2007 Rule 5 Draft

我找了一下舊聞,發現去年Dodgers和2006年Rule 5 Draft竟然一點關係都沒有...這大概也多少反映了Morikawa兄在前幾篇回文裡說的話,Dodgers最優秀的prospects和一般年輕人的差距滿大的,的確,以Dodgers主要選高中畢業生的選秀策略而言較易發生這種事。不論如何,今年的Rule 5 draft有Dodgers的份:
Major League Phase
8. Wesley Wright LHP to Houston
'85年次,左手牛,K功佳,在Las Vegas被打爆,隨後被退貨回AA又還不錯。
在剛結束不久的AFL裡表現也不怎樣。顯然是期末考不及格,沒被保護。祝福他。

Triple-A Phase
7. Juan Apodaca C to Louisville (CIN)
'86年次,非常年輕的捕手,委內瑞拉人,攻守都不怎樣,在Dodgers有Martin的情況下他一點機會都沒有。Dodgers現在農場裡雖然沒有能看的捕手prospect,但Martin也不過是'83年次的...至少5年內我們不缺捕手prospect,只缺優秀的捕手prospect...(...誰會不缺優秀的?)

9. Giuseppe Norrito RHP to Round Rock (HOU)
'82年次,年紀不小了,目前在AA,不怎麼樣。(MVP棒球電動裡有他,很難用...笑)

12. Victor Garate LHP to Las Vegas (LAD) from Houston Tri-City (SS)
'84年次,雖然年輕但還在NYP Lg (Short Season)混,而事實上他更年輕時就已在Houston系統的委國夏聯打球,直到20歲才來美國,今年已是他的第6個職業球季...

Anyways, the biggest positive coming out of the AJ signing is that LA has kind of admitted to the fact that signing JP was a huge mistake.

I feel like this is similar when LA got Sheffield.... if he turns out well, great, if he doesn't ah well, only there for a couple of years.

Now, the other upside of this is that now we have less money left and we are less likely to do something stupid like sign Silva to a massive contract...heh heh

Cheers,

Wilson

Apparently, you're totally wrong...Ned Colletti is not that stupid as you think. According to Diamond Leung of PE, Colletti said "We signed a player that's a great guy and a guy that comes to play every day and a great influence throughout the clubhouse."

He might be brain-death and needs a neurosurgeon to remain alive.
