Six candidates want fifth-starter job Chico, Hernandez, Stammen among Nationals' possibilities By Bill Ladson / MLB.com 03/18/10 7:24 PM ET (以下這篇文章非常感謝Manstein和kimifort版友在錯誤上的校正以及提供的建議) VIERA, Fla. -- The Nationals already know who four starters will be in their rotation. Left-hander John Lannan is scheduled to be the Opening Day starter against the Phillies on April 5, while Jason Marquis, Garrett Mock and Scott Olsen are expected to get starts soon thereafter. But the Nationals still need to find out who their fifth starter will be. There are at least six candidates. 目前國民的的前四號先發可說是已經確定了。John Lannan 將排定於4/5的開幕戰對上費城人隊，緊接在 Lannan 之後的是Jason Marquis，Garrett Mock以及Scott Olsen。不過還是必須盡快決定誰是我們的第5號先發，而目前至少有6個人在競爭這個位置。 LHP Matt Chico: After missing almost two years because of elbow reconstruction, Chico has proved he is 100 percent healthy, but is that enough? When he is good, Chico can get a ton of ground-ball outs. When he's bad, he walks a lot of batters and opponents have an easy time hitting his fastball. Chico will be the first to say that he can't throw just his fastball to get by. All of his pitches have to be working to be effective. Washington has seen both sides of Chico this spring. He may have to start the season in the Minor Leagues. 1. Matt Chico： Chico 因為手肘的傷勢而幾乎缺席了將近兩個球季的時間。雖然他再三保證目前的他已經百分之百恢復健康，但難道這就足夠了嗎？當他狀況好的時候能夠製造出大量的滾地球出局，但是當他狀況不好的時候就很容易會投出四壞球保送打者，而對手因此可以輕易鎖定他的快速球來作攻擊，如此一來他就慘了。 Chico 首先必須證明他不只是靠他的快速球來解決打者，其他的球種也必須有效發揮才行。國民隊在今年春訓期間發現到Chico的狀況可說是時好時壞，很遺憾他今年球季恐怕得從小聯盟開始出發了。 RHP Livan Hernandez: Most experts consider him the leading candidate to be the fifth starter, but keep in mind that he is coming off a disappointing season. Once he signed with the Nationals in late February, Hernandez had to get into pitching shape and didn't play in an exhibition game until Sunday against Cardinals. He pitched three innings, gave up one earned run and walked three batters. His next start will be Friday in an intrasquad game. 2. Livan Hernandez：大多數的專家都認為目前他在競爭第5號先發的形勢上居於領先的地位，但別忘記他才剛度過一個令人失望的球季。在2月時他和國民隊簽下合約，但由於身材走樣因此他必須先恢復他的身材，上禮拜天對上聖路易紅雀隊是他的第一次春訓出賽。投了3局丟掉1分自責分，還保送了3名打者。他下一場的先發將會在星期五打一場intrasquad game。 intrasquad game：同一支球隊的球員自行組成兩支以上的球隊所進行的內部對抗賽。 RHP J.D. Martin: Like Mock, Martin has pitched to contact and hasn't allowed a walk in two games. Keep in mind that he was hurt by rainouts and had to pitch on the team's Minor League field. Manager Jim Riggleman hasn't ruled out Martin being a long man out of the bullpen. 3. J.D. Martin：跟 Mock 一樣，Martin也是屬於那種投給你打的投手，他在過去2場比賽都沒有投過任何四壞球保送。他在之前原本有預定出賽卻碰上下雨而被迫取消，因此最後只好到小聯盟投球。這也使得他損失了一次和大聯盟等級的球隊交手的機會，無法證明自己的情況。不過總教練 Jim Riggleman並沒有放棄將Matrin放入牛棚作為長中繼人選。 RHP Sharion Martis: His first outing of the spring might have killed his chances of making the team. On March 4, Martis gave up six runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Astros. Since then, he has pitched in two games, allowing no runs in three innings. There have been too many pitchers in camp, and Martis has spent a lot of time on the Minor League field or pitching in simulated games. 4. Sharion Martis：他在春訓的第一次出賽就可能把開季留在球隊的機會給搞砸了。3/4對太空人隊的比賽他在短短1又2/3局就狂失6分，然而從那之後，他出賽過2場比賽，投了3局而且沒有再丟過分數。然而在春訓期間有太多投手在競爭，因此 Martin 大多數的時間都待在小聯盟或者是投幾場模擬賽。 RHP Craig Stammen: Last year, he scored a lot of points with the organization by pitching with bone chips in his right elbow. On Tuesday, Stammen helped himself even further by having his best outing of the spring, giving up two unearned runs in four innings against the Marlins. He must continue to pitch well if he wants to stay on the team. There is a possibility Stammen could be a long man out of the bullpen. Besides the one spot left in the rotation, there are only two spots to determine in the bullpen. 5. Chaig Stammen：去年他在右手肘的地方有許多小碎骨，但仍依舊上場投球，這使得球團對他的好感度增加不少。這個禮拜二他出賽對上馬林魚，投了4局僅僅失掉2分非自責分，這是他在春訓期間表現最好的一次，同時也對他目前的情勢也所幫助。如果他想要在開季能夠留在球隊陣中，那他就必須持續擁有這樣優異的表現。除了開季先發輪值只剩下一個位置之外，牛棚裡也只剩下兩個位置。 RHP Stephen Strasburg: Let's admit it: The No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft has been the Nationals' best pitcher this spring, throwing five shutout innings and striking out four batters. However, it seems unlikely he will be with the team on Opening Day. General manager Mike Rizzo has a solid reputation of not rushing pitchers to the big leagues. Strasburg is scheduled to throw against a Cardinals split-squad on Friday at Space Coast Stadium. Will that be his last outing of the spring with the big club? We'll see. Keep in mind, the Nationals are expected to make their fourth round of cuts either Sunday or Monday. 6. Stephen Strasburg：我們必須先承認一點：這位國民隊在2009年所選進的狀元無疑是春訓表現最佳的投手。不僅完封5局，還送出了4次三振。但就目前情況而言然，而我們應該不太可能看到他在開幕戰的時候出現在球隊中。GM Mike Rizzo向來以保護年輕選手聞名，他決不輕易讓年輕的投手太早上來大聯盟以免被 Rush 到。 Strasburg 被安排在星期五的雙重戰當中對上聖路易紅雀隊，這難道會是他最後一次在春訓期間和國民隊的大聯盟隊友在一起嗎？就讓我們拭目以待，不過請別忘記，國民隊預計會在這個禮拜天或是下禮拜一決定第4輪的下放名單，而到時候Strasburg 說不定就是這名單中的其中一員。 split-squad games：當一支球隊必須在同一天跟另外兩支球隊進行比賽時，會把球隊分成兩隊，然後各自去打其中一場比賽。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.135.43.84
