But they don’t know where they are all going to be playing. 光芒在春訓結束後會有非常棒的陣容，目前的問題是有些人不知道他們到底該打哪個位置 Battles at three positions will highlight the Rays’ second spring in Port Charlotte, Fla., as they open camp confident they have a good enough team to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox for a spot in the playoffs. 光芒今年是第二次到他們的新春訓基地，而今年的焦點是有3個守位是在春訓讓大家競爭的。同時今年的他們也絕對有能力和基襪一較長短 The most important addition was at the back end of the bullpen as, days after principal owner Stuart Sternberg told reporters “there’s no $7 million closer showing up,” they swung a deal with Atlanta for Rafael Soriano and signed him to a one-year, $7.25 million contract. 今年最重要的新成員是他們以7.25M和Rafael Soriano簽了一年約，而之前他們的 principal owner Stuart Sternberg(principal owner要翻成？)還說不會簽要價超過7M 的終結者(又是一個口嫌體正直啊~) The boldest move was bringing in catcher Kelly Shoppach in a trade with Cleveland so he could push and challenge incumbent Dioner Navarro for playing time. 而今年最大膽的改變是和笑臉人交易來了Kelly Shoppach來和Dioner Navarro競爭 And the most intriguing situation will be a four-man competition for the other open spots in the lineup, at second base and in right field. Ben Zobrist will play one of the positions, but where he ends up will be a product of how the others do, with Reid Brignac and Sean Rodriguez acquired from the Angels in the Scott Kazmir trade last August) competing at second and Matt Joyce making his bid for a spot in right field. 另外最有趣的部分是會有4個人在競爭二壘和右外野兩個位置，Ben Zobrist會拿到其中一個位置，而剩下的那一個就會讓Reid Brignac、Sean Rodriguez (去年Kazmir的交易拿到的) 、Matt Joyce三個人來競爭 The Rays have a few other issues, such as filling the last spot in the bullpen (Andy Sonnanstine is the favorite) and settling on a batting order (Jason Bartlett probably will stay on top). 其他光芒要解決的問題還有牛棚中的最後一個位置(目前Andy Sonnanstine領先)，以及要安排先發打序(Jason Bartlett應該會打第一棒) But after following up the thrill of 2008 with a disappointing 2009, the Rays are poised to make a run at getting back to the playoffs and have a limited window as several key players, such as Soriano, 1B Carlos Pena、LF Carl Crawford and DH Pat Burrell are not signed past this season. 在令人興奮的2008和失望的2009後，光芒已經作好準備要重返季後賽， and have a limited window as several key players, such as Soriano, 1B Carlos Pena LF Carl Crawfordand DH Pat Burrell are not signed past this season. (這邊是說已經和這三位選手展開單一窗口談判來討論續約嗎？) WHERE: Charlotte Sports Park, Port Charlotte, Fla. This is the Rays’ second season in Port Charlotte after spending the first 11 years training in their regular-season home of St. Petersburg, so it should feel a bit more familiar and normal this year. The facility is state of the art and very impressive, and the town is a bit on the quiet side, which team officials probably like more than the players. Top Candidate To Surprise: OF Matt Joyce came to the Rays with grand expectations in a December 2008 trade but went into spring training with a nagging injury, and even though he made the opening-day roster (as a fill-in for injured B.J. Upton) he never really showed what he could do and spent most of the season in Class AAA. The Rays are trying to temper those expectations this year but hope that the plate discipline and power he showed at Durham translate to the big leagues 最有可能驚喜的球員：Matt Joyce 在2008年12月時Matt Joyce在大家期待下來到光芒，但卻帶著傷勢參加春訓，儘管如此，因為B.J. Upton的受傷他仍進入開季名單，而去年他並未發揮水準並在AAA度過大半個球季，球團今年嘗試減輕被期待的壓力，並希望他能將他在AAA所展現的選球眼和長打能力轉化成大聯盟的實績 Top Candidate To Disappoint: 2B Reid Brignac is going to get a chance to compete for the starting second base job as well as a backup infield role based on his play last year in the majors (.278, 1 HR, 6 RBI in 31 games) and minors (.282, 8, 44 in 96 games). But Brignac is a natural shortstop who has to show he can make the transition to the other side. 最有可能失望的球員：Reid Brignac Reid Brignac今年有機會競爭到先發二壘的位置，就算沒有他今年也可以靠著他去年在大聯盟(.278, 1 HR, 6 RBI in 31 games)和小聯盟(.282, 8, 44 in 96 games)的成績得到內野替補的位置。但他是一位天生的游擊手，今年他必須證明他有足夠能力去作守位間的轉換。 Authority Figures: Manager Joe Maddon is 309-340 in four seasons on the job, combining his deep-thinking style and pop culture personality to create a positive atmosphere around the clubhouse. There was a change to the coaching staff: Derek Shelton, who previously had been with the Indians, was hired as hitting coach, replacing Steve Henderson. 過去四個球季Joe Maddon繳出了309-340的成績，基於他做事有規劃的風格和趕得上流行的個性(不是很多人說他是顆西瓜嗎囧？)，成功的在休息室裡營造出了正向的球隊氣氛。而在教練的部分，前笑臉人系統的Derek Shelton會取代Steve Henderson打擊教練的位置 NOTES, QUOTES —rhp Joaquin Benoit, who missed all of last season after having Tommy John elbow surgery in January 2009, signed a minor league deal with the Rays and was invited to spring training. Benoit, 32, pitched for Texas from 2001-08, going 30-26 with eight saves and a 4.79 ERA. 因為手肘Tommy John手術而缺席整個2009的Joaquin Benoit和光芒簽下了小聯盟約，並被邀請參加春訓，32歲的Joaquin Benoit從2001到2008都帶在遊騎兵，八年內繳出了30-26 with 8 SV、4.79 ERA的成績 ‧ RHP Matt Garza is among the pitchers excited by what the addition of closer Rafael Soriano means to the strength of the entire bullpen. “Now, we don't have a closer by committee—we know who our guy is,”Garza said.“It's not six guys jumping off the bench in the eighth inning going, ‘Who's throwing?’It's one guy.” Matt Garza對於Rafael Soriano的到來表示超爽的！！！他說〝所以現在我們終於沒有救援委員會了，我們知道我們的終結者會是誰，8局後不會每天都有6個人輪流從板凳上來，現在就是他會幫我們守最後一關.〞 ‧ INFs Angel Chavezand J.J. Furmaniak were added to the spring training roster after signing minor league deals with major league camp invites. Ticketed for Class AAA Durham, both have limited major league experience and give the Rays some needed depth. 內野手Angel Chavez和 J.J. Furmaniak在簽下小聯盟約後會參加春訓，他們都有一些大聯盟的經驗去提供光芒需要的板凳深度 ‧ SS Tim Beckham highlights a group of four players from the organization added to the spring roster. Also invited are RHP Heath Rollins, a 24-year-old who spent most of last season at Double-A Montgomery, where he went 9-11 with a 3.83 ERA, and Cs Craig Albernaz and Nevin Ashley. 游擊手大物Tim Beckham也被邀請參加春訓，另外還邀請了24歲的Heath Rollins，去年大都待在AA，並投出了9-11 with a 3.83 ERA的成績 ‧ INF Elliot Johnson is one player who will use spring training as an audition for the other 29 teams. He is out of options and doesn’t appear to fit into the Rays’ plans. ‧ CF B.J. Upton lost his arbitration case and will make $3 million instead of $3.3 million, but both Upton and team officials said before the Feb. 12 hearing that they won’t let the result affect their relationship. “Both sides are anxious to get past the hearing and to focus exclusively on the upcoming season,” Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman said. The Rays are 5-0 in arbitration cases in franchise history. 中外野手B.J. Upton雖然輸掉了仲裁，但雙方都不會讓這件事影響到彼此的奇摸子，高層 Andrew Friedman也出來搓湯圓說〝我們沒有奇摸子的問題，大家把明年打好再說.〞光芒在隊史仲裁上是5勝0負。 By The Numbers: 12—Rookies among the 56 players on the Rays’ spring roster. 春訓56人中有12人去過洛磯 Quote To Note: “I think one of the problems we had last year was that those guys in the bullpen didn’t really have a role, they didn’t really understand when they were coming in.”—Starter James Shields looking back at the 2009 closer-by-committee setup. James Shields對於去年的救援委員會現象也很不蘇胡，他補刀說〝去年我們其中一個問題就是那些牛棚投手們沒有明確的角色，他們不知道他們什麼時候該上來.〞 (光芒投手對於救援委員會幹意滿點！！！西瓜出來面對！) ROSTER REPORT The Rays went into the offseason confident they were better than an 84-win team and needed to make only tweaks to their roster to challenge for a postseason berth. That’s pretty much what they did. The biggest improvement came to the bullpen with the addition of closer RHP Rafael Soriano, followed by the acquisition of Kelly Shoppach to challenge Dioner Navarro for the catcher’s job. They will take long looks at three players who spent most of 2009 in the minors—OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez. 光芒對於季後補強信心十足，因為他們知道自己絕對不只是個84勝的球隊，他們只需要作一些小改變就可以了。最大的改進就在於終結者Rafael Soriano的到來，和獲得Kelly Shoppach 來和 Dioner Navarro競爭，除此之外，他們也會對OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez 三位選手仔細觀察。 Arrivals: RHP Rafael Soriano (trade with Braves), C Kelly Shoppach (trade with Indians), 1B Dan Johnson(minor league free agent from Japan), RHP Mike Ekstrom (claimed off waivers from Padres), RHP Joaquin Benoit (minor league free agent from Rangers). Departures: C Gregg Zaun( (free agent, signed with Brewers), 2B Akinori Iwamura (traded to Pirates), C Michel Hernandez (free agent, signed minor league deal with Orioles), LHP Brian Shouse (free agent, signed minor league deal with Red Sox), OF Gabe Gross (non-tendered, signed with A’s), RHP Russ Springer (free agent, unsigned), RHP Chad Bradford (free agent, unsigned). Spring Focus: Though most of the roster appears set, the Rays actually have a lot of decisions to make this spring. There will be a competition between incumbent Dioner Navarro and newcomer Kelly Shoppach at catcher, and there are also openings in right field and second base—one will be filled by Ben Zobrist, the other by either Matt Joyce (in RF) or Reid Brignac or Sean Rodriguez (at 2B). There also will be a battle for the one open spot in the bullpen. And 1B/DH Dan Johnson could work his way into the mix for a bench spot. 春訓焦點：雖然大部分的名單都已經出來了，但今年春訓光芒球團還是要做很多決定， Kelly Shoppach 和 Dioner Navarro的競爭，OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez三人也會競爭Ben Zobrist 不打的那個位置，而牛棚也還有一個位置，另外可打一壘或DH的Dan Johnson 應該會加入板凳。 Projected Rotation: 1. RHP James Shields 2. RHP Matt Garza 3. RHP Jeff Niemann 4. LHP David Price 5. RHP Wade Davis (這個輪值真的是恐怖的潛力無窮啊！) The Rays make it very clear they are counting on a young and still somewhat inexperienced rotation to carry them; Shields, 28, and Garza, 26, are the veterans of the staff. Consider that among them, Niemann, Price and Davis have started only 62 big-league games and won only 27. 光芒已經表明要組成一個或許沒那麼有經驗，但是年輕有天分的輪值。28歲的Shields和 26歲的Garza已經是裡面的資深球員了，剩下的三人Niemann、 Price、Davis一共只在大聯盟出賽過62場並拿下27勝。 The Rays are banking heavily that the progress Niemann and Price made last year carries over. They don’t have many other options, with RHP Andy Sonnanstine and prospect RHP Jeremy Hellickson probably next in line. 光芒球團對於Niemann 和 Price的成長寄望甚高，但其實他們也沒太多其他選項，備案大概是Andy Sonnanstine或是還在小聯盟的下一個大物Jeremy Hellickson Projected Bullpen: RHP Rafael Soriano (closer) RHP Dan Wheeler LHP J.P. Howell RHP Grant Balfour RHP Lance Cormier LHP Randy Choate RHP Andy Sonnanstine The addition of Soriano as a closer was the Rays’ marquee move of the offseason, addressing their biggest void and improving their entire bullpen. The relievers who had been handling the ninth-inning duties, such as Howell, Wheeler and Balfour, will be used earlier in the game. Soriano的加入是季後最大的補強，他補上了光芒最弱的一塊，而之前的救援委員會就會在9局前提早上場。 Howell’s performance will be key as he returns to the setup role he handled tremendously well in 2008. Choate and Cormier were pleasant surprises last season and earned the chance to come back. Sonnanstine is the favorite to win the one open spot. Howell的表現會是關鍵，在2008年他在setup這個位子表現得很好，而今年他又要回到這個位置。Choate 和 Cormier是上一季的兩個驚喜，而Sonnanstine會是牛棚剩下那個位置最好的選擇。 Projected Lineup: 1. SS Jason Bartlett 2. LF Carl Crawford 3. 3B Evan Longoria 4. 1B Carlos Pena 5. 2B Ben Zobrist 6. CF B.J. Upton 7. DH Pat Burrell 8. RF Matt Joyce 9. C Kelly Shoppach or Dioner Navarro Until the Rays decide who is going to be in the lineup at second base and right field, it’s going to be hard for manager Joe Maddon to decide how the complete lineup is going to look. The top five are relatively set, though it’ s possible Maddon could tinker with the middle of the order since Zobrist is a switch-hitter. 在二壘和右外野人選確定前，西瓜會很難排先發打線，但是前五棒應該是確定的，而唯一的變數是因為Zobrist是左右開弓的打者而會有一些調整 Maddon likes to alternate right and left hitters as much as possible and likes to have speed at the bottom. 西瓜的習慣是他喜歡排鋸齒打線，並把快腿擺在前段棒次。 Projected Reserves: OF Gabe Kapler INF Willy Aybar C Dioner Navarro or Kelly Shoppach INF Reid Brignac or Sean Rodriguez The Rays stress positional flexibility and believe they have that with this group. Kapler can play all three outfield spots, and Rodriguez and Brignac can handle the corner and middle infield spots. There is also a decent mix of power (Kapler, Aybar, Shoppach, Rodriguez) and some speed (Kapler). 光芒在陣容調整上有很多彈性，Kapler可以守外野三個位置，而Rodriguez 和 Brignac可以搞定內野四個位置，同時這個板凳也有足夠的長打能力和一些速度 If Brignac or Rodriguez wins the starting second base job and Ben Zobrist ends up in right, then Matt Joyce could end up on the bench instead. 如果Rodriguez 或 Brignac拿到了先發二壘的位置，則Matt Joyce也會回板凳。 Top Rookies: OF Desmond Jennings earned the Rays’ minor league player of the year award and a spot on numerous top-prospect lists after a spectacular 2009 season in which he hit a combined .318 with 11 homers, 62 RBI, 92 runs, 31 doubles, 52 steals and a .401 on-base percentage at Class AA Montgomery and Class AAA Durham. Though he’s unlikely to make the team out of camp, the Rays expect to see him sometime during the 2010 season. 外野手Desmond Jennings是去年農場的最有價值球員，並且出現在無數的頂級新秀討論中，在2009他在AA和AAA打出了.318 with 11 homers, 62 RBI, 92 runs, 31 doubles, 52 steals and a .401 on-base percentage的成績，雖然他還不能馬上作出貢獻，但球團期待他能在2010季中上來。 RHP Jeremy Hellickson was the organization’s top minor league pitcher after a stellar season split between Class AA Montgomery and Class AAA Durham, going 9-2 with a 2.45 ERA and .178 opponents’ average (which would have led all of minor league baseball if he had enough innings to qualify). He too is in position to provide depth and make his debut during the 2010 season. 右投手Jeremy Hellickson是農場中的頂級投手新秀，在AA和AAA裡繳出了9-2 with a 2.45 ERA and .178 opponents’ average的成績，而如果局數夠的話，他的被打擊率是領先全小聯盟的，他也和Jennings一樣在2010季中會有上來的機會。 Medical Watch: ‧ C Dioner Navarro (left elbow surgery in October 2009) is expected to be ready for spring training. ‧ OF Fernando Perez (left shoulder surgery in October 2009) is expected to be ready sometime during the middle of spring training. ‧ 1B Carlos Pena (broken left index and middle fingers) said in January he was fully recovered and taking batting practice. ‧ INF Willy Aybar (slightly sprained right wrist) stopped playing winter ball in early January at the Rays’ request, but he is not expected to be limited in spring training. 1.Dioner Navarro可望在春訓歸隊 2.Fernando Perez可能要在春訓一半時才能歸隊 3.Carlos Pena說他在1月時就已經復原並開始作打擊練習了 4.Willy Aybar在1月初被球團從冬季聯盟叫了回來，但應該是不會限制他在春訓的表現 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.71.217.217 ※ 編輯: knoxvillt 來自: 61.231.51.4 (02/20 12:33)
