On Saturday June 24th, the Boston Red Sox promoted infielder Tzu-Wei Lin to
the major league roster. He appeared in both the Saturday and Sunday contests
against the Los Angeles Angels but has yet to collect an at-bat. Let’s see
what he offers for the future.
Lin was signed by the Red Sox as a free agent out of Taiwan in 2012,
receiving a large bonus of $2,050,000. At the time he was projected as a
strong defensive player with a chance to hit for average. He did not hit much
at the lower levels, just .226 in the New York-Penn League in 2013 and .229
in the South Atlantic League in 2014 without much in the way of power or
special on-base skills.
He improved in the Carolina League in 2015, hitting .281/.333/.367, but
slumped again on promotion to Double-A Portland in 2016, sagging to a
.223/.287/.293 mark. He was hitting much better on a return engagement to
Portland before his promotion to the majors, hitting .302/.379/.491 with 20
walks and 27 strikeouts in 159 at-bats. This is the best stretch of sustained
production in his entire career.
Lin is listed at 5-9, 160, a left-handed hitter born February 15th, 1994. As
anticipated, his glove has turned out quite well: he has the range, hands,
reliability and arm strength to be a quality shortstop. He’s also seen time
at second and third base to enhance his versatility, and has even performed
well in limited action in center field.
He runs well and is a stolen base threat but has never hit much before this
year. Past scouting reports noted a mechanically sound swing and a decent
batting eye but an extreme lack of power held him back. Until the last few
months he looked like a utility player as a result. He’s already hit five
homers this spring, a career high.
Lin is only 23 and it is possible he just needed to mature physically. That
said, 48 games in Double-A isn’t really enough to over-ride the last five
years and it would be nice to see what would happen in Triple-A before
pushing him into a larger major league role.
All things considered, Lin is certainly in the roster picture due to his
defense and if the surge in hitting is real, he could be more than a bench
guy. Keep an eye on him.
基本上就是在说林子伟2012年拿了205万镁签约金，当初评价是很好的防守加上有机会长出
一定的打击能力
2013跟2014年在短期1A跟1A打得很糟，没有power也没有好的上垒技巧
2015年在高阶1A有点爆发但升上2A之后又开始撞墙，直到今年才打出不错的成绩
林子伟的防守发展得很好，有能力成为好的游击手，也加练了二三垒跟中外野增加自己的
功能性
他一直都跑得很快，是个盗垒威胁，但打击在今年以前都不够好，过去的球探报告认为他
挥棒跟选球不错但是极度欠缺力量，几个月前他看起来最好就是个工具人，不过他今年已
经打了生涯新高的五轰
林子伟只有23岁所以他需要的可能只是等到身材成熟，不过48场2A比赛的样本数不见得足
够，可以观察一下他之后被下放回小联盟的表现
考量到林子伟的防守，他未来在大联盟会有一席之地，如果他的打击是真货，就不会只是
个板凳球员，继续注意他
大概是这样吧
