Paul Wilson update

Wilson's arm is alive and well after nearly two years of constant rehab from shoulder surgery.
"I've been pleasantly surprised so far," Pole said.

Paul Wilson在一次被搬出來報導,Paul Wilson幾乎是天天被Enquire拿出來報導,看樣子他似乎已經復健的差不多了.現在看看這位前Mets的first round draft,能不能重生,搶下第五先發.(我個人是希望Saarloos make the fifth starter,因為他是滾地球型投手,Wilson不是,GABP需要滾地球型投手)

關於25人名單中投手的討論

But there probably will be some tough calls at the end of March. Consider: Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Milton, Kyle Lohse, Mike Stanton, David Weathers, Todd Coffey, Rheal Cormier, Bill Bray and Saarloos probably have the team made. That's 10 spots.

If Saarloos takes the fifth spot, Belisle, Wilson, Ramirez, Santos, Brian Shackelford and Gary Majewski would be among the others battling for the 11th and/or 12th spots.

When camp started, Majewski would have been considered a lock. But he's more than a week behind because of his sore shoulder. He does have options, so he could start the year at Triple-A.

今年的春訓投手難得的擁擠,會有強大的競爭.當然現在預期若是這些競爭者有水準以上的表現,應該可以預期Wayne可能會把其中幾位拿去交易別隊好的農場球員.

關於Josh Hamilton

Hamilton's upside is such that the Reds probably will be willing to carry him in the 25th spot on the roster rather than lose him. If the Reds don't keep him, they have to offer him back to Tampa Bay as part of the Rule 5 process.

Because Hamilton is so athletic and his arm is so strong, having him on the roster is not going to hamstring Narron too greatly.

The problem is he wouldn't get enough at-bats to continue his development. The Reds saw that with Wily Mo Peña.

The other possibility is the Reds could work out a trade with the Devil Rays, which would allow the Reds to keep Hamilton - and send him to Double-A or Triple-A to get at-bats.

很好的關於Josh Hamilton的動向討論,基本上我希望是最後一個選項,我認為他是具有天份的選手(Tampa drafted他時,他可以投出96-97英哩的球速,Tampa叫他去練外野手,由此可見他的天賦).但是我不認為天賦可以彌補這幾年的空白,這是MLB.不是CPBL.他應該去農場磨練在進入大聯盟,不然可能真的就會變成下一個Wily Mo.
