엘버트 & 고든, 올해의 Branch Rickey 상 수상

After posting solid seasons in the Minors, left-hander Scott Elbert and shortstop Dee Gordon were named the Dodgers' Branch Rickey Minor League Pitcher and Player of the Year, respectively.
스캇 엘버트(Scott Elbert)와 디 고든(Dee Gordon)이 올해의 다저스 브렌치 릭키(Branch Rickey) 마이너 투수상과 선수상을 선정되었습니다. 브렌치 릭키는 젝키 로빈슨을 발굴해내서 빅리그로 올리는데 결정적인 기여를 한 인물로써 야구에서 흑인차별을 폐지한 인물로 꼽히고 있습니다.

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti made the announcement on Monday.

Elbert earned the honor by going 4-4 with a 3.84 ERA in a combined 20 appearances (18 starts) at Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Albuquerque. He struck out 125 batters and walked 44 in 96 innings.

Elbert was selected to play in the Southern League All-Star Game, but he didn't play because he was called up to Triple-A.

Elbert is on his fourth stint with the Dodgers after getting recalled on Aug. 31. He is 2-0 with a 5.29 ERA in 13 appearances this season.
엘버트는 빅리그 스캠에서 시작했지만 엘버커키가 아닌 체터누가에서 선발수업을 쌓으며 많은 볼넷을 내줬지만 엄청난 삼진(96이닝동안 125K)을 잡으로 콜업되어서 비교적 괜찮은 모습을 보여줬습니다.

Gordon, 21, also was named the Midwest League Prospect of the Year and league co-MVP with Class A Great Lakes teammate Kyle Russell.

Gordon led the league with 73 steals and 12 triples. He finished second in hits (162) and runs (96).

Gordon was selected as a starter for the Midwest League All-Star Game. He also was on the league's postseason All-Star team.

Elbert and Gordon will be honored in a pregame ceremony during the final home series of the season, when the Dodgers host the Colorado Rockies from Oct. 2-4.
고든은 일단 잘하니 상복이 터지는군요. 올해의 MWL 유망주상과 MWL 공동 MVP였던 고든은 다저스의 브렌치 릭키 올해의 선수상까지 받았습니다. 개인적으로 고든의 09시즌이 오늘 끝났기때문에 많이 아쉽습니다. 아론 밀러가 호투했는데....
