Nats pick up option on Span, decline LaRoche and Soriano http://ppt.cc/I-am Mark Zuckerman Oct 30, 2014, 4:14 PM EDT The Nationals made their first contract decisions of the offseason Thursday afternoon, picking up the $9 million option they held on center fielder Denard Span for 2015 but declining their options on first baseman Adam LaRoche and reliever Rafael Soriano. 球季結束後的週四下午國民做了首個合約抉擇，撿起中外野手Denard Span明年的9M選擇權，但一壘手Adam LaRoche與Rafael Soriano的部分則拒絕執行。 None of the three moves was a surprise, but each helps shape the club’s roster building as the Hot Stove League officially opens for business following the conclusion of the World Series. 不意外。世界大賽結束而Hot Stove League正式開始，球隊也開始形塑建立自己的roster。 The decision to bring back Span was a no-brainer on the heels of his impressive , all-around season. The 30-year-old hit .302 with a .355 on-base percentage, a career-high 31 stolen bases and set a new club record with 184 hits. He’s also a finalist for the Gold Glove Award in center field, along with the Mets’ Juan Lagares and the Reds’ Billy Hamilton. 在Span繳出令人驚豔的全能球季後，把他帶回來完全不需要考慮。 30歲的Span繳出.302打擊率，.355上壘率，生涯新高31次盜壘成功， 184支安打則是隊史新紀錄；他也進入中外野金手套最終決選，其他候選人還有大都會的Juan Lagares與紅人Billy Hamilton。 At $9 million, Span remains a relative bargain for his third season with the Nationals. Span迎來他在國民的第三個球季，就9M這個價錢依然是相對便宜的。 “We knew when we acquired Denard from the Minnesota Twins two years ago what type of player we were getting,” general manager Mike Rizzo said in a statement released by the team. “And he’s done nothing but bear that out the last two seasons. Denard was arguably our most consistent offensive player in 2014, keying so much of our offensive production, and his defense in center field is Gold Glove-caliber on a nightly basis. We’re excited to keep him in the fold for the 2015 season.” 「兩年前從雙城要來Denard Span時我們就知道他的能耐。」 Mike Rizzo在球隊的公開聲明中表示。「過去兩年他做得比我們想得更好， Denard可以說是2014年陣中攻擊能力最從一而終的球員，對我們的攻擊產能至為關鍵。他每晚在中外野的防守也都是金手套級，他能留在2015年陣中我們都很興奮。」 While Span will return to Washington for his third season, LaRoche’s tenure with the organization effectively comes to an end after four years. The two sides held a mutual, $15 million option for 2015. The Nationals chose not to pick it up, instead paying the veteran first baseman a $2 million buyout and making him a free agent. 與此同時，LaRoche與國民的四年佔有期即將結束。 2015年是15M的雙邊選擇權，國民決定把他放生到自由市場，選擇支付2M買斷金。 As critical as LaRoche was to this club — after an injury-plagued debut in 2011, he posted an .804 OPS over the following thre seasons — the Nationals knew they needed to open up first base for Ryan Zimmerman, whose longstanding shoulder trouble and throwing woes on the other side of the diamond will force a permanent position change next year. 就LaRoche的表現來評斷：2011年痛痛，之後三年上繳.804OPS。國民知道他們得把一壘保留給受肩傷導致傳球問題的Ryan Zimmerman，這個永久性的轉變將從明年開始。 LaRoche assumed this decision was coming all along. LaRoche一直假設會出現這個決定。 “I love playing here. I love these guys,” he said in late September. “But we’ll have to see how that plays out. They may be in a spot where they need to make some moves, and I may be out of a spot.” 「我喜歡在這裡打球，我愛這些傢伙。」九月底他這麼說。「但我們要看看情況如何發展。他們或許得要做些改變，而我也許不在計畫中。」 The decision not to pick up a $14 million option on Soriano also became inevitable once the veteran right-hander collapsed during the second half of the season and lost his closer’s job to Drew Storen. 經過下半季大崩潰還丟掉終結者的位置給Drew Storen後，不撿右投老將Soriano的14M選擇權也成為必然。 Soriano finished his two years in Washington with a 3.15 ERA in 132 appearances , recording 75 saves in 88 opportunities. His 85.2 percent save conversion rate the last two seasons ranked 24th out of 29 regular major-league closers. 兩年結算Soriano總共在132次出賽中繳出3.15ERA， 88次救援機會完成75次，過去兩年85.2%的救援成功率在29位正規終結者中排第24名。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.34.47.100 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Nationals/M.1414735219.A.C1B.html
