ARLINGTON -- General manager Jon Daniels spent the week in the Florida resort city of Naples but didn't have much time to sit on the beach or by the swimming pool. He barely even had time to get out of the hotel or even look out a window. "You never know where you are at the moment," Daniels said. "It's like being in a casino with no windows or clocks. You could be in Florida, New Jersey or Texas." GM JD花了一週在Florida度假勝地～～但是卻不是去去坐在海邊或是游泳池旁休閒的～他很少時間出旅館甚至是望向窗外～（實在有點誇張，XD～） His time at the General Managers Meetings was productive in one sense. Daniels came away from the meetings "cautiously optimistic" that the Rangers will be able to re-sign pitcher Vicente Padilla. "We've talked, and I wouldn't say we're close yet," Daniels said on Friday night after returning from Florida. "But we know what they're looking for and they know where we stand, and so far there hasn't been a breakdown. Nobody has run away from the table." JD 對於簽下Vicente Padilla還是抱持的謹慎樂觀的態度～ JD說：『我們知道他們想要什麼，他們也知道我們的立場，這談判並沒有破局，沒人離開這個談判』 Padilla, who was 15-10 with a 4.50 ERA for the Rangers last season, would be a strong first step for Daniels in his goal of acquiring two veteran starting pitchers and a center fielder this winter. The Rangers would also like to add offense in the middle of the order, but starting pitching and center field remain the priorities. There were reports circulating that the Rangers were talking to the Red Sox about outfielder Manny Ramirez, but club sources shot that down as being inaccurate. Pitching still comes first. Padilla 去年有15W-10L的戰績，當然是JD第一個想簽下的球員囉～另外 JD的目標是簽下兩個老經驗先發，還有中外野～～～他還想在中段棒次增加進攻火力～～但是先發和中外野還是補強優先～～有小道消息指出我們對Manny Ramirez有興趣～～～不過好像不大可靠～因為補強投手是第一優先～ Re-signing Gary Matthews Jr. is the Rangers' No. 1 option in center field, and new manager Ron Washington met with him this week in California. Daniels said that the meeting went well, but that still doesn't guarantee his return. "We've made Gary an offer, and I get the sense that he'd like to be here," Daniels said. "I also get the sense that other teams are in a position to make a stronger financial offer. He'll have a decision to make." 重簽Gary Matthews Jr還是中外野的第一優先～新教頭在這星球有和 Gary Matthews Jr面談過～～一切進行還不錯（官方說法），不過沒有保證說一定回來～ JD又說：『我有這種感覺其他隊會用更高心來挖他，他必須做抉擇』（這我看是廢話，因為不用他感覺，其他隊早就動作了，XD～難道是又想省一筆費用，XD） The Rangers have discussed other options, whether it's pursuing free agents Dave Roberts or Juan Pierre or trading for someone such as Brian Anderson or Aaron Rowand. The Devil Rays may trade Rocco Baldelli. What's safe to say is that when it comes to achieving the Rangers' two main goals, Daniels has aggressively pursued a number of avenues. "We've had a lot of conversations," he said. "I probably had an equal number of conversations with agents and clubs. We were a little more focused this year than last year. Probably because I was new, last year we did a lot of kicking the tires. This year we had more targeted conversations." 但還有其他備案，Dave Roberts，Juan Pierre，或是交易Brian Anderson或是 Aaron Rowand（MVP2005好用...XD），跟魔鬼魚換Rocco Baldelli（要用誰呢？） JD說這可以說這可以達到兩個主要的目標，JD也相當積極～～ Beyond Padilla, the Rangers have looked at the free-agent starting pitching market with strong interest in Barry Zito, Jeff Suppan, Ted Lilly, Miguel Batista and others, and they've talked to other clubs. The Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers appear to be the teams willing to trade pitching. But, Daniels said, "It's going to be pricey in terms of dollars and talent. It's obviously going to be a competitive market for everybody." Barry Zito, Jeff Suppan, Ted Lilly, Miguel Batista 這些都是我們的目標～（不過是否簽的到再說～XD）很明顯的是一個很競爭的市場囉～ The Rangers also know that any major trade they make will likely have to include one of their top young pitching prospects, a list that starts with John Danks, Eric Hurley, Edinson Volquez and Thomas Diamond. "That's usually the asking price," Daniels said. "We've developed a great group of young pitchers, and now they're close to Major League-ready. You develop guys primarily to pitch for you, but part of the process is also having depth to make a trade. "I'm not looking to move those guys, but I also realize you have to give up something to get something in return. But it would still have to be a special deal." The Rangers do have some bullpen depth that might lend itself to a trade, and they added another piece on Friday, when they signed right-hander Franklyn German to a Minor League contract. "If we broke camp today, we'd have to tell a couple of guys who deserve to make the team that they weren't coming with us," Daniels said. The Rangers were serious players in the pursuit of Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka but are not expected to go after left-hander Kei Igawa. 這幾段大致上是說也許會拿我們的『農場潛力新秀』去換～～說培養好投手～有時後交易也是其中的一部份～～然後對上次『嚴肅』追逐松阪的失利～～就到只為止～不會在去對阪神左投井川慶動念頭囉～～ -- 2007- Rangers and Spurs GoGoGo 重金徵求 Rangers版的進版畫面（10/25~11/30） -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 67.11.142.50
