MLB Free Agency: 10 Potential Replacements If Josh Hamilton Leaves Texas Rangers
By Lance Reaves (Featured Columnist) on August 18, 2012
Okay, so technically it's going to be really hard for any one player to
"replace" Josh Hamilton. Talk all you want about his off-the-field problems
or aggressiveness at the plate, when it's all said and done, he has been one
of the best players in baseball over the last five years.
這麼說吧 技術上來講 你找不到能"取代"Hamilton的人選
畢竟他可是這五年來最棒的球員之一
There is a real chance that he leaves when this season is over and calls a
new ballpark home in 2013. If that happens, someone will have to run to his
old position in the outfield and take his spot in the lineup.
Here are 10 potential players who the Texas Rangers might target for this job.
但我們都知道 Hamilton明年很有機會改披新戰袍
讓我們想想誰能接替他的位置吧
Leonys Martin
Martin is the standout candidate to replace Hamilton if the Rangers decide to
stay in-house.
The front office showed a lot of faith in the Cuban outfielder when they gave
him a $15 million contract in 2011. The 24-year-old has plenty of skills that
can make him a solid contributor in the Texas lineup for years to come.
He has had limited experience in the majors so far, but this season he has
crushed the ball in the minor leagues. Martin is hitting .362 with a .429 OBP
and a 1.046 OPS for the Rangers’ Triple-A affiliate.
最有可能的候選人是 Leonys Martin
他擁有許多 skills 使他足以在明年站穩中外野
他在今年屠殺了3A
B.J. Upton
Upton has been in the big leagues so long that sometimes it’s easy to forget
that he is only 27. His name has come up in trade rumors the last couple
years, but he remained in Tampa Bay and is set to hit the free-agent market
in 2013.
The center fielder's talent has never really been questioned. He can steal 40
bases, hit 20 homers and play Gold Glove defense when he wants to.
B.J. has also been the focus of some controversy the last few years,
including a scuffle in the dugout with teammate Evan Longoria.
This might raise a red flag for a Rangers’ team that has built their success
on cohesiveness and team chemistry.
在大聯盟打滾多年的 B.J. Upton 時常讓人忘了他才27歲的事實
這位充滿天分的球員即將衝擊自由市場
只要他願意 他可以繳出40盜 20轟 同時拿到金手套
令人擔心的是他在過去幾年也有失控的表現
最惡名昭彰的就是在休息室跟隊友 Longoria 的打架事件
簽下他可能會破壞原本的團隊氣氛
Michael Bourn
Bourn is not a player who is going to produce the type of numbers Josh
Hamilton does in the home run and RBI departments.
This center fielder bats at the top of the lineup and generates runs in other
ways. His speed in particular is his biggest strength. Bourne has stolen over
60 bases twice the last three years, and the one year he didn’t, he stole 52.
He is a consistent hitter with a solid OBP, so he generally gives himself
plenty of chances to annoy pitchers on the bases.
The 29-year-old is a two-time Gold Glove winner as well.
你不可能期待 Bourn 交出 Hamilton 般的全壘打與打點成績
這隻快腿用另外一種方式替球隊製造分數: 盜壘!
過去3年他都交出50+ 的盜壘成績 並且有著穩定的上壘率
同時這位29歲的打者還是兩次金手套獎的得主
Shane Victorino
Victorino will join Upton and Bourn as one of the top center fielders on the
market this offseason.
He apparently wanted a five-year contract extension from the Phillies before
the season started. The two sides couldn’t come to an agreement and
Victorino was shipped to the Dodgers at the deadline.
Shane is a very good leadoff hitter and a top centerfielder, winning three
straight Gold Gloves from 2008 to 2010.
However, if the Rangers are willing to give a five-year deal to a soon-to-be
32-year-old, it will most likely be given to Hamilton.
Victorino今年與費城談五年延長合約失敗 然後被送到道奇
他是非常好的首棒打者 同時蟬聯08~10的金手套獎
不過如果條子願意給這位即將32歲的打者五年合約
那為什麼不乾脆選 Hamilton 呢
Delmon Young
Young is another guy who is still relatively young despite playing in his
seventh big league season. The 26-year-old was the No. 1 overall pick in the
2003 amateur draft.
Potential is not the problem. He finished second in Rookie of the Year voting
in 2007. He had his best season in 2010 for Minnesota, hitting .298 with 21
homers and 112 RBI.
Unfortunately, Young comes with his fair share of baggage. If he signs with
the Rangers this offseason, it will be his fourth team in eight seasons. Most
recently, he was arrested this past April for aggravated harassment.
The Rangers have strong leadership in the locker room, so perhaps that can
help.
潛力不會是 Delmon Young 的問題
這位26歲的球員已經在大聯盟打滾七年
在2007年拿過最佳新秀第二名
在2010年在雙城交出 .298 21轟 112分打點
不幸的是 過去7年他已經待過3支球隊
今年四月還因為性騷擾案被捕
Nick Swisher
No one seems to enjoy being a Yankee more than Swisher, but right now his team
’s front office is in a tough spot. Multiple-time All-Stars Robinson Cano
and Curtis Granderson also need new contracts, which might make Swisher
expendable.
The 31-year-old won’t likely win many MVPs, but he is a versatile
switch-hitter who plays hard every game.
The affable Swisher would also fit in well with the Rangers’ loose clubhouse
atmosphere.
可能沒有人比 Nick Swisher 更喜歡當個洋基人
但現在的情況是洋基沒有薪資空間容納他
這位31歲的打者不太可能拿MVP
但左右開弓的他是個多功能的打者
容易親近的他也應該能融入條子團隊
Cody Ross
Ross is somewhat of a journeyman. He has played for six teams since his debut
in 2003. He has never made an All-Star team, and to this point his career
highlights are an NLCS MVP and a world championship with the Giants.
The 31-year-old signed a small contract with Boston and is having a
productive season (.276/18/60).
He is no Josh Hamilton, few players are, so he won’t likely command a huge
contract. If the Rangers feel he can replicate the season he is having for
the Red Sox this year, he could be a good signing that still leaves the team
with money to improve the club in other areas.
浪人 Cody Ross 已經打過六支球隊
他沒進過明星賽 人生的頂峰是在巨人拿了 NLCS MVP
31歲的他今年在紅襪交出一個有貢獻的球季 (.276/18/60)
他不會要一份大合約 這給了條子空間去補強其他位置
Curtis Granderson
Granderson has a club option with the Yankees for 2013 that they will most
likely pick up. In the case that this doesn’t happen, he will hit the
free-agent market this year.
The 31-year-old has had three very productive seasons in the Bronx. He hasn’
t hit for a high average, but if anyone can replace the power and run
production of Hamilton, it’s Granderson. His 96 home runs and counting
during the last three years would look real good in Arlington with that jet
stream in right field.
He is also durable, playing in at least 156 games four times the last six
seasons.
洋基有2013年 Granderson 的球隊選擇權 而且非常有可能執行
如果洋基選擇放他進FA 他是最有可能複製Hamilton長打能力與打點的人
他很適合阿靈頓這個球場 同時非常耐操
Justin Upton
The Rangers can also attempt to replace Hamilton via trade, which wouldn’t
cost money but instead some of their prized prospects.
Justin Upton’s name came up in the crazy swirl of trade rumors at the
deadline, but Texas didn't want to lose their top prospects at the time.
The Diamondback’s outfielder is only 24. He has plenty of experience and is
signed through 2015.
Should Hamilton leave, Upton provides an alternative with a big upside. He
has proven power (31 HR in 2011) and speed (20-plus stolen bases in 2009 and
2011). He also brings an injection of youth to an aging core of position
players in Texas.
He won’t be cheap, but the Rangers have the farm system to make the deal if
they so
透過交易取得 Justin Upton 或許是另外一種辦法
這不會損失很多薪資空間 但要用掉一些有價值的 prospects
他在交易大限前一直是熱門交易人選
但條子最終選擇不要放掉 top prospects 來交換他
他才24歲 有豐富經驗而且可以用到2015年
他的長打能力與速度都已經被證明
Carlos Gonzalez
Another name to keep an eye on for a possible trade is Carlos Gonzalez. The
Rangers apparently showed some interest in him earlier this year.
The 26-year-old is one of the emerging stars in baseball. He won the batting
title in 2010, finishing that season with .336/34/117 and 26 stolen bases.
Add a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger to his resume as well.
He signed a seven-year, $80.5 million contract last year, so Colorado
obviously has some plans for him. However, the Rockies could decide to move
him to improve their pitching, which currently ranks last in all of baseball
in team ERA.
It’s worth noting that the Rangers have plenty of good arms in their farm
system.
The Rockies don’t seem ready to trade their star outfielder just yet. The
minute that changes, expect the Rangers to be one the first teams on the
phone with Colorado, especially if Hamilton leaves.
另一個值得注意的可能人選是 Carlos Gonzalez
今年年初條子展現對他的興趣
這位26歲的新星在2010年名列打擊王 當季交出 .336/34/117 與 26次盜壘
他也擁有金手套獎和銀棒獎
去年他與洛磯簽下七年$80.5M合約 而洛磯對他也有所計畫
即使如此 現在ERA墊底的洛磯隊或許會想增強他們的投手陣容
而條子農場裡正好有許多新鮮手臂
