I read somewhere that the Angels could have gotten him for nothing more than assuming the rest of his contract. That can't be true, right? --Jenny R., American Canyon, Calif. 绿帽有想到要用什麽方法去完成Piazza的交易吗? 我从某处得知猴子可能得到他,且不用花费什麽东西去执行他剩余的合约. 这不是真的,对吧? I don't have any idea how any talks about Piazza played out, but if the Angels really did have a chance to get him without giving up anything, they're nuts for not doing it. I have a hard time believing that rumor. 我没有任何的意见去谈论有关Piazza离去的消息, 但是假如猴子真的要去冒险得到他而不放弃任何东西, 那他们干嘛不做而去当个傻子. 我相信这篇消息是个谣言. Here's what I do know about some of the deadline dealing: The Yankees and A's definitely talked -- several times -- about a Dan Johnson deal that would have brought the A's some prospects, but in the end the Yankees decided to back off. Ditto the Dodgers in the Joe Blanton talks; those rumors were true. And finally, the A's tried but couldn't give away Bobby Kielty. That's pretty obvious now, though. 这里有一些我所得知的交易大限前所讨论的交易: 洋基与绿帽明确的谈论--非常多次的--有关於DJ交易案将给绿帽一些优质新秀, 但是洋基最後还是退缩了. 同上也与躲人谈论Blanton;这些谣言是否属实. 还有最後,绿帽试着帮Kielty找新东家,尽管他们表示的相当明显. ============================================================================== Why did Joe Kennedy fall out of favor so quickly? As a lefty with starting experience, I thought he had some trade value, but the A's lost him on waivers. Does that mean they were trying to trade him, but the Diamondbacks killed it by stepping in with the claim? --Frank D., Pleasanton, Calif. 为何Joe Kennedy失宠如此迅速??他有着丰富经验的先发左投, 我认为他有些交易的价值,但是绿帽把他摆在释出名单而失去了他. 他们为何不把他交易出去,而被蛇队拿走? I thought the A's would be able to deal Kennedy before the deadline, too. He didn't pitch well near the end of his time here, obviously, but I think a big part of his problem was his displeasure with being pulled from the rotation. He opened the season as the No. 5 starter and pitched well for the first couple of months, but after a series of bad outings he was sent to the bullpen when he was just four starts away from earning an extra $100,000 for making 20 starts. And he would have made another $100,000 had he made 25 starts. A happy worker is a good worker, so ... 我认为绿帽在交易大限前也是要将Kennedy交易出去. 很明显的,他在这边投球时,最终并没有拿出他最好的一面出来, 但是我认为他最大的问题是被踢出轮值表而不悦. 他开季被规画为第五号先发而且在最初的几个月投的不错, 但是当他得到四次先发机会而累积达到20次先发获得十万元奖金後, 一系列的先发越投越糟,不得已的情况被丢到牛棚. 而且他想得到另一个十万元必须累积有25次的先发. 一名快乐的上班族是一名好工人,所以....... I doubt if the D-Backs swooped in and killed a deal in place with another team, but that is a possibility. Remember, Arizona has to pick up what's left on the $2.4 million deal Kennedy signed in December, and he's a free agent at the end of the season, so the A's saved some money here. 我怀疑是否蛇队抓下他,是要毁了跟某队已经达成的交易有关,但这也是有可能的. 记住,蛇队必须付在去年12月Kennedy签下的240万元所剩余的薪水, 而且在球季末,他是自由球员,所以在这边绿帽省了一些钱. ============================================================================== Isn't it time the A's get rid of Eric Chavez and Bobby Crosby? They're always hurt, and they don't produce when they play. I know there aren't any stud third basemen in the upper levels of Oakland's farm system, and I like Donnie Murphy at short, but I don't love him. Is there anything the A's can do about these albatrosses with expensive multi-year deals? --Bob P., San Francisco, Calif. 为何绿帽不趁此时清掉Chavez和Crosby? 他们是绿帽火力之痛,当轮到他们打击时都打不出个什麽鸟来. 我知道在奥克兰高阶农场并没有可以提升等级的三垒手, 我喜欢Donnie Murphy但并不爱他. 绿帽有可能做出对长期有帮助的好交易吗? What do you think they were trying to get from the Dodgers for Blanton? It wasn't pitching. Check out the L.A. system. Some nice young left-side infielders down there. 你认为他们试着用Blanton跟躲人要人是为了什? 躲人并没有同意. 看看他们的农场吧.有着又好又年轻的三游球员. ============================================================================== Does Travis Buck have a shot at winning the American League Rookie of the Year award? And if not, do you think he's going to be a star? --Kenneth L., Laramie, Wyo. T.Buck可能会赢得美联的新人王吗?如果没得到,那你认为他将会是个明星吗? He'll have to go on a big-time tear in these final two months of the season to win the AL ROY. As of onw, he just hasn't played enough. Boston's Dustin Pedroia, for instance, has played in 20 more games, is hitting nearly .320 to Buck's .280-something, and has a better on-base percentage. And don't forget about Daisuke Matsuzaka. If he gets to 16 or 17 wins with a sub-4.00 ERA, it'd be hard for a lot of folks not to vote for him. 他必须在球季末的前两个月交出亮眼的成绩赢得美联新人王.但现在,他表现不够出色. 赤袜的Pedroia,举例来说,他近20场比赛的成绩,打击率在三成二附近, 对照一下Buck的打击率有时在二成八的表现,他必要要在上垒方面更加强. 而且不要忘了松阪.假如他拿到16或17胜,防御率在四以下, 一些人们很难不投票给他. Will Buck be a star? Way too early to tell. He certainly has the ability to be one, and I like his subtle swagger. But he has been hurt quite a bit already, so that should scare anyone familiar with Crosby's unfortunate career, and Buck has quite a bit of work to do on defense. But if he stays healthy, I think he'll be an above-average hitter for a long time. He's an ideal No. 2 guy. Buck将会是个明星?对他而言,太早了吧. 他一定有能力办到的,而且我喜欢他微妙的昂首阔步. 但是他有伤在身,因此应该会惊吓让所有人查觉是不是下一个Crosby, 而且Buck在防守上要学习该做的事. 但是假如他健康的话,我认为他是一名表现有平均水准以上的第二棒打者. ============================================================================== What, in your opinion, do the 2008 A's need to be title contenders? --Donald A., Orange, Calif. 对你而言,在2008年绿帽需要做些什麽补强? Two right-handed power hitters and a break from the injury gods. 两个强力的右手大炮跟连痛痛都怕你的神话! There's a nice base of talent on hand, and I have a feeling this is going to be another blockbuster winter for Billy Beane, but none of that will mean anything if the overall health of the team doesn't improve dramatically over the past few seasons. 这里有一个很好基础的人才, 并且我有一个感觉,豆子会在今年冬季会做一笔大买卖, 但是这将意味着什麽,如果整体健康,球队还没有大幅改善过去的几个赛季. -- 小鱼FAAB联盟冠军 2002年 Wumeow 2003年 Kagemoto 2004年 Lightsaber 2005年 Deathscythe 2006年 Ayukawayen --
