(AP photos) Just when you thought the Yankees and the Red Sox had exhausted all possible manifestation of their intense rivalry ... here come the ballots for the American League Cy Young Award. Both AL East kingpins have suited up their fair share of pitchers on the receiving end of their art's highest award, with Pedro Martinez (1999 and 2000) and Roger Clemens (2001) keeping the honor in the I-95 corridor. But Yankees and Red Sox pitchers have never contested the same Cy Young Award, never finishing in the top two in the vote since the award's inception in 1956. 小王和北極有機會在美聯賽揚中獲得前兩名當你認為洋基和紅襪的世仇之爭已經演到老掉牙、了無新意的時候，總是會有新的劇碼上檔。這一次是美聯的賽揚獎。美東的兩大龍頭早已出產許多巨投獲得這項投手的最高殊榮，如佩卓(1999、2000)和火箭人(2001)都將獎項留在95州際公路上但兩隊的投手可說從未同場競技過這個獎項，自1956年設立以來，從未出現前兩名正好由這兩隊的投手包辦的情況 Well, there is always a first time. Boston's Josh Beckett and New York's Chien-Ming Wang are the respective leaders of their postseason-bound staffs, and both will receive ample support among the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. They are hardly running a match race, but their season-long excellence on the road to 20 wins will be hard to ignore. Their most serious competition will come from another undisputed staff ace, C.C. Sabathia, the big chief of the Cleveland Indians. Right-handers John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar, virtually peers in the Angels rotation, figure to cancel each other out in the voting booth. 但凡事總有第一次，在這兩個幾乎篤定晉級季後賽的隊伍裡，紅襪的北極和洋基的小王目前都是這個獎項的領先者。而可預期的是他們都會在投票中獲得相當的支持。他們並非雙強獨走，但是對兩位本季二十勝的挑戰者來說，他們整季下來的完美表現將無法輕易被忽視他們最強烈的競爭者將來自另一個無異議的王牌投手 -- 沙包，印地安人隊的大酋長。同為天使隊的右投手雷奇和艾斯柯巴，應該會由於票源被分散而機會稍低。 As for relievers, they are simply not invited to this party. The last closer to earn the award, even as saves totals keep skyrocketing, was Dennis Eckersley, back in 1992. The highest-ranking closer in the vote last year -- even after a season without a 20-game winner -- was Francisco Rodriguez, whose 47 saves were worth five ballot points out of a possible 140. Maybe it is time that closers had their own comparable award. The potential inspiration for that is still among us -- San Diego's Trevor Hoffman, who with 519 saves has already surpassed the 511 wins by the pitcher whose name is on the Cy Young Award. 至於後援投手，幾乎沒機會參與競爭。即便救援成功的數量不斷增高，最後一個賽揚的後援投手要回溯到1992年的艾克斯利。就算在一個沒人拿得到20勝的球季，去年得分最高的後援投手，K-Rod， 47場救援成功僅為他獲得140分當中的5個積分或許是時候設立後援投手專屬的獎項了。一個最好的證明仍舊在現役投手的陣容裡 -- 教士隊的霍夫曼，生涯519次救援成功已超越的賽揚的511勝。 FAVORITES 呼聲最高的投手 Wang, Yankees: If Cy Young balloting were like some cell phone plans, Wang would be a shoo-in thanks to rollover votes. He didn't receive a single first-place vote last year, even though he matched winner Johan Santana's 19-6 record. So now he is producing a carbon copy, with no one even close to his two-year record of 37-12 (Santana is 34-17, Justin Verlander 33-14, Roy Halladay 30-12). But what makes Wang truly stand out is his responsibility for the Yankees' contention, through his remarkable consistency. He has not made it to at least the sixth inning only twice in 27 starts. 洋基的小王。如果賽揚獎的票選可以像某些手機計費方案算上去年沒用完的餘額，那麼小王將可輕鬆獲勝。雖然他的戰績和去年的賽揚獎得主山大王一樣是19勝6敗，第一名的選票他連一張也沒拿到。現在他幾乎拷貝了去年的戰績，使得他兩年累計 37勝12敗遠遠超過其他對手(山大王34-17、V少年33-14、好樂迪30-12)。但真正讓小王出線的，是他以他的穩定性肩負起維持洋基競爭力的重任。他過去27場出賽中，只有兩場未能投滿六局 Beckett, Red Sox: Despite a fresh face (Daisuke Matsuzaka) and a cured arm (Curt Schilling), the cognoscenti tabbed Beckett as the key man on Boston's staff -- and he has delivered splendidly, also delivering on his potential. For the fourth consecutive season, Beckett has raised his victory total and has become a smart pitcher, not just a hothead thrower. Leading evidence of that is having more than halved both his walks (74 to 36) and homer yields (36 to 14). But he doesn't stand out on his staff as Wang does on his; not even close. 紅襪的北極。雖然紅襪有個新面孔(牛肉)和一個從臂傷復原的強投(席林)，專家認為北極仍是隊中最關鍵的角色。而他也表現出他的天份與潛力。在他連續的四個球季中，他提升了他的勝場數，也自一個蠻力型投手進化成一個有腦筋的投手。最明顯的證據包括了他把保送數(74->36)和被全壘打數(36->14) 都降到一半一下。但他對於球隊的重要性和小王比較起來，就遠為遜色了。 Sabathia, Indians: Finishing strong to give Cleveland its first 20-game winner since Gaylord Perry (1974) could sway the voting in the big left-hander's behalf. He is certainly worthy, with an amazing strikeouts-to-walks ratio (185-to-33) for a tall lefty -- historically the mold for wildness. Has already posted career highs in innings and strikeouts while matching his single-season high of 17 wins. Eight of his wins have followed Tribe losses. 笑臉人的沙包：如果他能夠持續好的表現，成為笑臉人隊自1974年的派瑞以來第一個單季20勝的投手，那麼他就有機會扭轉選票的流向而雀屏中選。當然他的成績絕對是有得獎的價值，身為一個高大的左投(通常是控球狂野的象徵)，他擁有驚人的三振四壞比率(185-33)。他也早以創下生涯投球數和三振數的新高，以及獲得平生涯紀錄的17個勝場數、其中的8場為球隊止敗。 DARK HORSES 黑馬 Lackey, Angels: A rocky four-start stretch beginning in mid-August probably ejected the right-hander from possibly even the favorite's seat. He surrendered 26 hits and 13 runs in 17 2/3 innings around his clutch Aug. 27 shutout in Seattle. But remember that word "clutch," as well as "workhorse"; he has gone seven-plus innings in 13 of his last 23 starts. And his 8-1 record against the other AL West teams is a big reason for the Angels pulling away from the division. 天使的雷奇：八月中過後，他經歷了四場動盪不安的比賽，讓他在賽揚獎的角逐上，從領先群雄到幾乎失去機會。他在17 2/3局的比賽中被打26安打、掉了13分，雖然中間夾了一場關鍵的完封勝(8/27)。總之，對雷奇的印象請記得"關鍵"以及 "投球機器"。他在最近23場比賽中有13場投到七局以上。且他對其他美聯西區的球隊投出了8勝1敗的戰績，也是天使能夠在分區稱王的關鍵原因。 Escobar, Angels: Many consider the one-time reliever and swing starter the Angels' best money pitcher, who has really flourished once given a permanent place in the rotation. And he could very well end up leading the league in ERA -- on the 30th anniversary of the last time an Angels hurler did so, Frank Tanana in 1977. But he and Lackey are essentially the same pitcher, with virtually identical numbers. 天使的艾斯柯巴：很多人認為這個一度的中繼投手和不定期的先發投手是天使隊投資報酬率最佳的投手。他今天在取得固定輪值的機會後可說完全的開花結果。他也很有可能取得美聯的防禦率王，上一次這個獎項落在天使隊得追溯到30年前的塔那那。但他和雷奇在本質上或在數據上幾乎是一樣的選手。 -- 人，總是殘缺而完美的... 　　　　殘缺的是任誰終其一生都無法得到一切，　　　　　　　　完美的是任誰少了一點就不再是他本人了... 殘缺的我尋尋覓覓找尋著殘缺的你... 且讓我們共同拼出一片無間的完美 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 24.44.15.142
