The Rays announced this weekend that they have extended gold-glove candidate short stop Yunel Escobar through 2016 with an option for 2017. Activating the $5M option remaining on his current contract for 2015, the deal then guarantees $8M for 2016, with an option at $7M for 2017 or a $1M buyout. 32 2015 ＄ 5.0M Activate option 33 2016 ＄ 8.0M 34 2017 ＄ 7.0M 1M buyout The extension appears to have been originate by Escobar, who personally tracked down Andrew Friedman and expressed interest in the deal. Escobar recently changed agents last week. 續約是由Escobar主動提的，他主動找上Andrew Friedman並表達想續約的想法。 ------ Escobar's offense came in a 100 wRC+ last season, amid a two-year suppression of his in-play batting average. He has been steadily increasing his line drive percentages and power but recently stopped pulling the ball. The theory goes that should Escobar get back to hooking pitches, a few more balls will find corners and blue seats instead of gloves. Escobar連續兩年打擊率低迷後增加了擊出平飛球的比例，並減少拉打。 Over the past three seasons (2011-13), Escobar's .982 fielding percentage ranks third in the majors (min. 400 starts) behind Baltimore's J.J. Hardy (.988) and Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins (.983). According to Stats LLC, Escobar's .853 zone rating over the past two seasons (2012-13) leads all major league shortstops (min. 200 starts). His 3.9 WAR led American League shortstops last season. Escobar是… 過去三年守備率第三的游擊手。過去兩年的防守範圍評價最好的游擊手。去年是美聯WAR最高的游擊手。 Escobar particularly thrived last season after he was moved to the nine-hole in the lineup, batting a .777 OPS over 82 games. Heading into the season, Maddon named him a lock for the same position in the order. 打第九棒的82場比賽，OPS .777 今年開季也打第九棒。 Barring injury, this new deal will likely make Escobar the Rays leader in games played at short stop, currently led by Julio Lugo at 489 games played, followed by Jason Bartlett with 390 games played. The deal will also take pressure off Top-5 prospect Hak-Ju Lee, who recently had multiple ligament knee surgery. 沒意外的話，Escobar的出賽場次會超過Julio Lugo和Jason Bartlett。這筆簽約也可以減輕Hak-Ju Lee的壓力，他剛結束膝蓋韌帶手術的復健。 2017 will be Escobar's age-34 season. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.169.36.152 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Rays/M.1396746754.A.52C.html ※ 編輯: csy1911 (1.169.36.152), 04/06/2014 09:17:41
