Li-Jen Chu – Catcher
With Francisco Mejia in San Diego and Eric Haase in the big leagues, Chu now
represents the Indians top/only upper level catching prospect. Tommy John
surgery halted the beginning of his career, but he finally played his first
full season in 2017 (he was signed in 2012) and has hit 27 home runs and 44
doubles in the last two seasons combined. While not prodigious, he has great
power for a catcher and doesn’t have the strike out rate of some of the
Indians more typical power hitters. While he isn’t a great defensive
catcher, he is serviceable enough to be a MLB back up if his offense can
create enough value.
在Francisco Mejia去了教士以及Eric Haase上了大聯盟之後，朱立人成為印地安人隊高階
小聯盟裡最佳也是唯一的捕手新秀，TJ手術延緩了他職業生涯的起步，但最終他在2017年
完成生涯第一個完整的職棒球季，過去兩個球季合計打出了27發全壘打以及44支二壘安打
，朱立人的力量雖然不算驚人但以捕手來說很不錯，而且被三振率比印地安人多數典型的
強打者要好得多（查了一下 去年在1A是17.6% 今年在高階1A是20.2% 2A是22.8%），雖然
他不是那種守備很好的捕手，但如果打擊能夠製造出足夠的價值，他能在大聯盟層級成為
有用的替補
Because of his injury problems, he has only just reached Akron this August at
24 years old after six years in the system and only played 16 games once
there. The AFL should serve as a stepping stone to help get Chu to Columbus
at some point next season.
由於傷痛問題，朱立人一直到今年8月才升上2A並打了16場比賽，此時他已經24歲，在小聯
盟待了6個球季了，秋季聯盟可以視為朱立人在明年某個時間點登上3A的墊腳石
Yu-Cheng Chang – Short Stop
The Indians most interesting player in the AFL this year will be Yu Chang,
who is heading back for his second run (2016 Mesa Solar Sox). Like Chu, Chang
is a Taiwanese born player although he was signed a year later and has
already spent a full season in Columbus.
張育成會是今年印地安人隊在亞歷桑納秋季聯盟最有趣的選手，這是他第二次參與AFL，
就跟朱立人一樣，張育成來自台灣，雖然他的簽約晚了一年，但已經在3A有了一個完整的
球季
Generally known as a bat first, power hitting short stop, Chang made great
strides defensively this year although his power production decreased. While
the trade of Willi Castro and the steep decline of Eric Stamets have greatly
simplified the Indians middle infield situation for the next few years, there
are still many decisions to make regarding who will play third, second and
utility man for the MLB squad. Chang hadn’t played anywhere but short since
his rookie season, but he returned to third for 23 games this year and played
second for the first time, getting in nine games.
張育成一直被認為是個棒子優先，具有長打力量的游擊手，他在今年球季防守上進步很多
，不過長打的產量也退步了，送走了Willi Castro加上Eric Stamets今年的大低潮簡化了
印地安人隊內野中線未來幾年的布局，他們需要找出大聯盟層級能用的三壘手，二壘手以
及工具人，張育成從新人年開始一直都只有守游擊，但他今年也開始練三壘以及二壘
The AFL should both give Chang a chance to bring his offense back up to the
level he is accustomed to as well as give the Indians a chance to see if he
can play the other infield positions well enough to consider him as a utility
man in 2019. This could also be a showcase for other teams to see if they may
be interested in Chang the power hitting short stop, something the Indians won
’t have use of for many years.
秋季聯盟給了張育成找回他過往打擊手感的機會，也讓印地安人隊能評估他防守其他內野
位置的狀況，是否能在2019球季擔任內野工具人，同時這也是其他對張育成有興趣的隊伍
觀察他的好機會，畢竟印地安人隊在未來幾年內並不缺少強打游擊手
