http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=teamreports-2008-mlb-nyy&prov=sportsxchan ge&type=team_report Inside Pitch For the first time since they began winning championships under manager Joe Torre, the Yankees are underdogs in the AL East, a notch below the world champion Boston Red Sox—and for good reason. While their offense can be dynamic, their starting pitching is suspect. 自Joe Torre執掌洋基並拿下WS冠軍之後，洋基第一次在美聯東區處於劣勢的狀態。雖然洋基的打線超強，但是投手群很不穩定。 Perhaps in later years their strategy of keeping their younger players will have paid off, but the 2008 Yankees might suffer from not having added Johan Santana via trade from Minnesota. Now, there’s pressure on Phil Hughes, 21, and Ian Kennedy, 22, to produce immediate results in the starting rotation. 雖然也有可能過幾年後農場的農作物可以收成，但是沒有交易Santana來蠻可惜的。所以現在壓力都放在Phil Hughes跟Ian Kenndy上面，希望他們能繳出好成績。 Chien-Ming Wang is not a strikeout artist, but he’s being asked to be the ace on a staff where Andy Pettitte must produce 15 wins and 200 innings for the club to contend. New manager Joe Girardi’s biggest challenge will be to maximize the effort from this staff, since the Yankees are lacking in starting pitching depth. 王建民不是個三振型的投手，但是他被賦予重任擔任洋基的ace。現在新的總教練Joe Giradi面臨的最大課題是如何充分利用投手，因為現在洋基很缺乏投手深度。 Their best pitcher, Joba Chamberlain, is starting the year in the bullpen, but he’s expected to be added to the rotation by summer—an idea that is not completely set in stone. Though he could impact more games as a reliever, his presence might be needed sooner than later to plug a leaky rotation. But he also has a ceiling of roughly 150 innings this year. 洋基最強的投手，Joba Chamberlain，將會從牛棚出發，並有可能在暑假回到輪值當中，這個選法還沒完全定案。雖然救援對他來說可能比較殺，但是在這個殘破的先發輪值，他應該很快就會轉先發，然而他今年最多大約只能投到150局。 The liveliest arms are in the bullpen, an area of strength that boasts the still towering presence of Mariano Rivera. The Alex Rodriguez-led offense could challenge the 1,000-run plateau, and second baseman Robinson Cano— already a .300 hitter—has his sights on 30 homers and 100 RBI. 在A-Rod的帶領下，洋基有可能會攻下1000分，另外Cano已經是個0.300的打者，並且還有30HR 100RBI的潛力。(按:他不打前段棒次就太可惜了) If the club gets off to a slow start this time, it’ll be a far tougher task to get back in the race. Much of the lineup’s balance hinges on first baseman Jason Giambi. If he can stay on the field, the designated hitter spot will belong to Hideki Matsui, and Girardi will have the ability to rotate his other veterans at DH. 如果今年再起步慢的話，將來恐怕會很難追上來。現在的問題就是在Giambi身上，如果他能夠防守一壘的話，將會對打線有很大的幫助。如果他可以的話， Matsui就可以打DH，並且可以讓其他老人打DH也可以。 If not, then the Yanks will rely on retreads (Morgan Ensberg) and rookies (Shelley Duncan) to anchor a key position. Left fielder Johnny Damon has a new position, and Melky Cabrera will begin his first season as the regular center fielder. But with all the talent in the AL, the Yankees appear to be at least a starting pitcher short of making their 14th straight postseason. 如果不行的話，那洋基就要倚賴回鍋球員(Morgan Ensberg)及新秀(Shelley Duncan!!) 來穩定重要的位置。Johnny Damon會被移到左外野，Melky Cabrera會當先發中外野手。但是在這個實力堅強的美聯裡，洋基似乎少了一個先發投手來達成連14年進季後賽。 Primed For A Big Season: 3B Alex Rodriguez would be hard-pressed to top last year’s historic season, in which he hit .314 with 54 home runs, 156 RBI and 143 runs scored. But it’s hard to bet against him approaching those numbers again in this lineup, especially since he now has the added comfort of a 10-year deal in New York. 這季最重要的: 三壘手A-Rod去年打下了神樣的.314，54HR 156RBI 143R。但是要複製去的成績恐怕有點困難，尤其是去年簽下了10年約。 On The Decline: RHP Mike Mussina hit a terrible stretch last August when he allowed 19 earned runs in 9 2/3 innings over three starts and temporarily lost his place in the rotation to RHP Ian Kennedy. If he falters by midsummer, RHP Joba Chamberlain could take the 39-year-old’s place. 走下坡: 右投手Mike Mussina去年投了一個很糟糕的八月，在3次先發9.2局中失了19ER!! 使的他短暫地喪失了先發位置，讓Ian Kennedy來接替。如果在今年暑假重演的話，這個位置就要讓Joba Chamberlain來取代。 (按:烏鴉嘴...) Notes, Quotes ‧ 1B Jason Giambi, attempting to prove his defense is sound enough for him to remain on the field, is winning over manager Joe Girardi. “He’s been great,” Girardi said. Giambi was 2-for-2 with a home run Monday, lifting his spring average to .406. 一壘手 Jason Giambi嘗試守備來讓他保有一壘手的位置。 Giradi說"他很不錯，星期一打了個HR 2-2，春訓打擊率來到.406 (按:跟守備有關係嗎?) ‧ OF Johnny Damon was scratched from the lineup Monday due to the flu. He is day-to-day. 外野手 Johnny Damon因為流感而沒在星期一的打線上 ‧ LHP Andy Pettitte, who was scratched from his March 22 start because of back spasms, threw for five minutes Monday on flat ground. He reported still feeling tightness in his back. Pettitte is hoping to make one final exhibition start on March 28, against the Marlins. If he’s delayed, then Pettitte would not be able to make his expected season-opening start on April 2. Pettitte believes that if he can stretch out to 80 pitches in his final tune-up, he’ll be able to start the season on time. 左投手 Andy Pettitte 22/03個比賽因為背痙攣而沒有先發。星期一他在平地上投了五分鐘的球，但他的背還是有點緊。他希望在28/03投最後一場比賽對上馬林魚。如果被迫延期，Pettitte就無法趕上02/04的開幕。他相信只要在春訓最後一場比賽投80球，那就應該沒問題了。 ‧ LHP Sean Henn, who has a 3.00 ERA in three appearances this spring, tested his sore shoulder in a side session Monday. He could return to action as soon as Wednesday. 左投手 Sean Henn在春訓三次登版中，繳出3.00 ERA，星期一試了試他的痠痛的肩膀，最快星期三能回來。 ‧ RHP Chris Britton was optioned to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. He allowed two runs (one earned) in five innings this spring. Britton had a 3.55 ERA in 11 relief appearances for New York last year. 右投手 Chris Britton星期一被下放到3A。春訓他投了5局 2R 1ER。去年登版亮相11次，有著3.55 ERA。 ‧ OF Brett Gardner went into the final week of spring training with a legitimate shot of making the club. Even if he failed to break camp with the team, manager Joe Girardi anticipated that the speedy and solid defensive outfielder would impact the big-league roster this season. Gardner was batting .393 with six stolen bases in his first 28 at-bats this spring. 外野手 Brett Gardner 即使他不能在開季的25人名單上面，Giradi預測這個快腿及防守很好的外野手，將會對今年的Roster有所影響。他春訓前28AB中繳出了.393 6SB!! ‧ INF Morgan Ensberg increased his chances of making the club when he was added to the 40-man roster. The club has a need for an accomplished right-handed power hitter off the bench who could occasionally spell 1B Jason Giambi. Ensberg, a natural third baseman, can also fill in at second base. 內野手 Morgan Ensberg 自從他被加入40人名單後，邁向25人名單又更進一步了。球隊需要一個有Power的板凳老手，並且能幫忙Giambi守一壘。 Ensberg，原本是三壘手，但也可以守二手。 ‧ LHP Billy Traber had positioned himself to make the club as a left-handed specialist or as a reliever who could provide multiple innings, if necessary. Traber did not allow an earned run in his first seven appearances of the spring and struck out seven and walked one in 6 2/3 innings. 左投手 Billy Traber 他希望能當球隊的Loogy，或是如果需要的話也可以當一般的救援。 Traber在前七次登版都沒有失過一分，並且在6.2局中三振7次四壞1次。 ‧ RHP Scott Patterson, despite not having any big-league experience, has placed himself among the finalists for a relief role. Signed out of an independent league in 2006, Patterson, 28, allowed no runs and just one hit over his first six relief appearances this spring, covering six innings. 右投手 Scott Patterson 角逐最後一個救援投手的位置，但是他還沒有大聯盟經歷。 2006年從獨立聯盟簽下的。28歲的他，前6次登版 6IP 只被打1H 0ER By The Numbers: 11—The number of legitimate reliever candidates still battling for three remaining spots in the final week of camp. 數字: 11，代表多少人還在爭最後三位的救援位置 Quote To Note: “The bullpen is probably the hardest decision to make because everyone’s throwing so well.”—Manager Joe Girardi 引述Joe Giradi "牛棚大概是最難做決定的位置吧，因為大家都投得很好" Roster Report Once again, offense shouldn’t be a problem for the All-Star laden Yankees, who should surpass the 900-run mark for a third straight season. But their starting pitching is suspect, and there’s no depth. Even if everyone stays healthy this time, the Yanks still might have to slug their way to a 14th straight October appearance. 再一次，打線應該不是這些明星打線所需要擔心的。有可能連三季打下900分，但是先發投手群不夠穩定也沒深度。即使每個人都健康，洋基還是要倚賴打線來攻下連14次季後賽資格。 Rotation: 先發輪值 1. RHP Chien-Ming Wang 2. LHP Andy Pettitte 3. RHP Phil Hughes 4. RHP Mike Mussina 5. RHP Ian Kennedy The Yankees are dependent upon the rapid maturity of Hughes and Kennedy, who haven’t made 20 starts combined in the big leagues. Wang is coming off his second straight 19-win season, but he needs to perfect his slider and changeup to remain effective; he can’t always rely on his sinker. 洋基依靠這兩位極速竄上來的新秀，Hughes與Kennedy，兩個人合起來還沒在大聯盟投20次先發。連兩年19勝的小王，他需要的是完美的滑球及變速球，他不能一直依賴著他的Sinker。 Pettitte has dealt with back spasms again this spring, and his elbow is always one start away from becoming an issue. But he wasn’t bothered by that problem in 2007. Mussina has had a solid spring, but this could be his final year at age 39. Pettitte背傷又一次發作，他的手軸也快不行了。但是07年沒有影響很大。 The-Some-old-guy-Mussina春訓投的很不錯，但有39歲的他可能是他最後一年投球了。 Bullpen: 牛棚 RHP Mariano Rivera (closer) 終結者 RHP Joba Chamberlain RHP LaTroy Hawkins RHP Kyle Farnsworth LHP Billy Traber RHP Ross Ohlendorf The Yankees insist that Chamberlain, who is limited to about 150 innings this year, will join the rotation at some point this summer. For now, he could impact a lot of games as a top-flight setup man for Rivera—who remains, at age 38, one of the most reliable closers in the game. 洋基堅持Chamberlain他會在夏天加入先發輪值，因為他的投球限制150局。不過，他目前是個超強的Setup Man. 38歲的 Rivera，最值得性賴的終結者之一 Traber might finally give the Yankees something they’ve lacked for so long— a lefty who can get lefties out. If Hawkins isn’t overworked and Farnsworth finds a comfort zone with his old catcher, Joe Girardi, as his manager, this area could be a definitive strength. Traber可能是洋基正需要的人，左投左殺。如果Hawkins沒有被操壞，Farnsworth能夠跟他舊搭檔Giradi處得來，那Traber應該能幫助不小。 Lineup: 打線 1. LF Johnny Damon 2. SS Derek Jeter 3. RF Bobby Abreu 4. 3B Alex Rodriguez 5. 1B Jason Giambi 6. DH Hideki Matsui 7. C Jorge Posada 8. 2B Robinson Cano 9. CF Melky Cabrera Once again, this team is loaded with offense. Consider that Cano—who batted .306 last year with 67 extra-bases hits and 97 RBI—is the No. 8 hitter. Posada is coming off a career offensive season, and A-Rod could once again threaten to collect the Triple Crown. 再一次，這個打線太強了。考慮到Cano去年.306 67次二壘安打以上，97RBI，排第八棒。 Posada，去年繳出生涯新高的火力。 A-Rod ，有可能再一次挑戰三冠王。 However, Damon, Giambi and Matsui have increasingly dealt with physical issues that could potentially limit their time and damage the club’s chances. If Giambi can’t stay on the field, he limits manager Joe Girardi’s ability to use the DH slot as a way to occasionally rotate his veterans. 不過嘛，Damon，Giambi，Matsui有健康的疑慮，並且導致減少上場時間。 Reserves: 板凳 C Jose Molina INF Morgan Ensberg INF/OF Shelley Duncan INF Wilson Betemit Ensberg and Duncan provide right-handed power, but it could be difficult to get them 400 at-bats each—especially if Jason Giambi is able to start 100 games at first base. But that’s a big if. Duncan’s energy can be infectious, and Girardi will attempt to get him time in the outfield and at DH. Molina is a tremendous defensive asset. Ensberg跟Duncan提供右打的火力，但是打到400AB有點難，尤其是如果Giambi能夠先發一壘100場以上，但是那只是假設。Duncan的活力是具有傳染力的(按:I agree)， Giradi會試著將他排在外野或是DH。 Molina是個極重要的防守資產!! Betemit’s ability to play all four infield spots might eliminate the need for another middle infielder. Rookie Brett Gardner, a speed demon and a plus-rated defensive outfielder, should impact the roster at some point, giving the club a pesty pinch-running option. Betemit，內野工具人，省去了額外的二游板凳球員。新秀 Brett Gardner，超級快腿還有著超高守備能力的外野手，未來有機會進Roster，擔任代跑的工作。 Rookie Watch: OF Brett Gardner, 24, has the speed and defensive outfield tools to impact the club for a significant portion of the year, providing a dimension the team currently lacks off the bench. He also hit nearly .400 this spring. RHP Scott Patterson, 28, was an independent league starter two years ago, but he has excelled in relief and could become a part of Joe Girardi’s bullpen this year—especially if RHP Joba Chamberlain reverts to a starting role. 新秀: 1. 外野手 Brett Gardner 上面講過兩次了不在贊述 2. 右投手 Scott Patterson 同上 Medical Watch: 傷兵 LHP Andy Pettitte (back spasms) was hoping to be ready to start in the season ’s first week. 左投 Andy Pettitte RHP Andrew Brackman (Tommy John surgery) will rehab all summer but could impact the starting rotation in 2009. 右投 Andrew Brackman (TJ手術)，有可能加入09年的輪值 RHP Carl Pavano (Tommy John surgery) could pitch in the majors by July. 右投 Carl Pavano (TJ手術) 有"可能"七月時回來 RHP Humberto Sanchez (Tommy John surgery) could be pitching in minor league games by late May. 右投 Humberto Sanchez (TJ 手術) 有可能五月底進小聯盟按: 阿宅: 喂~喂~ 你忘了我耶 (招手) 呼~這篇好長 -- 用PCMan如何直接打開長網址? 1. 選取你所要的網址 (注意如果不要選取到最後多餘的\ 避免這樣用shift來框起來) 2. 按右鍵->選取文字當超連結開啟->直接打開這樣可以省去作者的麻煩，還可以避免縮網址的伺服器掛掉而開不起來 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.172.121.97
