老虎論壇又來啦~~這次是關於自由市場哪條大魚最適合?? 三個作者三種觀點我很懶只做簡單翻譯大伙加減看XD Paul Wezner, Executive Editor The Tigers have clearly outlined what their need is going into the off-season - they need a run producing, middle-of-the-order bat, someone that will actually drive in runs. That criteria eliminates Carl Crawford, who while an excellent player, isn't much of a run producer. He also still relies heavily on his legs, a skill that will surely erode him as he ages. Instead, the Tigers best bet is free agent outfielder Adam Dunn. The left-handed power hitter fits the bill to a tee from an offensive standpoint, and will just have to be worked around to find the right mix of playing time. But he can arguably be "good enough" in right field, can occasionally sub in for Miguel Cabrera at first when he needs a day off, and can spend the rest of his time DH'ing. It's not a perfect fit from a defensive standpoint, but it fits well enough to make it work, and given that this move is about offense, not defense, there's no better option on the docket. Paul Wezner認為Crawford是個好球員，但非球隊需要的run producer，且極端依賴腿 (速度)，將容易隨著年紀增長而失速。 Adam Dunn是最好的選擇，左打具有POWER，如果他守備好到可以站RF(BIG if)，在偶爾跟米糕輪休1B/DH，對團隊防守來說可能不是個好消息，對攻擊卻是大大的升級。 Mark Anderson, Managing Editor There are actually quite a few targets for the Tigers this winter, and that makes it a little difficult to pick THE top priority. The Tigers need bullpen help, another starting pitcher, a shortstop (at least until Peralta is re-signed), a backup catcher, an outfielder, and a designated hitter. That's a lot of holes to fill, but the clearest priority to me has to be at least one big bat. This team cannot go into the 2011 season with only Miguel Cabrera as a serious offensive thread. For all the virtues that may or may not be provided by Austin Jackson, Ryan Raburn and the rest of the cast of characters that project to be the lineup next year, there would still be no reason for opposing teams to pitch to Cabrera. The most obvious candidates for a serious bat are the big three of Carl Crawford, Adam Dunn, and Jayson Werth. Given their respective ages, strengths, and weaknesses, I think the big target here for the Tigers is Crawford. He offers offensive versatility and big time skill, solid left field defense, and some semblance of youth. That trio makes him the top player that fills the Tigers needs, and though he will likely cost a pretty penny, he should be worth it. With his stated desire to avoid huge media markets, and some recent statements that he would have a hard time playing against a former East Division rival, that may put Detroit in a prime position to compete with someone like the Angels for is services. Mark Anderson：老虎這個冬天需要補的洞其實不少，牛棚、至少一位SP、SS(至少在確定續簽Peralta)、backup catcher(先追V-Mart再說)、OF、DH…. 11球季沒有理由再讓米糕一人獨撐打線(沒有其他砲保護的結果，10season故意四壞聯盟第一) 今年自由市場的三巨頭Carl Crawford, Adam Dunn, and Jayson Werth. Mark Anderson第一選擇為CC，不只對打線提供各種幫助、良好的LF防守加上年輕不到30歲，儘管一定不便宜，但絕對值得。目前的優勢在於他看來不喜歡太受人矚目，排斥達市場球隊(北佬、肥襪…ㄎㄎ)，讓我們站上領先者的地位!! Jason Avery, Associate Editor, Amateur Baseball It's hard to say, but I would probably go with Carl Crawford. The Tigers certainly are in need of offense, and while Victor Martinez and Adam Dunn (two other players the Tigers will certainly at least kick the tires on) provide that, there is the matter of where their future homes lie positionally. Dunn is pretty much a DH with Miguel Cabrera at first base, and he has said that he wants to still play in the field, so unless he's willing to be a full-time designated hitter, I would guess Dunn would go to a team that will allow him to play in the field. With Martinez being a catcher, there is the matter of Alex Avila. Are the Tigers ready for Avila to be the full-time catcher? If not, Martinez would make sense in that the Tigers could continue to gradually phase in Avila with Martinez eventually becoming the DH in time. On Crawford, he would give the Tigers a left-handed bat that the team could hit either at the top of the order, or in the middle of the order, although given the money he's going to get, I would suspect he'll hit in the latter area. Crawford also fills a need in the outfield, as the Tigers don't have a clear outlook with who will flank Austin Jackson on the corners. There will be plenty of competition for Crawford, and if the Tigers feel that they won't be able to land him, I fully expect them to jump on the other top bats, or perhaps do something via trade. A lot of dead money is officially gone, and with an owner who badly wants to win, this is shaping up to be one of the more eventful offseasons in Tigers history. Jason Avery：恩…該怎麼說呢….我還是會押寶在Carl Crawford，Victor Martinez and Adam Dunn也不錯(至少老虎絕對都會嘗試追看看)，Dunn的問題在於防守，看來還是全職DH最適合他；V-Mart的問題在於球隊怎麼看Alex Avila，如果簽下來是可以讓Avila再多至少兩年的時間慢慢成長，V-Mart休息的時候就去DH。 Carl Crawford的好處：攻擊全面提升、速度、防守，但是要花大錢(怎麼跟Anderson說得一模一樣…)，不管就是他了最後，今年團隊薪資去了60M，球團有不少銀彈可以撒，就算最後一個大咖都沒追到，利用交易找大牌來也是可預期的結果，因為我們有個"想贏想到要死"的大老闆，這個季外對老虎來說，將是個決定性的冬天 (發現Werth被忽略了...怎麼回事@_@) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.44.169.8
