BP有提供Kershaw的評論,而True Blue LA則節錄了Kevin Goldstein對其他人的意見...

LaRoche...高打率?會不會太樂觀了點?不過他最慘的應該是機會被老人佔走,沒人會質疑他的power。

Hu...除了金手套外BP也開始對他還不差的power背書了?但就如我昨天所質疑的,難道Abreu真的差Hu那麼多嗎?而且Goldstein竟將Hu列進5星級!!看來今年Furcal的表現與他季中或季後續約與否會更微妙...

Elbert...low 90s刁鑽速球加上擁有威力曲球,受傷整年空白仍相當被看好。

McDonald...速、曲、變速三種不錯球路的投手,後段rotation可行性?(按:AAA考驗很大呀...又Colletti討厭年輕人先發...)

Bell...天呀BP也太給Bell credits了吧...

Withrow...還是以天份評價為主,未完成品。

Meloan...有沉、滑主要兩武器(按:纖瘦版Broxton?)...不過去年有看他投球的人都知道他在ML的穩定性有點糟,還有待磨練。

DeJesus...安打型,power不夠但願意work the count,守備評價高...簡單來說除了守備外別期望他的打擊太多,或許會有不差的上壘率...

DeWitt...誇他揮棒漂亮(按:打不到球有屁用?)、不錯的power和三壘守備...

Adkins...upper 80s帶下沉尾勁速球,高揮臂角度,滾球投手,曲滑系也丟的不錯,還有sense...

至於Dodgers的U-25排名則是...
1. Billingsley
2. Kershaw
3. Kemp
4. Loney
5. LaRoche
6. Broxton
7. Hu
8. Elbert
9. McDonald
10. Bell

果然大魚都已經浮上水面了呀...不過BA今年還是排Dodgers農場第6呢...

Meloan = Skinny Broxton.... mwhahahaha

Always thought LA had a preference for pitchers on the "heavy" side... see... didn't we trade away Pedro b/c we thought he was too skinny?

Cheers,
