原文： http://0rz.tw/Ur55G Spring countdown discussion: Bullpen Feb. 12, 2010 | 10:02 am By Steve Foster The Colorado Rockies enter 2010 with a bullpen that, like the team’s starting rotation, could be the most stable in franchise history. The late-innings trio returns intact while the rest of the bullpen will be comprised of 2009 holdovers, veterans returning from injuries and a pack of young arms trying to find a way to stick in the major leagues. 前言： 10年球季Rox的牛棚將會跟輪值一樣穩固，甚至可能是隊史上最穩當的一次。球賽後段三劍客(街哥、碧潭、Morales)持續發威，其他老面孔也將繼續扛起牛棚還有一些傷後復出的老將、準備竄起的新秀，都有可能在洛磯的比賽中登板。 Who’s closing: Huston Street took a lot of heat after the Rockies collapsed in the final two games of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. But without him, the team never would have been in the postseason. After a rough start to the season, he briefly lost the closer job before winning it back by the end of April. He went on to save 35 of 37 games, locking down the ninth in a way it hadn’t been since Manny Corpas took over the closer role in 2007 (before losing it in 2008 and again in 2009). Street sat out most of September with biceps tendinitis and returned on Sept. 22 to pitch six of the last 12 games, including a two-inning appearance the St. Louis Cardinals. Maybe he was tired or not entirely healthy, or maybe he was just off his game at the end. Whatever the reason, the Rockies aren’t worried. They avoided arbitration with Street and locked him up for three years and $22.5 million, giving the bullpen the anchor it was has long needed. 守護神：當然還是街哥(Huston Street)啦。雖然季後賽最後大崩盤，不過如果沒有他，洛磯根本不會進季後賽。街哥開季有些不穩，隨後開始霸占Closer的位置。九月因為二頭肌腱炎到月底才上場投球。或許他的身體狀況還不是很明朗，球隊卻不擔心季後隨即簽下三年的合約綁住Street，讓牛棚有了靠山。 Who’s setting up: Rafael Betancourt and Franklin Morales could be closers under different circumstances, and indeed, each closed games while Street was out in September. But Betancourt prefers the eighth inning and Morales is not yet reliable enough to close on a regular basis. But together, they make up a formidable right-left eighth-inning combo that can help shorten the game by another inning. The Rockies turned down an expensive 2010 option for Betancourt, but brought him back a more reasonable price for two years. Morales, who started 2009 in the Rockies starting rotation, may have at last found his niche after several years of tantalizing the team with his stuff but failing to stick in the majors. He still battles his command and focus at times, but when he’s locked in, he’s nearly impossible to hit, especially for lefties. 誰來佈局：碧潭跟Morales。他們都是可以關門的料。但是碧潭喜歡投第八局，Morales則不夠穩定到可以定期出場。不過他們所組成的左右護法讓洛磯隊的第八局令敵隊打者望而生畏，彷彿比賽就此少一局一樣。碧潭10年的option有點貴，不過Rox隨即簽下兩年約 (編按：10跟11年都是3.775M)這樣看起來合理多了。至於Morales，仍然必須克服控球以及專注力的問題，不過只要他進入狀況，打者(尤其是左打者)通常對他沒轍。 Who’s in the middle: The middle innings for the Rockies are still somewhat up for grabs, but three holdovers from last September likely enter spring training with the jobs to lose. Right-hander Matt Daley had an up-and-down rookie season at age 27, but all told, there were more ups than downs and he finished with a 4.24 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 51 innings. Right-hander Matt Belisle was awful in his first go-round with the Rockies in 2009 was designated for assignment and eventually sent to Triple-A in late May with his ERA sitting at 8.31. In Colorado Springs, Belisle was used to finish games, a role no one had yet tried him in, and he thrived. He returned in September as one the Rockies most reliable relievers and was re-signed to a one-year contract. Left-hander Randy Flores started 2009 with nine consecutive scoreless appearances, but by June had fallen apart and followed Belisle to Colorado Springs. Flores returned in September and was successful facing almost exclusively left-handed batters. He returns with a one-year deal and will be challenged for the second left-handed spot in the bullpen by Matt Reynolds, a 20th-round pick in the 2007 draft who split time between Single-A Modesto and Double-A Tulsa in 2009. 中段RP：還不太確定。 Daley： 27歲的新人球季起起伏伏，最後的成績單還可以接受 Belisle：09年剛開始表現很糟糕，放到3A去調整後九月上來變成穩定的中繼。季後續約 Flores：季中被打爆後同樣下放3A，9月拉上來後對左打很有心得。將與Matt Reynolds 競爭牛棚剩下的一席左投位置。 Who’s in the picture: The Rockies continue to shop for bargains to bolster the bullpen, and in addition to Reynolds, the Rockies already have a large collection of veterans and prospects fighting for the last spot in the bullpen or trying to push out one of the holdovers. Corpas will be returning from elbow surgery that cost him the second half of last season. If he returns to some semblance of his 2007 form and becomes a factor in the middle and late innings, the Rockies bullpen will be one of the best in the league. Another big boost could come in mid-summer when Taylor Buchhoz, the Rockies best reliever in 2008, returns after undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing all of 2009. Former Rockie Justin Speier, Tim Redding, Chris Gissell, Jimmy Gobble and Juan Rincon are signed to minor-league contracts and will compete for the final bullpen spot and provide insurance in case of injury. Several of the Rockies best rotation prospects — Jhoulys Chacin, Esmil Rogers, Samuel Deduno and Greg Smith — could find themselves in bullpen roles at some point this season, but all are likely to begin the season at Triple-A barring an injury in the starting rotation. 誰來接班：洛磯仍在市場上尋找可能的RP。不過自家人的競爭就夠激烈了。 Corpas、Buchholz、Speier、Redding、Gissell、Gobble都要來搶最後一席牛棚位置。一旦有人受傷，這些投手也將隨時補上。還有一些新秀躍躍欲試：Jhoulys Chacin, Esmil Rogers, Samuel Deduno and Greg Smith 不過新秀開季就在25人的機率不大。 Who’s in the future: Two potential future closers could crack the Rockies bullpen at some point in 2010. Left-hander Rex Brothers, a supplemental first-round pick in 2009, will begin the season at either Modesto or Tulsa and could reach the majors by the end of the summer. Casey Weathers, the Rockies’ first-round pick in 2008, is returning from Tommy John surgery and should be a factor in Denver this season if he’s fully healthy. Shane Lindsay will resume what seems an interminable quest to reach the Rockies, or least Triple-A. If he can stay healthy, the Rockies will probably take a look at him this season. Al Alburquerque, Edgmer Escalona, Craig Baker and Andrew Johnston will all pitch at Double-A or higher this season and could be a fit sooner or later. 未來希望：可能的守護神 1)09年三明治選秀Rex Brothers，今年9月可望上來觀光。 2)08年第一輪Casey Weathers，錯過整個09球季，希望他保持健康 Shane Lindsay表現不俗的話有機會上來。 Al Alburquerque, Edgmer Escalona, Craig Baker Andrew Johnsto都是有機會的人選 Discuss: The stability in the Rockies starting rotation and the team’s success in developing a strong group of prospects has presented the team with a fortunate dilemma: how to find room for all these great young arms. With some, the decision is easy. Christian Friedrich is destined for the starting rotation and still needs seasoning. With Greg Reynolds, the Rockies are just hoping for a healthy season. But with Chacin, Rogers, Deduno and Chaz Roe so close, are the Rockies better off letting them log regular innings in the Sox rotation or moving them into the major-league bullpen where they can learn on the job and help the Rockies now? 討論：落磯面臨到甜蜜的煩惱-- 如何為年輕肉體找尋空間，讓他們能夠盡情發揮? 對某些新秀來說，這決定很容易。譬如Friedrich，他還需要時間磨練。或者是 Greg Reynolds，只要他能健康球隊就謝天謝地了。但是如果說到Chacin、Rogers、Deduno 跟Roe，究竟該把他們留在小聯盟的輪值裡，還是該拉上來牛棚，讓他們提供及時的幫助呢? 球隊該傷腦筋了~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.179.129 ※ 編輯: YGJHSU 來自: 220.134.179.129 (02/19 13:32)
