對於小市場的光芒來說，與其競逐自由市場裡的大魚，從別隊的小市場挖寶或許是更值得考慮的選項（例如今年的Russ Canzler。） Rather than looking at free agents that might not fit into the Rays plans (like Type-A free agents that I mistake for Type-B free agents). I said it would be a mistake to sign Josh Willingham even if his Type-A were gone. I liked the idea of Kelly Johnson but the Type-A status is a major hurdle to overcome. it is time to switch focus to some signable guys. 從自由市場進行補強也許不太適合光芒隊目前的計畫（像是簽下會被誤認為是Type B的 Type A球員）。我認為簽下Josh Willingham也許會是個錯誤，雖然他是Type A。我覺得找來Kelly Johnson的想法還不賴，但Type A會是最難克服的障礙。是時候來看看其他比較可行的選項了。 I have run down some potential first base options and have taken a look at our catcher conundrum. I have even taken some looks during the season at the shortstop position. One of my favorite options to back up at short and all over the infield is Jamey Carroll and he is apparently on the verge of a multi-year deal with an undisclosed team. Keeping my fingers crossed that the team is the Rays. 我找出一些潛在一壘手選項，搜尋捕手難題的解答，甚至在季中觀察了游擊手。在游擊手，甚至整個內野，我最喜歡的替補選項之一是Jamey Carroll，顯然他很接近與一支未公開的球隊簽下複數年約了，希望那支球隊就是光芒。 But, as we all know, the Rays are not going to sign a major name nor are they going to mortgage the future and trade top minor league talent to acquire a major bat. If they do trade it will most likely be from their plethora of major league ready pitching and hopefully land the Rays a young first baseman with pop. 就如我們所知，光芒不會去找大魚，更不會賭上未來，拿農場頂級新秀去交易大棒子。如果真的要交易，也是從大聯盟過多的投手群下手，並希望藉此找來年輕的一壘手。 But, as recent memory has suggested, the Rays have been great at filling gaps by finding used goods like Casey Kotchman, Carlos Pena, Joaquin Benoit, Grant Balfour... the list goes on, and I imagine the list will continue to go on this offseason. 但最近這幾年補強的經驗下來，光芒在找尋可用球員來填補陣容缺陷上做得很出色，例如：Casey Kotchman、Carlos Pena、Joaquin Benoit、Grant Balfour……，我能想像經過這個休賽期，這個名單還會更長。 With holes to fill in the bullpen, at first, catcher, and depth needed all over, the Rays will attempt to sign a few guys on minor league deals in hopes of striking gold. Here are a few players that I think the Rays would and should target. 想要補強牛棚、一壘、捕手，甚至全面加強深度，光芒會想和一些球員簽下小聯盟約，期待從中挖到金礦。下列有幾位球員是光芒可能鎖定的目標。 ****** 註：打者後方標示為（今年出賽層級出賽場次 BA/OBP/SLG）投手後方標示為（今年出賽層級投球局數 ERA/FIP/xFIP）標註藍色的球員，純粹是我比較期待的選項，無特殊意涵。 ****** First Base: I have always been a fan of Russell Branyan and I see no harm in offering him a minor league deal with a spring training invite. The man possesses one of the best HR/AB ratios in history and a good glove at first base. On-base machine and rarely healthy Nick Johnson would be another target of mine if he can stand up and potentially DH. Other candidates: Juan Miranda, Brad Eldred, Brad Nelson. 一壘手：身為Russell Branyan（MLB 37 .185/.299/.400）的死忠球迷，我認為和他簽下邀請春訓的小聯盟約，沒什麼壞處。這傢伙是史上最棒的HR/AB球員之一，一壘防守也不錯。很少保持健康的上壘機器Nick Johnson（無出賽記錄），如果可以穩定出賽，是另一個可以鎖定的目標，可考慮的DH人選。其他： Juan Miranda（MLB 65 .213/.315/.402） Brad Eldred （AAA 111 .278/.351/.536） Brad Nelson （AAA 121 .281/.360/.501） ****** Catcher: This is a very thin crop but you can never have enough depth at catcher. One option I like is Mitch Canham. He has little power and some question on defense but has great walk rates and just turned 27 so there may be some upside here. Can't hurt to add him for depth. 捕手：這部分的選擇較少，但捕手永遠不嫌多。Mitch Canham（AA 45 .226/.299/.284）是我喜歡的選項之一。他沒什麼長打能力，防守上也有疑慮，但有很好的被保送率，才27歲，也許還有點潛力。他的加入對捕手深度沒什麼害處。其他：（此為譯者推薦。） JoséMorales （MLB 22 .267/.352/.317） Cole Armstrong（AAA 68 .284/.374/.500） Chris Robinson（AAA 66 .316/.345/.396） ****** Infield: Another thin crop but there are a few guys that once intrigued me that could add some depth. Matt Antonelli is athletic and can play a few positions and Chin-Lung Hu can still play short. Brandon Wood has been thrown from team-to-team lately so why not the Rays? Steve Tolleson is another guy that has shown some ability to get on base but his defense is limited to third and he has little pop. 內野手：另一個選擇不多的位置，但還是有些球員引起我的興趣，而且是不錯的補充。運動力出色的Matt Antonelli（AAA 86 .297/.393/.460）可以防守多個位置。胡金龍（AAA 13 .194/.219/.258）依然可守游擊。Brandon Wood（MLB 105 .216/.270/.340）這幾年游走過很多球隊，也許下一支就是光芒。Steve Tolleson（AAA 123 .275/.388/.394）也展現過不錯的上壘能力，但只能守三壘。 ****** Outfield: If Nate McLouth can be had on a minor league deal then it needs to be done. He has on-base skills and can play solid defense in left and still has some pull power in that bat. In all honesty, the Rays have decent depth here and there are plenty of guys who they can get on a cheap major league deal that will pay solid dividens. I'm looking at you Andruw Jones. 外野手：如果Nate McLouth（MLB 81 .228/.344/.333）願意接受小聯盟約，那就應該提出報價。他有上壘能力，可以在左外野展現紮實的防守，還有一些長打能力。坦白說，光芒在這個位置上有很可觀的深度，可以用低廉的價格，換取可觀的回報。還在觀察Andruw Jones。（MLB 77 .247/.356/.495） ****** Bullpen: Blaine Boyer has been my Russell Branyan of relief pitchers. The career 56% groundball rate and 4.00 FIP look good to me and the mid-90s sinker and mid-80s slider combo look good to me. Manny Corpas, if healthy, provides some good upside with career ERA, FIP, and xFIP all under 4.00. Mitch Stetter is a good LOOGY candidate with 63 strikeouts and only 33 hits allowed to 202 lefties in his career. He strikes out nearly one-third of all lefties he faces and only allows a hit to less than one-fifth. 牛棚：對我而言，Blaine Boyer（MLB 6.2 10.80/7.53/4.94）就是後援投手中的Russell Branyan。生涯56%的滾地球比率，4.00的FIP，mid-90s的伸卡球配上mid-80s的滑球讓我很滿意。Manny Corpas（無出賽紀錄）健康時，生涯的ERA、FIP和xFIP都維持在4.00以下，能期待帶來不錯的貢獻。Mitch Stetter（MLB 7.0 5.14/5.60/4.40）是不錯的左手牛，生涯面對的202位左打中，三振了63人次，只被擊出33支安打。大約三分之一的左打被三振出局，只有四分之一的左打可以擊出安打。 ****** I'm not seeing much gold here but there is depth to add on minor league deals. Anyone else out there that you would like to see added on a minor league deal? 這裡面我挖不到太多寶藏，但可以增強小聯盟的深度。還有哪些人選是大家認為可以補充的呢？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.225.239 ※ 編輯: csy1911 來自: 61.231.225.239 (11/12 03:00)
