Spring countdown discussion: Catcher
By Steve Foster
One of the few positions that created some drama for the Colorado Rockies
this offseason has been talked about at length here on the site. But it's
as good a place to start daily discussions about what the Rockies are
going to look like when spring training opens later this month.
開場白:該是時候在春訓開始前分析一下洛磯新球季各守備位置的情形了。
Who’s starting: Chris Iannetta, for better or worse. Iannetta was benched
for the Rockies’ September run, making only one dramatic appearance with
a game-winning pinch-hit home run in the 11th inning against the Brewers
on Sept. 29. His batting average in 2009 was never anything to brag about,
but he was the Rockies’ top home-run threat for much of the early part of
the season before landing on the disabled list. When he returned, his
season was pretty much downhill until he finally lost his job to Yorvit
Torrealba. Whether this is the year Iannetta finally emerges as the catcher
the Rockies have long thought he could be has been the subject of much
debate here already. The Rockies believe it his time, and gave Iannetta a
three-year extension. The good news: the contract is reasonable money for
a backup if that is what Iannetta again becomes.
誰是先發:Chris Iannetta!即便在去年九月的先發工作讓給了阿爸,他曾在9/29
對釀酒人的比賽中擊出再見全壘打,他在進入傷兵名單前,也是洛磯火
藥庫的一員,今年季末洛磯給了他一份三年的合約,好消息是,這價碼
倘若 Iannetta 淪為候補也不算太貴!
Who’s backing up: The Rockies made a serious offer to retain Torrealba but
refused to budge on the reported $400,000 difference between what they were
willing to pay Torrealba and what he wanted. So the Rockies let their
former starting catcher, whose greatest month as a Rockie was likely his
last, walk and turned to Miguel Olivo on a one-year deal with an option
for 2011. Olivo gives the Rockies more power from their backup, a slight
upgrade defensively (at least throwing the ball) and a downgrade in
getting on base. Even if Iannetta struggles again, the difference between
Torrealba and Olivo probably won’t be felt offensively. Olivo is not
really better or worse than Torrealba, just different. The greater impact
would come in handling pitchers.
誰是候補:為了0.4M的差距,洛磯與阿爸告別,取而代之的是簽下了 Miguel Olivo
跟阿爸相比,在板凳捕手這個位置上守備算是升級了,雖然上壘率無法
和阿爸相提並論,但長打方面倒是和阿爸不分軒輊。
Who’s in the picture: The Rockies have a pair of Pauls — Phillips and
LoDuca — signed to minor-league contracts as insurance and possibly
mentors to some young catchers coming up through the system. Phillips
filled in admirably first for Torrealba, when he left the team in May,
and later Iannetta, who went on the disabled list around the same time.
Neither Phillips nor LoDuca is someone the Rockies would particularly
want to see in their starting lineup this season.
還有誰替補:洛磯請來了兩位保羅先生-一位是菲利普、一位是羅杜卡,去年菲利普
先生曾經接替孩子被綁架的阿爸以及受傷的Iannetta上場過,表現還算
中規中矩。
Who’s in the future: Mike McKenry is on the 40-man roster and is the
prospect closest to the majors. Whether he can be an everyday catcher
in the major leagues is still an open question, but he could be a solid
backup with his defense. He started 2009 slowly at Double-A Tulsa before
coming on and having a solid season. He likely isn’t in the picture for
2010 beyond a potential September callup or a rash of injuries. Behind
McKenry are Wilin Rosario, who should move up to Double-A at 21 years old,
and Jordan Pacheco, a converted infielder who had a great season in low
Single-A Asheville and will move up a level to Modesto.
還有哪些新秀:在四十人名單內的 Mike McKenry,是最接近大聯盟的一位,然而他
是否能夠成為一位未來的先發捕手仍有疑問,但毫無疑問他是為守
備優異的捕手,在 McKenry 還有一位小將 Wilin Rosario 預計今
年會從AA出發,從野手轉任的 Jordan Pacheco 則從1A出發。
Discuss: We’ve debated the relative merits of Iannetta vs. Torrealba or
Torrealba vs. Olivo or Iannetta vs. Olivo all winter. Some believe Iannetta
has been given a chance and failed. Some believe he showed promise last
season and is about to blossom. Rather than debate whether Iannetta should
be the starting catcher — it’s his job to lose, anyway — let’s consider
another angle. Assume more of the same from Iannetta this season: sub.-240
batting average, 15-20 home runs, 55-65 RBI while batting somewhere between
the sixth and eighth spots in the batting order. Can the Rockies remain
competitive in the NL West without noticeable offensive improvement from
Iannetta or will the Rockies’ season depend largely on Iannetta improving
his game? And what does an improved Iannetta look like anyway? Is .260+,
20-25 home runs, 75-85 RBI enough?
討論:這整個冬天我們總是為了阿爸、Iannetta、Olivo 三人的良窳而爭論不休,
有些人認為 Iannetta 已經給了他機會卻無法掌握,有些人則相信他將會開
花結果;以去年的成績 .240-/15-20HR/55-65RBI 六到八棒的表現,倘若能
夠進步到 .260+/20-25HR/75-85RBI 是否就足以帶領洛磯再一次勇闖季後賽
呢?
