To Be Determined Projected bullpen Closer: Jose Valverde, 15 saves, 2.44 ERA in 2005 RH setup man: Brandon Medders, 1.78 ERA in 2005 LH setup man: Terry Mulholland, 4.27 ERA in 2005 The new guys Batista:右投手在去年從藍鳥隊給交易過來的，去年還在藍鳥隊擔任終結者但加入響尾蛇之後既將可能排入先發輪值表。 Byrnes:簽下自由球員的他，預計先擔任中外野手的工作，直到Chris Young 上到大聯盟，不過他可能被排在第二棒或者面對左投手時被排在第一棒的角色。 Estrada:拿Lance Cormier和Oscar Villarreal從勇士隊換來的捕手，在去年 Chris Snyder在打擊不振的情況下，Estrada的加入能在打擊上提升火力支援。 Damion Easley,INF/OF:這名工具人在加入響尾蛇之後，在整個內野或外野上有著很好調度，不管是在經驗和板凳上對響尾都有很大的幫助。 Jason Grimsley, RHP:在牛棚方面加入了老經驗的他，正好也取代了Tim Worrell 擔任setup man的工作。 Hernandez:從Javier Vazquez交易案所換來球員之一，El Duque也預計是球隊第四號的先發投手，他的生涯也歷經不少的大比賽，健康上的問題仍需注意。 Hudson:從Tory Glause交易案所換來球員，Hudson也將擔任先發二壘手的工作球團將借重他金手套的實力，也可在球場上帶動球員的士氣。 Luis Vizcaino, RHP:也是從白襪隊交易過來球員之一，Vizcaino是一名耐用的救援投手，他將在中繼投手中演關鍵的角色。 Prospects to watch Jackson:OK,Tony Clark雖然去年有30支全壘打，但原則上他還是今年的先發一壘手。 Stephen Drew:他將預計先從AAA開始，但如果需要他的話你將很快看到他上大聯盟打球。 Carlos Quentin:他跟Stephen Drew情況類似，但他比Drew更快能上來。 Chris Young:響尾蛇未來的中外野手，今年會到AAA打一年，響尾蛇也不排除在今年讓他在大聯盟亮像。 Returning from injury Estrada:在去年被Darin Erstad衝撞本壘時受傷，但不影響尾他2006球季。 On the rebound Ortiz:因為肋骨受傷而錯過兩個月的球季，也是生涯第一次進受傷名單，球團仍需要他敗部復活。 Long gone Royce Clayton:雖然球團有對他提出一年的offer給他，但他要想一份複數年合約最後搞到跟國民隊簽下小聯盟合約:p。 Troy Glaus:去年簽下來的三壘手，共四年合約，響尾蛇將必須發現方式替換他的 37支全壘打。 Javier Vazquez:仍然在球季結束要求球隊把他給交易，他也是在去年Randy Johnson 交易案所換來當第一號先發投手，最近兩年可以投超過200局以上的投手。 Tim Worrell:老將Worrell在去年九月份成功扮演不錯的setupman角色，在offseasaon 也跟巨人隊簽下二年合約。 2005 hitting leaders (min. 200 at-bats) Avg.: Tracy, .308 OBP: Clark/Gonzalez, .366 SLG: Clark, .636 Runs: Green, 87 RBIs: Glaus, 97 Hits: Green, 166 2B: Gonzalez/Green, 37 3B: Several with 4 HR: Glaus, 37 SB: Counsell, 26 2005 pitching leaders (min. 30 IP) IP: Webb, 229 W: Webb, 14 L: Vazquez, 15 Win %: Cormier, 7-3, .700 S: Valverde, 15 ERA: Medders, 1.78 K: Vazquez, 192 K/9: Valverde, 10.18 WHIP: Valverde, 1.07 Triple play: Three questions that need answers 1. How much will Jackson contribute? Much has been made about the 37 home runs the Diamondbacks lost by trading Glaus to the Blue Jays, but with Clark moving into a backup role so Jackson can start at first, that's another 30 homers missing from the lineup. The Diamondbacks don't expect Jackson to hit 30 homers, but if their offense is to be as good as last year's, he'll have to be a major contributor. The 23- year-old has the tools and seems to have the right mindset for success in the Majors. He got some valuable experience in the big leagues last season and has nothing left to prove in the Minors. 2. Is the bullpen better? Last year, the Diamondbacks bullpen was on pace to be one of the worst statistically in Major League history before a solid September made their numbers a bit less ugly. Essentially the same crew is back for 2006 and yet the club expects the 'pen to be much improved. That's because Arizona added a couple of pitchers it feels good about and expects improvement from some of the bullpen's younger members. The Diamondbacks got Vizcaino in the Vazquez trade and the right-hander has proven to be a reliable reliver with a resilient arm over the past few years. In addition, the D-Backs think they unearthed a gem in veteran Grimsley, who pitched well last September for Baltimore and whose sinker makes him a good fit in Chase Field. Another reason for optimism is closer Valverde, who seemed to put things together in the second half last year. Right-hander Medders also pitched very well in his first taste of the big leagues and the club expects him to only get better with more experience 3. Can Ortiz rebound? When the Diamondbacks gave Ortiz a four-year deal before last season, they thought they were getting a pitcher that would win games and chew up innings. They got neither in 2005 as Ortiz struggled with his command and put far too many runners on base. To make things even more painful for him, he suffered a rib injury and spent time on the disabled list for the first time in his career. The D-Backs need a bounceback season from Ortiz in the worst way. The bottom line With the starting lineup all but set, the spring will give manager Bob Melvin a chance to tinker with his batting order to try and find the right combinations. He will also use the time to evaluate prospects Drew, Quentin and Chris Young. From a pitching standpoint, Melvin will need to figure out who will fill the No. 5 spot in the rotation and assess newcomers like Batista and Hernandez. The biggest competition will be in the bullpen. It appears that Valverde will be the closer, but Melvin will need to figure out who will set him up as well as who will fill out the final few spots. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.203.194.12 ※ 編輯: Rioss 來自: 203.203.194.12 (02/14 08:15)
