Santana developing into all-around catcher By Michael Radano / Special to MLB.com | 05/15/2013 1:38 PM ET http://ppt.cc/TlEn PHILADELPHIA -- Each day Indians manager Terry Francona takes a moment to learn a little Spanish. The truth is there is a much bigger purpose behind his conversations with Carlos Santana. 每天笑脸人总教练Terry Francona都会花一点时间学习西班牙文， 实际上，和Carlos Santana的对话中，还有更重要的目标。 "I love him," Francona said of his daily interaction with the 27-year-old catcher. "He helps me every day with a little Spanish. It's just a way to get to know a guy. He cracks me up with the things he says." 「我太爱他了，」谈到和这个27岁捕手的日常互动，Francona说， 「他每天都教我一点西班牙文，这是个了解他的好方法。」 「他说的都让我笑翻了。」 Santana stands out offensively, which Francona is quick to point out is a bonus with a catcher. First and foremost, a catcher must run a pitching staff and be a solid defender. Santana has grown into that role, but it's tough not to notice that he's become an all-around catcher. Francona指出，作为一个捕手，Santana还可以在进攻上表现相当突出，十分难得。 当然对一个捕手来说，首要的是指挥配求和防守能力。 Santana已经在这两部分都有充分的成长， 但很难让人不注意到的是，他已经成为了一个全方面的捕手。 Santana entered Wednesday's game at Citizens Bank Park against the Phillies hitting a robust .325 with seven home runs. His .438 on-base percentage is a tribute to his patience at the plate despite a big swing and in 136 plate appearances he's struck out just 26 times and walked 22. 星期三在对上费城人的比赛前，Santana的成绩是avg .325 7HR 尽管挥大棒，他在打击区的耐心却能让他的上垒率维持在.438 在136个打席中，他只被三振了26次，却有22次保送。 "I think [defense and handling a staff] is the most important things about being a catcher," Francona said. "The offense is something everyone sees. That's a big bonus when you have a catcher that can do what he does offensively. 「我觉得手臂能力对捕手来说是最重要的，」Francona说， 「不过攻击层面每个人都看的到，如果有个捕手像Santana那样有攻击力，」 「那真的是赚到了。」 "He switch hits, he hits for power, he takes walks. He is as a young catcher learning the responsibility of the importance of running a staff. To his credit, he is learning and he's trying to learn. Sometimes it's a step forward and one back, but he's trying really hard and we appreciate that." 「他可以打安打，他有爆发力，他有选球，这个年轻的捕手也正在学习指挥场上。」 「值得赞赏的是，他正试着学习，也正在学习。」 「有时候可能是前进个一步，又後退了一步。」 「不过他真的很努力，我们很欣赏这点。」 Santana is also a great clubhouse presence and rarely gets angry, with one noted exception. "The only way to [make him angry] is to tell him he's not playing," Francona said. "And I love that." Santana在球队中也和其他人相处的很好，他甚少生气，不过有个例外。 「要让他生气的唯一方法就是不让他上场，」Francona说， 「而我相当喜欢他这种态度。」 --
