trade market. 트래이드 카드가 될 것 같다고 하는데 불펜투수로 휠씬 좋은 모습을 보여주고 있다고...

 7) Matt Magill, RHP, Grade B-: Borderline C+: Very good at Triple-A Albuquerque (2.90 ERA in 40 innings) but command failed him during major league trial (6.51 ERA, 26/28 K/BB in 28 innings). He should get more chances, here or elsewhere. 일단 좀 더 기회를 잡을 수 있을것 같다고 합니다. 다저스이든 다른 팀이든...

8) Chris Reed, LHP, Grade C+: Borderline B-. 3.38 ERA with 81/38 K/BB in 101 innings in Double-A, 88 hits, 2.49 GO/AO. Promising lefty from Stanford could be mid-rotation arm or a very good reliever. Another guy for the trade market? 발전중이라고....트래이드 카드로 쓰일지도..모르겠다고..

 9) Chris Withrow, RHP, Grade C+: 1.78 ERA with 32/12 K/BB in 25 innings for Albuquerque, 3.27 ERA with 14/5 K/BB in 11 innings in the majors. Successful relief conversion after struggling as a starter for a few years. 불펜투수로 전환해서 잘 하고 있다고...

 10) Ross Stripling, RHP, Grade C+: 3.05 ERA with 91/19 K/BB in 91 innings between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A. Very polished, throws strikes, excellent command, another name you could hear rumors about. 트래이드에 포함이 될 수 있는 선수로 세련되며 스트라이크를 던질 수 있는 커맨드를 보유하고 있다고..

 11) Tim Federowicz, C, Grade C+: .418/.500/.848 in 21 games in Triple-A, .202/.242/.251 in 34 games in the majors. Glove will keep him in the majors for a decade. Bat will determine if he starts or not 좋은 수비력으로 메이저리그에서 자리를 잡고 있다고 방망이가 미래를 결정할 것이라고..

 12) Jesmuel Valentin, SS-2B, Grade C+: Overmatched in Low-A, hitting .212/.325/.293 in 33 games for Great Lakes. Sent down to Ogden in the Pioneer League in June, he's been mediocre with a .261/.361/.359 line in 24 games. Draws some walks at least, but not a great year so far. 일단 현재까지 망...

 13) Paco Rodriguez, LHP, Grade C+: First 2012 draftee to make the majors and could stay there for the next decade or longer as a terrific LOOGY/short man. Extremely deceptive and has the potential to close games if his command against right-handed hitters stays sharp enough. That one panned out: 2.34 ERA with 39/11 K/BB in 35 innings in major league pen. 밥 값하는중.

 14) Alex Castellanos, OF-INF, Grade C+: .276/.376/.533 with 16 homers, 13 steals in Triple-A. Broad range of skills, though overall line isn't great for Albuquerque and he's 27 years old. 노망주. 매팅리에게 찍혀서 이제 콜업도 받지 못하네요.

 15) Stephen Ames, RHP, Grade C+: Traded to Marlins, has a 3.20 ERA with a 32/14 K/BB in 39 innings in Triple-A this year combined between the two systems. Middle relief future. 미래에 불펜투수가 될 것이라고...

16) Rob Rasmussen, LHP, Grade C+: 2.42 ERA with 60/20 K/BB in 63 innings in Double-A; 5.74 ERA with 30/21 K/BB in 42 innings in Triple-A. Albuquerque punishes anyone with command problems; ERA at home is 6.00. AAA팀에서 망하는중....

 17) Garrett Gould, RHP, Grade C+: Got killed in the California League, 7.04 ERA with 59/31 K/BB in 76 innings, 89 hits. Moved up to Double-A anyway and has an 11/3 K/BB in 13 innings with a 4.97 ERA. Not really thriving in the system at this point. 잊혀진 유망주.

 18) Darnell Sweeney, SS, Grade C+: Borderline C. Sleeper prospect, hitting .275/.327/.445 with 22 doubles, 10 triples, nine homers, 37 steals in High-A, but with 30/106 BB/K in 407 at-bats. Switch-hitter with some tools, 13th round pick in 2012 from Central Florida. I'd look at him if I were trading with the Dodgers. 슬리퍼 유망주라고 하는군요.

 19) Jeremy Rathjen, OF, Grade C+: Borderline C. Hitting .233/.353/.329 with 45 walks, 71 whiffs, 24 steals in 313 at-bats in Low-A. Old for the level at 23, 11th round pick in '12 out of Rice, I felt he had sleeper potential but bat hasn't lived up to that yet. 그나마 후반기에 살아나는중....기대 이하라는 평가

20) Zach Bird, RHP, Grade C: Borderline C+. Another sleeper from '12 draft, ninth round from Mississippi high school, horrible in Low-A (5.71 ERA, 36/35 K/BB in 41 innings) due to control problems, sent back to Pioneer League but it hasn't helped (8.72 ERA, 22/13 K/BB in 22 innings). 올해 폭망...
