Mike Mussina confirmed that much on Thursday, winning his seventh career Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Mussina bested every other American League pitcher to nab his first Gold Glove since 2003, his third with the Yankees, and his seventh overall since 1996. Now with more AL Gold Gloves than any pitcher other than Jim Kaat, who won 14 straight from 1962-75 and an additional two in the National League, Mussina has entered rarefied air among the top defensive pitchers in history. 雖然Mussina現在不確定是否會繼續投下去，但是他現在的地位是不可否認的這是他在洋基隊的第三座金手套獎自1996年來的第七座他的地位在美聯僅次於Jim Kaat的連續14座金手套 And the fact that Mussina won this year for the first time in half a decade seems fitting. This season marked something of a renaissance for Mussina, who posted his lowest ERA since 2001 and won 20 games for the first time in his career. 過去五年來沒有拿下金手套的他，現在來的正是時候今年也是自2001年來 ERA最低的一次並且生涯首次單季20勝 "I was hoping that I'd be important to the club this year," Mussina said in August, after proving that importance time and again. "I was hoping I'd have a role like I've had in the past." 八月曾經說 "我本來期待我今年能對球隊有重大的貢獻" 之後又說 "我希望我能夠扮演過去的角色" Mussina easily could have been referring to his role as a defensive asset, which he established in Baltimore last decade and carried with him to the Yankees. Mussina made just one error -- his first in three years -- in 200 1/3 innings this season, despite ranking 11th in the league with 42 total chances. His fielding percentage of .976 was sixth among pitchers with at least 200 innings, and more remarkably, he did it at the age of 39. Mussina以前在金鶯時被公認防守機器今年200.1局內只發生過一次失誤!! 這樣的成績只排在11美聯名 (42次守備機會+) 不過fielding percentage .976是第6高的 (200ip+) 最重要的是他已經39歲了 Mussina's award came one day after Greg Maddux, at age 42, won his record 18th Gold Glove Award in the NL. Among pitchers in both leagues, Mussina's seven Gold Gloves rank fifth in the 52-year-history of the award. 他在Maddux拿到金手套的隔天被公佈 (Maddux在NL拿下18座) 從設立金手套獎到現在 Mussina 被排在第炊郎W The first Gold Gloves were awarded in 1957 to one player at each position from both leagues, then expanded the next year to include a lineup of nine players, one from each league. 1957年首次設立此獎兩個聯盟一個守備位置一個獎隔年增設投手 The winners are selected by AL managers and coaches, who can't vote for their own players. Johan Santana won last year's AL Gold Glove for pitchers, then moved to the NL this season and lost out to Maddux. 此獎是由AL經理級教練但是他們不能投給自己的球員去年AL被Johan Santana拿下不過今年換隊之後贏不過Maddux Joining Mussina on the AL team was catcher Joe Mauer of the Twins, first baseman Carlos Pena of the Rays, second baseman Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox, third baseman Adrian Beltre of the Mariners, shortstop Michael Young of the Rangers and outfielders Torii Hunter of the Angels, Grady Sizemore of the Indians and Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners. Hunter and Suzuki each won their eighth straight awards, joining a Gold Glove team that included four first-time winners. And accolades, most will admit, are nice -- but they can't erase the uncertainty that has surrounded Mussina since last season ended. Mussina filed for free agency on Wednesday, and he has not yet informed the Yankees whether he will pitch next year. 星期三他申請FA 但是他還沒告知洋基是否明年會繼續頭下去 Originally thought to be playing out the final contract of his career, Mussina opened the door for a return after enjoying one of his most successful seasons. He now stands merely 30 wins shy of 300 -- a number that traditionally begs Hall of Fame consideration, and that could entice him to return. 原本計畫這是他生涯的最後一年但是在經過這麼成功的一年可能會動搖他的決定現在只差30勝就達到300勝 - 進入名人堂的門檻之一 "I'm not sure what he is going to do," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said at season's end. "Whatever Mike Mussina does, he has had a wonderful career up until this point, and I believe that he is a Hall of Famer." Girardi說我不確定他會怎麼決定無論如何他有個很好的生涯我相信他會進名人堂的 "I don't know what the future holds," Mussina said after winning his 20th game of the season in his final start. "It could be my last year, it may not be my last year. When you get to your 18th season, it could always be your last season." 在贏得20勝的時候他曾經說 "我不知道未來的情況會是怎如何，這也許是我最後一年，當你已經投了18個球季之後，任何時後都有可能是你的最終年" But if he does return, it's a near certainty that he'll do so with his defensive prowess intact. Mussina has made just 11 errors over his past 11 seasons, and he certainly does not plan on making many more. 如果他回來的話可以確定的是他會帶著他的手套回來的過去11年只發生過11次失誤 "You make adjustments or they find someone else to get the job done -- it's that simple," Mussina said in July. "Fortunately, I've been able to make changes for quite a few years, and that's why I'm still out there." Mussina 在七月時曾說 "你可以隨時做調整或是找其他人來代替你，幸運的是，我可以自己做調整，這也就是為什麼我現在還在這裡投球" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.244.125.33
