Second base: Wong provides ability, stability 二垒手: 小王已经证明他的能耐 The Cardinals have made a habit of converting players from other positions and making them second basemen in recent years (Skip Schumaker, Matt Carpenter), but they should have their second baseman for years to come in Kolten Wong. The former No. 1 draft pick proved himself a double-figures power and speed man last year when he had 12 homers and 20 steals while playing only about two-thirds of a season in the majors because (a) he had a sore shoulder and (b) he spent three weeks in the minors. He is one of the few speed threats the Cardinals have, and they expect him to hit better than the .249 he put up as a rookie. 红鸟这几年已经习惯找其他防守位置的球员(像是车神与小木匠)，来顶替二垒防守 ，但未来几年应该不用再换人了。小王，这位前选秀第一轮指名球员，已经证明他 是个兼具速度与双位数长打能力的球员(去年12发全垒打、20次盗垒)，即使他因为 右肩养伤与下放小联盟三个礼拜，去年只在大联盟出赛了三分之二个球季。小王是 红雀球员少见真正在垒包上具有威胁能力的球员，球队也预期他未来的打击率能比 菜鸟球季的0.249来的更好。 Ultimately, the Cardinals might want Wong to be their leadoff man, but he will hit down in the order again at the start of the season. He should be a .280-plus hitter at some point if he can rein in a swing that sometimes is too power-conscious. 长期而言，红雀队可能希望把小王摆在第一棒，但今年球季他应该还是会从後段 棒次出发。如果他能修正某些时候过於用力拉打的的习惯，他的打击率有机会提 高到0.280以上。 Defensively, Wong can make all the plays, shows good range and stands in well on the double play pivot with a strong enough arm. Some of his errors come when he gets careless or too flamboyant making a play, but experience and maturity should help in that regard. 防守上小王可以应付各类情况，也展现了良好的防守范围与双杀守备站位，臂力 也相当强劲。虽然可能因为粗心或急着展现美技而出现防守失误，但经验与成熟 度的提升应可修正这方面的缺点。 Successful in the postseason, Wong brings more confidence to the table than he had at almost any point last season. 藉着2014年成功的季後赛表现(p.s.别忘了2013的再见牵制XD)，小王应能比去年 更有信心，在新球季带来好的表现。 ================================================= Plan B at second base: Kozma or a call-up 二垒手B计画: Kozma或者小联盟叫人 There is no real veteran presence behind Wong. Pete Kozma, a natural shortstop, started at second base once in the postseason and can play acceptably there on defense. Minor leaguers Greg Garcia, Dean Anna and Ty Kelly all have second base on their résumés and all have had success offensively at the minor-league level. A future prospect is Jacob Wilson, who hit .298 at Class A Palm Beach and then .305 at Class AA Springfield before suffering a knee injury. Wilson rebounded to play in the Arizona Fall League and showed extra-base pop and versatility this spring in big-league camp. He is on track sometime this season to be playing at Class AAA Memphis, near his hometown of Bartlett, Tenn. 红雀体系里目前没有资深的二垒手替补，所以Pete Kozma，一位正统的游击手， 在去年的季後赛也曾客串二垒防守，守起来也可以。小联盟体系内Greg Garcia、 Dean Anna与Ty Kelly都曾守过二垒手，也有不错的打击表现。一个长远的计画 可能是Jacob Wilson，他在1A打击率0.298，2A打得更好0.305，但因膝伤被中断 。Wilson在亚利桑那秋季联盟里展现了长打能力，在今年的春训也展现出多样才 华，预期他在今年球季中可以升上3A Memphis Redbird，那里离他的老家不远。 In an emergency, the Cardinals could go back to Matt Carpenter, who made the All-Star team in 2013 at second base before moving to third base. In recent history, the Cardinals have had almost as much turnover at second base as they have had at shortstop. Counting Bo Hart, they have had more than a half dozen starting second basemen since Fernando Vina's career with them ended in 2003. Wong, who will be starting the season at second base for the Cardinals for the second year in a row, might stop that trend. 在紧急状况下，红雀队可以找小木匠重操旧业，他在2013年以二垒手的身分入选 明星赛。回顾近几年历史，红雀队的二垒手人选变动，几乎跟游击手人选变动一 样多。自从2003年的Fernando Vina(我没记错曾经旅台?)後，红雀队至少换了半 打的先发二垒手(包含Bo Hart)。小王在今年应该可以顺利终止这个不太好的趋势。 -- 出国就是为了回国 入团就是为了脱团 (烟~) --
