前文恕刪；僅翻郭泓志的部份。 Merkin Valdez, Hong-Chih Kuo, Edwin Jackson: Three Future Closers? Ryan Fay ................................................. Hong-Chih Kuo, Los Angeles Dodgers Kuo is a survivor. At 28, he's already had a pair of Tommy John surgeries. It hasn't had an ill-effect on his stuff as he's racked up 33 strikeouts in just 24.1 innings this season. 郭是個見過大風大浪的人。28歲，他已開過兩次T.J.手術。這沒有對他的Stuff造成任何影響；看他在本季24.1局就送出了33次三振便知。 Kuo fits the mold of many closers. He brings the heat—mid-90s with ease—and has never been good enough to stick as a starter. 郭有著跟眾多終結者一樣的模子。他丟火球---九十五英里上下輕而易舉。而他也一直沒有好到可以站穩先發。 He's already been in and out of the rotation this season, but has been lethal out of the pen, including a three-and-two-thirds of an inning stint earlier this week, in which Kuo struck out eight of the 13 hitters he faced. 本季他在輪值進進出出，不過從牛棚出發卻有致命的效果；包括在本週稍早時，一次三又三分之二局的出賽。面對的十三名打者，郭三振了八位。 With his stuff and his penchant for striking hitters out (141 in 119 career big league innings), it's easy to see Kuo closing. 有這樣的stuff還有他愛三振打者的癖好（大聯盟局數119，141個三振），郭成為一個終結者是可預見的。 What's not easy is seeing him doing it for the Dodgers, who currently have 38-year-old Takashi Saito cemented in the role. Saito has converted 89.4 percent of his saves in his Dodger career and is in no danger of losing his job. 不過可能看不到他為道奇做這份工。他們已有了三十八歲的齊藤隆；而他的地位已如水泥般穩固。 Saito在道奇的生涯有89.4%的救援成功紀錄，他的頭路一點都不危險。 Since he's 38, Saito is on the tail end of his career, but it's assumed that Jonathan Broxton will take over for Saito when the day comes. Broxton has been one of the National League's best eighth inning relievers over the past couple seasons, though he has blown 11 saves in his career while converting just five. 雖說在三十八歲的年紀，Saito已經踏上了生涯的尾端，不過大家都看好Jonathan Broxton在那天來臨時會接下Saito的擔子。 Broxton在過去兩年已是國聯最好的第八局中繼投手之一，雖說他生涯裡有救援機會時砸鍋了十一次，卻只有五次成功。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 24.108.207.175
