Quite easily, the Braves were the best team in baseball to not reach the postseason in 2009. They had good balance on the mound (3.57 ERA) and at the plate (fifth in the NL in runs). Atlanta was 17 games over .500 for the second half of the season until they rattled off six consecutive losses to frustratingly close 2009. Based strictly on their Pythagorean record, the Braves were a 91-71 team and that was without Tim Hudson for most of the season and a definite transition season offensively. 勇士队是去年没进去季後赛中最好的一支球队，他们的投手(ERA3.75)与打击(得分在国联 排第五)都有着极佳的表现。 2009 Opsera Finish: 3rd What Happened In The Winter 冬天有啥新鲜事呢? With the exception of the Javier Vazquez for Melky Cabrera trade, Frank Wren made a series of moves where Atlanta aged themselves. Billy Wagner, Troy Glaus, Takashi Saito and Eric Hinske were all signed to affordable one-year deals, avoiding the big two free agent left fielders who each could have bolstered their feeble power categories. 除了用J-Vaz换来牛奶弟外，Wren搞了一些老人来，都是还算能接受的一年约，而没有傻 傻的去追逐FA市场的两只大型左外野手，把自己的薪资搞爆。 The Braves weren't expecting Rafael Soriano to accept arbitration and with Wagner already signed, they had to make a payroll trade by sending him to Tampa Bay. His departure, along with Mike Gonzalez, makes their bullpen a whole lot older. 勇士队并没有期待Rafael Soriano会接受仲裁，而签下了Wagner，导致勇士 必须把Soriano换去坦帕湾来降低薪资的压力，而Soriano跟M-Gon的离去， 导致牛棚的年纪比去年老上许多。 Atlanta had excess starting pitching following the new deal for Tim Hudson and dealing away Vazquez after a career season was a wise sell high move. They couldn't move Derek Lowe for any type of value in return and the difference between the two in 2010 shouldn't be nearly as big as it was in 2009. Cabrera helps keep right field warm until Jason Heyward is ready for the show, which doesn't seem like it will be long. I also like the upside of Arodys Vizcaino as a live young arm now in the system. 与哈神签下了新合约，并且在高点卖出J-Vaz是个聪明的举动。反正我们的六号换不回任 何有价值的东西，而且六号跟Vaz在2010年表现的差距应该不会像2009年那样大。牛奶弟 会在黑娃准备好之前先把右外野的位置顶下来，帮他暖暖座位，怎麽看牛奶弟也不会在这 个位置待太久。另外得到Arodys Vizcaino这个年轻的肉体还满令人高兴的。 Braves Offensive Preview Beyond Brian McCann behind the plate, the Braves have a lineup of old guys and question marks. McCann still hasn't reached his prime, but he's a lifetime .853 OPS hitter who will eclipse the 100 homer mark this season. The Braves are incredibly fortunate to get his type of offensive production from the catcher position. 如果打线上没有小麦肯，那麽打线将会是又老问题又多。小麦肯还没达到他的顶点，但他 是一个生涯OPS.853的打者，而且这个球季将会出现他的生涯百轰。勇士队能在捕手这个 位置得到这麽威的火力支援真是爽翻了。 Chipper Jones appeared in more games (143) than he had in any season since 2003 (153), but his OPS dropped from 1.044 in 2008 to .818. His splits show some signs of concern, with a .772 OPS from the left side of the plate and .747 and .645 marks in August and September to close what had been a productive season up until that point. There are only a small handful of seasons on record for a 38-year-old to have an OPS over .900, but Chipper seems more than capable of staying solidly in the .800s for another two seasons. 去年是老大在2003年後出场数最多的一年(143场)但他的ops从2008年的1.044掉到去年的 .818。老大有一些迹象值得我们去注意，他在左打时有.772的ops，但在八九月却分别打 出了.747跟.645的ops来做为结束，低於本季的ops平均。只有少数38岁的打者能交出 ops.900以上的成绩，但老大要再打出个两季ops.800+的成绩，应该是没有问题。 I think Nate McLouth is generally overrated, but he should get more comfortable in Atlanta after spending his first spring with the club. Martin Prado, one the other hand, is one of baseball's more underrated hitters even if he is still a significant work in progress defensively. 我觉得McLouth被高估了，但在经历过亚特兰大的第一次春训後，他应该会对这个地方比较 适应一点。 另外一方面，M30则是一个被低估的打者。 Matt Diaz is another underrated hitter, who has a career OPS of .921 against lefties. Assuming Heyward becomes the kind of ballplayer he is expected to develop into, a mini-platoon between Diaz, McLouth and Cabrera could eventually be in order. I think Heyward can provide an injection of youth and energy not unlike Evan Longoria during Tampa Bay's 2008 World Series run. Diaz是另一个被低估的打者，生涯对左打有ops.921。假定在黑娃长大之前，应该会跟 DiaZ,McLouth跟奶弟有一小段时间的platoon，来决定最後的名单会是谁。 我认为黑娃能为球队带来年轻的活力， 像龙哥在2008WS系列赛为魔鬼鱼带来的那样(这里翻的有点不确定?) Yunel Escobar had an .812 OPS, but I expect that number to either drop or stay about the same in 2010. He was significantly helped out by blistering months of May and July. Escobar is an above average hitting shortstop, but his inability to improve against lefties is disconcerting. 爱丝扣八去年有.812的ops，但我认为2010应该会下修或是维持差不多的成绩。他在五六 月的火热表现给球队很大的帮助。他是一个平均打击能力以上的游击手，但他对左投却有 明显的无力。 Finally, speaking of disconcerting, we get to Glaus and his prospects at first base. The position has felt like a very fast revolving door ever since the end of Fred McGriff's tenure, with names like Andres Galarraga, Julio Franco, Mark Teixeira, Casey Kotchman, Adam LaRoche coming into and out of the Peach State. Atlanta likes Freddie Freeman at the position long term and Glaus can fill in this season, but he missed almost the entire 2009 season with a shoulder injury. I can also foresee a situation where they need first base for Chipper this season and someone like Mark DeRosa, albeit more expensive, would have provided much more value. To his credit, Glaus is still just 33 and hasn't had an OPS season under .800 since his second season in the MLB. 最後，谈到令人窘迫得部分，我们得到了格老子来守一垒。这个位置在Fred McGriff离队 後，就不停的换人守守看，像Andres Galarraga, Julio Franco, Mark Teixeira, Casey Kotchman, Adam LaRoche都站过这个位置。勇士队会希望Freeman能接下这个位置 ，并待得久一点，但这之前。格老子可以帮忙在这一季站一下这里，但他因为肩膀的手术 错过了几乎整个2009。我可以预视这个球季他们会需要CJ来站一垒，以及像迪罗沙这种尽 管比较贵但是可以提供更多价值的球员。就格老子来说，他也才33岁，而且在他第二年 MLB生涯开始就没有ops低於.800过。 Braves Pitching Preview The Braves should have one of the strongest and most balanced rotations in baseball with Hudson and Lowe being supported by Jair Jurrjens, Tommy Hanson and Kenshin Kawakami. Jurrjens and Hanson both have the stuff to be front of the rotation guys. Jurrjens has had some shoulder issues, but he's beginning to look right in Spring Training and even though his ERA probably won't be 2.60 again, it should be well below 3.50. 勇士的先发轮值很威。JJJ跟Hanson都有一二号的实力。虽然JJJ的肩膀好像有点问题，但 问题不大，虽然不太可能复制去年的ERA2.60，但低於3.50应该不成问题。 Atlanta's bullpen looks significantly different with the departures of Soriano and Gonzalez and the additions of Wagner and Saito. Wagner had an excellent 22 strikeouts in 13.2 innings with Boston and even though those are unsustainable numbers, he should be every bit as good as he's always been when healthy. Beyond Saito are the reliable Peter Moylan and young lefty specialist Eric O'Flaherty. Even though the bullpen won't be as strikeout heavy as it was with Soriano and Gonzalez in 2009, it should be an area of surprising strength. 在黑柱跟麦杠离队及Wagner和Saito的加入後，勇士的牛棚跟去年看起来有显着的不同。 Wagner去年在BOSTON的13.2局中丢出了22K，真是棒呆了。即使这样的成绩没办法维持住 ，他应该能维持他健康时一样的本事。齐藤，摸以蓝跟Eric O'Flaherty都是很棒的牛棚 选手。即便在黑柱跟麦杠离队後，牛棚们不太可能像去年一样狂丢老K，但应该还是会有 令人惊艳的强力表现。 What Are Their 2010 Chances? It is difficult to be overly confident about this creaky of a team, but I like Braves to definitely win more than 86.5 games with a real chance at either dethroning Philadelphia or at least sneaking their way into the playoffs via the Wild Card. 要对勇士队的摇摇欲坠有过度的信心还满困难的，但他们应该还是有机会赢超过86.5场的比赛以 上，然後赢得外卡或是击败费城人进入季後赛。 There are a lot of fragile pieces that need to stay healthy, but the Braves truly are loaded with a great balance of talent in what appears to be Bobby Cox's final season as manager of the Braves. I always found myself passionately rooting against those 90s Braves because I was still bitter about 1993 with the Giants and I always preferred those Yankees teams they lost to in 96 and 99, as well as the Twins, Jays and Indians. But over the past couple of seasons when the Braves had really good teams that are just barely out of contention, I found myself completely pulling for the old skipper and his aging superstar. 队上很多脆弱的人需要保持健康，在Cox爷爷的最後一年，勇士队的确有着相当平衡的天 赋。我总是能找到理由来反对九零年代的勇士队，因为我仍然对1993年的巨人队感到痛苦 不堪，而且我一向比较喜欢96跟99年击败他们的洋基队，还有双城,蓝鸟跟印地安人队。 但经过了过去几个球季後，当勇士拥有一些几乎没有竞争力的好队伍时，我发现我自己被 这个老领导完全的吸引住了。(这地方翻得怪怪的，祈求指正) I'm a believer that everything will stay in place for one final run.
