GA 大叔今年對猴子最大的貢獻就是把自己塞進 DL。 Heading into Monday's contest, Willits had hit safely in 38 of his last 50 games, while reaching base safely in 43 of 51 games with an at-bat. He is first among American League rookies in batting average (.329), on-base percentage (.433), runs scored (34) and stolen bases (16). His 57 hits are second among his rookie peers. 取代 GA 大叔的菜鳥‧威利斯，打擊表現亮眼。 Any talk of a legitimate bid for Rookie of the Year honors was met with little more than a smile. "I don't think about stuff like that," the mild-mannered Willits said. "I just try to go out and play. It's such a long season. It's hard to say what's going to happen throughout the year. 威利斯是個溫和有禮貌的奧克拉荷馬青年，他說他不敢想所謂 ROY 這種東東。 "I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to play, and so far, I've played, in my opinion, pretty well. I wouldn't say I'm surprised. I don't mean that to sound cocky or anything like that, but as a baseball player, you have to have confidence in your abilities or you probably wouldn't be here." 「不過說真的，在下打得還不賴吧。」 Willits has proven especially adept at decoding the pitching cipher in foreign ballparks, boasting a .376 road average. But his most recent road trip, a nine-game, 10-day excursion through St. Louis, Cincinnati and Dodger Stadium, caused a bit of discomfort -- or a glimmer of discomfort in his mind at least. 威利斯在客場表現更精彩，不過近來感覺有點異樣。 "There was about a week and a half period -- this last road trip -- where I wasn't feeling as good at the plate," Willits said. "It really wasn't my swing or nothing. It was just that teams were attacking me a little bit, and I had to adjust to that." 「在下如今也變成各隊盯上的目標了。」 Flaunting a .376 road average usually will incite that sort of "attack," but Willits responded with eight hits in 20 plate appearances while drawing six walks for a .400 average during that span. He scored four runs, drove in four more and stole a pair of bases. Some adjustment. 儘管如此，威利斯仍然不受影響。 "Reggie has been a catalyst," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's allowed us to move Gary Matthews down [to the No. 4 spot] and added depth to our lineup. He's had a profound effect on what we've done offensively. He brought balance into a lineup that was really looking for a guy who could work counts and could get on base. He's been a great fit." 今年運氣最好的屠戶，麥說瞎，向記者誇耀他了解何謂打線的平衡。 Willits has been working counts better than any batter in the league, ranking first in percentage of pitches taken with 68 percent (626 pitches taken of 920 seen). 威利斯是當今最有耐心的打者，他放過了 68% 的來球。 "I've always looked at a lot of pitches," Willits said. "I feel like there's a certain area I can attack a ball. If it's not in that area, I just don't swing at it until I get two strikes. If a pitcher gets up there and throws two good pitches -- even though they're strikes, but they're not in a zone that I can do something with -- then I'm not going to swing at them." 「在下很有耐心，而且在下只對進入設定範圍的球路進行攻擊。」 Willits apparently knows what he's doing. 讓我們支持威利斯兼任猴子的打擊教練。以下是其他填版面用的東西： Kotchman update: After suffering a concussion-inducing blow to the head by a throw at second base from Dodgers catcher Russell Martin on Saturday, first baseman Casey Kotchman said he felt "better than yesterday," but has no timetable in mind for his return. 烤雞感覺好一點了，不過不知道啥時能回來。 "I'm just trying to feel better every day," he said. "Once I knock out the symptoms, I can get back after it." 「我會每天都讓自己狀況更好，然後就能回來打球了。」 The symptoms include "mild and periodic" headaches, lightheadedness and ocular sensitivity to light. A steady dose of sleep, inactivity and Tylenol have yielded positive results thus far, and Kotchman plans to follow this regimen until he can return to physical activity. 腦震盪讓人不舒服。 "I'll take it easy today," Kotchman said. "Until the headaches go away, it's good not to do anything else, or the headaches aren't going to go away. If you're doing stuff with the headaches, you're going to make it worse." 「急著緩解症頭反而會弄巧成拙阿。」 The injury will grant opposing pitchers temporary reprieve from the offensively apt first baseman's ever-progressing command in the batter's box. In his last 10 games, Kotchman racked up 17 hits with three jacks and nine RBIs for a staggering .472 average over that span. Against Cincinnati, Kotchman recorded three-hit performances last Tuesday and Thursday. 烤雞已是小翅膀快砲裡另一個火力骨幹。 "It's always frustrating not being able to contribute, but it's one of those things you can't really do anything about." 「唉，不能上場，真無奈。」 Down on the farm: Outfielder Chris Pettit and designated hitter Matt Sweeney of the Class A Cedar Rapids Kernels were named starters for the West roster o f the Midwest League's All-Star Game on Tuesday. 農情報導：Chris Pettie 和 Matt Sweeney 獲選為中西聯盟明星賽先發野手。 Catcher Hank Conger, the Angels' first pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, was selected as a reserve for the contest, along with infielder P.J. Phillips and pitchers Doug Brandt and Tim Schoeninger. 其他四個麥子隊員則入選明星賽替補。 On deck: Burly right-hander Bartolo Colon (6-2, 5.73 ERA) looks to ride the momentum of Thursday's win against Cincinnati when he faces Houston's Jason Jennings (0-1, 3.18) to resume Interleague Play at Angel Stadium on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. PT. 新片預告：驚聲尖叫：肚破腸流的賽揚獎得主。 </內文>  -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.75.190.66
