規則五選秀

今年的規則五選秀將在12月8日舉行，先前我提到了幾個有可能被選走的球員，包括Ben Francisco、Eider Torres、Joe Inglett等人，Chris Kline在BA上面的這篇Rule 5 Draft Preview裡也列了幾個球員：

Chris Cooper, lhp, Indians

Cooper has always been somewhat of a sleeper in the Indians' organization, but the 35th-round pick in 2001 has solid-average stuff and could find a role as a lefty specialist. Cooper features an 89-91 mph fastball with good movement, and mixes in a hard slurve with an above-average changeup. He struggled keeping his body under control in his delivery early in his career, but has smoothed out his mechanics since dedicating himself to a more stringent weight-training regimen.

先前我並沒有注意到Cooper這個左投手，從他的三振與保送數字數據看起來，或許有機會被選去當LOOGY。

J.D. Martin, rhp, Indians

Left unprotected after Tommy John surgery in 2005, Martin still has the best curveball in the Indians system and commands all his pitches well

如果你平常就有稍微在注意小聯盟的消息，你應該知道2001年首輪選進來的J.D. Martin今年季初在2A有個相當搶眼的開始，不過2003年困擾他的肘傷又出現，最後動了TJ，他明年或許整年都不能投球（這也以為著選他的球隊可以把他放在傷兵名單上一整年）。

Ryan Mulhern, 1b, Indians

Breakout year in 2005 and is showing big power in the Dominican this winter, but doesn't command the zone well

Mulhern今年在高階1A和2A加起來403個打數裡面總共打了32支全壘打，是今年小聯盟火力最旺的球員之一，不過以一個高階1A球員來說，他的年紀稍微大了一點，此外，就和我們農場裡許多球員一樣，他的三振數字並不太好看。

另外，在Mitch Maier那一段，Kline也提到了Ben Francisco以及Jason Cooper的名字，OK，我必須承認，我真的忘了Cooper的存在。
