SUPERMAN A-ROD IN LINE FOR $30 MILLION A YEAR 超人A-Rod可能獲得三千萬年薪 FROM：NEW YORK POST http://0rz.tw/372Nq June 18, 2007 -- IT is easy to forget now in the fusillade of more homers, more RBIs, more greatness that Alex Rodriguez actually slumped for nearly a month this season. 在A-Rod連發全壘打、打點的超凡表現之下，我們幾乎都忘了他本季曾有一個月的低潮。 Yet embedded in that slump were signs that Rodriguez would not only come out in a powerful way, but that this season is so much different than last; that this version of Alex Rodriguez can have a bad streak and it is nothing more than that. Sometimes a slump is just a slump, even for A-Rod. 但在低潮之中，不止隱藏著A-Rod強力復甦的跡象，還顯示了他這季跟以往大不同。這季升級版的A-Rod可以捱過低潮。對A-Rod來說，低潮也只是低潮，沒啥大不了。 "He was just a major league player going through a tough period," hitting coach Kevin Long said. 「他只是個正經歷困難期的大聯盟球員。」打擊教練Kevin Long說。 The tough period is most definitely over. A-Rod is again chasing history, another MVP award and, perhaps, the first $30 million annual contract. He set the tone for a Yankee rout last night with a two-run homer in the first inning off Orlando Hernandez. 困難期顯然已經過了。A-Rod重新開始追逐歷史紀錄、另一座MVP、或許還包括了第一份三千萬年薪的合約。他昨晚從Orlando Hernandez手中擊出一支兩分全壘打，為一波洋基大進擊定下基調。 In an 8-2 Yankee victory over the disheveled Mets, he also lifted a sacrifice fly, walked, doubled and possibly headed afterward to the Daily Planet to meet up with Lois Lane. 洋基以8─2將大都會隊打得潰不成軍。A-Rod貢獻了一支高飛犧牲打、賺到一次保送、一支二壘打。也許待會兒還要趕去每日星球報去會Lois Lane呢。（譯註：每日星球報是超人電影中男女主角工作的地方，Lois Lane是超人女友） In his last 28 games, Rodriguez has 12 homers and 34 RBIs. That is more homers than any Yankee has all season and as many RBIs as Bobby Abreu. Yet it is the 22 games that came before this stretch that accentuates his season. 過去28場比賽裡，A-Rod打出12發全壘打、34分打點。全壘打比任何一名洋基球員整季還多，打點跟Abreu一樣多。但是這波高潮之前的22場比賽，卻更加突顯了A-Rod的球季。 In that span, Rodriguez managed just one homer, five RBIs and hit .225. But here is the thing, as opposed to last year, Rodriguez's whole game did not sink with his offense. Rodriguez's defense has been so much better than in 2007, those 22 games included. He did not take his offensive failures into the field, symbolic that he was not being mentally overwhelmed by the struggles. 在這22場中，A-Rod只打了一發全壘打，5分打點，打擊率.225。但重點來嘍，跟去年相反，A-Rod的整體表現並未跟著進攻表現一起沈淪。這22場也算在內的話，A-Rod的防守表現還是比2007年（2006？）好得多。他並沒有把進攻的不順遂帶到場上，這表示他心理上並未被低潮擊倒。 Why did A-Rod fall into that slump? He had authored a Ruth-ian start: 14 homers, 34 RBIs and a .400 average in his first 18 games. 為什麼A-Rod會陷入低潮呢？他季初表現有如Babe Ruth附身。開季18場比賽裡有14發全壘打，34分打點，.400打擊率。 Nevertheless, the Yanks were just 8-10 because just about no one else was hitting. Rodriguez earnestly began to try to carry a reeling team. The counteraction was that opposing pitchers hardly threw strikes. A-Rod was chasing and came out of the good swing/groove that had delineated his awesome opening act. 然而，當時洋基戰績只有8勝10敗，因為其他人都熄火了… A-Rod認真地想幫助步履蹣跚的洋基振作，結果他隊投手反而都避著他不投好球。A-Rod極力想表現，結果開季超棒的熱潮反而因此退去。 "I got myself out and I had to make an adjustment and accept the walks," A-Rod said. 「我把自己搞出局，結果我得調適，開始接受保送。」A-Rod說。 He re-invested in his teammates, putting faith Yankees who had always hit before would hit again. He began accepting base on balls, and if you follow the genesis of this latest sizzle, A-Rod walked before he ran off this tear. 他重新在隊友身上投資，信任以往打擊優異的隊友們會重開砲火。他開始接受保送。如果你有在注意他最近一波高潮的話，你會注意到A-Rod一開始先被保送，然後才開始打擊狂潮。 " To me, even when he was not living up to April, he still looked relaxed," Joe Torre said. 「對我來說，就算他表現沒有四月那麼好，他看起來仍然很放鬆。」很放鬆又很舒服的拖瑞爺說。 In fact, Torre said this fiery period is more impressive than April because Rodriguez did not let a chilly phase unnerve him. Instead, A-Rod now has 27 homers and 73 RBIs. He is on pace for a 65-homer, 177-RBI season. Do you wonder what that might mean on the open market? I bet Scott Boras does. 事實上，拖瑞爺說這次的打擊熱潮比四月更令人印象深刻，因為A-Rod並沒有受冷掉的低潮影響。相反的，A-Rod現在有27發全壘打，73分打點，照這種速度，整季會有65轟，177 分打點。你知道這在球員市場上代表了什麼嗎？我敢說Scott Bora$一定知道。 In the May 22 edition of LA Weekly, A-Rod's agent was quoted as saying, "I've said it before - there's going to be a $30 million-per-year contract. I don't know when, but there will be one, because baseball revenue will keep growing, and I'm all about the percentage of revenues." 5月22號出的洛城週刊裡，A-Rod的經紀人被引述說：「我以前說過，一年三千萬的合約會出現的，我不知道什麼時候會有，但一定會有。因為棒球運動的收益會持續成長，我的收入可都是看收益的百分比。」 Well, Boras has just one client who can pursue that and it is the one already making a record $27 million a year, the one on pace for a 65-homer season. 恩，Bora$只有一位客戶可以肖想這個高薪，而這位仁兄現在一年已經拿破紀錄的兩千七百萬，他正朝一季65轟邁進。 Rodriguez can opt out after this season, and the strong feeling around baseball and within the Yankee organization is Rodriguez will do just that. It is just so interesting that in the season in which he has most conclusively proven he can handle New York, Rodriguez can escape. A-Rod本季結束後可以選擇逃脫條款。棒球界和洋基球團的強烈氣氛顯示，他會這樣做。有趣的是，在本季A-Rod最有力地證明他搞的定紐約之後，他可以選擇離開。 In fact, Boras will probably use that as negotiating leverage: Look, there is no Kryptonite for this player any more. His current hot streak, after all, came in the same period as front-page revelations involving Rodriguez and a woman not his wife. 事實上，Boras可能會利用這點做為談判籌碼。你自己看，超人已經沒有弱點了。他最近的打擊熱潮可是在報紙頭版爆出緋聞時開始的。 Nothing seemingly can stop Rodriguez now. He has somehow found a way to funnel out all that used to nibble at his psyche and skills. It is now just him, that TNT swing and the baseball. And, for most of 2007, the baseball world hasn't stood a chance. 現在似乎沒有任何事可以阻擋A-Rod了。他找到了辦法過濾掉會影響他心理和能力的困擾。一切只有他自己、那爆炸性的揮擊、和棒球。2007的大半年，棒球世界可是一點機會都沒有。 _____________________________________________________________________________ 還有三篇，希望大家共襄盛舉踴躍認領XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.60.217.24 ※ 編輯: lakerbuster 來自: 210.60.217.24 (06/20 11:39)
