http://ppt.cc/GU_a ARLINGTON -- With the World Series behind them, the Rangers have no time to rest. Free agency is here and the Rangers are going to be busy. For the first time in several years, the Rangers will have money to spend. They are not sure how much, but the term "severe financial constraints" no longer applies. So says the new ownership group under CEO Chuck Greenberg. "We don't have a formal budget number yet, but I've got a general idea of what it's going to be -- and it'll definitely be north of where we've been the last couple years," general manager Jon Daniels said. "I can't tell you exactly how much north it will be at this point, but yeah, I would expect we'll have the ability to be more active than we have been the last few years. " 簡短翻譯：條子終於可以去瞎拼啦 Daniels made it clear that the Rangers need to address their own free agents first. The big one is Cliff Lee. The Rangers want to keep him and he has publicly said he wants to stay here. It won't be easy. He is 32 and easily the best free-agent pitcher on the market. The Yankees are among the teams expected to be interested. Cliff Lee是口袋名單中的首選，但是有難度，因為他是今年自由球員中最大咖的先發投手（但我認為難度的問題點在於他３２歲了，而且他一定會要求５年以上的大約，而且重點是北佬已經鎖定他，要跟北佬比銀彈，嗯嗯～～） Vladimir Guerrero is also high on the list. His contract calls for a mutual option, which means either side could decline it and make him a free agent. It's an interesting call for both sides. Guerrero, who turns 36 in February, hit .300 with 29 home runs and 115 RBI for the Rangers this season. That, on the face of it, is enough to want him back. But his OPS dropped from .918 before the All-Star break to .748 afterward. He hit .220 with a .271 slugging percentage in the playoffs. The Rangers want a big bat in the middle of the lineup. They love Guerrero's presence, but they have to decide if he still has another big year in him. 老葛也是口袋名單中之一，但是要注意的是他已經要３６歲了，雖然在季賽中他的表現是物超所值，但是在季後賽的表現說實在是不太理想，尤其是世界大戰 Another crucial area is catcher. Both Matt Treanor and Bengie Molina are free agents. Molina is talking about retiring. Taylor Teagarden will be back, but the Rangers will look for catching help no matter what. 另外一個重點是捕手，摸大哥可能會退休，Teagarden會回來，但是他不會是條子捕手的答案，所以條子勢必得去考慮補手補強這一塊 The last big free agent is Frank Francisco, who has been a significant part of their bullpen for the past four years, pitching in 224 games with a 3.81 ERA, 32 saves, an opponent's batting average of .229 and 249 strikeouts in 225 innings. The Rangers missed him in the playoffs when he was injured -- and will miss him if he doesn't return. 另外一個是Francisco，我個人認為他的缺陣還是有一定的影響，看看條子一直派Lowe是怎樣，如果不是花很多的錢去簽他我認為他還是一位算稱職的set up or closer Contract issues Free agents: Lee, LHP; Francisco, RHP; Molina, C; Matt Treanor, C; Jorge Cantu , IF; Cristian Guzman, IF Eligible for arbitration: C.J. Wilson, LHP; Josh Hamilton, OF; Nelson Cruz, OF ; Jeff Francoeur, OF; David Murphy, OF; Darren O'Day, RHP; Mark Lowe, RHP; Dustin Nippert, RHP; Brandon McCarthy, RHP; Esteban German, IF Mutual options: Vladimir Guerrero, OF, $9 million Non-tender possibilities: Francoeur, McCarthy, Nippert, German; Areas of need Starting pitcher: The Rangers want Lee back. If they don't get him, t he free-agent alternatives drop off quickly to pitchers like Kevin Millwood (4-16, 5.10), Jorge De La Rosa (8-7, 4.22), Freddy Garcia (12-6, 4.64), Jeremy Bonderman (8-10, 5.53), Hiroki Kuroda (11-13, 3.39), David Bush (8-13, 4.54), Carl Pavano (17-11, 3.75), Andy Pettitte (11-3, 3.28), Javier Vazquez (10-10, 5.32), Kevin Correia (10-10, 5.40), Jake Westbrook (10-11, 4.22) Jon Garland (14-12, 4.22). This is why Lee will be widely coveted. 除了黑田之外，其餘的我覺得都...Pettitte不用考慮 Catcher: There are some prominent names on the free-agent market. John Buck stands out after a career year in Toronto. The Rangers were interested a year ago and will be again. Other free-agent catchers of note include Victor Martinez, Ramon Hernandez, A.J. Pierzynski, Gerald Laird, Rod Barajas and Yorvit Torrealba. 難道Laird要回鍋嗎？但我也不認為他是條子的答案就是 Right-handed relief: With Francisco gone, the Rangers' right-handed relievers include O'Day, Alexi Ogando and Lowe. The Rangers will likely look at adding at least one more power arm to the mix. Joaquin Benoit will be back on the market and Kerry Wood could be of interest as a Texas native. Big bat: If Guerrero doesn't come back, the Rangers will have a void in their lineup -- unless Julio Borbon plays every day in center and David Murphy becomes the DH. If they start throwing around the word presence, the Rangers could look at Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez and Aubrey Huff. 如果老葛不回來，Konerko，Dunn，Ramirez，Huff都是不錯的人選 (Konerko不錯=.=) -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.42.192.69
