What do you think will happen with third base for the Sox next year? With
Mike Lowell having such a great year, do you see the Red Sox signing him to
another contract? Or do they make a play for Alex Rodriguez if he opts out of
his contract? Maybe Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins?
Lately, the Sox have been reluctant to hand out multi-year contracts to older
players, and Lowell will be looking for his last big contract, so I'm
inclined to believe the Sox may look elsewhere. What are some other
possibilities?
明年三壘的狀況如何呢? Mike Lowell今年打得這麼好,紅襪會再簽下他嗎? 或者他們將
試試A-rod或小卡布?
紅襪最近似乎不太情願給老球員複數年合約,而Lowell也在追求他的最後一張大約了,我
感覺紅襪在找其他的方案。其他的機會如何?
-- Brandon W., Auburn, Maine
The typical way the Red Sox handle free agents is that they set a value on
that player and don't go very far above it, if at all. So, I guess to answer
your question, if the club and Lowell have a similar view of what his value
is, there's a good shot he'll be back in 2008 and beyond. But if there's a
large gap, Lowell could go elsewhere. Lowell has been a tremendous cog for
this team this year and it's hard to imagine the team without him. But we've
said that about other players in the past, such as a certain center fielder
who now makes his home in the Bronx.
紅襪處理自由球員的典型方式是設定一個他們認為不會太離譜基準。如果高層和Lowell
對於這個合約的觀點是相似的,那在2008年及之後會有很好的機會再看到他。但是如果
雙方的觀點差距太大,Lowell就會離開。Lowell和本隊今年這麼合拍,實在是很難想像
沒有他會怎麼啊(靠就喇賽啊 不然還會怎樣)。但是別忘了現在那位正在某隊的中外野
奔跑的先例啊,幹那時候我也是這麼說的(一切都很難講啦)
A-Rod might just be the best player in baseball, so the Red Sox will at least
see where the market is. My personal feeling is that it's going to be too
lucrative an investment and that he'll either wind up back with the Yankees
-- as one high-ranking Red Sox executive strongly believes -- or go to the
West Coast. Cabrera is arbitration-eligible and I'm not so sure the Marlins
would want to get rid of such a fine talent. One other option if Lowell
leaves is moving Youkilis to third and finding a first baseman.
A-Rod也許是最好的棒球員,所以紅襪至少會看看市場的狀況再做決定。我個人感覺是
A-Rod實在是很好賺啊,當紅襪高層夠堅定不亂投錢的時候,他大概會回去嗯歪歪或是
前往投靠西岸那些錢也很多的球隊。小卡布有仲裁資格,要等馬大魚會不會放掉他。還
有另一個方案,就是在Lowell離開之後把Youk抓去三壘,再找個一壘手。

I was wondering if the Clay Buchholz callup was in time for him to be
eligible for the postseason roster. Isn't it Sept. 1 that you have to be
activated in order to be eligible? I believe he was activated on Sept. 1
which would not qualify. Would you be able to clarify this?
我想知道巴扣子被叫上來的時間點是不是能讓他打季後賽。不是九月一日之前你就必
須搞定名單嗎? 我相信巴扣子是來不及的。你可解釋一下嗎?
-- Brian R., Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Technically, that is the rule. However, there are ways around it. The Red Sox
currently have two pitchers on the disabled list in Matt Clement and Brendan
Donnelly. Assuming both of those players are still on the DL when the season
ends, a pitcher from within the organization, such as Buchholz, could fill
that roster spot in postseason play.
技術上規則是這樣沒錯。不過還是有其他方法的。現在紅襪的傷兵名單裡面還有山羊鬍
和Brendan Donnelly這兩個投手。假設在球季結束之後這兩個傢伙還在DL上面,那就可
以抓一個組織裡面投手,如巴扣子,填到名單裡來玩季後賽。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After seeing Buchholz throw a no-hitter Saturday night with Jason Varitek
behind the plate, it occurred to me that this is the third time a Sox pitcher
has thrown a no-hitter to Varitek. Which catcher in history leads this
category?
看到巴扣子搭配隊長的接捕而在星期六晚上完成無安打比賽之後,讓我想到這可是第三度
有紅襪的投手配合Varitek而投出無安打了。有那個捕手在這項記錄上領先嗎?
-- Kevin J., Fort Mill, S.C.
Excellent question. Upon research, the answer will probably surprise most of
you. A Hall of Famer named Ray Schalk holds the record by catching four
no-hitters. Schalk played all but one of his 18 seasons with the Chicago
White Sox before retiring in 1929.
好問題! 在研究後,這答案可能會讓你們感到訝異。一位名人堂的捕手Ray Schalk接捕
四場無安打比賽。Schalk在他的18個球季之中(除了其中之一)為白襪隊效力直到1929年
。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think J.D. Drew has been the biggest disappointment this year in regards to
everything. Julio Lugo has more RBIs than him and he's a leadoff hitter. At
least when Julio was in his 0-for-33 slump he looked like he was trying. Drew
doesn't even seem like he cares. What are the specifics of his contract? Is
there anyway we can trade him?
我認為絕地豬是今年最大的失望。Lugo的打點都比他多了耶,而且他還是第一棒。至少
Lugo在他33個打數沒安打的低潮期看起來還有在嘗試突破。絕地豬則是令人感覺他一點
都不在乎呀。他合約的詳細內容是什麼呢? 有辦法交易他嗎?
-- Jeff S., Manchester, N.H.
First of all, you're correct. Drew has been a disappointment thus far.
However, just because Drew is not a rah-rah guy by nature I think it's unfair
to say he doesn't care. I've chatted with him enough this season to think
that he does care.
首先我必須說你是對的。目前為止Drew是讓人失望的。但畢竟他的個性本來就不high,
我覺得說他毫不在乎是有失公平的。我和他聊過天啦,感覺他真的很在乎。
For whatever reason, he's having a disappointing year. Is it injuries? The
adjustment to playing in an environment like Boston? The adjustment to
playing in the American League? The Red Sox have invested five years in Drew,
so I think it's unfair to write it off as a bad signing in the midst of the
first year. Maybe Drew will be the October hero of this team. Wouldn't that
be ironic?
無論如何今年他都喇賽了。是受傷嗎? 還是在Boston的調整期? 還是在美聯的調整期?
紅襪投資了五年合約在他身上,而在第一年的季中就說這是一份失敗的合約似乎不公平
。也許Drew將會在季後賽變成英雄呢! 哈哈哈
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do the Red Sox have in mind for Jacoby Ellsbury in terms of his Major
League career?
紅襪對於Jacoby Ellsbury的大聯盟生涯是怎麼考量的?
-- Nancy W., Beverly, N.J.
The Red Sox view him as their center fielder of the future, and with good
reason. The kid has loads of talent. The only question is when that future
starts. Coco Crisp is under contract through 2009, so the Red Sox will have
to make a decision this winter. If they decide Ellsbury is ready to be the
Opening Day center fielder in 2008, perhaps they will explore other
opportunities for Crisp.
紅襪有很好的理由將他視為未來的中外野手。這孩子充滿著天份,唯一的問題是所謂的
「未來」是從何時開始。Coco的合約到2009年,所以紅襪將在這個冬天做決定。如果他
們認為小帥哥已經準備好成為2008的中外野先發,或許他們會把Coco弄走也不一定。
