Bullpen Options for 2008 牛棚2008大抉擇 By EJ Fagan August 23rd, 2007 Every offseason, it’s the same story. The Yankees look far and wide on the free agent market for the next solution to their bullpen woes, and subsequently, watch them flop. The free agent class after this season is pitifully weak overall, but even worse for bullpen options. The Yankees could, and probably will, try to find some kind of external solution to the bullpen, but they do have a multitude of options in the high minors. The Yankees will likely carry over Mariano Rivera and Kyle Farnsworth next season. The rest of the spots are up in the air. For now, I’ll limit this to our group of righty arms. 一如往常的，每到球季結束後，洋基總要極力的在自由市場上，替脆弱的牛棚尋找解藥，然後，依舊是眼睜睜的看著牛棚崩塌，很不幸的，今年自由市場上沒啥好牛可買甚至水準比自家牛棚裡的選擇還差，以前，洋基總是嘗試著向外尋求解決牛棚的方法，但其實他們自己家就有一托拉庫的牛可以用，下一季洋基應該會繼續保有MO跟放肆火，剩下的部分則是在一個不確定當中. 現在讓我們來看看右投的部分 Right Handed Relief:右投救援 Joba Chamberlain - The Yankees say that their plan is to convert him back to a starter, and I hope that they do, but Joba’s success this season will be hard for them to ignore. Chamberlain has showed us what happens when you take a really good starter (like say, Jon Papelbon) and convert him to the bullpen. The bullpen role is a fundamentally easier role than starting - bad starters often find homes as good relievers. However, Brian Cashman is smart enough to understand that 200 innings of Joba will help the Yankees more than 75 lights-out innings. Of course, that’s what the Red Sox said about Papelbon before this season. Verdict: Probably not. 張伯倫：養成計畫是先當RP，之後再轉回SP (作者迷之聲:我希望洋基說到做到) 他本季的精采表現洋基絕對不會忽略掉的，小克的故事告訴我們：當你把一個很棒的先發投手轉成救援投手，會發生什麼事， (就好像談到寶貝碰一樣) 後援投手基本上比先發輕鬆多了，而一個表現不怎麼樣的先發投手，也是可以成為一個好的後援投手.然而，聰明如現金人，他知道小克可以消化掉200局來解救洋基所爆掉的75局以上的場數，當然，這同樣也就是襪子對寶貝碰的用法. [評語:一切還很難說] Edwar Ramirez - Joba’s buddy in the bullpen has had quite a ride. At the begining of this year, we were all scratching our heads at the gaudy strikeout numbers from a guy who came completely from off the radar. Despite the high ERA, he’s shown that he belongs in the bigs, and he’s there to stay. I expect Ramirez to be a major weapon for the Yankees out of the bullpen next year. Verdict: Absolutely. 小拉米：小克在牛棚裡的好兄弟今年一開始，大家搔著頭，對這個完全不被注意的傢伙所丟出的驚人的三振數量正疑惑著，儘管他的ERA挺高的，但他已證明他也是個不好惹的傢伙，我期待小拉米能成為明年洋基牛棚的主要武器 [評語:一定要的阿] Chris Britton - How he got in Torre’s doghouse, I don’t know. Britton already has a successful rookie season under his belt, and has done nothing but pitch fantastic in the minors and majorsthis year, but he seems to have barely been considered for a spot this year. I can’t see Cashman letting Torre (or Mattingly, or Girardi) make that mistake again next year. Verdict: He’ll be in there, right out of spring training. Chris Britton：我不知道他是怎麼進入托瑞的狗屋的，不過他已經有個成功的菜鳥球季了，沒做什麼其他的屌事，反正就是在小聯盟持續投出華麗的內容，然後接下來就是大聯盟了但是今年幾乎沒有把他考慮進去，我再也不想看到明年現金人讓托瑞犯同樣的錯誤 [評語:春訓後趕緊把他丟進去] Ross Ohlendorf - Ohlendorf used to throw over 95 mph, but the Diamondbacks slowed him down in order to make him a more effective sinkerball starting pitcher. That fell through, and the Yankees decided that the only way he would make the bigs was with that velocity back out of the bullpen. He’s been throwing a much straighter fastball around 97 mph, but still hasn’t had a lot of success. Verdict: Maybe mid-season. 螺絲：習慣丟超過95麥，但是Diamondbacks要他慢一點，為了讓他能成為一個更有效率的伸卡球先發，他向來習慣丟高於97麥的直球，但是卻無法給他帶來更多成功 [評語:或許季中再看看吧] T.J. Beam - Beam, the forgotton reliever, is back to his old self after almost losing the season to injury. It’s easy to forget how effective Beam’ s power/control/slider skillset was over the past two years. He might find his way to the Bronx when rosters expand, and could warrant a few looks in spring training. Still, the number crunch will send him back to AAA to begin the season. Verdict: Next year will be his last option year, so you can expect him to spend the season on the shuttle back and forth from Scranton. T.J. Beam：被遺忘的後援投手，受傷並整個球季報銷之後再度回來，人們總是容易忘記在過去兩年之間，他的力量，控球和滑球整組裝置是多麼的有效，或許擴編時，他可能會有位子上來，在春訓時露露臉，儘管如此，你要知道，位子就是那麼擠，他隨時還是有可能會被送回去3A. [評語:明年是他最後一個option year 所以可預見他被來來回回的送來送去] Steve White - I’ve been saying for awhile now that White would be a very good reliever, but the Yankees are keeping him starting. He’s been good for Scranton thus far, so I can’t see him switching quickly to the bullpen. Whitey has paid his dues, and he’ll be on the short list for a call up next year when the Yankees need a starting pitcher. Verdict: Probably not, but keep your eye on him. 史蒂夫壞：我一直在說他是個後援的料，但是洋基總是一直讓他保持先發，我認為他盡快轉到牛棚的機會不大，因為他在Scranton都一直很優，他已經做好他該做的事，明年洋基如果需要先發投手，他會是最先被叫上來的 [評語:或許也還說不定啦不過最好保持對他的注意力] Brian Bruney - Bruney was sent down when the Yankees discovered what the Diamondbacks knew all along: he pitches as if he was paid by the walk. Due to past success, he’ll get a few looks during spring training, but I think that the Yankees will try to trade him while they can. I advocated trading him prior to last year, but the Yankees may shy away from doing so this year if he can’t bring in a good price. Bruney is out of options next year. Verdict: Unfortunately, probably yes. 布魯尼：洋基終於發現，布魯尼表現的好像他是被聘請來保送打者的，而這件事 Diamondbacks自始至終都知道，不過他過去還是有一些不錯的表現，所以或許春訓他多少還能會露個臉，我認為當洋基找到交易他的時機，就會把他交易掉，我去年就主張交易掉他，但是如果今年他沒辦法賣個好價錢的話，洋基大概也不會這麼作吧，布魯尼明年就用完option了 [評語:很遺憾的可能就差不多這樣了] Jeff Karstens and Darrell Rasner - The long man duo were supposed to pitch a lot of average innings for the Yankees this year, but injuries rocked them both, leading to lost seasons. Karstens has definitely taken a step back, and who knows what will happen will Rasner. I wouldn’t expect to see of them next year. Verdict: Karstens will probably stay on the 40-man roster, but Rasner won’t be anywhere to be seen. Jeff Karstens and Darrell Rasner：耐操好用二人組可能在今年會被拿來頂一堆局數，不過傷勢也同樣困擾著這兩人，可能會讓他們失掉賽季，Karstens一步步的回來，但天曉得會有什麼事發生，Rasner也是一樣，明年他們兩人能否出現，說老實話，我真的不期不待....... [評語:Karstens可能會待在40人名單裡頭而Rasner在哪裡都看不到他] Kevin Whelan - Whelan’s control escaped him for most of the season, and the Yankee pitching brass had to bring him down to Tampa for a mechanical fix. He pitched much better, and earned a promotion back to AA. His first appearance was terrible; Whelan allowed 5 runs and 6 walks. Since then, he’s pitched 15 innings with a 1.2 ERA, striking out 21 and walking just 6 batters. For the first time in his life, Kevin Whelan looks like a pitcher, not a converted catcher. Verdict: He’ll start the season at AA, but don’t be surprised to see him dominating MLB batters by mid-June. Kevin Whelan： Whelan的控球讓他被遺忘了大半球季，洋基投手教練團把他帶回 Tampa調整了一下，然後他就投的更好了點，並且得到返回2A的機會，然而他的首次表現卻很糟糕，送出五分和六次保送但是在那之後，他投了個15局，ERA僅1.2，K掉了21個人，只有送出6次保送他第一次感覺到自己像個投手了..... [評語:他還是會在2A先發不過要是在六月中看到他在大聯盟出賽也不用太驚訝] Alan Horne - Joba Chamberlain will likely be deemed to valuable as a starting pitcher, but I have a feeling that the Yankees will feel good enough about the Joba experiment to try for something more permanent with Horne. He’s got all the tools to be a great relief pitcher, and with Hughes, Kennedy, and Chamberlain ahead of him, this may be the logical move. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Yankees bring up Horne when rosters expand this year. Verdict: Nothing is certain, but it would be a smart move. Alan Horne: 他擁有擔任一個好的救援投手的所有條件，而在他前面的局數有休斯，甘迺迪跟張伯倫罩著，所以這樣的安排是合乎邏輯的，事實上，當今年擴編時，如果洋基把Horne叫上來，我一點也不會感到驚訝 [評語:沒有任何事是可以百分之百確定的，不過這樣的調度將會是個很聰明的選擇] Scott Patterson - We all know the story by now. The Yankees find an independent league gem, place him in AA, and he dominates. In 106 1/3 innings between 2006 and 2007, Patterson has struck out 128 and walked 22, while maintaining an ERA of 1.45. Patterson has been absolutely untouchable, yet the Yankees have declined to promote him. He’ll start 2007 in AAA, and won’ t be able to hold off a callup much longer. Patterson doesn’t throw hard, but that kind of success doesn’t come by accident. Verdict: He’ll have to prove himself all over again, but he’s capable of it. Scott Patterson: 我們都知道這個故事了洋基在獨立聯盟發現他這塊寶先把他放在2A，然後他就在06-07年間的106又1/3局裡，開始屠殺... 三振了128個，僅僅保送了22個，而ERA維持在相當靠北的1.45 毫無疑問他絕對是很難動搖的，不過洋基暫時沒有提升他位置的打算，他07年還是在3A出賽，不過被叫上來之日不遠矣... Patterson的投球之路雖並非格外艱困，但是他的成功絕非偶然 [評語:他可能要再一次證明他夠屌因為他值得] Michael Gardner - He’s the sleeper in the organization’s upper minors. Gardner has long gotten more credit from the Yankees than he gets from fans, but he’s starting to get close to the majors. He’s sat consisently around 92 mph this season with his sinking fastball, up a tick from previous years. His slider has come along, and the numbers show it. In 75 innings, Gardner has maintained a 2.88 ERA, striking out 62 and walking 26, while allowing just one home run. Verdict: He’s a sleeper. Michael Gardner: 他是大聯盟組織體制下的黑馬，他獲得洋基的信任，比他從粉絲那得到的更多他越來越向大聯盟靠近：今年賽季持續投出約92麥的伸卡球，比前些年進步許多，然後再搭配一些不賴的滑球，在75局裡頭，ERA維持在2.88左右，三振掉62人，保送26人，只被擊出過一支全壘打 [評語:這裡有隻黑馬好便宜的...] There’s something for you guys to chew on. The Yankees have options, but it’ s up to them to use them. How many of these guys will flop if they hit the majors? At least half. Even so, the Yankee stockpile of arms should be able to produce a better product than we are seeing now. 看完這些，我們該仔細思考一些問題：洋基其實有很多選擇，端視用不用，有沒有愛而已要看這些孩子遇上了大聯盟的強度，有幾隻撐的住而不倒下，我想至少一半吧即使如此，洋基應該可以把投手養的更好，至少要比我們現在看到的更好.... 有錯請指正:) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.116.16.129
