After a pair of 81-81 seasons, the Arizona Diamondbacks regressed to 64-98
in 2014, teaming injury woes with dreadful starting pitching and poor on-base
skills. Now with club president Tony La Russa, general manager Dave Stewart
and manager Chip Hale, the D-Backs embark on a new era. There's some roster
turnover, but not enough just yet for realistic optimism.
历经81-81的球季後,伤兵之痛、糟糕透的先发阵容外加惨烈的上垒能力,2014年的小蛇
退步到64-98。如今随球队高层Tony La Russa、总经理Dave Stewart及总教练Chip Hale
的走马上任,小蛇将开始一个崭新的时代。

Under-the-radar offseason transaction
Well, what they got back for Wade Miley wasn't really under the radar, I don't
like how Hellickson fits -- as I've noted before -- and Tomas certainly wasn't
under the radar. You know what kind of was, though? Hiring Chip Hale as the
manager. There wasn't much made of the hiring at the time because he's not a
big name nor does he have any MLB managerial experience.I love the fit, though.
Hale was the A's bench coach for the past three seasons -- all playoff seasons
with a low-payroll ballclub. He does have plenty of minor-league managerial
experience, including three seasons with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate.
He also was the bench coach during the D-Backs' 2007 playoff run. He also
played college baseball for the University of Arizona. It's a great match.
I believe Hale is going to prove a good big-league manager, which of course is
most important. He's known as a big work ethic guy with strong leadership
qualities and loads of energy. It's a perfect fit for a ballclub looking to
rebuild.
季後重要交易
换出Wade Miley得到的回报不怎麽样,Hellickson适合小蛇的点不知道在哪里,Tomas也
不怎麽受到关注。聘Chip Hale为总教练算不上什麽重大斩获,因为他不是大咖,也没有
任何大联盟执教经验,虽然我觉得蛮适合的。
Hale过去三季是运动家的板凳教练,而这低薪的球队在这三季都有打进季後赛。他确实
有丰富的小联盟执教经验,其中有三季带的是隶属小蛇的3A球队;小蛇打进季後赛的2007
年,他也是小蛇的板凳教练;大学时代的他更是效力於亚利桑那大学棒球队。真是绝配。
我相信Hale将会证明自己是名优秀的大联盟教头,这也是最重要的。他被认为是一个重是
工作伦理的人,拥有卓越的领导品质,并充满活力,这样的特质绝对适合来带领一支重建
中的球队。
Fantasy sleeper: Allen Webster, SP
Just over two years after acquiring him from the Dodgers in a nine-player
megadeal, the Red Sox gave up on Webster as a future part of their rotation,
and now he will get a chance to stick as a starter with the Diamondbacks.
Control has never been Webster's strong suit and his relationship with the
strike zone has been especially tenuous in his major league stints, but he's
got the bat-missing thing down. In 89 1/3 innings, he has caused batters to
whiff on more than 12 percent of his pitches and he has a long history of high
swinging strike rates as a minor leaguer. Because of his lackluster big league
resume, you won't need to target Webster outside of deep leagues on Draft Day,
but if he shows even decent control in the early going, act quickly to snap
him up.
Fantasy爆冷门黑马:Allen Webster, SP
两年前红袜在与道奇的九人大交易中盘来Webster,现在则是放弃让他成为未来轮值的一
部分,而改当小蛇的他将有机会站稳先发投手。控球从来不是Webster的强项,在有限的
大联盟亮相机会里,他与好球带的关系一直是特别的不熟,但他却有办法让打者挥空。
89 1/3的局数里,他的投球让打者的挥空率超过12%,这项数据在他身为小联盟球员时更
是高得吓人。由於没有显赫的大联盟成绩,你不必在Fantasy的选秀日就瞄准他,但他如
果一开季就展现出像样的控球力,请赶快行动网罗他吧。
Biggest strength: Middle-of-the-order power
With full, healthy seasons from Mark Trumbo and MVP-caliber first baseman Paul
Goldschmidt, the D-Backs have two players who should hit at least 30 homers.
Newly signed Yasmany Tomas is said to have 30-homer potential himself, too.
We're still shaking off the video-game numbers from the so-called Steroid Era,
but let's keep in mind that 30-homer guys are relatively rare these days.
There were only 11 last season and only the Blue Jays had more than one guy
get there. That Arizona has three men capable of topping 30 is a big plus for
the offense -- especially since they only hit 118 last season and no one even
got to 20, largely because of Goldschmidt (19 homer) only playing 109 games
due to injury.
最大优势:中心打线火力
拥有健康打满整季的Mark Trumbo以及MVP等级的一垒手Paul Goldschmidt,小蛇应该就
会有两名球员可以打出至少30轰,而新签下的Yasmany Tomas也被认为有30轰的潜力。我
们仍无法遗忘那所谓的类固醇年代造就的电玩般成绩,但我们得记得,这些日子以来能
敲出30轰的家伙已经相对稀少了;过去11季里只有蓝鸟队做到同队两名以上的球员能跨
过这个门槛。握有三名30轰能力选手对小蛇的进攻来说是大加分,特别是去年团队只有
118轰,甚至没人20轰,主要是因为Goldschmidt只打了109场比赛就因触身球进伤兵名单
,以19轰作收。
Biggest weakness: Rotation
Until the upside of Corbin and the stability of Arroyo return to the rotation
down the line -- assuming no setbacks -- the starting rotation is lacking.
Hellickson's fly ball tendencies are a bad fit for Chase Field, as I've noted
before, and they'll need to see development from de la Rosa and Webster. It's
absolutely possible that this problem goes away during the season, but a lot
would have to happen. Corbin would need to come back at full strength,
Hellickson would need to keep the ball in the park like he never has before,
Webster and de la Rosa would need to grow into productive MLB starters and
either Collmenter proves effective or Trevor Cahill returns to All-Star form
after four years of not being there. Or Bradley gets close to his big upside
nearly immediately upon promotion to the majors.
Arizona has lots of depth in starters, especially once everyone is healthy,
but the upside is sorely lacking to begin the season.
最大劣势:先发轮值
直到王牌Corbin和稳定的Arroyo回到阵中,才能解决轮值问题,如果没有,这先发轮值
残破不堪。Hellickson的飞球型特性在主场Chase Field出赛极为不利,所以小蛇必须指
望de la Rosa及Webster能有所进步。轮值问题的解决可能得等到季中,Corbin必须恢复
到最佳状况;Hellickson不能再像以前一样,得想办法把球留在场内;de la Rosa及
Webster需要成长为够力的大联盟先发投手;不是Collmenter得证明自己的能力,就是
Cahill需要恢复四年前他还没来到这里时的全明星身手;或者是Bradley能立即升级,获
得拔擢至大联盟。
Outlook
The exciting Pollock and the power will be real fun to watch, but the D-Backs
will be among the worst in baseball when it comes to keeping the opposition
off the scoreboard. Several projection systems have them as either the worst
team in baseball or in the conversation. They've surprised before -- their
last two playoff appearances were both from seemingly "out of nowhere" -- and
anything is possible, but this team doesn't yet look ready to compete. They
are especially outmanned by the Giants, Dodgers and the upcoming Padres in the
NL West.
Instead, a successful season will be seeing what youngsters are part of the
solution -- especially in the rotation -- and how the team grows under
promising new skipper Hale. Then they can head into the offseason knowing what
will get them closer to turning things around.
展望
令人惊奇的Pollock和火力升级是观战重点,但小蛇仍会在後段班中打转,力图压低对手
在记分板上的分数。好几个预测系统都评定他们会垫底,但最近两次的季後赛亮相都是在
不被看好的情况下打进的;任何事都有可能发生,只是这支球队看起来还没准备好加入竞
争行列,尤其是得面对国联西区兵强马壮的巨人、道奇和来势汹汹的教士。
换句话说,本季是否成功,将视年轻新秀是否能成为球队拼图而定,尤其是先发轮值,而
球队的成长则得仰赖新首领Hale;历经这个球季,他们将更能进一步晓得还欠缺什麽才能
扭转一切。
