Bordow: Arizona Diamondbacks doing nothing at trade deadline was their best move 沒有交易就是最好的變動原文網址：http://goo.gl/wn5dSm Baseball’s trade deadline demands action. Do something, anything, even if it's just talk of a big deal or a rumor that lights up social media. 棒球的交易大限需要行動，包括做某件事、做任何事，甚至只是討論階段的大交易或引起社會媒體注意的謠言。 Standing pat has no curb appeal. A team should be good enough to go for it (see the Toronto Blue Jays) or bad enough that it begins the rebuilding process (see Philadelphia Phillies). I’m guessing fans of both those clubs are more optimistic than they were a week ago. 打定主意不換牌就沒有什麼賣點可期。一支夠好的球隊可以積極補強（如藍鳥），或者夠爛的球隊也可以藉此開始進入重建（如費城人），我猜這些球隊的球迷們這一周以來都因此變得更樂觀。 Well, maybe not in the Phillies’ case. 好吧，也許費城迷們並不是。 But what if a team is in no-man’s land, not capable of making a run at the postseason but not so putrid that it should forfeit the season and trade anyone over the age of 30. 但如果是一支面臨不上不下的球隊，可能打不進季後賽，卻又沒有難堪到要放棄球季及交易任何三十歲以上選手的球隊呢？ You know, like the Diamondbacks. 你知道的，就像小蛇。 When Friday's 1 p.m. deadline hit, the Diamondbacks were two games under .500 but 6 1/2 games out of the second wild-card spot in the National League, with four teams ahead of them. 正當周五下午一點的大限時間一到，小蛇距離五成勝率還差兩場比賽，但落後國聯外卡第二名的球隊還有6.5場，且還有四支球隊擋在面前。 The 49-51 record reflects the significant progress the organization has made since last year’s 98-loss debacle. Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa and General Manager Dave Stewart might have hit on two starting pitchers – Rubby De La Rosa and Robbie Ray – and manager Chip Hale has exhibited a deft touch with his in-game decisions, so much so that he should receive some NL Manager of the Year votes. 49勝51敗的紀錄反映著這支去年98敗崩盤般的球隊，已經有了顯著的進展。CBO La Russa 及GM Stewart已經賭對兩名先發投手－De La Rosa和Robbie－還有已靈活展現比賽中決策能力的總教練Hale，他在國聯最佳教練的票選上應該不會缺席。 That said, there’s little chance Arizona overtakes the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West or grabs one of the two wild-card bids. So what should a team do when it’s pretty good but not good enough? 這就是說，小蛇還有一點機會可以在國聯西區趕上躲人，或者拿下兩個外卡席次中的一席。所以這支表現還不錯，卻又不夠好的球隊該怎麼做呢？ Just what the Diamondbacks did: Nothing. 小蛇所做的僅是：什麼都不做。 Oh, dealing veteran infielder Aaron Hill or reliever Oliver Perez might have made sense, but those deals would have had little significance long-term. What Arizona didn’t do, thankfully, was trade part of its future to go on some wild goose chase this year. 呃，交易掉老將內野手Hill或救援投手Perez也許有意義，但這麼做對長期來說只有一點效果。謝天謝地，小蛇沒有送出任何未來的一部分，來做任何徒勞無功的追求。 The temptation was there. Arizona had won five straight games before the trade deadline. The starting rotation had been solidified thanks to Patrick Corbin's return and the unlikely aid of Zack Godley, and Paul Goldschmidt and A.J. Pollock had gotten some help from the rest of the lineup. 還是有誘因存在的；由於Corbin的回歸、雜魚Godley的驚奇演出，先發輪值表現的可圈可點，加上Goldy和Pollock得到打線裡其他人的掩護，交易大限前的小蛇已經五連勝。 Then came the kicker: The Diamondbacks were in talks with the Cincinnati Reds about acquiring closer Aroldis Chapman and his 100 mph fastball. One report had Arizona offering two or three top prospects, including starter Braden Shipley, the 26th ranked prospect in the game. 難題來了，小蛇和紅人討論過擁有100 mph的火球終結者Chapman。報導指出小蛇將送出兩到三名的潛力新秀，包括排名被認定是第26的先發投手Shipley。 You know the saying, that the best deals are sometimes the ones you don’t make? That applies here. Sure, Chapman would have solidified the back end of the bullpen and allowed Brad Ziegler to be used as a set-up man or when the Diamondbacks positively, absolutely had to have a ground ball. Plus, Chapman wouldn’t have been a rental; he’s not a free agent until after the 2016 season and Arizona likely would have approached him about a long-term deal. 你知道這個說法，最好的交易有時就是不做你想做的那些交易，這句話剛好適用於此。當然Chapman可以守住牛棚的最後一道防線，讓Ziegler可以回到佈局投手的位置，或者讓他在小蛇需要滾地球出現的時候登場，加上Chapman不會是個打工仔，因為他要到 2016季後才會成為自由球員，小蛇可能會與他簽下長期合約。 But it would have been asinine for Arizona to trade any of its top minor- league talent – particularly pitching prospects – for Chapman. Good closers aren’t hard to find. Ziegler is the perfect example. And young starting pitching is the most valuable asset in the game. You simply don’t trade that commodity for someone who throws 50 or 60 innings a year. 但是如果小蛇交易任何小聯盟的天才，尤其是投手人才來換取Chapman，那就愚蠢透了；好的終結者並不難尋，Ziegler就是最佳證明。年輕的先發投手是球賽中最有價值的資產，你才不會想要把這種好料拿去換一年只投50或60局的某人。 It may not be sexy but the best thing the Diamondbacks can do is stay the course. Let the season play out. Then, during the winter, if they can make a good deal for an established starting pitcher, go for it. Boost the rotation and Arizona might very well make the postseason in 2016. 保持現狀也許無法引人側目，卻是小蛇現在最好的選擇。本季就讓我們繼續看下去會如何發展，到了冬天時，如果小蛇能找到一名完成品的先發投手，就好好把握吧；屆時升級輪值對打進2016季後賽也許大有助益。 This year? Well, the Diamondbacks are a lot better than a lot of us thought they would be. That’s good enough. 至於今年呢？嗯，小蛇已經跌破我們大多數專家的眼鏡了，這已經夠好了。 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 其實本來認為小蛇真的就是缺了一個Ace 可是最近輪值的狀況已經趨於穩定讓人覺得只要這些人明年還能進步小蛇很有可能成為投手王國 De La Rosa好像很容易被敲全壘打但投到八局還有98 mph火球的能耐左投Ray經常能投出優質先發球速投到95 mph也沒問題 Corbin回歸後表現跟2013相去不遠樣本數雖然不多但目前WHIP是1.0 Anderson如果能適應冗長的球季時間實力是不可小覷的中繼表現穩定的Hudson如果有機會回到先發並維持一樣水準加上備受期待的新人Bradley與Shipley 先發人才濟濟如果季後能補進一位Ace 小蛇的先發輪值等於錦上添花（還有屠殺小聯盟名列農場第十名的黃暐傑可以期待！）後援部分 Ziegler雖然不中看卻非常中用而且很耐投希望能繼續留著 Chafin Delgado Hernandez Collmenter Hudson也大都值得信賴 Castillo轉隊後的表現根本就強打型捕手 O'Brien如果登上大聯盟會很競爭靈魂人物Goldy雖然很優秀了但每年都還在成長現在只擔心投手不敢跟他對決而已 Owings Lamb Ahmed組成的二三遊防線只要前兩者的打擊火力能複製小聯盟水準阿美繼續展現一流的守備功力拼金手套就很堪用了當年Stephen Drew花167場小聯盟比賽就登上大聯盟今年的狀元Swanson如果能超越Drew 內野會更有看頭（其實蠻喜歡Hill的覺得他很像美國張泰山和陳金鋒沒機會上場所以手感才這麼差）前幾年的小蛇都在簽一堆令人摸不著頭緒的外野手希望不要再浪費錢簽另一個Ross 或者拿好手去換另一個Trumbo 外野的Inciarte Peralta Pollock Tomas應該是很夠用了打擊能力最差的阿鐵OPS+也有95 其他三人都在100以上除了長打還沒長出來的Tomas外其他三人在小蛇都少已有兩季的試煉可以考慮趁便宜簽個像Goldy一樣高瞻遠矚的複數年合約總之小蛇的未來現在看起來是一片光明只要GM不再被拍裸照即可也許明年我們真的可以期望像2011年一樣的高CP值小蛇重返季後賽生活周遭沒人支持小蛇真的挺孤獨屆時再來辦場版聚一起看球吧（要是沒被Towers把農場像耳屎一樣掏空的話蛇迷們應該早就可以做夢了） -- ※ 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.1438451746.A.58B.html ※ 編輯: reasonchen (59.126.98.242), 08/02/2015 01:56:36
