Santana Could Fill a Big Hole for the Yanks
Santana可以補洋基的大洞

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 8 — The general managers meetings are the appetizer of
the baseball off-season, a chance for teams to gauge the market for trades
and free agents. The winter meetings next month will be more intense, and
with Johan Santana of the Minnesota Twins expected to be dangled then, the
Yankees will move aggressively to get him.
洋基將會在下個月的冬季會議時對交易Santana更積極.
As the general managers meetings broke up Thursday, the Twins had not made
Santana available because they were trying to re-sign him. But as a two-time
Cy Young award winner who is only 28 years old, Santana is expected to
command $20 million a season. He is signed for one more year and the Twins
cannot possibly afford him beyond that. The Yankees can, and they may have
the young pitching to entice Minnesota.
這個月的GM會議,雙城還試圖跟Santana重簽合約, 所以還沒辦法討論交易.
Santana預計會要求2000萬一年.
目前雙城只和他有一年合約, 接下來也不可能付的起他的薪水.
洋基可以用年輕的投手去誘惑雙城.
The senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said Wednesday that the Yankees
would not trade Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes or Ian Kennedy for a position
player. That may cost the Yankees a chance at Florida’s Miguel Cabrera, but
it could put them in position to land Santana next month.
Hank不願意用三位年輕投手換一位野手, 這可能讓他們無法得到Miguel Cabrera.
但可能讓他們有機會在下個月得到Santana.
Some executives believe Santana will be traded, and though most would not
comment on another team’s player, the Philadelphia Phillies’ general
manager, Pat Gillick, told USA Today that Santana “will be moved for sure.”
費城人的GM說:Santana一定會被交易.
If Santana becomes available, the Yankees may have competition from the Mets,
who expect to lose Tom Glavine to the Atlanta Braves. Mets General Manager
Omar Minaya said it would be easier to acquire a top starter in a trade than
through free agency. “I think there’s potential out there,” Minaya said.
大都會可能會和洋基搶Santana, 他們預計會失去Tom Glavine.
大都會GM說:從交易獲得頂尖先發投手比從自由球員市場容易.
At this point, the Yankees are counting on their three young starters to play
a vital role in 2008, especially with Andy Pettitte unsure if he will return
for a final season. Chamberlain, Hughes and Kennedy are highly sought by
others but virtually indispensable to the Yankees.
目前來說, 洋基依賴三位年輕先發投手在明年扮演重要角色.
“There’s clearly an argument that can be made that I can’t afford to move
some of our young starters even if I wanted to,” General Manager Brian
Cashman said. “I’m looking to replace some innings right now without Andy,
because we don’t have him.”
"有些人會認為我沒有本錢用這些年輕先發投手去交易." 現金人說.
"我要找人吃一些局數, 現在我沒有Andy了."
The Yankees have pitching depth besides their top three young starters, with
Dellin Betances, Alan Horne, Mark Melancon, Daniel McCutchen, Ross Ohlendorf
and Humberto Sanchez also highly regarded prospects. The Yankees would rather
use those players to acquire third-base help.
洋基寧願用低一等的年輕投手來獲得三壘手奧援.
“We’re thankful we have a lot of good young arms coming — power arms,”
Cashman said. “That certainly bodes well for our future but also gives me
opportunities to line up trade discussions. We have a lot more choices now.”
Hughes made 13 starts for the Yankees last season, Kennedy made 3 and
Chamberlain worked solely in relief. The Yankees cannot count on them to work
200 innings each, so they have a great need to restock their bullpen, in
which the erratic Kyle Farnsworth — who could draw interest from the
Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers — is the lone veteran under
contract.
洋基不能冀望三位年輕投手能各貢獻200局, 所以他們必須補充牛棚的戰力.
Farnsworth是目前跟洋基有合約的唯一資深後援投手.(金鶯和老虎對他有興趣)
But the bullpen is a lesser priority than re-signing the free agents Jorge
Posada and Mariano Rivera, who will receive new offers from the Yankees
before other teams can start negotiating with them Tuesday.
與MO和Posada簽約的優先順序高於牛棚的補充.
在他們星期二能和其他球隊談之前, 洋基會給他們新的offer.
Posada and Rivera will be at the former manager Joe Torre’s Safe At Home
Gala at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan on Friday, along with the current Yankees
Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui. Pettitte and Roger Clemens canceled this week,
Pettitte because of his son’s football game and Clemens because he is
filming a commercial.
Mo和Posada星期五都會參加Torre的慈善活動, Jeter和松井也會參加.
Pettitte要看他兒子打足球, Clemens要拍廣告. 他們倆都取消了出席慈善活動.
“They have the highest regard for Joe Torre, and that has not changed,”
their agent, Randy Hendricks, said in an e-mail message.
Cashman cannot be there because of family commitments, but he said the
Yankees had made a donation. Cashman speaks regularly to Torre, including a
conversation Thursday.
現金人因為跟家屬有承諾沒辦法參加, 但他說洋基有捐錢.
現金人跟Torre固定會談話, 上次是在星期四.
“Even though he’s wearing a Dodger uniform, he’s a Yankee,” Cashman said.
“He’ll always be a Yankee. He’s been a big part of this franchise’s
history, and he’s dearly loved behind the walls.”
"即使他穿著道奇的制服, 他依然是一個洋基人."現金人說.
"他永遠會是一個洋基人. 他是洋基歷史重要的一部份."
Barring a surprise turn in negotiations, third baseman Alex Rodriguez is
another former Yankee, although not as dearly beloved as Torre. The Yankees
left the meetings with more information on potential replacements for
Rodriguez, but the team is a long way from unveiling his successor.
洋基還要很久才能宣怖A-Rod的繼位者.
“That’s something that’s going to take some serious time to materialize,”
Cashman said. “When you’re trying to line up a trade, if you do it this
quick, somebody usually overpaid. If you move fast as a pre-emptive strike, it
’s usually costly, and dealing with the Yankees, it’s tougher to get people
to move quick.”
"一項交易須要花很多時間才能完成." 現金人說.
"如果你要快速完成交易, 通常會付給人家太多."
Besides Cabrera, Baltimore’s Miguel Tejada, who would shift to third from
shortstop, and the Chicago White Sox’ Joe Crede are other possible trade
options. Unless the Yankees switch Robinson Canó to third and pursue a
second baseman, their best internal option is Wilson Betemit, who hit .229
with 14 home runs and 50 runs batted in over 240 at-bats last season.
除了Cabrera, 金鶯的Miguel Tejada(可以從游擊轉成三壘)和白襪的Joe Crede也是可能
人選.
除非將Cano移到三壘去, 不然洋基內部的最佳人選是Wilson Betemit.
“He’s the only option right now,” Cashman said. “How realistic that
becomes depends on our conversations throughout the winter. I can’t tell you
right now that I’m going to be doing anything different than what we have
in-house. But I’m hopeful at some point I can bring some clarity to that.”
