標題：A-Rod Touts Damon's MVP Candidacy NEW YORK -- Just imagine. That's all the Red Sox could do after sweeping what for them was essentially a meaningless doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. 想像一下紅襪如果將這個重要又無意義週末系列戰清盤～～～ Imagine if the Red Sox didn't get swept by the Yankees in that five-game series last month at Fenway Park. What would the American League East standings look like today 在想像一下如果紅襪在上個月沒有在自家主場被洋基連掃五盤的話，現在美聯東區的排名到底會如何？ Go back even further. What would the playoff picture look like if the Red Sox didn't let Johnny Damon go to the Yankees? 再往回想像一點，如果紅襪沒有讓Johnny Damon到洋基來，整個季後賽的看起來會是怎樣？ "I think they'd be playing in October again," Damon said. Johnny Damon說：『我想他們還是可以在十月（季後賽時）再一次進入吧』 Damon will be playing in October again, this time in pinstripes. The Yankees might not have gotten there without him. Damon 將可以在十月的時候繼續出現，不過這次是穿著條紋球衣。洋基這次不會沒有 Damon一起囉！！ "I'll tell you, he's had an MVP-type year," Alex Rodriguez said. "We also have [Derek] Jeter as having an MVP-type year. Both those guys." A ROD說：『我跟你說，Damon他今年很有MVP的『樣子』，我們JETER一樣有著 MVP的『架勢』，這兩個人都是！！！』 Rodriguez wasn't about to endorse Damon as MVP. He did say, however, that he wouldn't fault someone to list Damon first on the ballot. A ROD並不是在幫Damon背書說他會有MVP。他也並不是要誤導任何人去替Damon 投下第一名的選票 "Absolutely. Yes. Yes," Rodriguez said. "He's changed the team this year. He's changed our team." A ROD 說：『毫無疑問的我會說YES』『他改變了整個隊伍』 You may recall that Rodriguez questioned Jeter's importance to the Yankees in an Esquire story five years ago, chilling their once close relationship. So the last thing he wants to do is publicly throw his support behind Damon. 你也許會想起五年前A ROD 質疑過JETER對洋基的重要，替他們擔憂他們的關係。 A ROD 最不想做的就是在公開場合說明他對DAMON的支持～ "We've talked about this, so I know exactly what [A-Rod's] saying," Yankees reliever Mike Myers said. "He said the same thing to me and then he clarified it. What Johnny does to that lineup in that spot playing in center field, that's more valuable than what has happened just in one year on the field, all the intangibles that Johnny brings. He's not doing that as a potshot to Derek. He's uplifted this team in more ways than any reporter will ever know." Mike Myers說：『我跟A ROD有談過這個。所以我完全知道A ROD 的說法』，『他跟我提過一樣的事情並且澄清它。JOHNNY先發並且帶來許多寶貴的事情，在他鎮守中外野後，那是一種無形的事物』。『他決不是要批評JETER。他總是想辦法想要提升整個球隊實力而用很多不同的方法。』 Rodriguez, a two-time MVP, said Damon's presence at the top of the order has helped Jeter. "Johnny's helped everybody, one through nine. He's just been an unbelievable influence on this team," Rodriguez said, adding that "Derek's having his best year, kind of like what he had with [Chuck] Knoblauch" batting leadoff. A ROD ，這個兩次MVP的人，說DAMON 表現出他也是JETER的第一把好幫手！ A ROD說：『Johnny幫助了大家，從一棒到九棒，他真的令人無法置信的影響了整個球隊』，當然，JETER今年也打出了他最好的一年佳績～～ Jeter said Damon, who is hitting .295 and ranks second in the league in runs (111), has been a difference maker in the AL East standings. "You can say that," Jeter said. "There's a lot of reasons, a lot of things, with what's happened. But I think you can definitely say that's one of them." DAMON，今年有著.295打擊率以及聯盟排名第二的111得分的紀錄，是不同的『製造者』在美聯東區的領先地位。JETER也說：『你可以這樣說，這有許多原因，許多事情』，但是你絕對可以說這是他是他們其中之一 Much like he did in his four seasons with the Red Sox, Damon has made a huge difference in the Yankees clubhouse. He said the Red Sox, who let him go, miss his presence on the field and in the clubhouse. 就像他在紅襪的四個球季一樣，他做了許多不一樣的事情在洋基球隊中。就像他之前告訴過紅襪，那個讓他離開以及失去他幫他們在外野出賽的機會。 "I think just the way we have changed the way the clubhouse atmosphere was here," Damon said. "[The Yankees] not only took a center fielder and leadoff hitter away from Boston but they also took away someone who helped change their clubhouse over there and brought him over here. Someone to step up and take the blame on anything. If anything goes wrong here, these guys can come to me. I don't care. I'll take the pressure." DAMON說：『我想這只是一個方法改變這球隊的氣氛』『洋基不只是需要一個中外野手和首位打者，他們也需要我帶來為球隊一些改變。』『假如任何事情有問題，可以指責我沒有關係，我不會在意，我會承受這種壓力的』 Damon said he was hoping to get a bunch of top-10 votes. His highest finish was 13th last season. He was 16th in 2004 when he helped lead the Red Sox to the World Series championship. DAMON說他希望可以得到前十名的投票。他的最高紀錄是去年的第十三名。他也在 2004年幫紅襪拿下冠軍的那一年得過第十六名。 "Johnny's pretty much in there every day," Jeter said. "He's someone that you can count on. Johnny's consistent, that's the biggest key. He has that consistency factor. He sees a lot of pitches. He gets on base. He steals some bases. We saw enough playing against him." JETRE也說：『Johnny每天作的很多，他是那整你可以信賴的人，他有那樣堅忍的因子，他看很多投球，他可以上壘，盜壘，我們看了他很多的PLAY』 Damon is one of three players in major league history to score more than 100 runs and have 30 doubles in nine straight seasons. The other two are Lou Gehrig (1926-34) and Stan Musial (1946-54). DAMON是唯三的大聯盟球員中，有著單季100分的得分以及30支2壘安打，連續九個球季達成。其他兩個是Lou Gehrig (1926-34) and Stan Musial (1946-54). "Johnny is one of the best players I've ever seen," Rodriguez said. "He does more things to win a game than anyone I've ever seen. I knew he was a great player, a Hall of Fame type player. But he's much better than what I ever thought. I already had him as a Hall of Fame type player. He's unreal." A ROD 說：『JOHNNY是我看過頂尖球員中的一位，他比任何人多做了許多事情去贏得球賽，我知道他是個好球員，也是名人堂類型的球員，他比想像中好太多太多了，我認為他已經是名人堂的球員了，他真的不可思議啊！』～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～譯者imkevin～～～～～～～～～～～～這一偏文章是主要說DAMON，但是由A ROD， JETRE的角度來分析，並且加上了DAMON自己的角度～～希望大家會喜歡～當然～～也錯也請幫忙指正～～謝謝大家～～～～～～～～～～～～ "A ROD 本週再發威，挑戰40全壘打" -- 做任何事情要小心注意～～～不可以太粗心啊！！！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 67.11.178.34
