※ 引述《mysunny (人不要脸鬼也怕)》之铭言： Mailbag: Status report in wake of trades 12/17/2007 6:10 PM ET By Alyson Footer / MLB.com 原文出处 http://kuso.cc/32PO Bad luck has nothing to do with it. The Astros were not duped into anything when they made this trade. Tejada's name has been bandied about for two years, at least, with regard to baseball's investigation into performance-enhancing drugs. The Astros made a baseball decision. They've wanted Tejada for a long time, and they got him. I believe it's not a coincidence that the trade was consummated the day before Mitchell's report was released. It would have looked worse if they had traded for Tejada the next day. 运气不好跟这无关。太空人作这交易，没被诈骗。至少，在棒球界调查禁药名单中 ，Tejada服药的风声早已传闻两年。太空人队做的是棒球队的决定。他们已经肖想 Tejada很久了。我相信在米契尔报告公布前一天达成交易并非巧合。假如他们是隔 天交易来 Tejada，情况才惨呢。 这里的next day我觉得好像是指Mitchell's report公布当天耶 That said, the Astros received a closer in Valverde, who not only led the Majors in saves last year, but he has two years of arbitration-eligibility remaining. That's a plus. As we know, you can't get something without having to give up something, which is why the really good trades are usually the ones that sting on both sides. 不过，太空人得到 Valverde关门，他不只夺得大联盟去年最多救援，而且剩两年才 有仲裁资格。那是额外的收获。众所皆知，有舍才有得，这就是真正的好交易往往会 让两方球队受损伤的缘故。 这里的好交易我想应该是指各蒙其利、各取所需的交易 所以如果写球队受损伤的话感觉会有误会 也许写"深感惋惜"会不会比较贴切？ I'm curious on what you think the batting order should be, now that we have acquired Tejada. Rumors are that Tejada will hit third, and Hunter Pence will 色码打错罗XDDD drop down to sixth. Based on pure projections, I think that should be flip-flopped. Tejada is now either a two-hole hitter average-wise -- but we have that spot seemingly locked up with Kaz Matsui -- or a five- or six-hole power-wise. I know respect and fame probably have something to do with it, but it would seem to waste Hunter's speed. -- Robert P., Houston 问：既然我们获得 Tejada，我好奇你对打线安排有何看法。有传闻说 Tejada会打第三 棒，Pence会移到第六棒，基於计画，我认为应该反转过来。 Tejada现在是第二棒 的水准，可是这一棒似乎是小松井的位置了，或者让他打第五或第六棒。我知道 敬重与名声可能跟此安排有关系，但这样似乎太浪费 Hunter的速度。 这段原文中有提到"average-wise"与"power-wise" 所以译文中应该也要说是从哪方面来看(是第二棒或五六棒) I hate the idea of Pence hitting sixth. I believe it's a waste of tremendous speed and a potent bat. I'm projecting him as the No. 6 hitter right now, but in no way do I think that's where he'll spend the majority of the season. There's nothing that says you can't move him to No. 2 and drop Matsui. Yes, right now, Michael Bourn and Matsui are projected to be the No. 1 and 2 -- the "table-setters." I doubt that's how it will end up, however. 答：我不喜欢让 Pence打第六棒的做法。我相信这是浪费了一堆速度跟有效率的进攻。我 现在会想让他打第六棒，但不可能让他整季在这个位置。不排除让他打第二棒并将小 ^^^^ 应该是整季的大部份时间吧？ 松井棒次调後。当然，目前是预计让 Bourn与小松井打第一、二棒，当然，目前是预 定让 Bourn与小松井打第一、二棒，当开路先锋。 然而，我不认为会是长久之计。 我想我对长久之计的认知是"有效且稳定"，也就是"长时间无须更动" 我猜这里Ms.Footer应该是在偷酸小松井常进DL的问题 当然也还是有季中个人状态起伏的因素在吧 所以我想 翻成"一直都是这个打序"或直接照字面翻"球季节束时"会比较适当^^ How do you see the Astros rotation shaping up next year? Oswalt ... and then what? -- Dan R., Chicago 问：你认为太空人明年先发阵容如何？ 王牌…接下来呢？ Your guess is as good as mine. Brandon Backe, Woody Williams and Wandy Rodriguez are probably locks. You can at least consider Felipe Paulino and Chris Sampson as rotation candidates. I'm guessing Wade will add an inexpensive veteran starter to the mix as well. 答：你看法与我差不多。可能不出 Backe、Williams、Rodriguez等人。不过你至少可以 考虑 Paulino 与Sampson为先发可能人选。我猜 Wade会再补进个价码不贵的老经验 先发到阵中。 我猜这里Ms.Footer又在酸球队除了Oswalt之外的SP都不够格当轮值前两位 或者更直接一点就是没有好先发 从来信内容来看也看不出有什麽看法 Ms.Footer在回覆中也没能指出二三四五号的安排 只能说出有哪些可能的人可以拿来填这些空位 所以我想第一句应该是"我能猜到的就跟你一样多" In case you couldn't tell, I'm not oozing with optimism. 假使你无言，我也不抱任何希望了。 这里我还是觉得pH值好低啊XDDDD 总不能明目张胆地大肆批评自己球队吧所以只好写隐晦一点 I don't understand why we just let Adam Everett go without at least trying to get something for him! He is the best defensive shortstop in the league. You don't just throw him to the trash, which is what it seems the Astros did. -- Scott R., Rockville, Md. 问：我搞不懂为什麽让 Everett走人，不至少试着拿他换球员。他是联盟守备最精湛的游 击手。你不能将他扔到垃圾堆，似乎这是太空人会做的事。 ^^ 已经做了QQ They did try to trade him. The problem was that once the Astros obtained Tejada, it was pretty obvious they were going to non-tender Everett. Why would you give up something to get him if you can nab him as a free agent the next day? 答：太空人队有试着交易他。问题就在太空人签下了Tejada ，很显然他们会要 non-tender Everett。如果明天能签下身为自由球员的Everett，那为什麽还要放弃球 员来得到他呢？ 我个人感想是简单四个字：有价无市 XDDD I obviously have been an Everett advocate over the years, and I hated seeing him go. The Astros liked him, but Tejada was the one shortstop they preferred over Everett. They got their man. 这几年来我一直是 Everett的拥护者，而且我讨厌见他离开。太空人队喜欢他，不过 Tejada是唯一他们喜爱胜於 Everett的游击手。现在太空人得到他们的人了。 翻译辛苦了 --
