Grading The Deal: McLouth To Atlanta http://0rz.tw/OiErL 3rd June, 2009 - 8:29 pm Brian Reynolds/RealGM - The Atlanta Braves made some noise around the major leagues on Wednesday when they dealt three of their highly regarded prospects for All-Star outfielder Nate McLouth. In return, Atlanta sent right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton, left-handed pitcher Jeff Locke and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez to Pittsburgh. 星期三 勇士队做了一个交易 把三位农场新秀送去海盗以换得McLouth 包裹里面包含 Charlie Morton, left-handed pitcher Jeff Locke and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez It’s been a busy couple of days for Braves General Manager Frank Wren. On Tuesday, Wren sent struggling center fielder Jordan Schafer to Triple-A Gwinnett. Then, he released future Hall-of-Famer and fan-favorite, Tom Glavine, just hours before trading for McLouth. “We’re excited,” Wren said, “He really fills some voids that we have and have had since Furcal left. He’s a gold-glove center fielder. He gives us power, speed, and defense. It’s a guy that we really needed.” 几天以来 勇士的GM相当忙碌 星期二时 把持续低潮的Schafer送回3A 接着把未来的HOFer给释出 几小时後 又把McLouth给交易过来 Wren说 很高兴能找到自从Furcal离队时所欠缺的元素 McLouth 不但是金手套得主 也是跑打守三拍子的选手 So far this season, McLouth is batting .256 with nine home runs and a.470 slugging percentage. He will replace Schafer in center and will provide a much needed boost of power for a team that ranks 26th in baseball in home runs. McLouth has four more home runs than any player in the Braves lineup. He will likely bat leadoff for Bobby Cox’s club. The knock on the trade for Atlanta is that they have too many left-handed bats. It was thought that a right-handed power bat would fit much better into the lineup than another lefty. Atlanta already has Kelly Johnson, Brian McCann, Casey Kotchman, and Garret Anderson who are everyday players that bat from the left side of the plate. 本季 McLouth目前的表现是9轰 2成56的打击率 以及 .470的长打率 他将会取代Shafer镇守中外野 并提供勇士队最需要的长打 勇士在全联盟的HR总数只排在第26名 而McLouth的HR数量 还比勇士打最多全垒打的球员还多四只 (9:5 McCann Escobar Chipper并列五只) 目前的推测是可能打一棒 开路先锋的角色 这交易比较可惜的地方就是勇士原本就很偏左打的打线 现在会更偏 Kelly Johnson, Brian McCann, Casey Kotchman, and Garret Anderson 都是左打 McLouth is signed for the next four years and Wren is comfortable with the price tag that he comes with. He will make $2 million this year, $4.5 million next year, $6.5 million in 2011 and is a team option for $10 million in 2012. He is 27. “He is signed at a rate that makes a lot of sense for the club,” Wren said. McLouth的合约一直到2012年 所以包含今年 还有三季多的时间才会变成FA 另外 他当初所签约的价格(3Y/15.75M) 也是勇士会想交易他来的因素 Atlanta does give away some good talent in the deal. Gorkys Hernandez is a nice prospect who plays center field. A lot of teams are high on Hernandez’s potential. However, with Schafer and now McLouth, the Braves had the depth to let him go. “When you get a player of [McLouth’s] caliber, it hurts a little bit, because you have to give up good players, but we have the depth in the organization [to make a deal].” 这宗交易之中 勇士也换走了几位天份不错的球员 Gorkys Hernandez 是个不错的中外野新秀 很多队都很看好他未来的潜力 不过也因为Schafer 和 McLouth 勇士只好把他给交易 Wren说 要得到像McLouth的球员 一定会有所付出 不过球队的外野深度还够 所以完成了这次交易 Morton started 15 games for Atlanta last year and went 4-8 with a 6.15 ERA. He could find a spot in Pittsburgh’s rotation relatively soon. Locke is a prospect that is at least a couple years away from the big leagues. All and all, it’s a good move for Atlanta. It shows their fans that they are ready to compete for the division title this year. It is a move that is kind of similar to when they traded for Mark Teixeira a couple years ago. Morton 去年为勇士缴出了4-8的成绩 交易至海盗後 大约不久就可以进入先发轮值 Locke 可能还要几年才有能力上大联盟 总结来说 勇士做了一比好交易 也让球迷知道说 球队今年还有想要拿分区冠军的决心 这交易也和几年前7/31大限前交易来Tex的形式很像 Grade for the Braves: B+ ----------------------------------------------------------- When the Braves nearly obtained Jason Bay before last year's non-waiver Trade Deadline, Huntington accepted a deal that included both Morton and Locke. Pirates ownership later blocked the deal because they were looking for Major League-ready talent. 官网新闻也说 去年同样的包裹也几乎换来 Jason Bay 不过後来还是没了 因为海盗想要大联盟即战力... 可惜慢了一年 --
