11/28/2005 1:34 PM ET Mailbag: Run, Lance, run! Beat reporter Alyson Footer answers fans' emails From:http://0rz.net/290Rx =================================== I love Lance Berkman, but I watched a bunch of hustle in the White Sox bunch and a lot of hustle among the Astros, but not Lance. I think he could be a Hall of Famer and a great asset to Houston if only he wouldn't lollygag about. What's going on? -- Ed D., Katy, Texas Ed D., Katy---我喜欢肥仔﹙ Lance Berkman ﹚，可是世界大赛时我看到 白袜队与太空人队的球员们在场上拼劲十足，而肥仔却不会 这样。 假如他打球时不要懒洋洋的，我想他可以进入名人堂，也会 是休士顿最棒的球员吧。 他到底是怎麽了？ I've always been quite critical of Lance's baserunning skills, and I use the word "skills" loosely. But I have to defend the lovable slugger this time. His knee was nowhere near full strength and that affected his running, both on the basepaths and in the outfield. I expect him to be much improved next year. Some of you may have noticed that when he was trying to beat out a grounder, he would run way, way past first base, almost to the point where he was halfway down the right-field line. That was also an effect from his knee surgery -- he couldn't stop as quickly as he does at full strength. Watching him run through first reminded me of Forrest Gump -- run, Lance, run! 我总是苛责肥仔的跑垒技能，我随便地使用"技能"这个字眼。但这一次， 我必须为这个令人喜爱的强打者辩解。 肥仔的膝盖没办法恢复完全的力量，这也影响到他跑垒与在外野守备时的移动， 我期待明年时，他膝盖的状况可以大大改进。 有一些球迷会注意到，当肥仔试着要击败滚地球以上垒时，他会用滑的方式滑 超过一垒垒包，几乎是到了右外野的边线上。这也是因为他膝盖手术後的影响 ---他不能用他完全的力量即时停止。 看他跑上一垒，会让我想起电影"阿甘正传"---跑啊！肥仔！跑啊！ I heard about the possibility that the Astros can pursue Adam Dunn of the Cincinnati Reds. Is there any truth to this? I think Adam Dunn can give the offense a big boost. What is your opinion on Adam Dunn coming to Houston? -- Samuel R., Houston Samuel R.---我有听说太空人队可以获得红人队 Adam Dunn 的可能，这消息有 真实性吗？我想 Adam Dunn 可以给我们强大火力支援。 你对於 Adam Dunn 来休士顿有什麽看法？ We went through this at the trading deadline last year. It was assumed Dunn would be dealt, and the Astros were mentioned as possible suitors because (a) they desperately needed offensive help, and (b) Dunn is from the Houston area. 我们来仔细检讨一下去年交易截止时的事情。现在假如 Dunn 可以被交易，太空人队也 同样提出一些可能的请愿: (a) 他们真的需要攻击火力支援 (b) Dunn是休士顿人。 It is my understanding that the Reds would consider dealing one of their four outfielders, and Dunn's inevitable salary increase may tempt the club to trade him. But if they're asking for what they asked for in return for Dunn as the trade deadline loomed last year, the Astros may be better suited to just say no. 据我了解，红人队考虑将他们四个外野手的其中一名交易出去，而薪资必会增加 的 Dunn 会使得球团要将他交易出去。但假如又像去年一样，当交易截止日逼近 ，红人队要求将 Dunn 交易出，太空人队必须要给予一些回报。 那太空人队拒绝会比较好。 With all the talk about Adam Everett's lack of offensive production, has there been any consideration of Eric Bruntlett replacing or challenging Adam for the shortstop position next year? He has speed, is very good defensively, has experience at the shortstop position and has shown signs of having a better bat than Adam, even clutch some times. I know he has never played a full season like Everett, so who knows what his full-season production would be, but is there consideration? -- Vince V., Houston -- Vince V.---看到所有关於 Adam Everett 缺乏打击能力的谈论，球队有无 任何考虑明年让 Eric Bruntlett 取代或挑战 Adam 先发游击 手的位置吗？ 他有速度，守备很好，也有守游击的经验，也展现比 Adam 较好的打击能力，甚至也较能将队友送回本垒得分。 我知道他不像 Everett一样，从未打满整个球季，所以谁知道 他打满整个球季会有怎样的成绩呢。 还是有任何其他考虑及想法吗？ The Astros view Bruntlett as a solid bench player, but he could see an expanded role in '06. He won't be a starter, but he likely will receive a lot more playing time than he did in '05. Expect him to receive starts at short, second and in the outfield when the starters need days off. He certainly proved he can deliver in clutch situations. 太空人队视 Bruntlett 为优秀的板凳替补球员，在06年他可以扮演更多角色。 他不会先发上场，但他可以比05年有更多上场时间。当主力球员休息未上场， 他就可以上场守游击、二垒、外野。 他也确实证明当队友在垒包上时，他会有打点进帐。 Why didn't the Astros throwback this season? It would have been really nice to see the 'Stros come out in the 60s era uniform or, better yet, the old Colt uniform. -- Shane W., Houston Shane W.---今年球季太空人队为什麽不穿复古的球衣了？看到太空人队穿60年代 的柯氏手枪队球衣感觉会很棒。 I'm guessing the players would beg to differ. By my calculations, dating back to 1999, every time they wear a throwback uniform, they lose -- badly. I remember a slaughtering at the hands of the Rangers a couple of years ago while they wore the rainbow jerseys. 我猜想球员们的要求会不同。根据我统计出来的结果，将时间回到1999年，每一次 他们穿复古的球衣，他们就惨烈输球。我还记得两年前那场他们穿着彩虹衫被游骑 兵队屠杀的比赛。 After the throwback games, the players are instructed to take the jerseys off and hand them to a marketing rep for an onfield contest where fans win the jerseys. It's my understanding that the players not only gladly hand over the jerseys, but also request that they never see them again. 穿着复古球衣的比赛後，球员们会被要求脱下球衣并用手拿着，然後那件球衣出售给 场上赢得竞标的球迷。 据我所知，球员们不只会很高兴地将球衣拿在手上，也会要求未来不要再见到这球衣了。 Orleans, and he can definitely hit the ball. I would think they could find somewhere for his bat. -- David P., Metairie, La. David P.--- Royce Huffman 能符合 太空人队的未来打算吗？我有个机会在新纽奥良 看他打球，无疑地，他能打好。我想他们可以因为他的打击而给他个守备 位置发挥。 Huffman recently had elbow surgery, and he is a Minor League free agent. The Astros are interested in re-signing him. You are right, he can definitely hit the ball, and the Astros love that about him. But he seems to be a good offensive player with no position. He can play first and third and a little second, but last year's experiment to convert him into a catcher didn't work out. Huffman 最近动了肘部手术，而他也是小联盟的自由球员。太空人队对跟他续约很有兴 趣。你说的没错，无疑地，他能打好球。但他是个攻击能力强、却没有固定守备位置 的球员。 他可以守一垒、三垒、和一点点的二垒，不过去年让他转换担任捕手的经验却没什麽 功效。 Huffman makes consistent contact, and the club believes his power will come. In that respect, he has a chance. Huffman 有列入接触，而球团也相信他未来的能力，在这个观点上，他会有机会的。 How far along is Hunter Pence? I have heard good things about him, but I can't seem to find too much about him. -- Andrew H., Pearland Andrew H.--- Hunter Pence 再来会升到哪个层级去？我听到了一些关於他的好消息， 但我似乎找不到很多关於他的事。 Pence will start next season at either Class A Salem or Double-A Corpus. He will come to Spring Training with a chance to make the Corpus team. 明年球季 Pence 不是从 1A 的 Salem 队开始，就是从 2A 的 Corpus队。他会有机会 和 Corpus 一起参加春训。 And now two emails that don't need answers (except a thank you for reminding us what's important as we welcome the holiday season): 接下来是两封不需要解答的 emails ﹙除了要谢谢你提醒我们，当我们在欢迎假期 时，什麽是最重要的。﹚ Hurricane Rita severely damaged our home and we cannot move back there. But following the Astros to the World Series was a wonderful way for me and my sons to forget for a moment about our problems and cheer on our heroes. My sons met Roy Oswalt in Beaumont and shook his hand. They will never forget that. Thanks Astros. -- Walter J., Port Neches Walter J.---飓风 Rita 严重毁坏我们的家园，也使得我们不能回家。但接下来 进入世界大赛的太空人队给了我很棒的感觉，我的儿子们也暂且忘掉 我们面临的问题，一起为我们的英雄欢呼加油。 我儿子还在 Beaumont 见到 Roy Oswalt，并和他握手。他们永生难忘。 谢谢太空人队！ I am a soldier in the Texas Army National Guard currently stationed in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. My fellow soldiers and myself tried to keep up with the Astros as much as we could this season and during the playoffs. We are all truly proud of the way this team conducted themselves on the diamond this year. Their never-quit attitude and their willingness to play through injuries, fatigue and pain are the same virtues we as soldiers strive to fulfill everyday. I would like thank this year's team and management for their efforts. Some championships are won on a baseball diamond, and some are won in hearts and minds. I will never forget this year I've spent in Iraq away from my family and friends. I will also never forget the year the Houston Astros never gave up. This year will always remain in my heart, not for the pain of defeat, but rather a burning pride of a team that would not quit. You are all champions in my mind. Thank you for all of the memories. -- Mitch C., Lufkin Mitch C.---我是德州国民兵的军人，目前驻紮在伊拉克 Al Anbar 省。在 今年球季与季後赛我和我的同袍还是尽可能试着继续关心太空人队。我 们对於今年这个球队在场上所表现的赶到无比骄傲。 他们永不放弃、带伤上场、克服疲惫与疼痛的行为和我们军人每一天努 力尽自己责任的意思是相同的。 我想要谢谢球队与管理领导今年的努力。有一些冠军是在棒球场上赢得的， 而有一些是赢到了心坎里去。我不会忘记今年我离开亲友到伊拉克去。 也不会忘记这一年那永不放弃的休士顿太空人队。 今年发生的一切会长存在我的心中，不只是克服痛苦，还有一个永不放弃 的球队燃烧的骄傲。你们全都是我心中的冠军。谢谢你们给我的回忆。 ================================ 恩,翻很烂,跟我说 翻错了,跟我说 -- 读书苦．读书累 读书还要缴学费 不如混个黑社会 有吃有喝有地位 还有妹妹陪你睡 --
