Inbox: Will the Giants sign a star power hitter? Beat reporter Chris Haft answers fans' questions It's a lean time of the year for Giants news, but I have to ask a couple of questions. What are your thoughts on the Giants going after Prince Fielder? I think he is a better fit than Albert Pujols because Fielder is younger and will enjoy trying to hit balls into McCovey Cove. Not to mention that he will balance the infield between him and Pablo Sandoval. Will the Giants make a real attempt to re-sign Carlos Beltran? If they do, where does that leave Brandon Belt? I think Belt is best suited to be in the outfield, not at first base. Finally, Jonathan Sanchez is rumored to be traded. What could we expect in return, value-wise? -- Jason P., El Paso, Texas 對於追求Fielder你們是怎麼認為呢?至少我認為他比Pujols年輕不少(XD...)，他很樂意將球轟進麥考菲，他是有這個能力，不過別跟我說因為他能平衡一、三壘的角度傾斜。巨人真的試圖要簽回Beltran?如果球隊真的做了，那有哪個位置可以留給Belt 以我的想法他在外野會比在一壘的價值更高。 J.Sanchez傳聞會被交易出去，能換到什麼有價值的東西回來嗎? I wholeheartedly support the idea of pursuing Fielder. He's the difference- maker that the Giants need. But the reality is that payroll constraints will prevent them from bidding seriously for any of the free agents likely to receive nine-figure contracts -- Fielder, Pujols and perhaps shortstop Jose Reyes. Add CC Sabathia to that list, assuming he opts out of his Yankees contract. He already has been linked to the Giants in at least one published rumor, though it's delusional to think that they'll even make him an offer when they must concern themselves with their eight potential free agents and 13 salary arbitration-eligible players, including Tim Lincecum. 我完全支持追Fielder，他是非常不一樣的球員，但要追求大物自由球員，球隊的薪資空間卻不是那麼好談，球隊不僅要提出合約還要關切著球隊8位可能變自由球員的球員與13位符合薪資仲裁的球員，包括Lincecum I believe that the Giants will make a genuine effort to re-sign Beltran. But, given his extensive injury history, I wouldn't offer very much for very long. If Beltran were to return, that would force Belt to earn a spot in the lineup during Spring Training by outplaying either Nate Schierholtz in the outfield or Aubrey Huff (and possibly Brett Pill) at first base. That's unless the Giants do something unusual and try Schierholtz in center field, which would create a corner-outfield opening. Right now, the best answer is the convenient fallback: "These things have a way of working themselves out." 對於簽回Beltran是個不錯的決定，但考量他的傷勢歷史，可不能給他又大又冗長合約不過他要是回歸，那Belt將要在春訓打敗Schierholtz或是Huff與Pill才有位置可以獲得除非巨人做了一些常人難以理解的動作或是將Schierholtz移往中外野，那Belt將有角落外野手可以守備，不過最好的方式還是將成績打出來。 As for Sanchez, he'll remain a Giant, if you'll recall general manager Brian Sabean's remarks the day after the season ended. Sabean could change his mind if he receives an overwhelming offer for Sanchez, but I doubt that will happen. If Grady Sizemore is cut loose by the Indians, if he is sound after surgery and if he would take a one-year contract in the area of $6 million, would he in your estimation be a good risk for the Giants and a good fit in the clubhouse?-- Mike C., Kelseyville, Calif. 如果Sizemore與印地安人分道了，在手術後也復原良好並想追求一份在$6 million 左右的合約，他該算是個可承擔的風險，就巨人這些年的狀況來說。 Definitely. As rough as 2011 was for Sizemore, his .706 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) eclipsed Andres Torres' .643. Moreover, under a one-year deal, Sizemore essentially would be playing for another contract, so he'd be driven to match the standards he maintained before encountering knee problems. His average output from 2005-08 was .281 with 27 home runs, 81 RBIs, 29 stolen bases and a .868 OPS. Heck, the Giants probably would settle for his 2009 performance (.248, 18 homers, 64 RBIs, .788 OPS). 2011年對Sizemore很痛苦不過他.706的OPS還是擊倒了Torres.643的OPS，藉由過往的成績我想Sizemore應該不會只要一年的合約 Hensley Meulens was re-hired as hitting coach? I don't get it. I don't necessarily agree that it's always the manager's fault if the team doesn't win, but usually it will result in the manager being replaced. Why, after the Giants' miserable hitting performance all year, wouldn't the hitting coach be replaced? Is the whole team not listening? Who's talking about hitting approaches for a given pitcher? When they get into the sixth or seventh inning, who's reminding the hitters to take a strike to wear down a good starter and get him out of the game? As a team, the Giants don't show situational awareness at the plate. If that's not the hitting coach, who is it? -- Greg C., Belton, Texas Hensley Meulens又被重新僱用會打擊教練(Bonds：我也想)，我不完全同意球隊沒有獲勝就把責任全歸到manager身上，不過manager常因為這種原因被取代掉，這到底是為什麼，看看巨人整年打擊的慘澹演出，竟沒有打擊教練被替代掉，難道球團都沒看到或聽到嗎?難道沒有說過要去提振投手的支援分數嗎?當來到6、7局時，是誰提醒著打擊者備穩攻擊狀態去削擊對方投手讓他下場，不過巨人這一隻球隊卻沒在打擊區表現出足夠的打擊意識與能力，如果這問題困因不置放在打擊教練身上那該放誰身上？ I don't have much of an answer for you, other than to relate what I saw this season. Meulens and the hitters worked as diligently as they possibly could. "Relentless" was the term that manager Bruce Bochy used to describe Meulens' approach. If anything, the Giants might have worked too hard. Bochy noted that the Giants improved overall toward the end of the season when they scrapped the hitters' meetings they held before each series. There's something to be said for keeping things simple. Also, remember that Meulens is the same guy who supervised the hitters when they shared the National League-lead with 80 homers after last year's All-Star break, which helped the Giants win the division and, ultimately, everything else. That, combined with the plethora of injuries, earned Meulens the benefit of the doubt. Next year will be different, one way or another. 不要太責怪Meulens，每個系列賽前都舉行著打擊會議在爭論該如何變得更好，其實在去年明星賽後他更帶領全隊打出國家聯盟最多的80支全壘打，不要為今年的表現而對他有太多苛責，傷兵真的整體打擊成績影響不少，等著明年吧，不一樣的打擊將會到來 What about trading Brian Wilson and Sanchez for an everyday position player, maybe a Jacoby Ellsbury? This will strengthen the Giants' offense and help free $8 million-$10 million to devote to the rest of the pitching staff. I love Wilson, but the bullpen is rock-solid and one of the Giants' best prospects (Heath Hembree) is a closer. As for the fifth starter, you can try Barry Zito and sign a Jon Garland-like veteran to fill the role for a year, hoping Eric Surkamp grows enough at Triple-A. Any thoughts? -- Joe V., Burbank, Calif. 交易Wilson或是Sanchez獲取打擊成員?像是Ellsbury之類的球員，不僅能增火力還能空出$8 million到$10 million的空間去留住剩下的投手群，雖然Wilson真的很令人喜愛，但我們要得不是信仰而是勝利，他雖然離去不過後援投手群還是非常強勢，農場中更有優質的終結投手Heath Hembree(Casilla：Me too)，至於第5號先發，好吧就給Zito或是簽個像Jon Garland之類能填補一定效率的投手，也期待著 Surkamp再3A大放異彩吧。 In theory, this plan might work. However, most teams probably would be wary of Wilson for several reasons: the barking elbow that limited him to two appearances after Aug. 15; his rising walk and declining strikeout ratios, which is a highly ominous combination; and the same $8.5 million salary for 2012 that the Giants would be trying to shed. Wilson will be arbitration-eligible again after next season, which is bound to make him even more pricey if he remains effective. Wilson不僅連兩次受到傷病影響，這一次的壓制能力也滑落不少，這可能是各個球隊所擔心的 Moreover, with Javier Lopez and Guillermo Mota eligible for free agency, Santiago Casilla and Ramon Ramirez eligible for arbitration (making them vulnerable to being non-tendered) and a decision looming regarding Jeremy Affeldt's $5 million contract option for 2012, the quality of the Giants' bullpen is no longer a given. 後援投手很強沒錯，不過現在球隊裡可有一堆後援投手要搞 On the other hand, as Wilson's television advertisements indicate, whichever team he plays for will have a budding actor on its pitching staff! 可能沒啥地方可以去，其他隊也有這樣的球員等著上來 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.235.42.110
