The Nationals aim to add an outfield bat and a starting pitcher this offseason, which might be enough to vault them into contention in 2012. Guaranteed Contracts Jayson Werth, RF: $114MM through 2017, full no-trade clause Ryan Zimmerman, 3B: $26MM through 2013 Adam LaRoche, 1B: $9MM through 2012 Stephen Strasburg, SP: $3MM through 2012 Yunesky Maya, SP: $4MM through 2013 Bryce Harper, OF: $3.15MM through 2015 Sean Burnett, RP: $2.55MM through 2012 Anthony Rendon, Matthew Purke also on Major League deals (保證年薪合約) Arbitration Eligible Players (estimated salaries) Tyler Clippard, RP: $1.7MM Jordan Zimmermann, SP: $1.8MM John Lannan, SP: $4.8MM Michael Morse, 1B: $3.7MM Doug Slaten, RP: $900K (non-tender candidate) Tom Gorzelanny, SP/RP: $2.8MM (non-tender candidate) Jesus Flores, C: $800K (non-tender candidate) Free Agents Ivan Rodriguez (unranked C), Jonny Gomes (unranked LF), Rick Ankiel (unranked CF), Todd Coffey (unranked RP), Livan Hernandez (unranked SP), Chien-Ming Wang (unranked SP), Alex Cora (unranked IF), Laynce Nix (unranked LF) 自由球員：捕手：I-Rod 內野手：Alex Cora 外野手：Gomes(LF)，Ankiel(CF)，Lance Nix(LF)，投手：王建民，Livo，Coffey (似乎連一個Type B都沒有...= =) It's about time the Nationals become a bona fide contender. The heart of the batting order can be elite with Zimmerman, Morse, and Werth. The rotation has front-end arms in Strasburg and Zimmermann, even if neither is a horse yet. The back end of the bullpen is in place too, with Drew Storen, Clippard, and Henry Rodriguez. This is the foundation of a playoff team, but GM Mike Rizzo must make several more significant acquisitions to make the Nationals a contender in 2012. Rizzo recently told Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, "I think we're an outfield bat away and a starting pitcher away from really being a contender in the division." 國民隊真的成為了一個具備競爭力的球隊，目前球隊的中心棒次有Zimmerman，Morse跟Werth；先發輪值有Strasburg跟Zimmermann、牛棚有Storen跟Clippard跟H.Rodroguez 這些戰將正是一隻季後賽球隊的基石。但國民總經理Rizzo還要做出更多的補強，來讓這支球隊在2012球季能夠具備更強的競爭力。 If Strasburg and Zimmermann combine for, say, 350 regular season innings in 2012, it'd be ideal to make up that deficiency with an innings-eating ace. Obviously, those are in high demand. Free agents C.C. Sabathia and C.J. Wilson fit the bill, while James Shields would be a high-end trade target. In the next tier, potentially available starters such as Edwin Jackson, Jason Vargas, Mark Buehrle, Jeremy Guthrie, and Brett Myers could gobble up 200 innings at a respectable ERA. I don't like the idea of trading Lannan; the Nationals need the innings he could provide as a reasonably-priced fourth starter. Catcher Jesus Flores represents more expendable trade bait, though his value is at a low point. 如果明年Strasburg跟Zimmermann加起來的投球局數限制是350局，那麼補強一位能吃局數的頂級先發會是個不錯的做法︰今年季末成為自由球員的先發，諸如C.C. Sabathia、C.J. Wilson正符合這個需求，或者追求交易如Shields這樣高戰力的選手… 追求次等一點的，潛在的名單包括Edwin Jackson、Jason Vagas、Mark Buehrle Jermy Guthrie以及Brett Myers可以吃下兩百局左右並給你一個不錯的防禦率 (本篇文章作者)並不贊成把John Lannan交易出去這個想法，他可以以一個經濟實惠的四號先發身分替國民投球捕手Folres反而可以成為交易的籌碼，雖然他正處於一個交易的低點。 Assuming they believe in the second-half performance of shortstop Ian Desmond, the Nationals are in good shape in the middle infield and at catcher. Center field continues to represent the biggest up-the-middle question for the club. Rizzo could renew talks for Twins center fielder Denard Span, who is potentially signed through 2015. Otherwise, Rizzo could go for a stopgap solution like B.J. Upton or Coco Crisp and keep Matt Kemp and Jacoby Ellsbury in the back of his mind as future free agent possibilities. Using Werth in center is another option, at least in the short-term. 假設今年下半季成績不俗的游擊手Ian Desmond是國民所深信的那個Desmond，那麼他們在內野中線防守(Desmond,Espinosa)跟捕手(Ramos)是具備有不錯的陣型而中外野依舊是國民目前的大問題，總經理Rizzo可能重啟跟雙城Span的交易溝通；又或者， Rizzo可能會先尋求一個權宜之計，諸如B.J. Upton或是Coco Crisp，然後把野心放在之後成為自由球員的Matt Kemp以及Ellsbury身上... 而將Werth轉往中外野也是一個選項，至少短期內可以這麼做。 Agent Scott Boras will surely try to sell the Nationals on the idea of signing Prince Fielder for first base and using Morse in left field. Fielder doesn't gel with the team's primary short-term or long-term needs. They have a $9MM commitment with first baseman LaRoche next year and impending extension talks for Zimmerman. Committing $100MM to C.J. Wilson would be one thing, but Fielder could require twice as much. Scott Boras可以預見將會把他手下的客戶Prince Fielder推銷給國民，但是這並不是國民長期或短期內的第一要務，別忘了國民還有個一年約的LaRoche；而且跟Zimmerman談續約的日子也近了，花個總值一億的合約去簽C.J. Wilson是一回事，但是Fielder可能要兩倍... One more item on the Nationals' to-do list is to name their manager for 2012. Davey Johnson is widely expected to keep the job, but the team has until the end of the month to decide. 還有一件事就是快點決定國民新教練的人選， Davey Johnson被大家認為應該會續掌兵符，但還是有待球隊最後決定。 Are the Nationals looking to go all-in for 2012, or just make marginal improvements and let Bryce Harper and other talented young players close the gap whenever they're ready? A healthy bump to a $100MM payroll would give the team $40MM+ in 2012 flexibility, enough for two starting pitchers and an outfielder, which could result in the Nationals' first playoff appearance. 而國民到底打算在2012就開始投入全力應戰，還是尋求漸進的進步而且等農場的大物新秀如Harper準備妥當後登上大聯盟？目前薪資總額給了國民足夠的銀彈可以運用，足夠把兩個先發投手簽下來再打包一個外野手，這也直接關連到國民在第一次季後賽出場的表現會是如何...？以上翻譯...有錯請不吝給予指證(- -;) 補網址：http://tinyurl.com/3zqeepj -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.115.15.193
