No.10: Bryan Shaw ( https://goo.gl/AuMXPU ) No.09: Cody Allen ( https://goo.gl/GRfZMB ) No.08: Trevor Bauer ( https://goo.gl/yQTXmx ) No.07: Edwin Encarnacion ( https://goo.gl/GFtnfT ) No.06: Andrew Miller ( https://goo.gl/29zEas ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No10: No more Bryan Shaw hate in 2018 Bryan Shaw had another solid season for the Cleveland Indians in 2017 and even those who hated him may start to miss him in 2018. Cleveland Indians fans were lucky to have a player like Bryan Shaw on the team from 2013-2017. For some, that statement is a flaming hot take because Shaw is the worst pitcher of all time. But to most others, Shaw was seen as a reliable piece in the bullpen and fans are still waiting to see if his absence can be replaced. Shaw routinely appeared in nearly half the team’s games during his tenure, and fans may not realize just how important that is. Having a reliable arm to come into nearly any game and provide solid work is invaluable. Andrew Miller and Cody Allen are ready to finish games off, but Shaw was always there to hand the ball over to either of the two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This formula obviously changed in the postseason when Terry Francona took on the traditional idea of bullpen roles, but the Shaw-Miller-Allen trio was a rather consistent formula last year during the regular season. The problem with Shaw was that he had his collapses, but that is going to happen when making so many appearances. In fact, Shaw only had three outings last year in which he allowed at least three earned runs. That’s great considering he made 79 appearances. But people love narratives, I suppose. The reliable right-hander also appeared in three postseason games last year, logging six innings and allowing one earned run in that span. As we all know, Shaw is now with the Colorado Rockies after signing a three-year, $27 million deal. Fans came to the conclusion that he would automatically be gone, but that deal seems like it could have been matched by the Indians after the team didn ’t re-sign Carlos Santana, Joe Smith, Jay Bruce or Austin Jackson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shaw’s presence in the bullpen won’t be the ultimate difference between winning or losing the World Series. However, this bullpen may not be as elite as it has been the past two years, barring any other moves yet to be made. The front office seems to be content with the group in town, but fans may be in for a bit of frustration now that Shaw isn’t available on a daily basis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No10: 不再讨厌Shaw的2018 Shaw又再度於笑脸人完成一个完整球季，那些过去厌恶他的球迷或许在2018年会有一点想 念他 笑脸人球迷在13-17年非常幸运能拥有Shaw这位球员。但对某些球迷来说，这句话无疑是 火上加油，他们深信Shaw是这世上最糟糕的投手。然而在其他大部分球迷的心目中，Shaw 是牛棚中值得信赖的的一员，球迷也等着看当Shaw离队後，有谁能填补他的位置。 Shaw过去在笑脸人几乎每季出赛数都达到球队整季赛事的一半，球迷或许无法理解对球队 来说这贡献有多麽重要：几乎每场比赛都能拥有一只如此可靠的手臂吃下稳定的局数，这 种贡献对球队来说是无价的。在球队定位来说，双A毫无疑问地会在牛棚准备替这场比赛 收尾，但Shaw却是随时都在场上掌控场面，并将比赛顺利交接给双A的其中一位。虽然这 调度公式在季後赛因为嚼嚼采用比较传统的想法来调度而明显地改变，不过 Shaw-Miller-Allen的连线在例行赛登场的次数相当频繁。 Shaw为人诟病的问题在於他会在投手丘上崩盘，但老实说，像他这种出赛频率极高的选手 想要完全没有砸锅纪录是不太可能的。事实上，Shaw在去年只有三场比赛掉了超过三分自 责分，以他79场的出赛来说，这比例算是相当优秀，但我认为人们还是喜欢凭着印象说 Shaw就等於砸锅。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 这位令人信赖的右投在去年季後赛同样登场三次，投了六局失了一分。 如我们所知，Shaw已经与洛矶队签下三年两千七百万美金的合约，球迷或许会觉得球季结 束後，Shaw就会因为想追逐一张大约而自动离开球队，但从结果来看，这张合约的价码其 实当球队确定不与Santana、Joe Smith、Jay Bruce、Austin Jackson等人续约後，笑脸 人是有能力负担的。 Shaw在牛棚出赛与否并不会改变世界大赛的结果，但他的离队会让笑脸人牛棚不再如过往 两年般优秀，除非有新的选手加入。季後种种迹象都显示球团高层对目前阵容相当满意， 不过球迷或许会开始对失去Shaw这位每天都能在场上做出贡献的牛棚选手感到沮丧。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No.09: Cody Allen potentially in his final year with the team Cleveland Indians fans saw Cody Allen dominate once again in 2017, and another great year for the reliever may make him too expensive to keep in 2018. The Cleveland Indians are poised to have another great season in 2018 as much of the core is returning. That may change in 2019. It is way too early to be thinking about next year, as this year has only just begun. But the fact both Andrew Miller and Cody Allen are free agents after the season will not be forgotten throughout the year. Allen is returning for his seventh season with the Indians, and his fifth as the closer, or whatever Terry Francona is calling the role now. He will be making $10.575 million, $1.575 more than Miller, and that price tag will only go up if he has another solid year. The same is true for Miller. But like I said, it is too early to think about such doom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Allen returns this year after appearing in 69 games a season ago, logging 67.1 innings and recording 30 saves. His ERA of 2.94 was not the best or worst of his career, but it didn’t deviate too much from his career ERA of 2.67. His 21 walks allowed is a new career-best when you take out his shortened first season with the Indians in 2012, and his mark of 92 strikeouts was just behind his career-best of 99 in 2015. There isn’t much to talk about with Allen because he has consistently done his job well and his name only comes up if he makes a mistake, which isn’t too often, although he was on the hook for seven losses in 2017. Losses will happen for closers, even though seven isn’t too ideal. Yet along with Miller, Allen returns to form arguably the most dominant bullpen duo in all of baseball. The fact both can leave after the season may lead to some extra pressure for both pitchers, and could lead to some trade rumors depending on how the team is performing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But given the way the two have been so good for so long, I doubt anything will be much different in 2018. The Indians would also have to be horrible for trade rumors surrounding Allen to pop up, and that would lead to a whole other slew of problems that we don’t need to get into in January. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No09: 明年或许是Cody Allen留在克里夫兰的最後一年 球迷在去年看着Cody再度於投手丘上主宰比赛，但不断缴出优秀表现意味球队需要花更多 钱来留住他 随着所有主力慢慢回归後，笑脸人已做好在2018年球季再度冲击总冠军的准备。不过到了 2019年球季，所有事情都将出现变数。或许在年初就开始思考明年季末是有些早，但双A 在球季结束後将成为自由球员这件事我相信在整个2018球季会不断地被提起。 Cody正准备迎接他生涯第七个穿着笑脸人球衣的球季，同时也是担任终结者(或是其他嚼 嚼现在用来形容这个角色的名词)的第五年。他现在的年薪是一千零五十七万五千美金， 比Miller还多一百五十七万五千美金。如果明年他能完整投完整个球季的话，这价格只会 继续增加。当然，这句话也同样适用於Miller身上。 但我还是要重申，现在就开始思考他们离队後克城的末日还太早。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cody上季出赛69场，吃下67.1局并获得30次救援成功，2.94的防御率以他生涯来说不是最 好也不是最糟，这数字与他生涯平均的2.67防御率相比差异也不大。但他上季21次的保送 确实是他生涯新低-如果你不把他2012年菜鸟球季的短暂出赛列入计算的话；92次的夺三 振数也是生涯次佳的表现(仅次於2015年的95次夺三振)。我们不需再多花篇幅叙述Cody的 表现，因为他一直都是如此稳定，我们只会在他偶尔失常时才会提到他的名字。不过他在 上季还是有七场比赛在场上陷入困境并吞下败投。对终结者这种角色来说，吞败在所难免 ，但整季拥有七场败投就不太理想了。 Cody与Miller被认为是大联盟最具主宰力的牛棚双星，当明年季末这两位选手离队後，对 球队投手部门无疑是种压力，这让球团高层可能会依届时球队的表现而做出一些交易。 鉴於这两位投手在过往都拥有如此优秀的表现，我认为或许在明年，球队牛棚会出现一些 重大改变，高层也许会对不断出现交易Cody的传闻感到厌烦，这或许也将会引发一些新的 问题，但我们不需在一月就来面对它。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No08: Trevor Bauer looking to be even better in 2018 Cleveland Indians fans saw a breakout season from Trevor Bauer in 2017 and are hoping for even greater things from the outspoken starter in 2018. Trevor Bauer is still a polarizing figure among Cleveland Indians fans mainly because some can’t let go of a certain accident sustained back in 2016. But after his 2017 season, no one should be holding a grudge against the young pitcher. Bauer finished the year with a record of 17-9, logging 176.1 innings and striking out 196 batters. He did not reach a new career-high in innings pitched, but Bauer shattered his previous high in strikeouts of 170 back in 2015. The most notable part of Bauer’s 2017 season may have been when he was the starter in Game 1 of the ALDS, but he answered by throwing 6.2 shutout innings in the 4-0 victory. The problems came in his Game 4 start, on short rest, when he only lasted 1.2 innings. The blame for that may fall elsewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bauer cemented himself as the dominant third option in the rotation last year, and that should only continue in 2018. He wasn’t overworked last year and was able to counter a BB/9 of 3.1 with a K/9 of 10. Both were new career-bests. The young pitcher is outspoken but he has really not done anything that should have fans hating him in 2018. Fans should want players who play well, and that is what Bauer does. Chalk up the injury during the 2016 postseason to being young. The Arizona Diamondbacks gave up on Bauer back in 2012 and that has been great news for the Indians. Bauer has essentially grown up in front of our eyes and that sometimes means some rough patches along the way. How can you not want to see more from a guy who can do this: ( https://twitter.com/KentMurphy/status/956533657635905536 ) Insane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bauer has embraced the scientific approach to pitching and it is paying off. The only thing fans can hope for now is that his arbitration process can go smoothly to help avoid any unnecessary distractions. Bauer has shown progression in so many statistical categories during his time in Cleveland, so it is an easy expectation to say he will only get better in 2018. Because…science! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No08: 寻求更上层楼的Trevor Bauer 笑脸人球迷见识到Trevor在2017年的大幅进步後，开始期盼能在2018年看到他在先发位置 上有更显着的突破 当评价Trevor时，笑脸人球迷就会分成两派，主要是有些球迷还是无法忘记他在2016年所 制造的那个意外，但当他顺利完成2017球季後，应该不再会有人讨厌这位年轻的投手了。 Trevor去年球季留下17胜9负，共176.1局的投球，送出196次三振。虽然投球局数无法缔 造生涯新高，但三振数已超过2015年的170次，成为目前生涯的最高纪录。他在2017球季 最令人注目的比赛就是美联分区系列赛的第一战，他担任该场比赛的先发并完成6.2局的 任务，最终球队也以4-0获得胜利。但到了第四战，他只撑了1.2局，也让批评与责难从四 面八方排山倒海而来。 Trevor在上个球季一直都是球队固定的第三号先发，若无意外，明年应该也是继续负责这 个任务。去年他的投球局数被妥善控制，并未被过度使用，BB9与K9值分别为3.1与10.0， 创下生涯新高。 这位年轻投手勇於表达自己的想法，但他并没有做出甚麽会让球迷讨厌他的事情。大家会 专注於球员在场中的表现，Trevor在这点做得相当出色。2016年的那个意外受伤你可以说 是那时的他太过年轻不够成熟。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2012年响尾蛇队决定让Trevor离队的消息对笑脸人来说是件天大的好事，Trevor也在我们 眼前一步步地成长，不过换句话说，这也表示他还是个璞玉，还能期待他在某些地方能够 进步。你说会有哪一位球迷不想要看到这种的球员有更多好表现? (影片: https://twitter.com/KentMurphy/status/956533657635905536，是Trevor使用3oz的球 投出117mph) 超狂。 Trevor是科学训练的忠实信徒，他会试图尝试使用各种科学方法来改善他的投球。 身为球迷，我们希望能看到他在仲裁时一切顺利，不会发生一些不必要的事让他分心。在 笑脸人时期Travor已在许多统计数字中展现实力，我认为他明年的发展只会变得更好。 原因? 因为科学。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No07:Cleveland Indians fans saw great things from Edwin Encarnacion in 2017 Cleveland Indians fans saw Edwin Encarnacion get off to a slow start last year, but he quickly turned things around to finish with some great numbers. Edwin Encarnacion joined the Cleveland Indians with impossible expectations. Signing a deal that pays $20 million annually meant that some fans expected the slugger to put up record numbers starting with his first at-bat in an Indians uniform. And while Encarnacion got off to a bit of a slow start, he finished with some amazing numbers. After the hot takes subsided, Encarnacion finished the year with 38 home runs, 107 RBI, 104 walks and a slash line of .258/.377/.504. His OBP was the highest on the team among qualified hitters, so his 133 strikeouts don’t look nearly as bad. He finished 20th in the AL MVP voting, marking the fifth time he has finished in the top 20. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Encarnacion was rather absent from the headlines in the postseason after an ankle injury that had some cursing the baseball gods, but it doesn’t take away from the great season he had. And to be fair, most of the team disappeared in the postseason. Baseball Reference is projecting similar numbers for Encarnacion in 2018, with a slight decrease in home runs (35) and RBI (99). Even these numbers would be great considering he is entering his age-35 season. I’m hesitant to say that a key to success for Encarnacion is to avoid a slow start, because he had one in 2017 and still bounced back to have a great offensive season. A .200 batting average with four home runs last April was not what fans had in mind. But if you look at his numbers for the entire season and remember that the Indians led the AL Central after April, those numbers don’t look as bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The real key for Encarnacion, as for every player on the roster, is to just stay healthy. He played in 157 games in 2017, which was the second-best mark for his career after playing in 160 games in 2016. The ankle injury in the ALDS was a fluke thing, but it wouldn’t hurt to give Encarnacion some rest throughout the year. This may lead some fans to complain because he is “only ” a DH, but that is just a lazy narrative. I don’t see any reason to expect any regression from Encarnacion in 2018, and he remains part of the core returning this year that will help alleviate the negative effects of Carlos Santana leaving for the louder pastures of Philadelphia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No07:笑脸人球迷在2017年一同欣赏了来自EE的精彩表现 虽然开季时慢热，但EE很快就将状态调整回轨道，整季也以出色的成绩坐收。 EE在出乎所有人意料之外的情况下来到克里夫兰。拥有两千万年薪的合约，笑脸人球迷自 然希望这位强打者能在他披上笑脸人球衣的新球季就能缴出极佳的成绩，虽然开季时有些 慢热，但当球季结束後通算整季表现时，他留下一张惊人的成绩单，他共轰出38发全垒打 ，攻下107分打点，获得104次保送，打击三围是.258/.377/.504。在所有符合打数的选手 中，EE的上垒率是全队最高，这贡献让他133次的被三振数相较之下也不算太差。EE在美 联MVP票选排名20，也是他生涯第五次在MVP票选中获得前20名的肯定。 EE或许情愿在季後赛缺席，这样他就不需带着脚踝的伤势在场中硬撑并缴出那难看的数字 。虽然季後赛的表现不尽理想，却不能因此抹煞他在例行赛缴出的好成绩。老实说，他也 不是唯一一位在季後赛令人失望的球员。 Baseball Reference预测EE在明年的表现跟上个球季差不多，只是全垒打数与打点会稍微 降低到35轰和99分打点，这些数字对一位即将迈入35岁的打者来说还是相当出色。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 我有点犹豫要不要说EE明年球季的关键在於开季时如何避免慢热的情况再度发生，因为他 虽然在去年开季调整较慢，不过当球季结束後他的成绩还是如此耀眼。去年四月EE的打击 率只有两成，伴随四发全垒打的表现无法让球迷留下太深刻的印象。但如果你去看他整季 的表现，并且留意去年四月後笑脸人就一直稳居美联中区龙头的话，这些数字看起来也不 是太糟。对明年的EE来说，最重要的关键跟其他笑脸人球员一样，就是好好保持健康。他 上季共出赛157场，也是生涯仅次於2016年160场出赛数的纪录。美联分区系列赛的脚伤只 是运气不好，而且受伤对EE来说也不见得是件坏事，他正好藉由这个伤势获得一些休息的 机会。一定会有球迷不认同这种想法，因为他们会觉得EE就只是个DH，负担本来就不大。 我想不到任何因素能让我预期EE在明年会退化，他明年依然会是球队的打击重心，同时也 能补足Santana离队前往费城後对球队造成的负面影响。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No06: Expecting greatness in Andrew Miller’s contract year Cleveland Indians fans are expecting more great things from Andrew Miller in 2018 and are hoping it isn’t his final season in an Indians uniform. Trading for Andrew Miller may have gone down as one of the greatest deals in Cleveland Indians history if the team had finished off the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series. We all know how that went, but Miller still has the chance to help this team win a title in 2018. It is no secret that both Miller and Cody Allen are in their final year of their respective contracts. It doesn’t seem like the team will be able to keep both players, but perhaps the money can be pooled together to keep one. That is a problem for later as the Indians still have the 2018 season to focus on. Miller returns after his first full year in Cleveland in which he made 57 appearances, logging 62.2 innings with a 1.44 ERA. He did deal with some minor injuries, but was able to return and appear in four of the five ALDS games. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, he was charged with a loss in Game 3 after allowing a home run to Greg Bird. To be fair, the Indians lost 1-0 as the offense began its hibernation. Miller remains the fireman of the bullpen and Terry Francona has utilized him perfectly the last two seasons. Last season gave fans a glimpse of how Miller can be used in a full season, and if anything he may have been overworked at times. There isn’t too much to say about the left-hander in terms of predictions because he has set himself apart as one of the elite relievers in all of baseball. Only paying him $9 million this year is a steal for the Indians, but that price tag may double once he hits the open market. Unless the team signs him to an extension during the season, although I doubt that will happen. Bryan Shaw isn’t here to set up Miller and Allen, but that shouldn’t result in a role change for Miller. He may appear earlier in some games as he has done in the past, proving why he is one of the best in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There will be plenty of doom surrounding Miller’s contract situation, but all of that can become obsolete if the Indians finally win it all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No06:期待Andrew Miller在合约年会有卓越的表现 笑脸人球迷期待A米在2018年会有更佳的表现，同时也希望明年不会是他最後一年穿笑脸 人球衣比赛。 如果2016年的世界大赛能击败小熊，那A米交易案一定会是笑脸人队史中最棒的交易。虽 然我们都知道故事最後的结局，不过A米还是有机会帮助球队在2018年赢得世界大赛。 A米与Cody Allen的合约在明年球季就将结束，目前看来球队似乎没有能力同时将这两位 球员留在球队，但如果将两位球员合约到期後空出的薪资额度加在一起，或许有机会能留 住其中一位。不过这问题还不急着讨论，毕竟球队在2018还有更重要的目标要完成。 2017是A米在笑脸人第一个完整球季，共出赛57场，62.2局，防御率只有1.44。身为笑脸 人的一员，A米上季无可避免地还是有些小伤势，不过还是来得及赶上季後赛。美联分区 系列赛的五场比赛中，A米就出赛四场。不幸的是，他在第三战被Greg Bird敲出一发全垒 打，也失掉全场唯一一分，并因此承担败投。平心而论，这场比赛之所以会输球是因为打 线冬眠，与他关系不大。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 过去两季，A米是牛棚中最称职的救火队长，嚼嚼也能在完美地时机派他上场。上个球季 球迷见识到当A米拥有完整球季时表现会是怎样，如果当他被过度使用时，会出现哪些状 况。我们不需要对这位杰出的左投做过多的预测，因为他早已证明自己是全世界最佳的的 中继投手。只付九百万的年薪就能拥有这位顶尖左投对笑脸人来说绝对是超值的投资，不 过一旦A米投入自由球员市场後，他的价码至少会是现在的两倍，除非球队能在季中设法 让他签下延长合约，但我认为这选项成立的机会很低。 Shaw的离队让球队缺少一位好的set-up man将比赛交给双A关门，即便如此，我不认为这 会改变A米在球队中的任务，他也许会在某些比赛如过往般提早上班，并掌控整个局面。 对球队来说，A米的合约状况并不乐观，但只要球队在明年顺利拿下总冠军，我相信所有 问题都不再会是问题。 --
