Cleveland Indians: Some honorable mentions for the Top 25 in 2017 list by Steven Kubitza 文章來源:https://goo.gl/hCYo5V Steven Kubitza最近有一系列的文章回顧2017年笑臉人表現優秀的前25位球員的表現，同時也提供一些關於該球員在明年球季的展望，覺得還蠻有趣的，就順手翻譯一下如果有錯請各位不吝告知，謝謝~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We begin our look at the top 25 Cleveland Indians players from the 2017 season with a few payers who just missed out on making the list. It is a new year and the Cleveland Indians will officially start the 2018 season in 43 days when pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear. And while we sit here and wait for the long month of January to give way to February, it is time for our list of the top 25 Indians from the 2017 season. Before we start with No. 25, let’s take a look at five honorable mentions who didn’t do enough to be ranked among the best. Some fans may argue that any of these five should make the list, but I think that speaks to the depth seen in 2017. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 我列出了2017年笑臉人表現最優秀的25人名單，但還是有少部分球員無法進入這個名單中。新年到來，也意味著再過43天就可以看到笑臉人的投捕正式進入Goodyear球場，開始準備 2018年的球季了。當我們坐在電腦前等待漫長的一月過去時，不如就來列出2017年笑臉人最優秀的25人名單，在我們介紹第25名之前，先來看看這五位表現不夠優異以至於無法進入最佳25人名單的球員。有些球迷一定會認為這五位球員中有人的表現絕對夠資格進入名單，但我想這些球迷會這麼認為純粹只是因為這些球員在2017年都在出賽名單中而已，表現未必真的傑出。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yandy Diaz Diaz opened the 2017 season as the starting third baseman, playing from Opening Day to May 10 before being sent down and not returning until August 22, just in time for The Streak. He is an interesting player because one look at him and one would think he mashes doubles and home runs, but Diaz finished the year with eight doubles and no home runs in 156 at-bats. His launch angle is a popular topic of discussion among fans, and a swing change could pay dividends in 2018. Some experience in general should also help Diaz if he plans to compete for a starting spot in 2018, although I’m not sure where he fits in if Jason Kipnis starts at second base and Jose Ramirez slots in at third. Diaz在2017年球季從開幕戰到5月10日被送回小聯盟前，都是以三壘手的身分出賽，而他在8月22號後又再度被拉上大聯盟，正好趕上笑臉人連勝的時刻。他是位相當有趣的球員，每個看到他的人都認為他能夠敲出一大堆二壘安打與全壘打，但直到Diaz完成整個2017年球季後，他在156個打數中，只擊出了8隻二壘安打，而且一發全壘打都沒有。許多球迷都熱烈地討論他的擊球角度，或許改變他的揮棒方式能讓他在2018 年獲得一些收穫。擁有一些大聯盟經驗後，應該對他競爭2018年的先發位置有些幫助，但如果Kip與Ramirez 在明年還是分別從二壘與三壘出發的話，我不確定他能夠競爭哪個位置。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Joe Smith Smith misses out on the list due to limited action with the team in 2017. The former Indian returned to the team in August after the trade deadline, making 21 appearances in the regular season and four in the postseason. He allowed seven earned runs in 18.1 innings of regular season work with the Indians and had some clutch outings during the magical month of September. He didn’t do anything specific to miss the list other than not playing enough with the team. Smith之所以無法進入名單的原因在於他在2017年的出賽數並不多。這位前笑臉人在交易大限過後的八月再度回鍋，在例行賽共上場21次，季後賽出賽四場。 Smith在18.1局的投球中掉了七分的自責分，也在笑臉人神奇的九月連勝中扮演相當關鍵的角色，除了出賽數不夠多外，他的表現毫無疑問可以進入最優秀的25人名單中。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boone Logan Logan was a disappointment in 2017, but that was because of an injury that sidelined him for the season after making just 38 appearances. The lefty specialist came in with a bit of hype, but his absence for much of the second half diminishes what perhaps could have been. The Indians declined his 2018 option, so Logan’s tenure in Cleveland is rather forgettable. One positive from his short season was that Tyler Olson was able to have a breakout year in what was supposed to be Logan’s role. 2017年的Logan絕對是令人失望的，但這都得歸咎於他的傷勢，這導致他在季初出賽38場後，就只能在場下看著其他隊友。這位左打限定的投手來到笑臉人時，大夥都都期待著他的表現，然而當他因傷幾乎缺席了整個下半季後，他的聲勢就逐漸下降。由於季末笑臉人拒絕執行他2018年的合約，因此Logan在笑臉人時期的表現就很容易被人淡忘。 Logan短暫的球季對笑臉人來說最正面的效益就是Tyler Olson破繭而出的表現，Logan的傷勢讓他有了出賽機會，並替代了原本該是Logan的位置。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abraham Almonte Almonte appeared in only 69 games in 2017, slashing .233/.314/.366. He didn’ t do anything special but did provide some depth in the outfield when the injuries came rolling in throughout the year. He himself was injured for part of the season, limiting his potential impact for the team. Almonte is back in 2018 on a small deal that is team-friendly in nature. It makes his return a potential low-risk, high-reward move for a team looking for that next breakout player. I’m not sure Almonte has that in him or will be given the opportunity, but injuries always happen and he may get his shot. Then again, if he heats up at the plate then Terry Francona will have no choice but to play him. Almonte在2017年球季只出賽69場，繳出.233/.314/.366的成績，雖然沒有太突出的表現，但當球隊人人輪流進入DL觀光時，他適時提供外野的板凳深度。但他自己也不可避免地因傷缺席了一些賽事，導致他對於球隊的貢獻有限。他在2018的薪資並不算高，對球隊來說是件好事，只要能健康地站在場上對球隊而言，就會是個高報酬低風險的投資，我們期待他在明年能有突破性的成長。我不確定Almonte是否真具有那樣的潛力，也不確定他是否有機會獲得足夠的出賽機會讓他成長。但無論如何，對一支球隊來說，球員受傷在所難免，或許Almonte能藉此獲得穩定出賽的機會，只要他能把握這些機會並繳出好成績，我想嚼嚼也沒有理由不讓他繼續出賽。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danny Salazar It is frustrating to me that I am not including Salazar among the top 25 players in 2017, but he simply did not do enough to take a spot from another player. Salazar made 19 starts in 2017, finishing with 23 total appearances. He had 145 strikeouts in only 103 innings of work, but he simply didn’t make enough of an impact to consider it a memorable season. He is a frustrating player to watch because he has so much potential, but arm injuries seem to come up every year. He was out from June 3 to July 22, and was then dominant upon his return. Then came a start on August 20 when he left with another injury.Salazar has the talent to be great, and Indians fans are hoping he can return to his All-Star ways in 2018. 無法將Salazar放入名單中對我來說相當可惜，但他的表現就是不如其他選手。 Salazar在2017年球季共出賽23場，獲得19次先發機會，在僅僅103局的投球就交出145次三振，但他的表現真的還不夠，仍無法讓人對他留下深刻印象。他是位極具潛力的選手，但他似乎無法擺脫他的手傷，這令人相當沮喪。他在6月三3號到 7月22號就因傷缺席一陣子，不過當他回到球場後，他仍然能主宰整個比賽，直到8月20號又因為另外一個傷勢而離開球場為止。Salazar的確成為一個優秀投手的天分，笑臉人的球迷也希望他能在2018球季再度繳出明星選手般的成績。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.115.36.223 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Indians/M.1515654489.A.812.html
