Napoli Could DH

By Tim Dierkes [January 16, 2009 at 3:34pm CST]

MLB.com's Lyle Spencer continues to beat the drum for the Angels to give Mike Napoli significant time at designated hitter in 2009. He says Mike Scioscia's stance has softened on the idea recently and it will be discussed during Spring Training.

With 406 ABs, we have Napoli as an $18 player given his catcher eligibility. We're currently ranking him 5th among catchers due to a projected 26 HR. Bump that to 500 ABs, though, and Napoli easily passes Joe Mauer as fantasy baseball's most valuable backstop. His only negative would be a .250 AVG, easily overcome by his other stats.

Napoli is currently being drafted in the 15th round, 10th among catchers. In a recent Mock Draft I did, I was chilling and waiting to take Napoli in the 14th or 15th. Instead, some guy using AutoSelect took him in the 11th. Not sure if it means anything. MDC says Napoli has been picked as early as the 8th round. If you become dead set on Napoli, and that's a dangerous thing to do with any player, you might have to plan to take him around the 11th or 12th round. Last year I reached on Rafael Furcal, Corey Hart, and Matt Kemp, and it paid off for the two outfielders. It is possible to get too reliant on Average Draft Position data.

Kellen Kulbacki has put up some amazing numbers; he’s also had some bad months because of long layoffs and leg injuries. What type of numbers do you think he will put up in Double-A next year and if he succeeds do you see him starting in the outfield for San Diego in 2010?

Kevin Goldstein: It’s an outside possibility, but the odds are stacked against him doing it. I think he will put up some big numbers in Double-A, and every single scout that I have spoken with believes in his bat. He is not some sort of tools maven, he’s not even a big guy, but he can hit. He got very high grades for what he did with the bat, and he’s in my top 100 prospects. He really could hit .300 with 25 bombs in the majors some day.

Another player that you rated high is James Darnell, who signed late with the organization. He put up some numbers in Eugene in a short time do you see him being able to stay at third base?

Kevin Goldstein: I think it’s 50-50, but I really believe in his bat, as do most of the scouts I’ve spoken with who have seen him in college and in the Northwest League. When he was at South Carolina everyone got to look at him and the bat is something that everyone liked. There was an outside chance he could have gone higher in the draft, I thought he would. He could end up in the outfield, but his bat will still play there with its combination of average and power.

I haven’t had the chance yet to read your write-ups, but what made you rate Adys Portillo so high and where do you see him in the San Diego system in 2009?

Kevin Goldstein: I think next year you aren’t gong to see him in the box scores except maybe in the Arizona League for a few innings. He’s kind of the definition of a kid; he was born in 1991, which really makes me feel very old. His ranking is a reflection of two things; one it says as much about his talent as it does for what is in the system.

I spent a lot of time following the Michel Inoa story [the 16-year-old pitcher signed by the Oakland A’s for $4.25 million]. A lot of people talked about him being the second best arm in the Dominican, and in a year without Inoa, he would be considered the best arm there. He was a pitcher a lot of teams wanted very much. He has the projection you look for and was much better than the usual arm you would find for that age in the market. He made my top 100 as well, although around the bottom of the list. He was a really nice talent and the ceiling is through the roof, but the key is you really have to exercise patience. He’s not going to be in San Diego in a few years. The Padres need to get him used to being a professional, on an exercise regimen and schedule and to learn what it takes to be a professional player.

[Health]過敏性鼻炎之自然營養療法

台中市澄清醫院中港院區耳鼻喉科主任

營養醫學門診主任 劉博仁醫師

 

鼻子過敏是非常惱人的，在美國統計影響三千五百萬人口，保守估計在台灣可能有五分之一的盛行率，所造成的症狀有鼻子癢、打噴嚏、流鼻水、鼻塞、頭痛，進而嚴重影響生活品質，包括睡眠障礙、工作效率嚴重影響，其他包括打鼾、慢性咽喉炎、睡眠呼吸終止症等，另外有不同比率患者合併氣喘、過敏性結膜炎、異位性皮膚炎、過敏性腸炎等。

 

  如果妳有過敏體質，第一步是先確定過敏原為何？一般分為吸入性、接觸性、及食物引起的過敏原，不過檢測過敏原的方法及準確度是有相當程度的差異，這需與醫師仔細討論。確定過敏原之後確實避開過敏原是需要周延的配合。不過，在飲食方面則應該注意避免以下食物攝取過多，如冰冷食物、乳製品、海鮮類、堅果類、過度加工食品、甜食、反式脂肪、菸、酒、咖啡等。

 

  藥物有分為口服或局部噴劑或下鼻甲注射，一般藥理分類有抗組織胺、去充血劑、肥大細胞穩定劑、白三烯素拮抗劑或類固醇等。使用方法及時機各有千秋，對於急性或非急性、兒童或成年人皆有不同使用法則，端看醫師用藥經驗。

 

  另外免疫療法（即所謂過敏疫苗或減敏針）對於長期嚴重患者不失為一選擇，我個人研究滿意度相當高，唯療程常需三年左右，需病人耐心配合，一般以皮下注射為主，最近研究舌下減敏效果也不錯。

 

  如果鼻塞嚴重，甚至合併其他併發症，則手術是另一種選擇，一般有雷射、射頻（無線電波）、電燒、冷凍療法、下鼻甲切除術（或合併鼻中隔矯正）等。但需注意鼻過敏手術完保健非常重要，否則仍有復發機會。

 

  現在自然療法愈來愈受重視，以營養處方來治療或調養此類患者的研究相當多，資整理如表一。

 

表一  過敏性鼻炎之營養自然療法

植物與藥草類              冬蟲夏草、苜蓿汁、大麥苗、OPC、銀杏、迷迭香酸萃取物、綠茶萃取物                                                                                  

動物類                          蜂膠、魚油

  益生菌                          嗜乳酸桿菌等

  維生素                          C、E、B3、B5、B6

  酵素類                          各種植物酵素、輔酵素Q10、SOD

  礦物及微量元素     鈣、鎂、鋅

賀爾蒙類                      DHEA

類黃酮類                      芸香鹼、檞皮素

其他                              有機鍺、α硫辛酸、NAC、β聚葡糖、甲硫基烷

 

一般自然營養療法治療鼻過敏機轉包括有：

1.      調節免疫機能，使過敏反應減輕或消失。

2.      抗組織胺效應。

3.      保護鼻黏膜組織正常運作。

4.      抗氧化。

5.      抗發炎。

6.      增加腸道生理運作正常，減輕腸漏症，進而減少大分子物質或過敏原進入血液及淋巴循環中。

 

  以魚油為例（非魚肝油），因其含豐富的ω-3脂肪酸EPA和DHA，可競爭花生四烯酸，因此可減少一些壞的發炎前驅物質，因此有抗發炎及抗血栓作用，又可降低過敏反應相關細胞素的產生，如間白素一型及二型和腫瘤壞死因子，另外研究顯示魚油可抑制與皮膚延遲過敏反應相關之B及T細胞合成。

 

  又如益生菌攝取，可競爭抑制腸道壞菌，如此對於腸道健康多所助益，因此減少過敏物質或是未消化完全的大分子結構物質進入人體循環中，不但減輕人體免疫負擔，更可減少身體任何器官的過敏反應，因此包括鼻過敏、氣喘、異位性皮膚炎或乳糖不耐症等；另外還有增加腸蠕動，排宿便的好處。建議可補充益生菌粉製劑。

 

  不過任何自然療法食品需在有經驗醫師操作下方能達到預期效果，一般患者切忌在人云亦云的情形下亂服用，否則也是有可能花了冤望錢卻看不到效果。

[MiLB]Mark Trumbo

Mark Trumbo, who will be 23 this spring, hit a combined .281 with 32 homers, 93 RBI, 83 runs, eight steals, a .325 OBP and a .540 SLG in 530 at-bats between high Class-A and Double-A last season. With the departure of Mark Teixeira via free agency, and the trade that sent Casey Kotchman to the Atlanta Braves, the Angels are left with Kendry Morales to man first base. Word from many scouts at the Arizona Fall League (AFL) is that Trumbo is not too far behind.

One scout told me that Trumbo is likely to start the season at Double or Triple-A, but not to count him out for the big league roster. The scout also mentioned that Trumbo is poised, consistent with his swing and although he has a long swing he can keep it in the zone longer than most the prospects that were at the AFL.

Fantasy Impact : He's a guy you may want to stash away in deep AL only leagues.
