If the Indians go to arbitration with Justin Masterson, it would seem that they
can say goodbye to signing him to a multiyear deal. I know the Indians don't
have as much money to spend as some other teams, but isn't this situation
ridiculous?
-- Harvey R., Cleveland
如果印地安人和Masterson真的進行薪資仲裁,這同時也意味著球隊不會給他複數年約。
我知道笑臉人不像其他隊一樣有錢,但這樣也未免太荒謬了吧?
-- Harvey R., Cleveland
This type of situation is actually becoming more common among teams. The
unpredictability of the current pitching market, which has been complicated by
Draft pick compensation tied to qualifying offers, has made it increasingly
difficult to predict what a pitcher might make as a free agent. That is why
pitchers such as Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana are still unsigned this
winter.
這樣的狀況在各隊中都會越來越常見。因合格報價產生的補償選秀使得當今投手市場
局勢更加撲朔迷離,也越來越難以衡量自由球員投手的價值。
這也就是為什麼一些投手像Ubaldo Jimenez和Ervin Santana至今尚未簽約。
The longer a free agent waits, the more likely it is that the price tag will
drop. Next winter, Masterson could be in a similar situation if Cleveland
extends a one-year qualifying offer prior to his electing free agency. Right
now, that possibility can muddle projections for what a pitcher such as
Masterson might be worth in terms of dollars and years over a multiyear pact.
自由球員待價越久,等來的報價只會越低。下個冬天,如果克里夫蘭在Masterson成為
自由球員前給出一年QO,那Masterson也會面對相同處境。
現在和他談複數年合約只會對這位投手的未來評估造成混亂。
At the moment, the Indians and Masterson's camp are concentrating on a one-year
deal, which may or may not require an arbitration hearing on Feb. 20. You can
bet that the sides are paying attention to a similar situation that is ongoing
between the Reds and pitcher Homer Bailey, whose arbitration hearing is
scheduled for the same day. Whether it's a one-year deal or an extension,
Masterson's next contract might be similar.
笑臉人和Masterson雙方目前正朝一年合約努力,也許不用上2/20的仲裁庭。
雙方也都很關心狀況相近的紅人和Bailey,他們聽證會也剛好在同一天。
不管Bailey最後會拿到一年約還是延長合約,Masterson的合同多半也差不多。
Masterson, who turns 29 in March, has requested a salary of $11.8 million, and
the Indians have offered $8.05 million, following him earning $5,687,500 in
2013. Bailey, who turns 28 in May, is seeking $11.6 million compared to
Cincinnati's offer of $8.7 million, after the righty made $5.35 million in '13.
Both Masterson and Bailey have expressed a willingness to discuss a long-term
deal.
三月就滿29歲的Masterson開價11.8M,而CLE只出8.05M;而Bailey五月滿28歲,
他要11.6M相比於CIN的8.7M,兩人去年薪水分別是5.6875M和5.35M。
同時Masterson和Bailey都和所屬球隊表達了願意討論長期合約。
Over the past three years, Masterson posted a 3.86 ERA, 2.24 strikeout-to-walk
ratio, 1.31 WHIP and 100 ERA+ over 615 1/3 innings. In that same span, Bailey
put up a 3.79 ERA, 3.40 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 1.21 WHIP and 105 ERA+ in 549
innings. Over his six-year career, Masterson has a 4.03 ERA to go along with a
100 ERA+, while Bailey has a 4.25 ERA and 96 ERA+ in parts of seven seasons.
過去三年間,Masterson是3.86 ERA 2.24 K/BB 1.31 WHIP 615.1 IP 100 ERA+
Bailey則是3.79 ERA 3.40 K/BB 549 IP 105 ERA+
綜觀生涯成績,Masterson六年生涯4.03 ERA 100 ERA+,Bailey七年4.25 ERA 96 ERA+
Masterson is likely seeking a deal of at least three or four years, but the
Indians could easily cite his inconsistent performance over the past four
seasons while countering. From 2010-13 (in order), Masterson posted an ERA of
4.70, 3.21, 4.93 and 3.45 and an ERA+ of 84, 122, 79 and 109. That said,
Masterson's leadership on the mound and in the clubhouse makes him a player to
potentially build around.
Masterson可能會尋求至少三到四年的合約,但印地安人很可能會把他過去四年起伏不定
的表現納入考量。從10年開始,Masterson逐年ERA是4.70、3.21、4.93、3.45
ERA+是84、122、79、109。不過Masterson在投手丘及球員休息室中展現的領袖風範
使得他成為相當有潛力的重建基石。
If the Indians sign another starter and someone like Shaun Marcum (non-roster
invitee) impresses in the spring, is there any chance Danny Salazar starts in
Triple-A?
-- @RyanInCLE (via Twitter)
如果印地安人簽下另一個先發,春訓又有人受邀表現很好的話,像是Shaun Marcum,
那Salazar有可能從3A出發嗎?
-- @RyanInCLE (via Twittwer)
No, I don't see a scenario in which Salazar opens in the Minors. It would take
a complete derailment on the mound this spring by the young right-hander, and
that seems farfetched. If I had to choose a weak link, it might be righty Zach
McAllister, who can be optioned without being exposed to waivers. That said,
McAllister is a sure bet to open the year as the fourth starter, as things
currently stand.
不,我看不到Salazar從小聯盟起步的任何可能。這位年輕的右投在春訓會表現得
荒腔走板聽來相當不切實際。如果我必須選個比較弱的一環,那可能會是還有選擇權的
右投McAllister。不過就目前而言,McAllister仍然是開季表定四號先發。
After reading some rumors, is there any chance of the Tribe signing Bronson
Arroyo?
-- @anotherRube (via Twitter)
在一些傳聞過後,笑臉人有機會簽下Arroyo嗎?
-- @anotherRube (via Twitter)
Recent reports had Arroyo seeking a three-year deal, but there is no way the
Indians would go that route with a pitcher who turns 37 later this month.
Arroyo has a history with manager Terry Francona, is not linked to Draft-pick
compensation and has averaged 200-plus innings for the past decade. That said,
I think it'd have to be a one-year deal (or one plus an option) for Cleveland
to get involved. I could be wrong, but I don't see it happening.
最近聽說Arroyo想要三年約,而要印地安人和這位即將37歲的老將簽三年是不可能的事。
Arroyo和Francona相識已久,也不會牽扯到補償選秀,過去十年平均吃超過200局。
我想克里夫蘭提供一年約加一年球隊選擇是可能的。
我可能會弄錯,但我不覺得這會發生。
What happens with the closer in the long-term picture? Vinnie Pestano? Carlos
Carrasco?
-- @marty_kurtz (via Twitter)
我們終結者長期解答會是誰?Pestano?Carrasco?
-- @marty_kurtz (via Twitter)
It's worth noting that John Axford would be eligible for arbitration over the
next two winters, following the one-year contract he signed with the Indians
this offseason. Of course, that also makes Axford a non-tender candidate next
winter, depending on what happens this season. Beyond the Ax Man, youngster
Cody Allen would be the favorite to be a future closer. Pestano needs to earn
his way back into the late innings, and Carrasco is still viewed as a starter
for the time being.
值得注意一點是Axford在明年合約走完後的接下來兩年都有薪資仲裁權。
當然,這使得Axford可能明年就不被續約,但還是要看這季他的表現。
除了Axford,年輕的Cody Allen可能會是未來終結者的頭號人選。
Pestano需要找回以前比賽後半部的那個自己,而Carrasco在一定時間內都還是會設定
成先發投手。
Do you think Josh Tomlin or Carrasco could end up in the bullpen to start the
season?
-- @cgoodies5 (via Twitter)
你覺得這季Josh Tomlin或Carrasco最後會從牛棚出發嗎?
-- @cgoodies5 (via Twitter)
If Carrasco does not win the fifth-starter job and is not injured, I think
you'll see him in the Opening Day bullpen. The right-hander is out of options
and is in the plans for the pitching staff in some capacity. Tomlin could win a
rotation job, and he could also be a long man out of the 'pen, but my guess is
he'd be starting at Triple-A if he does not win an Opening Day role as a
starter.
如果Carrasco沒贏得五號先發也沒受傷的話,我想開幕那天你會看到他待在牛棚。
他已經沒有選擇權了,但他仍然在投手規劃當中。Tomlin有機會贏得先發,然而他已經
很久沒擔任牛棚角色了。所以如果他沒搶到先發的話,他會以3A的先發投手開季。
Who will be the first player to earn a callup from the Minors?
-- @willrettig (via Twitter)
誰會是第一個被叫上來的小聯盟選手?
-- @willrettig (via Twitter)
That's a better question for after the Opening Day roster is revealed, but it's
fair to assume that the bullpen might need an extra hand or two early in the
year. Along those lines, young arms to keep an eye on this season include C.C.
Lee, Preston Guilmet, Austin Adams, Bryan Price and Kyle Crockett. If Nick
Hagadone doesn't make the roster out of camp, he's also a sure bet for a quick
call. Two others could be starter Trevor Bauer and utility infielder Jose
Ramirez.
等到開幕戰名單出來後,這個問題可能會更好,但牛棚早早就需要多餘人手是蠻有機會
的。所以一些年輕的投手像李鎮昌、Guilmet、Adams、Price、Crockett可都得密切
注意球季狀況了。如果Hagadone不在開季名單中,他也很有可能被拉上去。
其他人選還有先發投手Bauer和內野工具人Jose Ramirez。
