翻完才覺得沒重點，有錯誤歡迎指正，加減看看。原文出處：http://ppt.cc/ieQz After a pair of 81-81 seasons, the Arizona Diamondbacks regressed to 64-98 in 2014, teaming injury woes with dreadful starting pitching and poor on-base skills. Now with club president Tony La Russa, general manager Dave Stewart and manager Chip Hale, the D-Backs embark on a new era. There's some roster turnover, but not enough just yet for realistic optimism. 歷經81-81的球季後，傷兵之痛、糟糕透的先發陣容外加慘烈的上壘能力，2014年的小蛇退步到64-98。如今隨球隊高層Tony La Russa、總經理Dave Stewart及總教練Chip Hale 的走馬上任，小蛇將開始一個嶄新的時代。 Probable lineup 預測打線 1. A.J. Pollock, CF 2. David Peralta, LF 3. Paul Goldschmidt, 1B 4. Mark Trumbo, RF 5. Yasmany Tomas, 3B 6. Aaron Hill, 2B 7. Chris Owings, SS 8. Tuffy Gosewisch, C Bench: C Oscar Hernandez, IF Cliff Pennington, OF Ender Inciarte, OF Cody Ross There's one more bench spot with guys like Gerald Laird, Peter O'Brien, Jordan Pacheco and Nick Ahmed in the mix. As for the lineup, it's possible we'll see Hill hop back up to the two-hole. 板凳可能的人選還包括Gerald Laird, Peter O'Brien, Jordan Pacheco and Nick Ahmed 等人；至於打線部分，我們有可能看到Hill重返第二棒角色。 Probable rotation 預測輪值 1. RHP Jeremy Hellickson 2. RHP Chase Anderson 3. RHP Josh Collmenter 4. RHP Rubby De La Rosa 5. RHP Allen Webster Patrick Corbin and Bronson Arroyo are both on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery. Trevor Cahill is in the mix here, too, as are Vidal Nuno, Robbie Ray and maybe eventually prospect Archie Bradley. Patrick Corbin and Bronson Arroyo都是從TJ手術尋求東山再起，Trevor Cahill、 Vidal Nuno、 Robbie Ra等人也是可能人選，也許最後還有潛力新秀Archie Bradley這個選項。 Probable bullpen 預測牛棚 Closer: RHP Addison Reed Setup men: RHP Brad Ziegler, RHP Evan Marshall, LHP Oliver Perez Middle men: RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Matt Reynolds Long man: RHP Randall Delgado Righty setup man David Hernandez is coming off Tommy John surgery as well. 右投David Hernandez也正從TJ手術康復中。 Under-the-radar offseason transaction Well, what they got back for Wade Miley wasn't really under the radar, I don't like how Hellickson fits -- as I've noted before -- and Tomas certainly wasn't under the radar. You know what kind of was, though? Hiring Chip Hale as the manager. There wasn't much made of the hiring at the time because he's not a big name nor does he have any MLB managerial experience.I love the fit, though. Hale was the A's bench coach for the past three seasons -- all playoff seasons with a low-payroll ballclub. He does have plenty of minor-league managerial experience, including three seasons with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate. He also was the bench coach during the D-Backs' 2007 playoff run. He also played college baseball for the University of Arizona. It's a great match. I believe Hale is going to prove a good big-league manager, which of course is most important. He's known as a big work ethic guy with strong leadership qualities and loads of energy. It's a perfect fit for a ballclub looking to rebuild. 季後重要交易換出Wade Miley得到的回報不怎麼樣，Hellickson適合小蛇的點不知道在哪裡，Tomas也不怎麼受到關注。聘Chip Hale為總教練算不上什麼重大斬獲，因為他不是大咖，也沒有任何大聯盟執教經驗，雖然我覺得蠻適合的。 Hale過去三季是運動家的板凳教練，而這低薪的球隊在這三季都有打進季後賽。他確實有豐富的小聯盟執教經驗，其中有三季帶的是隸屬小蛇的3A球隊；小蛇打進季後賽的2007 年，他也是小蛇的板凳教練；大學時代的他更是效力於亞利桑那大學棒球隊。真是絕配。我相信Hale將會證明自己是名優秀的大聯盟教頭，這也是最重要的。他被認為是一個重是工作倫理的人，擁有卓越的領導品質，並充滿活力，這樣的特質絕對適合來帶領一支重建中的球隊。 Fantasy sleeper: Allen Webster, SP Just over two years after acquiring him from the Dodgers in a nine-player megadeal, the Red Sox gave up on Webster as a future part of their rotation, and now he will get a chance to stick as a starter with the Diamondbacks. Control has never been Webster's strong suit and his relationship with the strike zone has been especially tenuous in his major league stints, but he's got the bat-missing thing down. In 89 1/3 innings, he has caused batters to whiff on more than 12 percent of his pitches and he has a long history of high swinging strike rates as a minor leaguer. Because of his lackluster big league resume, you won't need to target Webster outside of deep leagues on Draft Day, but if he shows even decent control in the early going, act quickly to snap him up. Fantasy爆冷門黑馬：Allen Webster, SP 兩年前紅襪在與道奇的九人大交易中盤來Webster，現在則是放棄讓他成為未來輪值的一部分，而改當小蛇的他將有機會站穩先發投手。控球從來不是Webster的強項，在有限的大聯盟亮相機會裡，他與好球帶的關係一直是特別的不熟，但他卻有辦法讓打者揮空。 89 1/3的局數裡，他的投球讓打者的揮空率超過12%，這項數據在他身為小聯盟球員時更是高得嚇人。由於沒有顯赫的大聯盟成績，你不必在Fantasy的選秀日就瞄準他，但他如果一開季就展現出像樣的控球力，請趕快行動網羅他吧。 Biggest strength: Middle-of-the-order power With full, healthy seasons from Mark Trumbo and MVP-caliber first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, the D-Backs have two players who should hit at least 30 homers. Newly signed Yasmany Tomas is said to have 30-homer potential himself, too. We're still shaking off the video-game numbers from the so-called Steroid Era, but let's keep in mind that 30-homer guys are relatively rare these days. There were only 11 last season and only the Blue Jays had more than one guy get there. That Arizona has three men capable of topping 30 is a big plus for the offense -- especially since they only hit 118 last season and no one even got to 20, largely because of Goldschmidt (19 homer) only playing 109 games due to injury. 最大優勢：中心打線火力擁有健康打滿整季的Mark Trumbo以及MVP等級的一壘手Paul Goldschmidt，小蛇應該就會有兩名球員可以打出至少30轟，而新簽下的Yasmany Tomas也被認為有30轟的潛力。我們仍無法遺忘那所謂的類固醇年代造就的電玩般成績，但我們得記得，這些日子以來能敲出30轟的傢伙已經相對稀少了；過去11季裡只有藍鳥隊做到同隊兩名以上的球員能跨過這個門檻。握有三名30轟能力選手對小蛇的進攻來說是大加分，特別是去年團隊只有 118轟，甚至沒人20轟，主要是因為Goldschmidt只打了109場比賽就因觸身球進傷兵名單，以19轟作收。 Biggest weakness: Rotation Until the upside of Corbin and the stability of Arroyo return to the rotation down the line -- assuming no setbacks -- the starting rotation is lacking. Hellickson's fly ball tendencies are a bad fit for Chase Field, as I've noted before, and they'll need to see development from de la Rosa and Webster. It's absolutely possible that this problem goes away during the season, but a lot would have to happen. Corbin would need to come back at full strength, Hellickson would need to keep the ball in the park like he never has before, Webster and de la Rosa would need to grow into productive MLB starters and either Collmenter proves effective or Trevor Cahill returns to All-Star form after four years of not being there. Or Bradley gets close to his big upside nearly immediately upon promotion to the majors. Arizona has lots of depth in starters, especially once everyone is healthy, but the upside is sorely lacking to begin the season. 最大劣勢：先發輪值直到王牌Corbin和穩定的Arroyo回到陣中，才能解決輪值問題，如果沒有，這先發輪值殘破不堪。Hellickson的飛球型特性在主場Chase Field出賽極為不利，所以小蛇必須指望de la Rosa及Webster能有所進步。輪值問題的解決可能得等到季中，Corbin必須恢復到最佳狀況；Hellickson不能再像以前一樣，得想辦法把球留在場內；de la Rosa及 Webster需要成長為夠力的大聯盟先發投手；不是Collmenter得證明自己的能力，就是 Cahill需要恢復四年前他還沒來到這裡時的全明星身手；或者是Bradley能立即升級，獲得拔擢至大聯盟。 Outlook The exciting Pollock and the power will be real fun to watch, but the D-Backs will be among the worst in baseball when it comes to keeping the opposition off the scoreboard. Several projection systems have them as either the worst team in baseball or in the conversation. They've surprised before -- their last two playoff appearances were both from seemingly "out of nowhere" -- and anything is possible, but this team doesn't yet look ready to compete. They are especially outmanned by the Giants, Dodgers and the upcoming Padres in the NL West. Instead, a successful season will be seeing what youngsters are part of the solution -- especially in the rotation -- and how the team grows under promising new skipper Hale. Then they can head into the offseason knowing what will get them closer to turning things around. 展望令人驚奇的Pollock和火力升級是觀戰重點，但小蛇仍會在後段班中打轉，力圖壓低對手在記分板上的分數。好幾個預測系統都評定他們會墊底，但最近兩次的季後賽亮相都是在不被看好的情況下打進的；任何事都有可能發生，只是這支球隊看起來還沒準備好加入競爭行列，尤其是得面對國聯西區兵強馬壯的巨人、道奇和來勢洶洶的教士。換句話說，本季是否成功，將視年輕新秀是否能成為球隊拼圖而定，尤其是先發輪值，而球隊的成長則得仰賴新首領Hale；歷經這個球季，他們將更能進一步曉得還欠缺什麼才能扭轉一切。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.126.98.242 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Diamondbacks/M.1425723889.A.3C5.html
