Tribe considering changes in 'pen Indians bullpen ranks second-to-last in ERA in Majors (猜一下最後一名是誰...Ans: SF Giants http://0rz.net/9b1mK) CLEVELAND -- General manager Mark Shapiro said long before the '06 season began that the Indians' bullpen was his greatest concern. That concern was justified. GM Shapiro桑在新球季開打很久之前就說過他最關心的就是我們的牛棚 With a 5.59 ERA, the Indians' relief corps ranks last in the American League and second-to-last in all of baseball. 有著絕高5.59的ERA 我們的牛棚是美聯墊底全聯盟倒數第二 (*謎之聲* 遙望2004) Changes are coming. Injured right-hander Rafael Betancourt will most likely be activated from the 15-day disabled list sometime in the next week, and Shapiro said Thursday that other internal changes are being strongly considered. 在眾望所歸之下,Beta下禮拜的應該可以從傷兵名單歸隊,Shapiro桑星期四提到了要好好來個內部大翻修 (*謎之聲* 翻修Graves吧) "We've spent a lot of time in discussions, not just over the last 24 hours but probably the last three or four days," Shapiro said. "If we feel we can make a move that's going to help this team, we're going to do it. We're considering all moves, from changes in roles to changes in personnel in our bullpen." Shapiro桑說"不只在過去的24小時內,在這三四天中我們花了很多的時間來討論, 如果我們覺得可以做一些改變來幫助這支球隊,我們會做的,這包括很多改變,從改變投手的定位到人事的改變" (*謎之聲* 該期待嗎?Orz) A sweep at the hands of the lowly Royals has forced the issue. The Tribe saw five leads blown over the course of three days -- not just by the 'pen, but also by a starting staff that continues to struggle to last deep into ballgames. 在被Royas橫掃之後,這個問題更迫切的需要被解決.在過去三天有五次領先被浪費掉, 不只是牛棚,先發投手撐的局數也不夠久 (感謝m大的幫忙) Indians starters have gone seven or more innings in just eight of 35 starts this season. They've gone six or more innings 19 times. 我們的先發投手在35次先發中,只有8次投超過7局,19次投超過六局 (到目前為止先發真的是有點抖) "I think too much of the burden publicly has gone on our bullpen, when it is a shared burden on our pitching staff, top to bottom," Shapiro said. "If we don't have a starting rotation that on most nights gets us through six innings and a lot of nights gets us through seven, no matter what we're trying to fix in the bullpen, it's going to be hard to patch it, either way." Shapiro桑說我想了很多關於我們牛棚的負擔,同時這也是我們所有投手群共同的負擔, 如果我們的先發投手群不能在大部分的比賽中投滿六局,甚至在更多的比賽投滿七局, 那麼不論我們怎麼去整頓牛棚,這都會是個用各種方法都很難補的洞 (C.C.回來後總算有個比較像樣的先發投手,其他的投手有一場沒有一場的Orz) No changes to the rotation are imminent, despite a 6.52 ERA for Paul Byrd, a 5.94 for Jake Westbrook and a 5.82 for Jason Johnson. 先發投手的調整還不是很迫切,雖然大鳥叔叔,傑克同學,剛回到地球的Johnson三個防禦率分別是6.52,5.94,5.82 (*謎之聲* 居然快破20了 Q _ Q) "We're going to continue to ride it out," Shapiro said of the starting staff. "Not just ride it out, but help the guys improve." 嚇斃囉說到先發投手群：「我們將持續往安然度過的方向走，不僅如此還要協助他們改善。」 (感謝J大的幫忙) Nor is Shapiro going to cut loose any members of the coaching staff, as he did with hitting coach Eddie Murray when the club was laboring at the plate last June. Shaipro現在不打算像去年六月一樣,當我們正在打擊方面慘不忍睹時,fire掉 Murray 般的解雇任何一位教練. (*謎之聲* 這是好事還是壞事?) It's the relief staff that's on thin ice. 我們的中繼後援投手正在薄冰上 (*謎之聲* 我的心臟也是) With six saves in six chances, Bob Wickman is the only reliever Shapiro made a point of saying he's been pleased with. Wicky老先生是唯一Shapiro滿意的,他在六次的救援機會都成功 (*謎之聲* 大家知道我們的狀況有多慘了吧:p) The rest of the uninjured Opening Day relief staff -- Danny Graves (2-1, 5.79 ERA), Scott Sauerbeck (0-1, 4.32 ERA), Guillermo Mota (0-2, 6.14 ERA) and Fernando Cabrera (0-1, 9.58 ERA) -- has been erratic, though Cabrera has shown much improvement since coming off the DL. Jason Davis (1-1, 4.08 ERA) and Jeremy Guthrie (0-0, 4.63 ERA), who began the year in Triple-A, are still developing. 火牛陣其他的成員的數據還真是恐怖,F-Cab雖然不穩定,不過自從他從DL出來後已經有改善了,Guthrie去年在3A待了一年後還在成長中 (*謎之聲* 扣除Graves和Sauerbeck其他根本就是火球男,Guthrie真的是進步很多, 不過我想說的是,不能只有火球啊,看過的比賽挨轟幾乎都是直球 @@) Options abound down on the farm, though it's anyone's guess how the young arms at Triple-A Buffalo and Double-A Akron would fare in the big leagues. 我們的農場有很多選擇,但是3A和2A跟大聯盟還是兩種不同的世界 Shapiro said the club would consider putting right-hander Fausto Carmona, who made three spot starts for the Indians in place of an injured C.C. Sabathia last month, in the bullpen "in the right situation," though he would not comment on whether this is, indeed, the right situation. Shaipro桑不願說清楚講明白,只說我們會在適當的時機把上個月頂替C.C.的Carmona叫上來充實我們的牛棚 (*謎之聲* Carmona少了一種決勝球種,我覺得他還不是我們的答案) Right-hander Andrew Brown (2-0, 2.18 ERA) has pitched well for Buffalo, though the Indians have been concerned about his walk tally, which stands at 17 in 20 2/3 innings. Veterans Steve Karsay (1-1, 1.69 ERA) and Felix Heredia 　　　　(0-0, 6.75 ERA) are available at Buffalo, with Karsay pitching especially well recently. Brian Slocum 　　　　 (0-0, 1.35 ERA), Rob Bell (3-2, 3.08 ERA) Hyang-Nam Choi (1-1, 3.54 ERA) and Ben Howard (0-0, 4.40 ERA) are some of the other arms available from the Bisons. 以上是Bisons可以提供的投手群 (*謎之聲* 不過這些人都應該不是我們要的Answer) At Akron, there's Rafael Perez (2-4, 4.71 ERA), who pitched well in one big-league outing after Matt Miller went on the DL, and Ed Mujica, who hasn't given up an earned run in 19 innings, among others. 以上兩位是2A可以提供的投手群 (*謎之聲* 有看Perez投得好像有點抖) Shapiro, though, won't name names. 但是Shapiro桑不打算提起任何名字 (*謎之聲* 你還是殿殿的比較好) "To comment on individual guys would create a bad dynamic, both down there and on our team," he said. Shapiro桑說評論任何一個投手不管對農場或是我們的隊伍都會造成不良的影響 A trade isn't likely at this time of year, especially given the relief woes being suffered around baseball. Shapiro said Betancourt's return will probably be the move of biggest impact. Shapiro說雖然牛棚正在災難中,但是現在還不到交易的時刻, Beta回來後可能會帶來很大的衝擊 (*謎之聲* 你還是先想好要怎麼交易吧) For now, it's clear that Shapiro, one year after having a bullpen that ranked among the best in the Majors, had reason to be concerned about this year's relief. 現在對我們的GM來說,是個很好思考牛棚問題的時間,特別是在去年我們的牛棚超殺的 (*謎之聲*　我老是覺得GM和我們想得都不一樣) "I feared the unknown," Shapiro said. "And the unknown's been bad, and it's been exacerbated by the fact that our starting pitching has been inconsistent." GM說:"我害怕未知,未知是不好的,而且還在惡化下去, 特別是在我們的投手群如此的不穩定" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.82.151
