[新聞] Julio Teheran Trade Target
The Kansas City Royals window of success is still open. It might not be open
too much longer. Now is the time to make another push towards the playoffs
and a possible run back to the World Series.
球隊需要一點幫助才能衝擊季後賽甚至WS。
The Royals need help if the team wants to get back to the pinnacle of the
baseball world for the third straight year. Kansas City needs starting
pitching, better outfield players and depth at second base.
需要先發投手、二壘跟右外野。
The Kansas City Royals can address some of these matters through trades. I
think Julio Teheran is the guy to target for a few reasons. The Kansas City
Royals have connections with the Atlanta Braves. Manager Ned Yost and General
Manager Dayton Moore came to Kansas City from the Braves organization. The
two organizations have made trades before.
Last season, the Braves traded Jonny Gomes to the Royals for minor league
prospect, Luis Valenzuela.
The Royals have a few former Braves on the current team. Mike Minor and Kris
Medlen pitched for the Braves a few seasons ago. The connection the two teams
have my play a big role if Kansas City has a chance to trade for Teheran at a
decent price.
跟勇士隊這幾年合作愉快,很多球員教練甚至連GM都待過亞特蘭大。
Julio Teheran has great numbers for Atlanta this season. Through 74 innings,
he’s got a 2.92 earned run average (ERA). He’s struck out 69 batters while
walking 22 in 12 games pitched. The only number that could be trouble is home
runs; he’s allowed ten so far this year.
Oddly enough, three home runs came during his last start against the Los
Angeles Dodgers. All three were solo home runs.
Teheran is an inning eater as well. The last two seasons he has pitched more
than 200 innings each season. The Royals need another innings eater to save
the back end of the bullpen. Kansas City also needs starters who can pitch
past the sixth innings to get to the back end of the bullpen more
consistently.
Six of the 12 starts, Teheran has pitched seven or more innings. If the
Royals had that kind of start from a starter, they could rest one of the big
three, Hochevar, Herrera or Davis.
Teheran今年先發的局數都滿長的,對欠缺先發輪值的皇家會有幫助。
也能讓牛棚有更多喘息機會。
The Royals would have to part with some players. The good news is Kansas City
has some depth. The outfield is somewhat overcrowded. Kansas City also has
infield depth. Unfortunately, the Royals don’t have pitching depth due to
the Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist trades last season.
Kansas City has dealt with a few injuries. Cheslor Cuthbert got hit by an
errant ball throw from second baseman, Jonathan Schoop on Monday night.
Cuthbert suffered a bruised right elbow on the play. Thankfully, Cuthbert is
okay.
He played Tuesday night without much of a problem. The Royals once again
avoided another long term injury. This could be important for a possible
trade.
Hunter Dozier has come on strong this season. The third baseman’s slash line
is .282/.301/.482 for the Omaha Storm Chasers. He has five home runs and
seven double. He might be a piece the Royals could use, but they probably
will keep him due to the injuries at third base.
Hunter Dozier或許會是能拿上來交易的選項,他今年在3A打得不錯。
但也可能因為Moose的受傷,球團不會交易他。
If the Royals trade an outfielder or an infielder, the team won’t be in too
much trouble. Whit Merrifield can play outfield and infield giving the team
flexibility.
An outfielder the Royals could trade is Jorge Bonifacio. He’s slashing
.310/.376/.563 for the Omaha Storm Chasers. Unfortunately, his home vs. away
splits are staggering. He’s got a .359/.413/.695 at home through 32 games
and a .232/.319/.354 on the road.
Boni也是個選項,但他在主客場成績差異頗大。
All of this home runs (10) came at home this season. Maybe the overall
numbers will surprise a team, and they will take a risk on him.
A pitcher the Royals could trade is Kyle Zimmer. The guy can not stay
healthy. He’s got great stuff, but he can’t use it since his arms always
fatigued. Last year he pitched only 64 innings for Lexington and Northwest
Arkansas. If the Royals are willing to include him in a trade for Teheran,
the Braves might have more interest.
Zimmer豐富的傷痛史會讓想要他的球團卻步嗎?
Teheran uses four pitches: fastball, slider, curveball and a change-up,
according to FanGraphs. His fastball speed has declined 2.8 MPH from 93 to
90.2 MPH. He takes off 19 MPH on the curveball (71.1) and 8.0 MPH on the
change-up (82.3). With this kind of arsenal of pitches, there’s no wonder
why he’s got 69 strikeouts so far this year.
Teheran會丟四種球種。
It’s time for the Royals to push for a difference making starting pitcher.
They will have to give up some young talent to acquire a guy like Julio
Teheran, but they should be able to make a deal with friendly Atlanta. Now
the Royals should go get an ace and compete for the rest of the season.
皇家必須盡快找到一個可靠的先發投手,尤其是跟勇士隊關係這麼好,應該快點交易。
