離game 1還有三天... 趁休息的時間來看看吧,應該不少版友都看過了... === Cleveland - CF Grady Sizemore 2B Asdrubal Cabrera/Marcus Giles DH Travis Hafner C Victor Martinez 1B Ryan Garko 3B Mark Teahen SS Jhonny Peralta LF Brad Wilkerson/David Dellucci RF Franklin Gutierrez/Brad Wilkerson C.C. Sabathia Fausto Carmona Jake Westbrook Kenshin Kawakami Cliff Lee/Jeremy Sowers Joe Borowski Rafael Betancourt Brian Fuentes Might a first-place finish and the sale of the Jacobs Field naming rights cause the Indians to loosen the purse strings a bit? They should have enough flexibility to go after a quality starting pitcher or corner outfielder, and if they want to do it through a trade, they have Paul Byrd, Cliff Lee, Josh Barfield, Franklin Gutierrez, Andy Marte and more to offer up. As tough as C.C. Sabathia is going to be to retain after next year, a starting pitcher should be the priority. Byrd figures to be more attractive to teams than Lee. I have him and Ben Francisco going to Kansas City for Mark Teahen, who can be put back at third base. He should be cheaper and better than Casey Blake. Barfield is also on the move. He's had a terrible year in the AL, but he still figures to be a long-term regular, and with four years left until free agency, he's quite an asset. The Rockies should be willing to trade one year of Brian Fuentes for him. Fuentes would be a luxury for an Indians team that has had Rafael Perez excel this year. Still, he'd be another fallback for Joe Borowski, whose option will be picked up, and he'd give the team one of the best pens in the AL. Replacing Byrd is Kenshin Kawakami, one of the top two starters likely to make the jump from Japan to MLB this year. A trade for Joe Blanton is another possibility. If the Indians keep Gutierrez, they should be planning on using him regularly. Trot Nixon will go and be replaced by someone to battle David Dellucci and Jason Michaels for playing time. Brad Wilkerson is a fine choice. Asdrubal Cabrera should be locked in as the Indians' second baseman, but some veteran insurance in the form of Marcus Giles or Jose Valentin would be nice. Odds are that the Indians will have just one rotation spot for Cliff Lee and Jeremy Sowers. Lee is deserving of another chance. The Indians should enter 2008 as the heavy favorites in the AL Central. Still, their future might not be as bright as Detroit's unless they're willing to go to a $100 million payroll by 2009. Sabathia, who could top Barry Zito's deal, would be awfully tough to replace. == 看看就好,不過我也覺得今年拿下WS(笑)以後的重點在Rotation... 尤其在不一定能跟Ace談成延長合約的情形下... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.170.44.93
