A's, Beane won't make wholesale changes
Beane無意進行綠帽清倉大拍賣
THERE ARE a million Billy Beanes out there right now mapping out a major
rebuilding course for the Oakland A's. A few even work for newspapers.
現在大概有一百萬個Billy Beane在安排綠帽重建計劃,當中有幾個還是記者。
This may surprise you, but most of the armchair Beanes are a lot bolder than
the main guy. The real Beane believes he has most of his future team in place,
and despite the depressing nine-game losing streak that finally ended
Wednesday you should not be counting on a major overhaul.
或許會讓你感到驚訝,但許多假貨Beane們比真貨來得大膽許多。真實中的Beane認為
綠帽大部分的未來已經到位,即使球隊到星期三才結束令人失望的九連敗,仍沒有理
由讓球隊進場大修。
Eric Chavez, as much as some fans clamor for his exodus, isn't going anywhere.
Neither is Bobby Crosby, unless someone in the system comes along to challenge
him.
Eric Chavez,即使某些球迷疾呼將他賣掉,但他哪裡也不去。Crosby亦然,除非農場中
有人挺身挑戰他的地位。
Mark Ellis is good for two more years before he's free-agent eligible.
The catching job is Kurt Suzuki's unless he shows he absolute can't handle it.
The one question mark is first base, and any day Daric Barton could become
the long-term fixture there
Ellis明年底FA資格取得 ,這兩年多應該是名堪用的二壘手.
捕手的重任交給了Suzuki,除非他表現的荒腔走板讓他不能勝任
關於一壘手的問題,總有一天Barton會上大聯盟,且長期的站穩這個位子
Outfield? Two spots are set for at least the next five years in Nick Swisher
and Travis Buck. Will it really be that big of a challenge to fill that last
spot?
未來五年,外野三個位置中,Swisher跟Buck就預約了兩個,要把剩下來的一個位置
補滿會很難嗎?
As Beane himself noted Tuesday, the bullpen needs very little reworking for
next year. Huston Street will soon return as the long-term closer, and the
A's are loaded with setup men for 2008 and beyond.
Beane自己在星期二提到,為了應付明年球季,牛棚需要的變動相當有限,Street仍是未
來終結者,而現在的綠帽有一票setup可以應付明年甚至往後的球季。
Moreover, the rotation is three-fifths in place for the extended future with
Dan Haren, Chad Gaudin and Joe Blanton.
此外,未來的先發輪值表內,前三號先發就落在Haren,Gaudin,Blanton身上了
So where's the alleged impending wholesale makeover to take place? Simple
answer: It's probably not. This is the roster Beane has built, and he's on the
hook for it, right down to the manager, for the foreseeable future.
所以傳聞中的大拍賣即將到來嗎?簡單地說,或許不會。
綠帽陣容包括總教練在內,都是Beane親手打造,在可預見的未來中,Beane仍會堅守著
它。
The biggest question is whether it can win, either short or long term, with
some of the usual Beane adjustments. Here are the 10 biggest issues
confronting the A's:
最大的問題是Beane做了些調整過後,這支球隊能否贏球,不論是長期或短期而言。
這裡有些自稱是Beane的影舞者,這裡有十項內容有關於運動家的長篇大論.
1. Rich Harden. After three consecutive seasons of being sidelined by injury
for extended periods, it's hard to see how the A's can realistically plot a
future around him anymore. It's a huge setback for Beane, who thought he had
his rotation ace until at least 2010. Now Oakland must consider turning the
page and building a rotation that can compete without Harden in the mix.
Harden.因為他的傷病被迫整季報銷而沒辦法好好打完這三年來的完整球季,
如今看起來,這對運動家如何把他定位相當的傷腦筋.
Beane失算的一點,就是將他定位為一個王牌先發直到2010年底.
現在運動家應該仔細考慮以Harden為主的交易,
來建立起一個沒有Harden的先發輪值.
2. Mark Kotsay. Can Beane find a taker for a heavy contract that runs through
next year considering the player's diminishing returns? If it's an absolute
that the A's must upgrade their offense, this is one obvious spot. His
defense not withstanding, Kotsay's lack of power and on-base are a huge
liability.
Kotsay.就所有情況而言,一名打者能低潮中反彈,
Beane能在明年找到一個類似的人給他一份合約嗎?
假如該名打者能絕對提升運動家的打擊,那也只是平淡無奇的
他的防守沒有缺點,但Kotsay的長打力的缺乏跟低上壘率還是對球隊一種傷害.
3. Esteban Loaiza. Another big contract with which the A's may be stuck.
How do you trade someone who hasn't pitched all year, and except for one
brief stretch a year ago, didn't impress many people when he was pitching?
Beane has to hope Loaiza can make it back in the second half and perform well
enough so that he has a window to move him in the offseason.
Loaiza.又是一個另運動家也許是感到傷害的大合約.
當他投球並不會讓許多人印象深刻,但一年前簽的合約,
感覺上像交易一個人,但他整季報銷,你覺得怎樣?
Beane希望Loaiza能夠在下半季傷後復出,而且能夠帶領運動家開啟季後賽的一扇窗
4. Bobby Crosby. It could be that the 2004 Rookie of the Year was overvalued.
He has so many holes in his swing, and he's not patient, either: 19 walks in
'07. He's been healthy this year, but the A's were expecting a lot more
maturation that simply hasn't occurred
Crosby.拿到04年的新人王有點高估他了.他的揮棒有如盲劍客,
而且他不等球,像今年只拿到19個保送.
今年他健康的出賽,但是運動家期待他有更多的好表現,而不是曇花一現.
5. Suzuki. Now that Jason Kendall is gone, we get to find out if Beane's
long-touted catching prospects can measure up at the major-league level.
Again, offensive potential is a large question mark.
Suzuiki.現在Kendall走了.我們找到一個假如Beane認為可以長期待在大聯盟的捕手新秀
再一次,打擊方面又是一個大問題了.
6. The DH slot. Mike Piazza was a Plan B for Frank Thomas that fizzled, and
it remains to be seen if Jack Cust is the long-term answer. If you need 30
homers and 100 RBIs out of this spot, probably not.
DH方面.Piazza是在沒跟Thomas續約下的另一套方案,
剩下來的球季時間,看起來Cust是長期待在球隊DH的答案.
假如你期待他能敲30隻全壘打及100分打點,也許不可能.
7. Chavez.With him at 29, the days of developmental speculation are over.
What you see is what you get — a superior defensive third baseman with
decent power whose best offensive seasons are probably behind him. He can't
be the main man in the lineup, and even Beane must realize that now.
Chavez.他已經29歲了,他的潛能大概發揮的差不多了.
你在他身上所看到所得到的是一個在三壘防守方面相當優秀,
且有不錯的長打攻擊能力的好手.
他並不能在棒次排到中心打線,這一點Beane應該相當的清楚才對.
8. Dan Johnson. In a lineup where he could play a supporting role, he could
be a valuable asset. But the A's need even more offense from first base,
which is why Barton should be here soon.
Johnson.他在打線上有一定程度的幫助,他是名有價值的選手.
但是運動家需要在一壘方面能有更強悍的攻擊,看起來Barton應該即將上來了.
9. The farm. Travis Buck has been a nice addition, and Santiago Casilla is
finally delivering on his long-held promise. But who else is coming besides
Barton? The system really needs to deliver more and better starting pitching.
Mike Madsen is on the fast track but just got to Triple-A. Dallas Braden
started the year in Double-A and already has his feet wet in the majors, but
it's too early to tell on him, either. Bottom line, is there another Tim
Hudson, Mark Mulder or Barry Zito coming? Again, jury out.
農場.Buck是好的收成品,Casilla也在牛棚中掙到一席之地.但在Barton之後哩?
這個農場需要去挖掘更多更好的先發投手.Madson已經升上了河喵隊.
Braden在2A開始他的新球季,隨時準備好登上大聯盟,但是對他來說還太早了.
同樣的,農場內會有新的三巨投產生嗎?言之過早罷了.
10. The competition. In many ways, the Angels have had a nightmarish year but
are still comfortably ahead of the A's. Seattle, at least temporarily, is a
better club. Texas, since a low-water mark of 23-42, is 18-11. In short,
everybody's making strides but Oakland, and that's just in the West. Scary
prospect: Based on all of the above, it might not be a temporary development.
同區內的競爭.來看分區的其他隊伍,天使的戰績另人感到害怕,
但對運動家而言還算安全距離.
水手最近的表現還不錯,遊騎兵在拿下23勝42敗的爛成績後,打出一波18勝11敗的佳績.
短期內,彼此間的勝差都不大.但是在西區.運動家還不急.
現在還沒有急著拉新秀上來幫忙.
(有些翻的很不順,請見諒 ^^ )
