Cooper November 18, 2009 The Reds have been in rebuilding mode for a decade, even if they didn't always realize it. 紅人在最近這十年來一直都停留在重建模式中，即使他們自己從來沒有意識到。 Cincinnati hasn't finished with a winning record since 2000, though it's hard to pinpoint a time at which the club truly cashed in and planned for tomorrow. A fallow farm system in the first half of the decade made it almost impossible to build from within. Even now that the system has started to produce players, the Reds have continued to teeter in the no-man's land between being competitive and building for the future. 2000年之後紅人的勝率就從來沒有過半，然而很難確切指出這支球隊到底是什麼時候真正開始轉而儲備實力、為將來作打算。在這十年中的前五年，貧瘠的農場讓球隊根本沒有辦法靠內部重建，即使現在農場已經開始出產作物，紅人還是持續地在保持競爭力和重建之間的無人地帶搖擺不定。 It was much the same story in 2009. On July 4, the Reds sat a game above .500 and two games out of first place in the National League Central. For a moment, it appeared the Reds would be a part of a pennant race for the first time since Barry Larkin was their shortstop. 同樣的事在2009年又重演。七月四號的時候，紅人比達成五成勝率的標準還多贏一場比賽，而且落後國聯中區第一名的球隊只有兩場勝場差。一度讓人以為這是自Barry Larkin成為紅人的游擊手後紅人會首次進入季後賽。 But it was just a mirage. Edinson Volquez went down in early July with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. Jay Bruce broke his wrist in the middle of the month, and Chris Dickerson was lost soon afterward with back spasms. The team quickly fell apart, going 8-19 in July to drop to 10 games out of first place. 但這最終都只是幻影。7月初Edinson Volquez開始走下坡然後就因為肘傷去開Tommy John 手術，Jay Bruce在月中也摔斷了手腕，Chris Dickerson則因為背部痙攣離隊。球隊陣容很快就變得殘缺不全，整個7月份只有8勝19敗、和分區第一的勝差擴大到了10場。 Owner Bob Castellini wants to see a winner sooner than later, so instead of being sellers at the trade deadline, Cincinnati decided to buy. The Reds traded their top pitching prospect (Zach Stewart) and their best relief pitching prospect (Josh Roenicke) to upgrade from 26-year-old Edwin Encarnacion to 34-year-old Scott Rolen at third base. The move was intended to bring a veteran bat and leadership, but it required a steep price in prospects to bring in Rolen and get the Blue Jays to pay the remainder of his 2009 salary. 球隊老闆Bob Castellini不久就急著想要看到成果，所以在交易大限前紅人決定在市場上扮演一名買家而不是賣家的角色。為了將三壘的位置由原本26歲的Edwin Encarnacion升級成34歲的Scott Rolen，紅人送走了他們的頂級投手新秀(Zach Stewart)和農場裡最好的後援投手(Josh Roenicke)，這項變動是希望老將能為球隊帶來他的大棒子和領導能力，但這使紅人付出過多新秀的代價卻只換來Rolen以及由藍鳥負擔他2009年剩下的薪水。 Predictably, the trade did nothing to turn around Cincinnati's season. The Reds finished 13 games behind the Cardinals, something they could have done without Rolen. 不出所料，這項交易並沒有扭轉紅人本季的命運。紅人最後落後紅雀有13場勝差，這不需要Rolen他們自己也可以辦到。 But more importantly, the addition of the veteran third baseman strained the team's already tight budget. Cincinnati has $59.25 million committed to seven players (including Rolen's $11 million) for 2010—even though the team was expected to cut up to $5 million from its $71 million payroll. 更重要的是，這位三壘老將的加入讓紅人原本就吃緊的預算更捉襟見軸，2010年紅人僅在 7位球員身上就要花掉$59.25M(其中包括Rolen的$11M），而球隊原本是希望能將薪資由 $71M刪減至$5M。 That means that there is little choice but to look to the farm system to fill several glaring holes. 這意味著球隊除了從農場裡找人來補隊上的洞之外別無選擇。 While they weren't rebuilding, the Reds did try out 17 rookies in 2009 thanks to injuries and necessity. Veterans Ramon Hernandez and Willy Tavares were expensive busts, so Ryan Hanigan and Drew Stubbs had displaced them by season's end. Paul Janish and Adam Rosales got most of the playing time on the left side of the infield, with less success. Despite that, Janish headed into the offseason as the favorite to be the team's 2010 shortstop because of his steady glove. 本來在他們不打算重建的時候，紅人在2009年卻因為傷兵和情勢所需拉上17個新人上來試用。老將Ramon Hernandez和Willy Tavares成了只是昂貴的看板，所以在季末球隊用Ryan Hanigan和Drew Stubbs來取代他們的位置。Paul Janish和Adam Rosales大部分的時間都在守內野左半邊的位置，然而成效不彰，但即便如此，Janish卻因為他穩定的守備在季後被視為是2010年球隊游擊手的優先人選。 The most important development was the apparent breakthrough of Homer Bailey, who ranked No. 1 on this list in 2005-07 but had trouble making the jump to the majors. He went 4-1, 2.08 over his final seven big league starts to secure a spot in the Reds' 2010 rotation. Homer Bailey的爆發則是最重要的轉變。他在2005-07年都是農場裡的頭號新秀但在跳級到大聯盟時卻出現問題。季末在大聯盟的最後7場先發他拿下4勝1敗、防禦率2.08，讓他保住了2010年在紅人輪值圈裡的一個位置。 With Bruce, Stubbs and Joey Votto forming the core of the lineup, and Bailey and Johnny Cueto headlining the pitching staff, Cincinnati has a good nucleus to build around. But with an owner and a fan base itching to move past a decade of losing and a surplus of prospects at already-occupied positions, the Reds seemed poised to dispense their prospects in trades to make a push in 2010 rather than build a long-term foundation from within. 由Bruce、Stubbs和Joey Votto為中心的打線和有Bailey和Johnny Cueto為首的投手群組成了紅人強大的重建核心，但是由於老闆和球迷們都急著想擺脫過去十年來的陰霾還有在某些位置有新秀過剩，紅人似乎比較傾向交易掉新秀來提升在2010年的競爭力而不是在內部打下長遠的基礎。 (這是BA網站上的文章。有錯請大大們指證，感謝。) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.48.11
