Re: [外電] Rays, Roberto Hernandez Nearing Deal
來聽聽Friedman對這筆簽約的說法
Friedman says RHP Hernandez a "risk-reward" signing
with "really compelling" upside
DECEMBER 18, 2012 JOE SMITH
The Rays haven't decided whether newly-acquired righthander Roberto Hernandez
- formerly known as Fausto Carmona - will be used as a starter or as a
reliever.
光芒還沒決定新援Roberto Hernandez（大家比較熟悉的名字是Fausto Carmona）
下季的定位。先發？後援？
But executive vice president Andrew Friedman said the veteran could compete
for a spot in the rotation and - either way - could play a big role in their
2013 season.
但光芒執行副總Andrew Friedman認為這位老將可以成為輪值中的一員，也許可
以成為2013賽季重要一員。
Hernandez's one-year, $3.25 million deal (with $1.85 million in incentives)
was officially announced Tuesday, with Tampa Bay hoping the former All-Star
returns to old form under a new name.
Hernandez正式在週二簽下一年$3.25M（包含$1.85M激勵條款），光芒期待這位換
了新名字前全明星可以恢復到過去的水準。
"We feel like this is a one of those risk-reward stories that makes a lot of
sense for us," Friedman said. "Upside is really compelling."
「我們認為這是個值得冒險的投資。」Friedman說。「他的天分令人期待。」
Hernandez is coming off a controversial, unproductive year with the Indians.
He began the season on MLB's restricted list due to visa issues stemming from
an offseason false-identity arrest in the Dominican Republic. After returning
to the United States, he served a three-week suspension and was activated. A
sprained right ankle on August 27 ended his season (0-3, 7.53 ERA).
Hernandez在印第安人過了充滿爭議且毫無貢獻的一年。因為偽造身分被多明尼加官
方逮捕，後續造成的簽證問題讓大聯盟一開季就將他放入受限名單。回到美國本土接受
三週的禁賽，好不容易重新站上大聯盟投手丘又因為八月二十七日扭傷右踝結束賽季，
只留下0勝3敗，防禦率7.53的成績。
Friedman said that, in many ways, 2012 was a "lost year" for Hernandez, but
they're confident in his makeup and that he'd fit in "extremely well" in the
Rays clubhouse. Hernandez brings experience, with the seven-year veteran
making the All-Star team in 2010, when he was the Indians Opening Day starter.
關於這件事，Friedman表示「從各個角度來看，2012是Hernandez失落的一年，但
我們很相信他的心理素質，而且對光芒來說是個完美的結合。這位老將在大聯盟打滾了
七年，2010年入選全明星，當年他更是印第安人開幕賽的先發。」
His best season came in 2007, when he finished fourth in the AL Cy Young
voting (19-8, 3.06 ERA). On the mound, Friedman cited Hernandez's ability to
pitch 200-plus innings (twice in his seven-year career), and groundball ratio
as strengths.
他的生涯年是2007年，以19勝8敗，防禦率3.06的好表現在美聯賽揚獎票選中，名
列第四。Friedman堅信Hernandez有能力貢獻200局以上的投球局數（生涯兩度），並提
供很穩定的滾地球率。
And with the Rays trading James Shields, a perennial 200-inning pitcher, and
Wade Davis to the Royals, Friedman said accounting for the lost innings was
"very much on our mind."
在光芒送走James Shields這位常年貢獻200局的投手後，Friedman說如何補償其中
局數的落差一直是管理層關心的問題。
"This guy has got really good stuff," Friedman said. "The two-seamer, which
he gets a lot of ground balls, slider, changeup. We feel like he has the
repertoire to get out righthanded and left-handed hitters."
「這傢伙有很棒的投球品質。」Friedman說「他的二縫線速球可以制造很多滾地球
另外還有滑球和變速球。我們認為他有能力解決打者，不論左打右打。」
註：根據Marc Topkin的報導，
Hernandez合約中$3.25M是受保障的，
激勵條款則會因定位（這部分交由教練團協商）而異，
如果先發出賽一定局數可以獲得$1.25M的獎勵；
後援出場一定次數可以獲得$0.60M的獎勵。
