http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/235578481.html Lake Buena Vista, Fla. - Brewers general manager Doug Melvin encourages his staff to think out of the box when possible and pro scouting director Zack Minasian took him up on it Thursday morning. In the surprise of the Rule 5 draft of unprotected players, the Brewers selected left-hander Wei-Chung Wang out of the Pittsburgh system. Wang, 21, has played only one year of professional baseball in the United States and that was at the rookie level in the Gulf Coast League last season. "I wouldn't say we necessarily took this guy just because he's left-handed," said Minasian. "We liked him because of his upside. Doug always encourages (us) to try to be creative. This was one of those situations where when (special assistant) Dick (Groch) and I first saw the name and the Gulf Coast League, we didn't necessarily think Doug would be on board with taking him. But he seemed open-minded to it. We told him what we saw in the player." Teams must pay the original club $50,000 to select an unprotected player and he must remain on the big-league roster for an entire season or be offered back for half the draft price. Asked if he could imagine a player jumping from rookie ball to the majors, Minisian smiled and said, "Not really. The one thing with a Taiwanese pitcher is they technically pitch professionally (in their country)." Minasian also said scout Charlie Sullivan said Wang was "very poised, under control." "Whether he can do that in a big-league stadium, we'll just wait and see," added Minasian. "But we're excited to have the opportunity to see him pitch." Listed at 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds but now apparently bigger than that, Wang pitched in 12 games (11 starts) in the Gulf Coast League and went 1-3 with a 3.23 ERA and a great walk/strikeout ratio of 4/42. He throws his fastball in the 91-93 mph range, has a plus changeup and a developing curveball. Wang was eligible for the rule 5 draft only because his contract was voided after signing with Pittsburgh in 2011 because of an elbow injury. The contract had to be redone, making him Rule 5 eligible immediately, but Wang had Tommy John surgery and didn't pitch until this year. If Wang is kept by the Brewers, it would be more likely as a reliever than starter but the Brewers will keep an open mind and see how he looks in spring training. "It's the way you draw them up," said Minasian. "I hate to throw this out there but Johan Santana was taken out of A ball. He didn't perform that well but someone saw him in instructional league and projected him to be a good starter, similar to what we saw in Wang. We've tried to do more scouting in the lower levels." Culturally, the Brewers don't know a lot about Wang. Men in Taiwan traditionally have been obligated to military service but the Brewers checked and don't believe that will be mandatory for Wang. With Wang's selection, the Brewers have a full 40-man roster. In the Class AAA portion of the draft, the Brewers selected center fielder Kevin Mattison from the Miami system and third baseman Vinnie Catricala from Oakland's system. Both players will be assigned to Class AAA Nashville. Speaking of Nashville, the Brewers have named veteran minor league manager Rick Sweet as the skipper there. He replaces Darnell Coles, who left to join Detroit's coaching staff shortly after being named in Nashville. 其實整篇沒講什麼 就是反正現實就是酒鬼明年也是陪打 選一個天花板高的人來玩玩 看起來他們對王/台灣了解也有限 總之就是 酒鬼想法在盒子外面 突破舒適圈 還蠻屌的 --
