No.20: Nick Goody ( https://goo.gl/kYhN53 ) No.19: Bradley Zimmer ( https://goo.gl/D7ng28 ) No.18: Lonnie Chisenhall ( https://goo.gl/WzwMVr ) No.17: Yan Gomes ( https://goo.gl/EYgwh3 ) No.16: Zach McAllister ( https://goo.gl/Zmes94 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No. 20: Nick Goody made a name for himself in 2017 Cleveland Indians reliever Nick Goody had the best season of his career in 2017 and should receive even more time on the mound in 2018. Nick Goody‘s arrival at the end of 2016 was overshadowed by the big news surrounding the Cleveland Indians‘ acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion, but Goody earned himself some recognition in 2017. He wasn’t immediately set to be part of the Opening Day bullpen, but Goody made his first appearance on April 14, logging two scoreless innings. He would not allow a single earned run until June 3. Goody didn’t have a massive workload in 2017, but still logged 54.2 innings in 56 appearances. He allowed 17 earned runs and 20 total runs, but eight of those earned runs came in just three appearances. With Bryan Shaw now gone, Goody figures to have a more important role in this bullpen. At the top is the dominant duo of Andrew Miller and Cody Allen, while it will be a competition between Goody, Dan Otero, Tyler Olson and Zach McAllister to see who can become the go-to third option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olson may be exempt as he could become the matchup guy against lefties. The best thing about Goody is that it is easy to forget his name when mentioning the bullpen because he didn’t make any major mistakes. He never had a truly horrific outing, and quietly did his job for most of the season. He had two outings in which he allowed at least three earned runs, but never had a game that made fans hate him like some hated Shaw. 2017 was Goody’s first year of regular work in a major league bullpen, so fans should expect an even better year from him in 2018. His sample size is small, but his strikeouts increased with the full year of work while his walks went down when considering the extra work compared to his short year in 2016. Some fans are panicking a bit now that both Shaw and Joe Smith will be playing elsewhere in 2018, but Goody should do just fine in a bigger role. The panic can set in at the end of the 2018 season when Miller and Allen are free agents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No20: 2017，Nick Goody 成名的那一年 笑脸人的中继投手Nick Goody在2017年投出生涯至今最佳的表现，也替自己明年球季赢得 更多出赛的机会。 Nick Goody在2016年季末加盟笑脸人的消息被EE接受笑脸人合约这个更重大的新闻盖过去 了，但他在2017年用自己的表现赢回了应有的关注。 2017年的开幕战其实Goody还没被放入笑脸人的牛棚名单中，但他在4月14号球季初登板就 缴出中继两局无失分的表现，直到六月三号才失掉第一分自责分。Goody在2017年球季的 工作量并不算太大，56场出赛中吃下54.2局，掉了20分，其中有17分是自责分，不过有八 分自责分是集中在三场比赛。 随着Shaw的离队，Goody对笑脸人的牛棚而言势必更加重要，笑脸人牛棚目前主要是由A米 和Cody Allen坐镇，Goody预计将会和Dan Otero、Tyler Olson与Zach McAllister共同争 取衔接先发与这两位八九局主力牛棚中间的要角。Olson也可能不会去竞争这个位置，他 或许会被任命为专职对付左打的投手。 当提到Goody时，大多数人似乎没有太多印象，这对Goody来说是件很棒的事，这代表他在 牛棚并未犯下任何让球迷耿耿於怀的重大失误。他从未经历过一场很糟糕恐怖的出赛，在 球季大多数的时刻，他都是静静的完成他自己应做的工作。他有两场出赛掉了三分以上的 自责分，但未曾如Shaw一样，投出极为糟糕的比赛让球迷痛恨咒骂至今。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017年是Goody在大联盟牛棚固定出赛的第一年，所以球迷可以期待他在明年球季能有更 好的表现。虽然样本数不够多，但他的三振能力在去年球季却是上升的，保送率和2016年 不多的出赛数相比，也是降低的。有些球迷会对Shaw与Smith在季末离队的消息感到难过 ，但Goody有能力在未来球队中负担更重要的角色，补足牛棚战力。如果球迷要难过的话 ，留到明年球季结束後，双A并肩成为自由球员时再好好难过吧。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No19: Bradley Zimmer had a solid start to his career in 2017 Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer made a positive impact on the team in 2017 and will look to get better in 2018. The sight of Jason Kipnis in center field during the 2017 postseason was shocking for some Cleveland Indians fans, but it may have never happened if Bradley Zimmer didn’t get injured. Zimmer knocked himself out for the postseason with a headfirst slide into first base just three weeks before the end of the regular season. If not for that, who knows what would have happened in October. It is a stretch to say that Zimmer’s presence would have changed the outcome of the ALDS, but it is fair to say that he had a solid rookie season stepping into a situation such as this one. He joined a contending team and never did anything to hurt his team while in town. Zimmer slashed .241/.307/.385 in 101 games, although his numbers would have been much better if not for a slump that lasted from August up until his injury in September. Zimmer slashed .141/.215/.155 in an August to forget. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But Aaron Judge was also slumping during the latter part of the season, so let ’s chalk it up to being a rookie for now. The best thing about Zimmer is his range in center field. He actually covers so much ground he has to be careful in the future because he can reach the wall so quickly and he seems to not realize when he is running out of room. Crashing into the wall to make a catch is an exciting sight, but it could lead to some unnecessary injuries. That range was sorely missed in the postseason, but the good news is that Zimmer proved himself to where he is an asset for this team moving forward. He also had 18 stolen bases and was only caught one time. If he can raise his average and begin to draw more walks, Zimmer can be a weapon in the leadoff spot with players like Francisco Lindor, Jose Ramirez and Edwin Encarnacion waiting to drive him in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fans are hoping Zimmer’s year wasn’t a fluke, and even his slump later in the season didn’t seem to be due to him losing his ability. Striking out a lot happens to some rookies, so hopefully having a year of experience and an offseason to study what went wrong will lead to a true breakout season for Zimmer in 2018. It sure would be nice to have another star in center field. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No19: Bradley Zimmer，拥有稳定先发机会的2017球季 Zimmer在2017年对球队有相当正面的贡献，明年的他应该能有更好的表现。 Kip在2017年季後赛镇守中外野的那幕确实让许多笑脸人球迷感到惊讶，但只要Zimmer能 够保持健康，这个情景将只能追忆。Zimmer在球季结束前三周，因为一次往一垒的头部滑 垒导致无法於季後赛出场。如果这件事没有发生，今年十月最终的结果会怎样还很难说。 虽然说Zimmer的出赛能完全改变美联分区系列赛的结果是有点夸张，但至少他能够完整地 走完这个菜鸟球季，并且带着最佳状态进入季後赛，我们是可以期待这样的Zimmer对球队 能有更多的贡献，毕竟他是在一支具竞争力的球队，同时他的表现对球队来说是加分的。 Zimmer在101场的比赛中缴出.241/.307/.385的打击成绩，如果不考虑他在八月底到九月 受伤前的那段低潮的话，他的成绩会更好看。他在低潮时的打击三围只有.141/.215/.155 ，不过即使强如Aaron Judge也会在球季尾端出现低潮，就让我们把Zimmer的低潮当作是 菜鸟必缴的学费。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zimmer在中外野的守备范围一直都是他最锐利的武器，但他守备时的移动速度与范围反而 是我们需要特别小心的事情，因为他速度太快了，能够很快地移动到全垒打墙边拚一些困 难的case，但他似乎会因为太专注於球的位置忽略他与全垒打墙间的距离。对外野手来说 ，用尽全力去拚一些全垒打墙边的球是件很爽的事情，但同时也会造成一些不必要的伤势 。他的伤势已经让笑脸人在季後赛失去了顶尖的外野守备。但好消息是Zimmer已证明他自 己的身手，他将会是球队未来重要的资产。Zimmer上季有18次盗垒成功，只有一次失败被 抓到，如果他能提升打击率并试图获得更多的保送，Zimmer将会是称职的前段棒次，利用 高上垒率与速度等着Lindor、Jose Ramirez与EE来将他送回本垒。 球迷都希望Zimmer去年球季的表现不是昙花一现，球季尾声的低潮并不是被看破手脚。极 高的三振率对某些菜鸟来说是无法避免的，希望他能好好利用这一年的大联盟经验，在季 後做些调整与修正，期待他能在2018球季能破茧而出。 能在中外野拥有一位明星球员是件非常好的事! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No.18 :Injuries limited Lonnie Chisenhall’s potential in 2017 Lonnie Chisenhall put up some solid numbers for the Cleveland Indians in 2017, but may have been a much bigger asset if not for several injuries. Cleveland Indians fans saw Lonnie Chisenhall put up some nice numbers in 2017. The problem was he only appeared in 82 games. Chisenhall missed time in every single month of the season due to several setbacks, but still managed to slash .288/.360/.521 in 236 at-bats. He was unfortunately one of several Indians who was brought back for the postseason right off an injury, and was never able to get much of anything going in the ALDS. The veteran figures to receive a major role as a starting outfielder in 2018, but his health remains a question. His career-high in games played is 142, which came back in 2014. To be fair, the platoon system used by Terry Francona also has an impact on Chisenhall’s usage. Chisenhall’s slash line would have been near the top of the list for the entire team if he had played an entire season, so fans are hoping he can keep it up in 2018. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ His career marks are .266/.316/.426, so gradual improvement would be nice yet again. The likely departure of Jay Bruce, (has anyone heard from him?), means Chisenhall is the starting right fielder to start the season. He may be in a platoon role with Brandon Guyer, but it all depends on whether Michael Brantley will be healthy enough to be the everyday starter in left. But what we do know is that no matter the position, we should see a lot of Lonnie this season if he stays healthy. Chisenhall has been with the Indians since 2011 but has never had a season that has blown fans away. 2017 had the potential to be that year, but maybe his improved numbers mean a healthy year in 2018 will be his breakout season. Just in time for a potential year of free agency in 2019. Lonnie has always been a consistent figure in the lineup, but it is about time he takes the next step and puts up All-Star numbers. I certainly believe he is capable of doing just that in 2018. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No18：伤势限制了Lonnie Chisenhall 的发展潜力 Lonnie Chrisenhall 在去年球季的确缴出了一定的成绩，但如果他能够避免频繁的受伤 ，他将会是球队更重要的资产。 笑脸人的球迷会注意到Lonnie Chisenhall在2017球季的表现其实不错，但问题是他只出 赛了82场比赛，每个月他都会因为旧伤复发的关系而缺席一些比赛，不过在236个打数中 ，还是缴出.288/.360/.521的成绩。不幸的是，他也是那群刚离开伤兵名单就马上投入季 後赛的球员之一，导致他在美联分区系列赛中无法提供球队太多贡献。 这位老鸟明年球季应该会是主要的先发外野手，但问题还是在於他的健康。他生涯目前单 季最多的出赛数是在2014年，但也只出赛了142场。 嚼嚼的左右病也会影响使用Chisenhall的时机。如果Chisenhall能够打满整个球季，以他 的打击三围来看，他的打击贡献应该会是球队的前段班，这也是球迷会期待他能在2018年 继续保持打击手感的原因。他生涯的打击成绩是.266/.316/.426，因此能像今年一样再次 获得大幅进步的话，会是一件很棒的事。 Jay Bruce的离队表示在明年开季Chisenhal应该会担任先发右外野手，预计他会和Guyer 一起依照对方先发的惯有手来轮流上场，但前提是Michale Brantley的健康状况足以让他 每天都在左外野奔驰。不论如何，我们可以确定只要Chisenhall能保持健康，他会在球队 中获得大量出赛机会。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chisenhall自从2011年成为笑脸人的一员後，从未让球迷失望过，但2017年的表现有可能 让球迷开始对他感到失望，不过打击数据上大幅的进步也可能让球迷期待如果他在2018年 球季能保持健康的话，将会是大爆发的一年。而且他在2019年就会成为自由球员，所以为 了拚大约，他明年的表现是让人相当期待。 Chisenhall过去在球队打线中一直都是那种稳定但表现普通的球员，但现在差不多是时候 该成长，往明星球员的身手迈进的时刻。我非常期待能够看到他在2018年的蜕变。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No.17: Yan Gomes didn’t excel or disappoint in 2017 Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes didn’t have an amazing season in 2017, but he still stood out as the top catcher on the team. The Francisco Mejia hype train keeps rolling along, but Cleveland Indians fans can get used to seeing a lot of Yan Gomes behind the plate once again in 2018. Gomes appeared in 105 games in 2017, slashing a disappointing .232/.309/.399, but keeping the #DontRunOnYan tweets alive. He didn’t play well enough to completely fend off Roberto Perez, who still appeared in 73 games last season. Luckily for Gomes, Perez didn’t do much better at the plate. Offense from the catcher position has been an issue since Gomes won the Silver Slugger Award in 2014. Injuries have been a factor, but this poor play on offense has caused some fans to be ready for Mejia as early as last season. The tricky thing is the contract situation, as Gomes is with the team through at least 2019, with the organization holding options in both 2020 and 2021. Perez is here through at least 2020 with two club options as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A trade is always possible, and Gomes’ name may come up this summer if Mejia continues to progress in the minors. He is already the team’s top prospect so it’s only a matter of time. But for now, Gomes is set to be the primary option at catcher once again in 2018. And while his 2017 wasn’t all that great, he played close to his career averages of .244/.291/.418. His best two seasons came in 2013 and 2014, so it remains to be seen if he is truly declining or if a full year of healthy baseball will lead him to having a breakout season in 2018. The other possibility is that he is what his averages state, and his defense is what makes him a weapon. Gomes isn’t a star player, but he isn’t expected to be one in this lineup. He is reliable behind the plate and capable of outbursts on offense, or even entire seasons of success such as what he did in 2014. Fans are just hoping he has another breakout year in 2018. If he doesn’t, it may cost him his job in Cleveland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No17: Yan Gomes: 不突出也不至於失望的2017球季 笑脸人的捕手Yan Gomes在2017年的表现并不突出，但他仍然是球队目前的最佳捕手 虽然Mejia的声势如日中天，但笑脸人的球迷在2018年大部分时间应该还是会看到Gomes在 本垒板後出赛。2017球季，Gomes出赛105场，缴出令人失望的.232/.309/.399成绩，但 #DontRunOnYan这个tweets的hashtag依然活跃。 自从2014年获得银棒奖後，Gomes在进攻端的表现始终不如人意，伤势或许是个原因，但 他糟糕的棒子还是让球迷在上季季末就开始期待能看到Mejia出赛。不过Gomes的合约状况 让整件事情变得有趣，Gomes至少在2019球季结束前都还会是笑脸人的一员，且球团拥有 他在2020与2021的选择权，Perez的合约也是最快要到2020才结束，球团同样拥有2020以 後的两年选择权。 交易一直都是个可行的选项，Gomes的名字或许在今年夏天就会变得热门，如果Mejia在小 联盟持续进步的话。Mejia毫无疑问是球队的头号新秀，他登上大联盟只是时间早晚的问 题而已。不过目前的情况看来，虽然Gomes在2017年的表现不是很理想，但他仍被球队视 为明年捕手的首选，他上季的打击成绩与他生涯平均.244/.291/.418相差不大。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 他生涯最佳的两个球季是在2013与2014球季，所以目前还很难说他这几年的表现究竟是真 的退化了，还是说只要能让他在2018年获得完整的出赛机会，他将会有令人惊艳的表现。 还有一种可能性是，他明年的表现将会和他生涯成绩差不多，他在捕手位置的守备能力将 会是他最重要的武器。 Gomes一直都不算是拥有明星级身手的球员，也不会期待他能成为一位明星球员，但他在 本垒板後方令人信赖的守备能力与具爆发性的打击表现，会让人期待他能否再度缴出一个 成功的球季，如同他在2014年所展现的实力。 球迷会希望看到他在2018年能有个成功的球季。但他的表现若仍不如预期，或许他就会失 去在克里夫兰工作的机会。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No.16: Zach McAllister continued his progression in 2017 Cleveland Indians fans saw some solid work out of the bullpen from Zach McAllister in 2017, who continues to progress at a steady rate. Cleveland Indians fans aren’t rushing to bring up Zach McAllister‘s name in any conversation about the team’s bullpen, but the veteran figures to be a key piece once again this season. 2018 will mark McAllister’s fourth full year in the bullpen and may also be his final year with the team. The Indians signed McAllister to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration, but he is a free agent next season. So in addition to Andrew Miller and Cody Allen, the Indians may be without McAllister as well in 2019. But that conversation can wait. Anyway, McAllister returns in 2018 after putting up some decent numbers a season ago. If anything, not bringing up his name often last year was a good thing. He simply went out and did his job. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The right-hander only made 50 appearances in 2017, but logged 62 innings and only allowed 18 earned runs. That 2.61 ERA is the best mark he has had as a full-time reliever. He also struck out 66 batters compared to allowing 21 walks. Once again, these aren’t dominant numbers, but McAllister never had a total collapse or a five-run outing that caused fans a great deal of stress. However, he did allow three earned runs in three of his appearances. The Indians went 2-1 in those games. McAllister’s role has usually seen him come into games to pitch at least a full inning, and that seems to be what he will be doing once again in 2018. Someone has to pitch when a game gets out of hand, while other things can come up such as a starter getting hurt and leaving early or an extra-inning game that goes late into the night. 2018 could be the swan song for one of the best bullpens or baseball, or maybe not, as the team could find a way to minimize the losses. And based on how he has progressed as of late, McAllister could be due for a raise in 2019. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No16: 2017年球季持续进步的Zach McAllister 笑脸人球迷在2017年球季看到Zach在牛棚区稳定的出赛，持续稳定的进步 在任何对话中谈到笑脸人的牛棚时，只要提到Zach McAllister，所有笑脸人的球迷都不 会急着中止这个话题。 2018年的球季，这位老将预计将会继续担任牛棚要角之一，这也是他生涯第四个全职牛棚 的球季，同时也可能是他在这个球队最後一年。今年季末为了避免薪资仲裁，笑脸人与 Zach签下了一年的合约。但明年球季结束後，他将会成为自由球员。因此除了双A外， 2019的笑脸人牛棚中也可能会少了Zach，不过现在要讨论这话题的话还太早。 不论如何，上季成功让一些数据变好看後，2018年Zach会继续在牛棚区准备。他上季的 好表现让任何话题都无法打断球迷对他的讨论，2018年他需要做的事就是继续出赛并且好 好完成他的工作。 这位右投手上季只出赛50场却吃下了62局，只失18分的自责分，2.61的自责分率是他担任 全职中继投手以来最出色的成绩。他三振了66位打者，同时也保送了21位打者。我必须强 调，虽然这不是甚麽了不起的数据，但Zach从未在投手丘上崩盘，未曾发生过单局掉五分 之类的糟糕表现让球迷担心受怕。不过他也出现过三场比赛失了三分自责分的纪录，这三 场比赛笑脸人赢了两场输了一场。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zach在球队上的定位通常是只要出赛都会投至少一局的长中继，2018年他的任务应该不会 改变，毕竟球队总是需要一些投手在比赛失控时登场止血，或是处理某些特殊场面，如先 发投手因伤或其他原因提早退场，和那种一路打到深夜的延长赛。 2018年将会是这支球队拥有耀眼牛棚的最後一年，不过也不一定，端看球队制服组如何运 作，让离队的球员降到最少。根据Zach近期不断进步的表现来看，2019年他应能如预期地 获得一张好合约。 --
