Player To Watch 球員觀察 There are so many, how can I choose just one? Ben Zobrist should have an improved year at the plate, as a back injury sapped him of his power last season. BJ Upton is always a potential breakout candidate. Matt Joyce has some impressive power, and has the potential to develop into a force at the plate against both righties and lefties. 有那麼多的球員需要說明，我可以只選擇其中一位嗎？ Ben Zobrist 打擊成績應該能有所提昇，上季因為背傷削弱他的打擊力量。B.J. Upton 一直都在潛力爆發的候選名單。Matt Joyce 擁有令人印象深刻的驚人力量，並且其潛力能發展成面對左右投手時具有影響力的球員。 But how could I spend an entire season preview without talking about Manny Ramirez? After having a "down" season in 2010 – yes, a .382 wOBA is apparently considered a down year for this 39 year old – Ramirez was forgotten on the free agent market and went unsigned until late January. The Rays needed an extra bat in their lineup, especially after suffering through the horrors of Pat Burrell trying to hit in the American League, and Manny's pricetag was perfect: $2M (or $7.5M, if you consider Damon as well). Despite concerns that his bad speed may have slowed, Ramirez still reached base 40% of the time last season and hit for a respectable amount of power (.162 ISO). He's not the player he once was, but Manny could still be the steal of the off season. 可是我怎麼可能花費這麼多時間寫了完整球隊開季簡介沒有談論 Manny Ramirez 呢？儘管2010年是個"失敗"的球季 - 是的，對於今年39歲的他去年繳出 .382 wOBA 的成績顯然是"失敗"的一年 - (作者這邊想要強調人們只看到 Manny 的成績卻忽略了年齡) 直到去年一月 Ramirez 被遺忘在自由球員市場而且沒有任何一個GM想簽下他。球隊打線亟需一位強打者加入，尤其在遭受 Pat Burrell嘗試在美聯發揮卻完全被擊垮的慘狀之後，而且 Manny 的包裹標價相當低廉：只有2M(假如也把 Damon 考慮進去的話，換言之總共7.5M。補充：Manny 和 Damon 有點像是被 Boras 當作包裹一起賣)。儘管其差勁的速度可能變得更慢。Ramirez 上個球季仍舊達到4成的上壘率(.409 OBP)以及繳出總額值得尊敬長打成績(.162 ISO，ISO = Isolated Power 純長打率)。他已經不是以前那個站在打擊區上令人畏懼的 Manny Ramirez 了，但 Manny 仍舊可以在這個休季為自己悄悄地奪取一席之地。 Since arriving in Spring Training, Manny has been nothing but a positive presense: he's been working harder than anyone else, going to the batting cage even on off days, and working with Evan Longoria frequently. I'm not quite sure where the tales of him having attitude problems came from, but at the very least, he seems like a different man. 自從春訓到來，Manny 除了積極出現於基地之外沒有做任何事情：比任何人都還要努力調整狀態，即使在假日也會去打擊練習場，而且頻繁地與 Evan Longoria 一起練習。我完全不知道其練習態度問題從何而來。但至少，他好像和以前不太一樣。 Summary 總結 The Rays have a strong roster and most projection systems have them pegged as around an 87-88 win team. In the AL East, 88 wins is only good enough for third place and a pat on the back, but this is a high-variance team filled with young talent. They'll need some bad luck to hit the Yankees or Red Sox and some good luck to hit their roster, but competing for a playoff spot isn't out of the question. If a few good things bounce there way, the Rays could easily win 90+ games, and put themselves in the thick of the playoff hunt. 球隊擁有堅強的陣容但是大多數的預測系統預估他們為一支87～88勝的球隊。在美聯東區，88勝戰績不夠好僅能排第3名而且無法給予1、2名隊伍重擊，但這是由年輕有才華球員組成的一支具有高度變化性隊伍(作者可能是想表示他們的可塑性很高，大概吧，只有作者才知道為啥要用這個詞)。他們需要一些厄運打擊洋基或紅襪以及一些好運幫助自家球員 (背後意思大概說進季後賽相當困難，需要一些"運氣"。才借助"厄運"和"好運"分別對敵人和自家球員達到目的)，假如在季賽道路上能有一些好事逐開那裡的壞事(bounce 有逐開的意思)，球隊能輕易地贏得90場以上的比賽，以及把他們自己推往季後賽戰場。 And if the Rays don't manage to reach the playoffs this season, oh well, it was a restocking year for them anyway. Their roster is locked and loaded coming into 2012 and they have 10 first round draft picks in this year's amateur draft, so Yankees and Red Sox fans better not write off the Rays too quickly. They're not going anywhere. 但如果球隊不能在本季設法達到季後賽，喔，好吧。這對他們來說至少會是一個儲備戰力的一年。球隊今年選秀會上將會擁有10個第1輪選秀權補進新秀對其球員名單在進入2012年後將又會發生什麼樣的變化呢？(locked and loaded 原意M16步槍鎖定敵人和裝填子彈，引申將意味著會發生些什麼事情)，所以洋基和紅襪迷最好不要太快將光芒從勁敵名單上去除。他們就在背後虎視眈眈看著你，哪裡都不會去的。終於翻完整篇文章了，一句一句翻真的好累...。下次也學其他版友來個簡易翻譯好了，有錯的地方請指正。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.55.27 ※ 編輯: knoxvillt 來自: 61.231.55.27 (03/26 07:20)
