By Melissa Lockard The Oakland Athletics' rebuilding process took an inevitable step on Monday when they dealt their ace Sonny Gray to the New York Yankees for three young players. Now that the A's rebuild is in full swing, what might that process look like and how long will it take for Oakland to be a contender once again? 交易掉Sonny Gray是綠衫重建不可避免的一步，而A's重建會是怎麼樣子?要需要多久才能開始競爭呢? The A's have been flirting with a rebuild since the 2014 offseason, when they traded Josh Donaldson, Jeff Samardzija, Derek Norris and Brandon Moss following a wild-card loss to the Kansas City Royals. However, they didn't fully commit to rebuilding. For every one of those trades, they made veteran additions through free agent signings and low-profile deals, adding players such as Ben Zobrist, Rich Hill, Matt Joyce, Yonder Alonso, Ryan Madson, Rajai Davis, Jed Lowrie, Santiago Casilla, Trevor Plouffe, Adam Rosales and John Axford. Those veterans weren't acquired to fill a long-term need for the team but instead were meant to keep the A's somewhat competitive year after year. That approach didn't net them many wins and prevented the A's from giving younger players a meaningful look in the big leagues. 綠衫在2014年外卡輸掉後，慢慢地開始考慮重建，在季後把隊上大部分的明星球員交易出去。不過，球團那時並沒有決定要徹底的去坦，在2014年季後FO陸續地取得FA或別隊的老將。這些動作沒有半個是長約的而是FO想在2015、16年來拚拚看。不過過程是很糟的。綠衫並沒有拿到很多勝利，這些老將也擋到農場年輕的小將在大聯盟出賽的機會。 Things began to change for the A's in June. Rather than continue to lose with a veteran-laden starting lineup, the A's decided to move forward with their rebuild and give more playing time to their younger players. Veterans Plouffe, Stephen Vogt and, most recently, Rosales were let go to allow Matt Chapman, Bruce Maxwell and Chad Pinder, respectively, the opportunity to take over their roles. Axford also was released. Madson and Sean Doolittle were traded, and, of course, so was Gray. Over the next few months, the A's likely will continue to replace the veterans in their lineup with younger players. If suitors can be found past the non-waiver deadline for players like Lowrie, Alonso and Davis, they also will be dealt. Even if those players aren't traded, the A's likely will give their younger players most of the playing time when rosters expand in September. 不過這個情況在今年的6月開始改變。綠衫開始清位置給年輕的球員。在未來的幾個月球團應該還是會繼續把開位置給小將們，假如有機會在8月交易的話，Alonso，Lowrie，Rajai 一定會被交易掉，不然就是9月擴編的時候把他們位置給這些農場小將們打。 Going into the offseason, the A's roster turnover should continue. The A's likely will explore trading Joyce, Santiago Casilla and other veterans (whether there is a market for those players remains to be seen). In addition, the A's will have a big decision to make about whether to hold onto — and possibly extend — Khris Davis or use him as a chip to continue the rebuilding process. 在今年季後，球團應該還是繼續老將群交易(不管市場價值如何)。此外，球團將會考慮延長還是交易掉Khris Davis。 The end result should be an A's 25-man roster dominated by first-and second- year players in 2018. There will be a few younger veterans on the roster such as Marcus Semien, Kendall Graveman, Sean Manaea and Ryon Healy, but the vast majority of the A's regular lineup will be at the beginning stages of their big-league careers. With a group of prospects currently either getting their feet wet in the big leagues or playing in Triple-A and Double-A, the A's hope they will form the core of their next contending team. Oakland will use the next two years to evaluate those players at the big-league level. Some will find roles with the A's while others will fall back. 明年綠衫開季名單25人應該都是只有年資1年或2年的選手。可能Semien或者Healy等人會在名單上，不過名單上大部份的rosters都會是剛開始他們大聯盟生涯的菜鳥。現在在農場有不少人都快從3A畢業，也有不少人要開始要從2A或3A起步的。綠衫球團希望這些菜鳥們可以組成一個新一代的競爭核心。球團會利用接下來的兩年衡量他們的價值，哪些會找到他們在綠衫的位置哪些會被淘汰。 At the same time the A's are evaluating young players in the big leagues, they also will look to add more talent to the lower levels of their minor league system. The A's have had the sixth overall pick in each of the past two drafts and had big bonus pools to spend because of that draft position. They will be drafting, most likely, in the top 10 again next year. In addition, the A's spent big during the 2016-2017 international free agent period. Their spending put them in the penalty — limiting the A's to spend no more than $300,000 on any international prospect for this year and next. But the hope is that the A's netted several potential top prospects with the haul. Oakland will continue to put a lot of resources into its scouting department to get the best possible returns it can from its draft position, and will spend big on the international market again, once the A's are out of the penalty phase. 除了衡量小將們在ML的價值之外，球團也會著重在選秀和IFA。明年我們也應該會有不錯的 draft pick，而IFA雖然明年被罰款，不過只要懲罰過期(從2019-20年IFA)球團就會開始花大錢。球團也會在球探部門增加更多資源，盡量能在市場上取得最好的新秀。 The A's goal will be to have a group of players with two to five years of service time as the core of their big league roster when they are ready to contend. The A's also will look to build up their farm system so that if that core materializes, Oakland will have the resources to make trades to augment the roster and make a push for a title. If that plan sounds familiar, it should. It is the model that the Houston Astros and the Chicago Cubs most recently used to get into title contention. It is also the plan the Chicago White Sox and the Atlanta Braves are utilizing now. And, if you want to go way back in history, it is similar to the approach the A's took in the mid-1980s in building what would become their Bash Brothers dynasty, and in the mid-1990s when building what would be the early 2000s teams. 球團的最終目標當要拚的時候就能有一個年輕的競爭團隊。還有當競爭核心逐漸成形的時候球團會持續地去增強他們農場，才能有東西去做交易讓球隊變得更強有能去去奪冠。假如這個計畫你覺得很耳熟的話，因為這正是小熊和空仔的組團模型。這也是亞特蘭大勇士和白襪現在再進行的計畫。而綠衫在80年代、90年代中期、2000年初期也有類似的模式。 If all breaks right for the A's, their rebuilding process will end just as they are opening a new ballpark in Oakland. A lot will have to go right for the A's for the timing to work out that way, but it is a goal for the organization to pursue. The most dangerous teams in baseball aren't necessarily the deep- pocketed ones; they are the ones with young stars at the big-league level and prospects other organizations covet. For the A's to be dangerous again, they had to move out of the "one foot in/one foot out" approach to rebuilding that they employed the past two seasons. Now that they are embracing the rebuild, the A's can move forward with a clear direction. 假如一切順利的話，在新球場開幕之時，重建會結束。最危險的球隊並不一定是你杯錢最撒最多的，而是充滿年輕的球員和讓人垂延三尺的新秀的球隊，這才是最危險的。而運動家想要再一次的變得危險，就必須放棄過去兩年邊坦邊競爭的重建方式。現在擁抱了新的方針，綠衫會用更單純更清楚的方式前進。預測明年開季lineup: 1B Healy 2B Munoz SS Semien 3B Chapman RF Olson CF Barreto LF Pinder C Maxwell DH Khris P Manaea 現在在3A已經很成熟的Nunez和Wendle不知道球團規劃是怎樣 #oaklandAtheltics #2020 -- "It's too bad she won't live...
