Interesting article. Will finish the second part translation later today. ========================== From STL-Post Dispatched http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/matheny-contracts- can-t-be-ignored-in-setting-bullpen-roles/article_92da9db5-ecb9-591d-99 39-e1d2e2762f8a.html Matheny: Contracts can't be ignored in setting bullpen roles By Derrick Goold The Cardinals have had internal discussions during manager Mike Matheny's tenure about when, if ever, they would consider using the closer earlier than the ninth, when perhaps the true save situation is the eighth inning against the heart of the order. 在Mike Matheney就任總教練後，紅雀隊內部曾討論一個議題－如果，在某些時候讓終結者提早上班，例如第八局遇上對方的中心打線，比原本預定的第九局更需要終結者的強力救援。 The closer might not get the stat. The team would get the win. 如此一來終結者很可能無法獲得救援成功紀錄，但球隊能因此而獲得勝利。 Matheny said Sunday it's appealing, but the save stat cannot be ignored. 就在上個星期天，Matheny表示這個想法雖然很吸引人，「救援成功」這個棒球紀錄的重要性，不能因此被忽略。「You want to be respectful, too, to what these guys are trying to do individually,」 Matheny said. 「For us as a team to move forward certain things need to happen and a lot of times it's trying to create an atmosphere where each of these guys are able to achieve everything, and there are contracts involved. There are personal statistics that help drive personal achievement as far as salaries go. For us to be completely oblivious to that, I think is a mistake as well. Matheny表示，(雖然幫助球隊勝利很重要，但是)你必同樣尊重球員的個人成績。對我們來說，一個球隊要能順利運作，必然伴隨著許多因素，很大一部分包括塑造一個良性的氣氛，讓每一個球員達成各自的目標成績，包括合約裡的那些目標。而談到個人的目標成績，就跟球員薪水脫離不了關係。所以身為教練，我認為不能只注重球隊勝負，而完全忽略個人成績的重要性。「Then you start having some friction,」 Matheny continued. 「There are outside influences that are constantly pushing these guys toward the statistics that are going to get them paid someday, right?」 Matheny繼續說到，因為薪水，球隊勝利與追求球員個人成績，就可能產生摩擦，一直以來，都有球場以外的因素，持續地影響球員，以追求個人成績與賺取更多薪水為優先，不是嗎？ Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal earned an All-Star invitation this season and has been among the league leaders in saves all season. He used to annually talk about wanting to be a starter someday, but that conversation has faded as he's had success in the ninth inning and also been told how much money can be earned in that role as he reaches arbitration. He will be eligible for the first time this winter. The backbone of any closer's arbitration case is saves; newcomers Steve Cishek and Jonathan Broxton have both seen their salaries inflate in their turns as closers for Miami and the Dodgers, respectively. 紅雀隊終結者Trevor Rosenthal在今年入選國聯全明星隊，並且在球季中持續領先聯盟的救援成功紀錄。雖然Rosenthal每年都提到希望能轉任先發投手，但正因為他擔任球隊終結者的優異表現，以及了解到一個成功的終結者可以在球員薪水仲裁上獲得怎樣的好處，Rosenthal也就不再堅持要轉任先發，這個球季後剛好是Rosenthal 符合薪水仲裁的第一年。對於任何一個終結者來說，救援成功紀錄最關乎於薪水仲裁的成敗，紅雀隊新交易來的Steve Cishek與Jonathan Broxton，分別因為擔任過邁阿密馬林魚隊與洛杉磯道奇隊的終結者，而獲得大幅度的薪水調升。 Matheny, sitting in the dugout hours before Sunday's game, said the stat itself is arbitrary. (「Why a three-run lead?」 he asked, rhetorically, 「and not a two-run lead?」) But it has influence over decisions because it has importance to the team. 「Guys are compensated for that and for us to turn a blind eye to that is not looking for what's best for all of our guys,」 Matheny said. 「Complex answer, but I think it's a complex question. I think the salary structure might start to differ because of this conversation and that would be possibly good. … What it comes down to is winning. We also believe that we have guys who can get us through those tough innings.」 A year ago, the Cardinals had Carlos Martinez assigned to the eighth inning, but in a game against Pittsburgh, Matheny went to the young reliever early because the middle of the Pirates' lineup came up and the game was in doubt. It makes sense, the manager said, to use the best relievers at the moment they can most alter the outcome of the game. A way to do that while also being respectful of the save stat — and the pressures of the final three outs, Matheny stressed — is to have other options as reliable as the team's closer. That's the flexibility he hopes to have with the trade-deadline additions of Cishek and Broxton. They join lefty Kevin Siegrist and righthander Seth Maness as four pitchers Matheny said he can shuffle through the bridge innings based on matchup. It's not necessarily going to be one reliever assigned each of the final three innings as it was when Edward Mujica was a seventh-inning man in 2012. Instead it could be the chance to use the reliever throwing the best at the point in the game when outs are crucial, even if a save won't be awarded. 「You're going to see that with us now,」 Matheny said. 「I think you're going to see juggling in the set-up roles. The argument always comes back to who is your best reliever and do you want them in there against the best part of the order? And the answer is, you know, all things considered, yes. But there are things from the outside that influence that decision. What we've been able to do with the front office re-arming our bullpen is have more flexibility.」 -- 出國就是為了回國入團就是為了脫團 (煙~) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.226.200.197 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Cardinals/M.1438628417.A.128.html
