11/14/2005 1:20 PM ET Mailbag: Lining up the offseason shuffle Beat writer Alyson Footer answers Astros fans' question Ｆｒｏｍ：http://0rz.net/2a0RK ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ Before we get started, let me take a moment to congratulate Astros Senior VP of Operations Rob Matwick for his recent induction into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame. He said in his acceptance speech, "No one comes to the ballpark to watch Rob Matwick work," but I can say with certainty that he plays a huge role in making the whole Astros experience enjoyable for fans. Congrats, Rob. 在开始之前，让我先恭喜太空人队的资深播报员Rob Matwick在最近进入德州棒球 名人堂．他在他的得奖感言说了这句话："没有人能到球场看到Rob Matwick在工作" 但我可以很确切的说，在给予球迷很多有趣的经验上,他扮演了很重要的角色,恭喜了 ,Rob. ========================== What are the Astros going to do with Chris Burke and Brad Lidge? Will Lidge ever become a starting pitcher? Danielle S., Houston Danielle S.问: 未来太空人队给Chris Burke和Brad Lidge什麽样的定位?Lidge是否会当先发投手? The Astros have some decisions to make, regarding Burke. Drayton McLane has made it clear he wants Craig Biggio to reach 3,000 hits in an Astros uniform, and Biggio is projected to reach that plateau in April or May of 2007. That leaves Burke without the option of playing his natural position, second base. Burke did a terrific job in left field this year, especially considering he had never played there before. But the corner outfield positions are usually occupied by players with better power numbers, and Burke is not going to be a home run hitter. He's a top-of-the-order, gap hitter who will hit more doubles than homers. The Astros could deal him, but I don't think they'll do anything hasty. Tim Purpura loves Burke, and it's going to take a mind-blowing offer for him to let go of the former No. 1 draft pick. Regarding Lidge, the Astros aren't going to do anything, and they shouldn't. Lidge is their closer. I don't think the team has any interest in converting him into a starter. He has a nasty slider, which helped him become one of the top closers in the league. Lidge had a rough postseason, and he has the entire winter to think about it, to get past it, and to get ready for Spring Training. The Astros aren't worried about Lidge's confidence, and I'm guessing Lidge isn't worried about it, either. He'll be fine. 答: 关於Burke的将来,球队已有一些决定要做了,Drayton McLane很显然的要BGO穿着太空 人队的制服达到3000安的纪录,而BGO也计画在2007年的四月或五月登上这个高峰,所以 这就让Burke没办法有自主权担任他最原先的守备位置---二垒 今年Burke守左外野还不错,特别是想到他以前从未守过那个位置,但是外野这个角落 通常是给较有打击能力的球员来守的,而Burke不是全垒打型的打者,他是打二垒安打 比全垒打还多的打者,他算是这类型球员的佼佼者. 球队可能会把Burke交易出去,但是我认为不会草率做出决定,Tim Purpura欣赏Burke, 而且对他来说,他会反对让这个当初第一轮选进的球员离开 关於Lidge,球队没有要对他做什麽处理,也不应该对他做什麽,Lidge是他们的终结者 而我不相信球队有兴趣将他转为先发投手,他投的滑球令打者非常讨厌,这也使他成为 联盟中顶尖的终结者之一 Lidge在季後,成绩差强人意,然而他有一整个冬天来好好思考这个问题,克服 ,并为来年的春训准备,球队也不担心对於Lidge的自信心问题,而我猜想,Lidge也 不会担心的,他会表现很好的 ===================== I know that everyone likes to talk about how great Adam Everett is defensively, but I feel that the Astros really need a player with a solid bat. Everett had a lot of crucial at-bats with runners in scoring position throughout the World Series (and even the playoffs) and did nothing. Those could have been critical runs. Are the Astros even considering going after a player like Rafael Furcal, who has a strong glove and is also more reliable with a bat? -- James M. James M.问: 我知道大家喜欢谈论Adam Everett的守备有多棒,但是我觉得太空人队需要一个 有打击能力的球员,在世界大赛时(甚至是在季後赛)Everett有很多重要得点圈的 打击机会,但他却没有建树,这些都是很重要的得分.太空人队是不是该考虑签下 像Rafael Furcal这种,有守备,又更能依赖他打击的选手?? I'm assuming the overwhelming number of e-mails I've received about trading Everett stem from the fact that Furcal is a free agent. We can all forget about Furcal coming to Houston. He's too expensive and his agent is seeking a five- or six-year deal. The Astros aren't going to do that, especially since Furcal has some character issues that need to be considered. Yes, Everett had a lot of crucial at-bats with runners on base in the World Series. So did Biggio, Lance Berkman and Morgan Ensberg, as did Jason Lane and Brad Ausmus and Willy Taveras. In other words, everyone struggled, not just Everett. I can't imagine placing the blame on the Nos. 7-8 hitters for the team being an offensive flop in the World Series. Everett is here for defensive purposes, and he was terrific in '05. Like Lidge, judging a player on what he did in one week is dangerous. Ask the Mets. They threw $119 million at Carlos Beltran, largely based on what he did over a two-week span for the Astros in the 2004 postseason. Last I heard, the Mets were looking at trade possibilities involving Beltran. I guess they're unhappy that a player who hit .267 in '04 hit .266 in '05. I'm not one to make predictions, because I believe it's pretty much a waste of time. But let me go out on a limb for argument's sake. My prediction for 2006: Everett wins the Gold Glove, and Andy Pettitte wins the Cy Young. 答: 我现在就假装我收到了无以计数因为Furcal是自由球员,而想要交易出Everett的信件 吧.我们可以完全忘掉关於Furcal要来休士顿的事.他的价码太贵了,而且他的经纪人是要 寻求五年或六年的合约.太空人队不会这麽做的,尤其是还需要考虑到Furcal的品行问题 没错!世界大赛时, Everett有很多跑者在垒上的重要打席。而Biggio、Lance Berkman、 Morgan Ensberg、Jason Lane, Brad Ausmus ,Willy Taveras也都和他一样.换句话说,每 个人的状况都不好,不单只有Everett。我无法想像将球队在世界大赛的 进攻火力低落,归咎於一个七、八棒的打者。 Everett被期许他的守备,而他再2005年也表现优异。就像Lidge一样,评断一个球员不是只 依据他在一个礼拜里面的表现差强人意。你问问大都会队,他们丢了一亿一千九百万给 Carlos Beltran,就只是主要根据他在2004年季後赛短时间两周的表现。最近我听说大都 会队在寻求一个把Beltran交易出去的可能。我猜他们对於一个在04年打击率二成六七,05 年打击率二成六六的球员表现,很不满意。 我不是那种会做任何的预测的人,因为我觉得非常浪费时间。但为了这个争论的一部分,让 我先离开我的原则。 我对2006年的预测:Everett赢得金手套奖、Andy Pettitte赢得赛扬 奖。 ================ The Astros were unable to sign any quality free agents last year because the free agents signed with other teams while management waited and pursued Beltran. This year, I firmly believe management will not aggressively pursue the free agent market because they will have to wait for a decision by Roger Clemens to return. By the time Clemens gives management his decision, the top free agents will have signed with other teams. Is management going to make the same fatal mistake for two consecutive years? Clemens, with all due respect, is a huge liability because of his age. It's plain and simple, the Astros have great young talent, but they need another veteran bat in the lineup. My question: do you think management will request for Clemens to give them a speedy response which will enable management to sign free agents? -- Keith F. Keith F.问: 去年太空人队不能签下好的自由球员,是因为这些球员在和其他球队签约时, 经理正在等待与追求Beltran。今年我坚决相信经理不会积极地在自由球员市场下手,因为 他们在等待Roger Clemens回来的决定。当Clemens给经理决定的时候,一些顶尖的自由球 员也已经和其他球队签约了。请问经理还会连续两年犯同样的致命错误吗? 拥有充分敬重 的Clemens,年龄是对他不利的因素。单纯又简单,太空人队拥有一些很棒又有潜质的年轻 球员,但他们需要一些球队中有经验的打者。 我的问题就是:你想经理会要求Clemens尽快 给回应,以让他们能签下一些自由球员吗? The Astros are surely hoping Roger doesn't wait until January to decide, as he did last year. From what I am hearing, Roger hopes to have his decision within a couple of weeks. If he decides to return, it will help to know how much they're going to have to pay him and how much money will be left over to fill the rest of the roster. Without Clemens, the Astros have about $20 million to spend on 20 players. With Clemens, they're probably going to have to up the payroll. Either way, they need to know, sooner rather than later. I believe Clemens will announce something in December. 答: 太空人队当然希望Roger不要像他去年一样,等到一月份才做决定。从我听到的,Roger 也希望在数周内就有决定。假如他决定回来,会有助於知道他们要付他多少钱,还有球团剩 下多少钱要付给其他球员。 没有Clemens,太空人队有大约两千万美金要付给剩下的二十名球员,如果有Clemens,全队 总薪资可能会提高。不管是以上的哪一种情形,他们都必须尽快知道。我相信Clemens在十 二月,就会对外发表自己的决定。 ============= Am I missing something here that determines what constitutes "Rookie of the Year?" I'm looking at all of the stats of Willy Taveras vs. Ryan Howard. How can they possibly pick Howard over Taveras? I'm aware Howard had a great August/September and hit more home runs. But let's wait and see what he can do during a full season in the Major Leagues before we start giving him an award that obviously belongs to someone else. Your thoughts? -- Mark M., Austin Mark M.问: 我看了所有Willy Taveras vs. Ryan Howard的数据。我有遗漏了一些关於选 年度新人王的决定吗?他们怎麽可能选了Howard而不是Taveras?我知道Howard在八月、九 月份打了较多的全垒打。但是在我们给予他一个很明显是属於别人的奖项之前,让我们等 着来看他在大联盟整季会有什麽表现。 你的想法呢? I go back and forth with this issue. Willy was the only candidate who played the entire season on the Major League level, which should count for a lot. He also maintained a batting average around .300 for most of the year, another point in his favor. But I can't begrudge Howard for winning. I realize that he was with the Phillies for only half the season, but it's hard to argue against a guy who hit 22 homers and drove in 63 runs over 88 games. Howard stepped in for Jim Thome and kept the Phillies in contention. Taveras did a decent job at the top of the order because of his speed. He beat out grounders and reached on bunt singles, which became the focal point of his game. But his .324 on-base percentage wasn't impressive. He had only 20 extra-base hits all year. He'll have to improve on that, because as a leadoff man, he has to be able to move runners over. He also has to drive in runs here and there. That said, the most important thing to remember is that Willy had never played above Double-A before 2005. What he was able to accomplish, while literally learning on the job, is remarkable. 我反覆地思索这个问题。Willy是唯一一个在大联盟打了完整球季的候选人,这应该被大大 算入。一整年大部分他也维持打击率在三成左右,这也是赞同他的一项分数。 但是我不会嫉妒Howard赢得这份奖项。我知道他在费城人队只打了半个球季,但这很难否 定一个在88场出赛中,打了22支全垒打、63分打点的小伙子。Howard代替了Jim Thome的位 置,其表现让球队还一直拥有竞争力。 因为他的速度, Taveras在这个顶尖的层级里,表现还挺像样的。他击败滚地球让它变成内 野安打成为他在比赛中的焦点。但他三成二四的上垒率并不让人印象深刻。他一整年只有 二十支长打。身为前段棒次,他必须能将打者推进,这是他未来必须要增进的。他也必须要 将球打出去。 我觉得,最重要的事是要记得Taveras在2005年之前,从未打过2A以上的层级,他可以在这个 层级完成,实实在在的从这个工作完成,很非凡. ================== I truly believe Phil Garner was snubbed for NL Manager of the Year by the writers. From the standpoint of accomplishments, I think he clearly outshines Bobby Cox and Tony LaRussa. Regarding LaRussa, everyone expected his team to repeat as NL Central champions, and most of us expected him to win the pennant, as well. Scott Rolen notwithstanding, La Russa had a pretty healthy club all season, and they did exactly what they were expected, and are paid handsomely, to do. Regarding Cox, his accomplishments this season with his team are well-documented, but relative to Garner's, I still think they lag. Cox started the season with a much more experienced team than Garner, and although much has been said of them finishing the team with so many rookie and young contributors, they also never battled back from 15 games below .500. That kind of improvement doesn't just happen because guys finally get hot. It takes tremendous leadership from a manager and a coaching staff to orchestrate that kind of turnaround. I suppose you can make a weak argument for Garner placing second (and I stress weak), but third? Never. -- Chris C., Md. Chris C.问: 我真的相信Phil Garner被票选年度总教练的作家冷落了,从实行的观点来看,我 认为他明显的胜过Bobby Cox和Tony LaRussa. 说到LaRussa,每个人都预期他的球队再次赢得国联中区冠军,而大部分的我们也都预期 他会嬴得冠军旗.纵使Scott Rolen受伤,LaRussa整个球季还是拥有一只健康的球队 而他们也完全做到他们所盼望的,薪水也很可观. 提到Cox,他和他的球队完成这个球季是有证据的,但是与Garner相关的事实,我仍然相信 他们落後了.球季一开始,Cox球队的球员是比Garner的多了很多经验,虽然很多人说 最後Cox的球队有很多新人,但是他们从未克服过在低於五成的胜率中,从15场比赛爬起 这种进步不只是因为球员们到最後表现火热.这种转变是需要经理与教练优异的领导能力 我希望你能用个或许较不充分的论述来说Garner应该要票选为第二名, 不可能是第三... I have no problem with Cox winning it. He was faced with another roster overturn and potentially devastating injuries, and he had to break in 18 rookies. And he won the division. Again. Good points about La Russa. I, too, believe Garner should have finished second. He was faced with a far bigger challenge in '05 than he was in '04, when he took over after the All-Star break. Last year, he had a bunch of sluggers and Hall of Famers who got their act together late in the season, just in time. In '05, Garner had to manage a lineup that was in the bottom five in the league in nearly every offensive category, and in the bottom of the division on June 1. Even though Howard beat Taveras in rookie of the year voting and Cox and La Russa trumped Garner for Manager of the Year, I'm sure the winners would have gladly traded their award for a World Series appearance. In that respect, I doubt Taveras and Garner are losing any sleep over the voting results. 答: Cox赢得这个奖项,我毫无疑问.面对一个又一个球员的受伤,他使用18名新人打破 了纪录.却又再一次赢得分区冠军 你提出的关於La Russa的观点很好,我也是觉得Garner应该要第二名才对.他在2005年 面对的挑战远比他在2004年明星赛後接管球队所要面对的还要大.去年球季他拥有一些 强打者与一些表现迟早会进入名人堂的选手.在2005年,Garner必须驾驭一个在联盟几乎 各项攻击数据倒数五名的队伍,而且在6月1日时,还在其分区垫底. 虽然Howard在年度新人王奖项击败Taveras,Cox和LaRussa在年度总教练的奖项赢过 Garner,我确信这些赢家会很愿意把他们的奖项卖掉,来换取世界大赛的出赛. 在这个着眼点上,我不相信Taveras和Garner在投票的结果方面输掉了... =========== Taylor Buchholz has had his share of injury problems through out his first two years in the Astros organization and is now sparkling in the Arizona Fall League. Is he a realistic probability to become the Astros' fifth starter for next year, or will he need another year? -- Greg S. Bloomington, IN Greg S问: Taylor Buchholz在太空人队组织,前两年的时间有受伤的问题存在,而他现正於亚利桑纳 秋季联盟闪耀光芒.他有实质的可能成为明年的第五号先发投手吗? 或者说还需要再一年的时间呢? The Astros expect Buchholz to contend for a spot on the Major League roster during Spring Training, but his role is unclear. He could be a candidate for the fifth starter spot, but they're not opposed to weaning him in as a setup man, a la Chad Qualls. 答: 太空人队预计Buchholz为大联盟春训期间的一员,但他的角色还不清楚 他可能是第五号先发的候选人,但他们也不反对不让他只在球队胜利时才上场中继, 就像Chad Qualls的方式一样... ================= 恩...哪里要改善的 不好的 跟我说吧^^ ))))))))))) [[啧啧 翻到後来 有点头昏脑胀了]] -- 考试的时候，就想要做报告 做报告的时候，就希望考试．．． 　用手画地图时,就想学ｇｉｓ 　学ｇｉｓ时，又想用手画地图了．．． --
