BA on Daryl Thompson

幾百年沒po了(figuratively speaking),球季又快要開始了,距離投捕報到日要到了,看今年能不能稍微寫多一點,在此像少數幾位每天點選我部落格的網友致歉,讓你們沒東西可看.

今天在Ctrent blog看到一篇BA的連結,有提到Daryl Thompson,在此把關於Thompson的部份貼過來. Thompson 是角逐第五先發的候選人之一

Daryl Thompson, rhp, Reds: Thompson looked untouchable through his first six starts with Double-A Chattanooga last year. In that stretch, Thompson allowed just three earned runs in 37 1/3 innings (and never more than one earned run in a start), posting a 0.72 ERA with a 42-5 K-BB mark. After four more starts, Thompson moved up to Triple-A Louisville (2.76 ERA, 33-9 K-BB in 45 2/3 innings) and then to the big league club for three starts. Thompson reached the big leagues five years after the Montreal Expos drafted him out of high school in 2003 and two years after the franchise traded him to the Reds. Thompson has an explosive 91-94 mph fastball, an athletic delivery, a solid (though inconsistent) changeup and he mixes his pitch sequences well, but he doesn’t have a true out pitch and carries an extensive history of shoulder problems. If he doesn’t have the durability or the effectiveness to be a starter, he could fit into a bullpen role, where his fastball might even play up a tick or two.
