Santana's unhappiness doesn't bode well 山塔那不高興了──這不是個好兆頭 By Joe Christensen, Star Tribune 來源 http://www.startribune.com/179/story/1336318.html Last update: August 01, 2007 – 5:01 PM Minnesota Twins' Johan Santana doesn't think the team is doing what it needs to win. "You always talk about future, future. ... But if you only worry about the future, then I guess a lot of us won't be part of it," Santana said. 山塔那覺得他的隊伍（指高層）沒有朝贏得冠軍的方向努力。他說：「他們總是說著『未來』、『未來』，但假如你只關心未來，那我猜我們大部分都不會是其中的一份子。」 Terry Ryan said he didn't read the critical and skeptical comments Twins players made Monday after he traded Luis Castillo to the Mets. Terry Ryan說他沒有聽到這些強烈的言論。（在他星期一將Castillo交易給Mets後。） "I've got to keep blinders on," Ryan said. "I've got a job to do. I've got to keep focused on the job the general manager of a baseball team is supposed to do. I can't let reaction out of a clubhouse affect the overall landscape of an organization." Ryan說：「我只能充耳不聞。我有我的任務。我得專注在一個球隊經理應該有的方向上。我不能讓球隊的反應影響自己對組織的全盤規劃。」 Yes, Ryan is responsible for the organization's future. So this time, he might want to listen. 沒錯， Ryan擔負著球團的未來。所以這一次，他最好聽一聽。 These were Johan Santana's words Tuesday after the non-waiver trade deadline passed without another trade: "I'm not surprised. That's exactly how they are. That's why we're never going to go beyond where we've gone." 以下是星期二球員交易截止日後，山塔那發表的意見：「我一點都不驚訝。那就是他們一貫的風格。也是為什麼我們一直沒辦法突破之前的成績。」 The Twins acquired two minor league prospects for Castillo, saved $2 million in payroll and did nothing to bolster this year's chances. 雙城隊拿Castillo換了兩個小聯盟選手，省下兩百萬薪水，對本季的戰力卻無所助益。 "It's not just about hope," Santana said. "In a realistic world, you have to really make it happen and go for it. 山塔納說：「只是『希望』並不夠，在現實世界裡，你要真的讓它發生，你要追逐它。」 "You always talk about future, future. ... But if you only worry about the future, then I guess a lot of us won't be part of it," Santana said. 他說：「他們總是說著『未來』、『未來』，但假如你只關心未來，那我猜我們大部分都不會是其中的一份子。」 The two-time Cy Young Award winner wasn't smiling. 這位兩度賽揚獎得主可不是笑著說的。 "Why waste time when you're talking about something that's always going to be like that? It's never going to be beyond this point. It doesn't make any sense for me to be here, you know?" 「如果現狀總是這樣，還有什麼好談的？永遠不前進，我繼續留在這裡一點意義都沒有，你懂吧？」 Torii Hunter will be a free agent at season's end. Santana and Joe Nathan will be free agents after 2008. Asked what message Ryan's latest decisions had sent to that trio, Santana continued firing. 本季結束後，Torii Hunter就成為自由球員。2008之後，山塔那和Joe Nathan也恢復自由之身。被問到Ryan最近這個交易給了雙城三人組什麼感想，山塔那繼續砲轟。 "I've been here for eight years, and I've seen a lot of those kind of things," he said. "I've seen a lot of those guys [like Castillo] come in and leave. [The decision makers] don't care. They always talk about caring about it; I don't think they care. 他說：「我已經在這裡待了八年，看過無數這類的事情。我看到一堆像Castillo 這樣的選手，來了又走。而這些決策者一點都不在意，他們嘴巴上說關心，但我半點都感覺不到。」 "Because if you're always talking about having young players — that's the philosophy the team has, and I respect all that — but it's been proven that it's not enough to go all the way to the World Series." 「他們總是說著要年輕球員，那是這個隊的哲學，我尊重它，但是事實證明要進入世界大賽，這樣根本不夠。」 The Twins had chances to add another hitter. Houston acquired Ty Wigginton. San Diego acquired Morgan Ensberg. Atlanta acquired Mark Teixeira. 雙城本來有機會增加一名火力。太空人拿到Ty Wigginton，教士隊拿到 Morgan Ensberg，勇士隊拿到Mark Teixeira。 Once again, Ryan decided it wasn't worth the risk, even with his team starting Tuesday six games back in the wild-card race. 但再一次，Ryan認為不值得冒這個險，即使雙城在外卡排名落後六場。 "We've got some problems," Ryan said. "Detroit and Cleveland are awful good, and then if you look at the other things that are going on in our league, we've got an awful lot of work to do." Ryan說：「我們有一些問題，老虎和印地安人都很強，再看美聯裡其他隊的表現，總之有太多工作要做。」 In other words, one more hitter might not have been enough to put this team over the hump and justify the cost to the organization's future. 換句話說，再加一名火力可能也無法度過這個危機，於是正當化了Ryan的決定。 But for Hunter, Santana and Nathan, the future is now. 但對Hunter, 山塔那和 Nathan而言，『未來』就是現在。 "We've been close," Santana said. "And in all those times, we seem to be a couple players away from winning it all. So I respect all the decisions they make, but I won't say that they're right all the time. 山塔那說：「我們曾經那麼接近。在那些時刻裡，似乎只要再多幾個火力就可以拿到勝利。所以我尊重他們所有決定，但那種論點未必總是對的。」 "They protect their young players. They protect their organization, their roots, everything. But I guess I won't be a part of it. A lot of guys don't feel like they can be part of it, and they have to move on." 「他們保護自己的年輕選手，他們保護自己的組織，他們的根基，一切一切。但我猜我將不會是其中一份子。很多人也這麼認為，他們覺得自己遲早離開。」 Santana, Hunter and Nathan all said Tuesday that they won't let their trade deadline disappointment distract them from winning. 雙城三人組表示他們不會因為交易造成的沮喪而分心，還是要贏球。 But without Castillo, who had two World Series rings and played through constant pain in a quest to win another, it will be different. 擁有兩枚冠軍戒的Castillo，儘管病痛纏身，仍努力朝第三枚前進，現在少了他，一切變得更困難。 "I never give up," Santana said. "Me, personally, I never give up. It's over when the last game of the season's over. I don't know how these guys upstairs think. I'm expecting everybody else to do their jobs and help us win games because I've been so close to being in the World Series. 山塔那說：「我從來不放棄。我，我自己，從來不放棄。當這一季的最後一場比賽結束後，一切就結束了。我不知道樓上這些人在想什麼。但我希望每個人都好好盡自己的本分，幫助隊伍贏得勝利，因為我曾經離世界大賽那麼近。」 "A lot of these guys, they don't know. They're just happy to be here. Maybe that's how they like it upstairs, but I don't like it." 「這裡頭有很多人，根本不了解。他們原地踏步得很開心，也許那就是為什麼他們喜歡樓上的論調，而我不喜歡。」 It was almost time for Santana's bullpen session. 山塔那的牛棚練投時間快到了。 "Every time I'm out there, I'm trying to win," he said. "And from seeing that we're not even trying from the top to the bottom -- I don't think it's a good sign. I don't think it's good at all." 他最後說：「每一次上場，我都想贏。看到我們這樣虎頭蛇尾，我覺得這是個很壞的預兆，很不好。」 Joe Christensen ‧ jchristensen@startribune.com -- 真情流露呀... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.127.10.97 ※ 編輯: dema 來自: 122.127.10.97 (08/03 21:13) ※ 編輯: dema 來自: 122.127.10.97 (08/03 21:15)
