Inbox: Why doesn't Masterson have '14 deal? Beat reporter Jordan Bastian answers Indians fans' questions By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 2/3/2014 4:34 P.M. ET http://ppt.cc/Ty6a If the Indians go to arbitration with Justin Masterson, it would seem that they can say goodbye to signing him to a multiyear deal. I know the Indians don't have as much money to spend as some other teams, but isn't this situation ridiculous? -- Harvey R., Cleveland 如果印地安人和Masterson真的进行薪资仲裁，这同时也意味着球队不会给他复数年约。 我知道笑脸人不像其他队一样有钱，但这样也未免太荒谬了吧？ -- Harvey R., Cleveland This type of situation is actually becoming more common among teams. The unpredictability of the current pitching market, which has been complicated by Draft pick compensation tied to qualifying offers, has made it increasingly difficult to predict what a pitcher might make as a free agent. That is why pitchers such as Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana are still unsigned this winter. 这样的状况在各队中都会越来越常见。因合格报价产生的补偿选秀使得当今投手市场 局势更加扑朔迷离，也越来越难以衡量自由球员投手的价值。 这也就是为什麽一些投手像Ubaldo Jimenez和Ervin Santana至今尚未签约。 The longer a free agent waits, the more likely it is that the price tag will drop. Next winter, Masterson could be in a similar situation if Cleveland extends a one-year qualifying offer prior to his electing free agency. Right now, that possibility can muddle projections for what a pitcher such as Masterson might be worth in terms of dollars and years over a multiyear pact. 自由球员待价越久，等来的报价只会越低。下个冬天，如果克里夫兰在Masterson成为 自由球员前给出一年QO，那Masterson也会面对相同处境。 现在和他谈复数年合约只会对这位投手的未来评估造成混乱。 At the moment, the Indians and Masterson's camp are concentrating on a one-year deal, which may or may not require an arbitration hearing on Feb. 20. You can bet that the sides are paying attention to a similar situation that is ongoing between the Reds and pitcher Homer Bailey, whose arbitration hearing is scheduled for the same day. Whether it's a one-year deal or an extension, Masterson's next contract might be similar. 笑脸人和Masterson双方目前正朝一年合约努力，也许不用上2/20的仲裁庭。 双方也都很关心状况相近的红人和Bailey，他们听证会也刚好在同一天。 不管Bailey最後会拿到一年约还是延长合约，Masterson的合同多半也差不多。 Masterson, who turns 29 in March, has requested a salary of $11.8 million, and the Indians have offered $8.05 million, following him earning $5,687,500 in 2013. Bailey, who turns 28 in May, is seeking $11.6 million compared to Cincinnati's offer of $8.7 million, after the righty made $5.35 million in '13. Both Masterson and Bailey have expressed a willingness to discuss a long-term deal. 三月就满29岁的Masterson开价11.8M，而CLE只出8.05M；而Bailey五月满28岁， 他要11.6M相比於CIN的8.7M，两人去年薪水分别是5.6875M和5.35M。 同时Masterson和Bailey都和所属球队表达了愿意讨论长期合约。 Over the past three years, Masterson posted a 3.86 ERA, 2.24 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 1.31 WHIP and 100 ERA+ over 615 1/3 innings. In that same span, Bailey put up a 3.79 ERA, 3.40 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 1.21 WHIP and 105 ERA+ in 549 innings. Over his six-year career, Masterson has a 4.03 ERA to go along with a 100 ERA+, while Bailey has a 4.25 ERA and 96 ERA+ in parts of seven seasons. 过去三年间，Masterson是3.86 ERA 2.24 K/BB 1.31 WHIP 615.1 IP 100 ERA+ Bailey则是3.79 ERA 3.40 K/BB 549 IP 105 ERA+ 综观生涯成绩，Masterson六年生涯4.03 ERA 100 ERA+，Bailey七年4.25 ERA 96 ERA+ Masterson is likely seeking a deal of at least three or four years, but the Indians could easily cite his inconsistent performance over the past four seasons while countering. From 2010-13 (in order), Masterson posted an ERA of 4.70, 3.21, 4.93 and 3.45 and an ERA+ of 84, 122, 79 and 109. That said, Masterson's leadership on the mound and in the clubhouse makes him a player to potentially build around. Masterson可能会寻求至少三到四年的合约，但印地安人很可能会把他过去四年起伏不定 的表现纳入考量。从10年开始，Masterson逐年ERA是4.70、3.21、4.93、3.45 ERA+是84、122、79、109。不过Masterson在投手丘及球员休息室中展现的领袖风范 使得他成为相当有潜力的重建基石。 If the Indians sign another starter and someone like Shaun Marcum (non-roster invitee) impresses in the spring, is there any chance Danny Salazar starts in Triple-A? -- @RyanInCLE (via Twitter) 如果印地安人签下另一个先发，春训又有人受邀表现很好的话，像是Shaun Marcum， 那Salazar有可能从3A出发吗？ -- @RyanInCLE (via Twittwer) No, I don't see a scenario in which Salazar opens in the Minors. It would take a complete derailment on the mound this spring by the young right-hander, and that seems farfetched. If I had to choose a weak link, it might be righty Zach McAllister, who can be optioned without being exposed to waivers. That said, McAllister is a sure bet to open the year as the fourth starter, as things currently stand. 不，我看不到Salazar从小联盟起步的任何可能。这位年轻的右投在春训会表现得 荒腔走板听来相当不切实际。如果我必须选个比较弱的一环，那可能会是还有选择权的 右投McAllister。不过就目前而言，McAllister仍然是开季表定四号先发。 After reading some rumors, is there any chance of the Tribe signing Bronson Arroyo? -- @anotherRube (via Twitter) 在一些传闻过後，笑脸人有机会签下Arroyo吗？ -- @anotherRube (via Twitter) Recent reports had Arroyo seeking a three-year deal, but there is no way the Indians would go that route with a pitcher who turns 37 later this month. Arroyo has a history with manager Terry Francona, is not linked to Draft-pick compensation and has averaged 200-plus innings for the past decade. That said, I think it'd have to be a one-year deal (or one plus an option) for Cleveland to get involved. I could be wrong, but I don't see it happening. 最近听说Arroyo想要三年约，而要印地安人和这位即将37岁的老将签三年是不可能的事。 Arroyo和Francona相识已久，也不会牵扯到补偿选秀，过去十年平均吃超过200局。 我想克里夫兰提供一年约加一年球队选择是可能的。 我可能会弄错，但我不觉得这会发生。 What happens with the closer in the long-term picture? Vinnie Pestano? Carlos Carrasco? -- @marty_kurtz (via Twitter) 我们终结者长期解答会是谁？Pestano？Carrasco？ -- @marty_kurtz (via Twitter) It's worth noting that John Axford would be eligible for arbitration over the next two winters, following the one-year contract he signed with the Indians this offseason. Of course, that also makes Axford a non-tender candidate next winter, depending on what happens this season. Beyond the Ax Man, youngster Cody Allen would be the favorite to be a future closer. Pestano needs to earn his way back into the late innings, and Carrasco is still viewed as a starter for the time being. 值得注意一点是Axford在明年合约走完後的接下来两年都有薪资仲裁权。 当然，这使得Axford可能明年就不被续约，但还是要看这季他的表现。 除了Axford，年轻的Cody Allen可能会是未来终结者的头号人选。 Pestano需要找回以前比赛後半部的那个自己，而Carrasco在一定时间内都还是会设定 成先发投手。 Do you think Josh Tomlin or Carrasco could end up in the bullpen to start the season? -- @cgoodies5 (via Twitter) 你觉得这季Josh Tomlin或Carrasco最後会从牛棚出发吗？ -- @cgoodies5 (via Twitter) If Carrasco does not win the fifth-starter job and is not injured, I think you'll see him in the Opening Day bullpen. The right-hander is out of options and is in the plans for the pitching staff in some capacity. Tomlin could win a rotation job, and he could also be a long man out of the 'pen, but my guess is he'd be starting at Triple-A if he does not win an Opening Day role as a starter. 如果Carrasco没赢得五号先发也没受伤的话，我想开幕那天你会看到他待在牛棚。 他已经没有选择权了，但他仍然在投手规划当中。Tomlin有机会赢得先发，然而他已经 很久没担任牛棚角色了。所以如果他没抢到先发的话，他会以3A的先发投手开季。 Who will be the first player to earn a callup from the Minors? -- @willrettig (via Twitter) 谁会是第一个被叫上来的小联盟选手？ -- @willrettig (via Twitter) That's a better question for after the Opening Day roster is revealed, but it's fair to assume that the bullpen might need an extra hand or two early in the year. Along those lines, young arms to keep an eye on this season include C.C. Lee, Preston Guilmet, Austin Adams, Bryan Price and Kyle Crockett. If Nick Hagadone doesn't make the roster out of camp, he's also a sure bet for a quick call. Two others could be starter Trevor Bauer and utility infielder Jose Ramirez. 等到开幕战名单出来後，这个问题可能会更好，但牛棚早早就需要多余人手是蛮有机会 的。所以一些年轻的投手像李镇昌、Guilmet、Adams、Price、Crockett可都得密切 注意球季状况了。如果Hagadone不在开季名单中，他也很有可能被拉上去。 其他人选还有先发投手Bauer和内野工具人Jose Ramirez。 --
