09/25/2006 6:20 PM ET Mailbag: Scott just hot or is he for real? Beat reporter Alyson Footer answers Astros fans' questions By Alyson Footer / MLB.com 英文出处 / http://myurl.com.tw/om0e I didn't expect Luke Scott to hit .380 over the course of an entire season, but is this guy for real or is this just a hot streak? I'm also wondering what the Astros might have planned for him next year. -- Nick L., San Diego 问︰我不认为 Luke Scott整季能打出 .380的水准，不过这小 子现在的表现是真实力还只是近况火热而已？我也想知道明年太 空人怎样定位他？ I do think he's for real, and I'm sure he is definitely in the mix for next year. Will he be guaranteed a starting outfield spot before Spring Training even starts? Maybe not, but considering how hot he's been down the stretch, it'll be his job to lose when he gets to Kissimmee, Fla., in February. That doesn't mean the Astros won't be shopping for outfielders. I expect them to be active in the trade and free agent fronts. 答︰我认为这是他的实力，而且我也确信他明年会是名单内的 球员。不过说在明天春训前，他就能稳拿先发外野手的位置吗 ？也许不会，而是要看他二月到佛州看他的状况才能决定是否 会失去位置。 这也不表是太空人就不去签外野手了。我希望他们在交易与自 由球员市场中，动作要积极点。 That said, if Scott wanted to give the Astros something to think about this winter, he's certainly doing everything right in terms of ending the season on a high note. 也就是说，如果 Scott想要太空人在今年冬天考虑未来重用他 的话，他的表现确实要留给人家深刻的印象。 Do you think it is possible that Roger Clemens might return to the Astros as a relief pitcher? -- Nicky M., Houston 问︰你觉得明年 Clemens有没有可能回太空人当後援投手？ No chance. Clemens is one of the greatest starting pitchers to ever have played this game. He has nothing more to prove, and he would have absolutely no reason to move to a bullpen role just for the sake of hanging on. If he feels he still can be effective as a starter, and if he still has the desire to keep playing, I think he'll be back next year. There's no reason for him to pitch out of the bullpen. 答︰绝对不可能的。 Clemens是赛场上最伟大的投手之一。他 毋须在证明什麽，也没理由只为了要继续投球而转当後援投手 。如果他认为自己还有实力出任先发，而且他内心也渴望继续 投球的话，我认为他明年还会回到场上。没由来让他待在牛棚 里呀。 Will we be getting a new manager in the offseason? I sure hope so. -- Joyce C., Sugar Land 问︰我们季後能换个总教练吗？我希望球团这麽做。 It's not going to happen. Phil Garner's signed through 2007, and owner Drayton McLane doesn't like to pay people not to work. Besides, Garner deserves to keep his job. Plenty of things that went wrong this year, but not everything was his fault. Managers are paid very well to look smart when things go well and look like morons when things fall apart. At the end of the day, the players need to assume the brunt of the responsibility. But it's way easier to blame the manager. 答︰这个动作不会发生。 Phil Garner合约签到2007年，而且 McLane老板不喜欢叫人走路了，还要持续支付薪水。除此之外 ， Garner的带兵能力，应当保住这个饭碗的。今年球队很多 方面的成绩出了问题，然而不尽然全都他的错。 当球队战绩好时，总教练就让人家觉得英明睿智，可当球队战 绩烂的时後，总教练就被人当作白痴。球季结束，球员们实在 需要承担自己表现不佳的责任。不过怪罪总教练不好总是比较 简单。 What are the chances that the Astros will sign Carlos Lee during the offseason to a big deal? -- Ryan V., Livingston 问︰太空人在季後和 Carlos Lee签下大约的机会多大？ I like their chances. I'm hearing Lee is very interested in the Astros and obviously Houston is looking for at least one impact bat. But who knows, some other team may decide to way, way overpay him and outbid the Astros. It's too early to tell how those negotiations are going to progress. 答︰我喜欢他们目前所掌有的机会。听说 Lee对加入太空人非 常有兴趣，而且很显然的太空人正要找个举足轻重的棒子。不 过谁知道会有一些球队决定开天价烧钱干掉太空人哩。现在谈 这些签约磋商的进展还太早。 I know that Scott has only been in the Majors for a few months, but is he under consideration for National League Rookie of the Year? -- Katie P., Mt. Kisco, N.Y. 问︰我知道 Scott今年在大联盟才不过几个月的时间，不过他 有被考虑在国联新人王的票选名单吗？ He'll receive consideration, but he won't win it. He's had a heck of a run, but he's only been doing it for a little over two months. Yes, I know Ryan Howard only played half the season last year and won the award, but Scott's got more competition this year. The list of worthy Rookie of the Year candidates is long in the NL. To name a few, Russell Martin, Ryan Zimmerman, Dan Uggla, Josh Johnson, Prince Fielder come to mind. 答︰他会获得考虑，但他不会当选。他会有相当程度的支持， 不过他只打了两个多月而已。没有错，费城人的仙猴去年打了 半季就赢得新人王，可 Scott今年要竞争的非常激烈。新人王 候选人的名单落落长。提想到的几个人吧︰ 躲人的 Russell Martin、国际牌的 Ryan Zimmerman、马林鱼 苗 Dan Uggla与 Josh Johnson、酿酒小开 Prince Fielder。 Now that it seems that Luis Gonzalez will not be returning to the Diamondbacks, is it a possibility that the Astros might try to go after him? After all, he did start his career with the Astros and Jeff Bagwell as a rookie in '91. -- David R., Hebbronville 问︰既然 Luis Gonzalez不会留在响尾蛇队，太空人有没有 可能去签下他？毕竟他和老巴在1991年於太空人展开生涯。 Bingo, you hit the nail on the head. He started his career many, many, many years ago, which means he's many, many, many years older now. In fact, he'll be 40 next year. I seriously doubt the Astros would want to pursue him, especially since they'll have younger, stronger options to look into. Gonzo said he wants a starting job, and there wouldn't be one for him in Houston. 答︰ Bingo！你真是一针见血。他很久很久以前就开始职业， 生涯，所以就代表他现在的年纪很老了。实际上他明年就届不 惑之年。我强烈不相信太空人会去签他，尤其是太空人还有一 些年轻又有水准的球员可供考量。 Gonzo表示自己想要有先发 的工作，他这个位置绝不是在休士顿。 Will Craig Biggio be back in '07? We were robbed of seeing Nolan Ryan's 5,000th strikeout and we won't get to see Bagwell reach 500 homers. So we need to be comforted knowing that we will get to see Biggio's 3,000th hit. It would be a crime not to enjoy that historic moment with him. -- Matt L., Clute 问︰老帅哥07年还会在太空人队吗？ 我们失去了见证 Nolan Ryan 5000K的机会，也不能看到老巴的 500轰了。所以我们需要见到 老帅哥的3000安打做慰藉。没有享受到他历史性的时刻是一大憾 事。 The Astros have been saying the same thing all season: they are committed to re-signing Biggio in 2007. They are committed to Biggio recording his 3,000th hit in an Astros uniform. This was never in doubt, and I would expect a contract announcement soon after the season is over. 答︰同样的事太空人已经说好几遍了︰他们保证2007年一定会 跟老帅哥续约。他们也保证要让老帅哥以太空人身分打出3000 安的里程碑。这从来未被质疑过，而且我预见在本季结束後， 双方的续约会旋即对外发布。 When are the Astros going to cut down to a four-man rotation? Seems like the fifth man always starts a losing streak. -- Andrew B., Scarborough, Maine 问︰太空人何时要把五人先发投手缩减到四人？五人轮值总是 会连败。 They'll go back to a four-man rotation when pitchers' arms stop being worth millions of dollars. As long as teams are paying someone $8-15 million to pitch, you can bet they're not going to do anything to put any extra wear and tear on them if it's not necessary. Pitchers throwing on three days of rest and serving as their own closers is a thing of the past. So are reasonable salaries for good arms. 答︰投手的手臂不再价值连城的时候，就会重回四人轮值。球 队要付 8~15M给强投，你就可以断定，绝非必要，否则不能让 他们的手臂有一丁点儿的损伤。投一休三并撑完全场已是过眼 云烟了。同样的，好投手拿合理薪水。 What doe Scott write down in the book after each at bat? -- Penny M., Deer Park 问︰每次打击後， Scott在簿子上记录了什麽东西？ He keeps a journal, where he writes notes to himself regarding pitchers he just faced and that pitcher's tendencies. He'll note what a pitcher tries to get him out with, he'll write what he did at the plate, and how he was feeling at the plate, what he should and shouldn't do. He forms a plan, so he has an idea of what he wants to do against a particular pitcher when he next faces them. 他在记个人打击日志，里面写了他每次上场面对的投手以及这 些投手的投球习性。他会纪录投手要解决他的每个球路，他个 人的因应策略以及当时手感，该不该出手。他养成个人方法， 所以下次面对特别的投手时，就清楚自己该怎麽做。 Not a bad idea for a young player still learning the league. Heck, the way he's been swinging lately, maybe all of the hitters should start keeping journals. 对一个不断在学习的年轻球员来说，这习惯不赖。嘿，看到他 最近的挥击，或许所有打者都该开始记录打击日志了。 Adam Everett is one of the best shortstops in the National League, but I do not understand why he has never won a Gold Glove. What does it take, perfection? -- Harrel F., Round Rock 问︰Adam Everett是国联守备顶尖的游击手之一。但我无法 理解为何他从未得到金手套奖。那是怎麽判定的，要滴水不 漏吗？ No, it just takes time. Managers and coaches vote on Gold Gloves and it would be an understatement to say it's an inexact science. A player usually needs to build a reputation before he's going to be recognized by those who watch him play, and Everett is still in the early stages of his career. Sometimes it takes just getting the word out on a player to grab a voter's attention. Everett most definitely deserves the Gold Glove, because quite simply, he's the best defensive shortstop in the league. 答︰不需要，只不过要历经时间的考验。总教练和教练负责 票选金手套奖，简单来说，这是种不严谨的认定。球员在让 人观察认同前，通常需要建立自己的名声，而 Everett目前 在他生涯的早期阶段。 有时候也要某名球员让投票者青睐有加。Everett有资格得到 到金手套奖，理由很简单，他是联盟守备最好的游击手。 Unfortunately, sometimes voters will pick a player who has a history of being a good fielder, whether he's having a Gold Glove-caliber year or not. Even worse, some voters pick a player who's having a good year at the plate, which is ridiculous. Hopefully, Everett will get his due props soon. 不幸的是，一些投票人票选球员会看他过往是个守备不错的 的野手，有否得过金手套来判定。更糟糕的，有些投票人很 荒谬的会根据球员在打击区上的表现。希望 Everett能尽速 得到他该拿的奖。 Am I the only person in Houston who has no idea why Clemens is called the Rocket? I've even Googled it, to no avail. So why is he called the Rocket? -- Becky M., Houston 问︰我是休士顿唯一不知道老克火箭人绰号由来的球迷吗？ 我已经求助孤狗大神了，却不灵验。所以为什麽他要叫火箭 人呀？ Boston pitcher Bruce Hurst gave Clemens that nickname back in 1986, after Clemens struck out a Major League record 20 batters in a game against the Mariners. 答︰回到1986年(4/29)老克单场K了20个水兵创记录後，红袜 投手 Bruce Hurst为他取了这个浑名。 I have realized the late second-half problem with the Astros. They aren't going shaggy this year. The facial hair helped them to the World Series last year. What's the deal? -- Chris W., Pflugerville 问︰我了解下半季末太空人的问题了。他们今年没有满脸落腮 胡。去年蓄胡就帮助他们打进世界大赛。今年要安排做什麽？ On the contrary, Chris. Quite a few beards have popped up in the Astros clubhouse lately -- Russ Springer, Dan Wheeler, Eric Bruntlett, Dave Borkowski, just to name a few. Chad Qualls has one, too, although it's a bit less imposing as some of the others. According to Springer, they decided to grow the beards on a whim, just for some team unity and to maybe see if it would change the team's luck. With the way the way things have been shaping up down the stretch, I would imagine more players may be putting the razors away for a while. 答︰Chris，相对的，最近太空人球团已出现球员留一脸胡子了 。像 Springer、Wheeler、Bruntlett、Borkowski就是我说的 这些人，Qualls也有，虽然对其他人难以接受。根据 Springer 表示，他们留胡子只是突发奇想，只是为了团队的一致性，也许 能因而改变球队的运气。随着他们最近的战情的最後延烧，可想 而知更多球员暂时不刮胡子了。 [按︰说真的，翻这一段的时候会想到发愿跳碧潭的古爷版主 ，接着脑海浮现版上一张张跳碧潭古爷与泳圈浮在碧潭的相片。] I'm probably the only one who doesn't know this, but can you explain when a team wins, how the "high five" procession works. It seems like it has to do with the infield players staying put, and everyone else filing by. I know there is a "formula," but I don't understand it. -- Carolyn K., Houston 问︰我可能是唯一不知道这个缘由的人，你可以跟我解释当球 队赢球时，"击掌" 行列的运作。似乎是内野手停在原地而其他 人排队行进。我知道这是一种惯例，可我实在不懂。 You aren't the only one who's in the dark on this topic. I didn't know how that process works, either. So, I checked with a few players. Apparently, there's really no official method. The outfielders gather for their own high five, then they run in and two lines form -- those coming from the dugout and those coming from the field. They sort of file in and high five each other and then walk off. Nothing too exciting. It looks so textbook that you would think they have some sort of pecking order, but apparently that's not the case. 答︰你不是惟一不理解这个问题的人。我也不知道该过程的运 作。所以我去询问一些球员。很清楚的，众人没有正式的答案 。外野手会先一起互相击掌，然後从休息室出来与场上的球员 成两排。他们排好队互相击掌，接着走回休息室。没有什麽多 兴奋的动作。看来有点制式的行为，以致於你不会去注意队伍 的排列，但显然也没有什麽。 Alyson Footer is a reporter for MLB.com.
