抱歉拖搞一段时间 这是中间的部分 http://0rz.tw/d047j Rookie of the month -- Kosuke Fukudome 本月最佳新秀 福留孝介 Evan Longoria is probably the rookie of the half-month. But you can't beat Fukudome's April, even if "rookie" doesn't seem like the right word for him. He has been on base in every game but two. He's batting .327, with a .436 on-base percentage. He's hitting .370, with a .491 on-base percentage, with men on base. He's second in the league in pitches per plate appearance. And he seems genetically incapable of doing anything wrong. "That's a good way to make Cubbie fans like you," laughed Derrek Lee. Evan Longoria可以说的上是半个月的最佳新秀。但你一定没办法打败福留的四月偶然魂 ，即便是”新秀”这两个字在他身上看起来怪怪的。他再到目前为比赛中也只有两场没上 到垒包过。他的打击率高达0.327，上垒率有0.436。他的安打率更高达0.370， 垒上有人的上垒率更是0.491。他是目前联盟投手解决打者所需用球数的第二名。而且他 似乎遗传到了对处理事情的洁癖，Derrek Lee笑着说道：”那的确是个让熊迷喜欢上你的 方式”。 Great Aprils under the radar screen 其它表现不错但没有出现在雷达萤幕上的人 -- Casilla, Soria, Nate McLouth, Josh Willingham, Casey Kotchman, Edinson Volquez, Aquilino Lopez, Joe Saunders. Free agents who wouldn't mind a mulligan 哪些不被介意说闲话的FA -- Andruw Jones, Eric Gagne, Jose Guillen, Cesar Izturis, Josh Fogg, LaTroy Hawkins. Most even deal of the winter 最等质的交易 Josh Hamilton from Cincinnati to Texas for Edinson Volquez. Who got the better of this deal? Maybe nobody. Hamilton leads the major leagues in RBIs (32), and leads the AL in extra-base hits (17). And Volquez leads the NL in ERA (1.23), and trails only John Smoltz and Jonathan Sanchez in strikeout ratio (10. 1 per 9 IP). When was the last time any trade looked this rewarding for both teams? Texas在季前把Edinson Volquez送到Cincinnati 来交易Josh Hamilton。谁在这比交易中 得益呢？哭哭，一个也没。Josh Hamilton目前有着领先全联盟的32分打点，而Edinson Volquez则有着全国联最低的防御率(1.23)，而三振率也仅落後於John Smoltz和 Jonathan Sanchez（每九局k掉10.1个）。上次见到这种对双方都有利的交易是多久以前 了？ Best deal of the winter that got ripped at the time -- Ryan Church and Brian Schneider to the Mets for Lastings Milledge. "Hell, Ryan Church is that team's MVP so far," said one scout, "offensively and defensively. And Schneider is in a system now where his talents are accentuated, because there's so much emphasis on game-planning and game-calling. Milledge, for me, is just a marginal player with great skills. We'll see if that changes." Mets用了Lastings Milledge换来了Ryan Church以及Brian Schneider。”考邀，Ryan Church目前可是成为一队的MVP阿’一位球探说道”不论攻击或防守，而Schneider 则是在这个系统中持续的发展自己的潜力，因为球队不断的强调他已经是球队未来规划蓝 图的其中一块并且随时会把他叫上大联盟。至於Lastings Milledge，对我而言他只是一 位有限度发展且有不错技巧的球员。我们可以来看看，如果有其它变化的话。” Injury of the month 本月最佳伤兵 Giants reliever Keiichi Yabu was unavailable for a couple of days -- after whacking himself in the eye with his own exercise band. Giants的中继投手Keiichi Yabu会有几天是处於无用状态---当他在练乐团时後重击了自 己眼睛之後。 Payback award 最佳投资奖 -- Finally, here's how you can tell it isn't 2007 anymore: The Rockies swept both the Phillies and Diamondbacks in the postseason -- and, naturally, got swept by both the Phillies and Diamondbacks in April. 好拉，我们在这里可以说现在又不是2007： Rockies在季後赛把Phillies和 Diamondbacks清盘，但是在四月份Rockies则是被Phillies和 Diamondbacks给清盘。 Rumbling through the jungle Baked Zito -- the appetizer: 料理Zito—开胃菜 An official of one pitching-starved team said this week: "I think I could trade for Barry Zito right now. But who the hell would want to?" So we posed this question: How much money would the Giants have to pay of Zito's remaining $112.5 million or so to get somebody -- anybody -- interested? 一个极度缺乏投手球队中的官方人员在这星期时候说道：”我认为我可以再现在，听好， 此时此刻来交易Barry Zito。但哪边可以收留他阿？所以我们提出了这样一个问题： Giants愿意替任何-每一个对Barry Zito所有兴趣的人负担$112.5m大约中多少数目？” "The Giants would have to eat 80 percent -- I'm talking $80-90 million," the official replied. "But they'd never do that. If that's what they'd have to eat, they might as well just let the guy keep being horse[feathers]." “Giants最少要吃掉合约中八成的数目，我说的是80-90mUSD不是80-90mNTD”那位官方人 员说道”但是他们绝对不会那样干。如果这是要交易这家伙他们必须付出这样代价，或许 他们宁愿把这家伙留着让他最一匹工作马（或吉祥物）就好” ‧ Baked Zito -- the main course: 主菜 So can Zito ever get straightened out? We surveyed a half-dozen scouts and executives, and we found only one who thought he could. And that was a scout who said his only hope was to get reunited with Rick Peterson, "the only [pitching coach] Barry Zito ever had success with." 所以Zito到底能不能把问题给解决呢？我们访问了一手的球探和球队管理人员，只有一 位认为他可以回复当初身手。而一位球探说Zito唯一的希望就是去找Rick Peterson” Zito在他生涯最辉煌时段伴随着他的人(投手教练)”来把他拆开来整理整理 But another scout offered this sobering view: "First off, I wonder if he's tipping pitches. Guys sit there and take such close pitches, you wonder. But here's his big problem. He's got so much movement on his curveball and so much movement on his changeup, it's difficult to get those pitches called for strikes. He needs to get ahead in the count with his fastball to be able to utilize those pitches. But when he tries to throw his fastball, it's too hittable." 其它的球探提出了一个很严肃的观点”首先，我认为他的投球机制已经被破解了。你知道 的，有很多人坐在那边在统计每一个投手的投球机制。但是这里有一个对於他而言算是颇 大的问题。他的曲球和变化球有着极大的变化，目前来看他很难将这些投到好球带中。他 必须用大量的直球来替代他原本的曲球和变化球。但当他尝试用去投出他的快速球时，却 往往变成打者的可口点心” Baked Zito -- the dessert: 点心 We also asked high-ranking officials of two clubs what they would do if they had a big-buck disaster like Zito on their team. The first replied: "I'd cry." The second had a more innovative proposal. 我们同时也问了两只有着高度评价的球团工作人员，如果他们自己的球队遇到了像Zito这 种开了大笔资金却无法收到预期效果时，他们会怎样处理。第一个人反应都是”我们会哭 哭”。第二个人反应则是相当有创意的。 "Here's what they should do," he said. "They should go to Zito and say, 'Look, it's clear this is not going to work. Let's put together an NBA-type deferral package. We'll take the whole contract, defer it over 30 years with no interest and then we'll release you, to let you start fresh somewhere else.' “这是我们会有的作法”他说道”他会走到Zito旁边然後和他说’Yo man，现在看起来你 似乎无法工作。让我们来试试看NBA的那种展延合约方式。我们会吞下所有合约，并将这 笔合约没有任何利息的展延30年。然後我们会把你丢出去，让你自己找个地方能够重头再 起’” "The club could get significant cost savings that way. You take $112 million over 30 years, that's $3.7 million a year. You're better off paying him $3.7 million a year to not pitch than having him go out and do what he's doing. … In the NBA, this happens a lot. The union would never let him do that in our sport. But you know what? From the player's standpoint, he'd be better off." “经由这种方式，球团可以节省下一些花费。将112m分成30年支付，一年大概3.7m。和让 他继续在场上这样搞相比，一年给他3.7m叫他别投球或许比较好点…在NBA，这种情况时 常可见，可是联盟不会让这情况发生在我们这边。但是你知道嘛，站在球员方面而言，这 似乎是最好的方式。” The amazing Reyes: 让人吃惊的Reyes Assuming Zito is untradable, the pitcher out there who seems to be eminently available is St. Louis' Anthony Reyes. But clubs that have talked to the Cardinals are grumbling that they want an upper-echelon prospect back, plus "another piece." 假使Zito是不可交易的，那麽另一位表现出色到让人吃惊的投手便是St. Louis的 Anthony Reyes。但是任何和Cardinals的球团确有些许的不爽快，他们希望能够从农场中 找一些潜力新秀上来并加上一些”杂鱼”。 "I think the guy is salvageable," said an executive of one interested team. "But that's got to be proven, too. So I think they don't quite understand what they have. We're talking about a guy who is [9-24], with a [5.46] ERA. So the asking price is pretty frigging high." “我认为那家伙是汪洋中的一盏明灯阿”一位对他有兴趣的球团高层人员说”但这还需要 经过证明。所以我认为他们还不知道到底他们拥有了怎样的货色，我们谈论的是一个成绩 是9胜24败且ERA5.46的人，可是他的价位却如此高的吓人 ” Can't catch this Ray: 抓不到这道光 Meanwhile, clubs continue to hover around Tampa Bay in general, and Edwin Jackson in particular, figuring that the Rays will have to move an arm when Scott Kazmir comes back. But an executive of one of those teams laughed when asked if his club had a shot at Jackson. "I don't see how they could move him," he said. "I don't see why they'd ever put him out there. The stuff is too good. Yeah, he's still inconsistent. But at least he's consistently less inconsistent than he used to be." 同时，球团还是决定继续窝在Tampa Bay，但是Edwin Jackson却是特别的。要知道必须在 Scott Kazmir回来之後从先发轮值里面挪出一个名额给他。但是当我们问了一位球团行政 人员如果你们有机会捡到Edwin Jackson这问题的时候，他却突然科科笑了两声，并说道 ”我看不出来他们有任何理由把他丢出去。他的能力很棒，是的他还有些许的不稳定。但 最终他的会成为一位稳定的投手” Youth won't be served: Although the citizens of New York might not have noticed, the Yankees aren't the only team that's been trying to survive with two young pitchers in their rotation. In fact, we count nine teams who have had two pitchers, age 24 or younger, make at least four starts apiece this year. Here's how their teams have done in those games: 即便是纽约市里面的公民还没有注意到，Yankees不是唯一一只打算在轮值圈里面放上两 位年轻投手并藉此拯救整支球队的队伍。事实上，我们数过了一共有九支球队有着两个24 岁或者更年轻的投手，我们并制作了下面这个表格，看看他们的球队在之前的表现八。 Pitchers Team Record Greg Smith-Dana Eveland A's 8-3 Scott Olsen-Andrew Miller Marlins 7-5 Matt Chico-John Lannan Nationals 8-7 Cole Hamels-Kyle Kendrick Phillies 6-5 Matt Cain-Tim Lincecum Giants 6-5 Edinson Volquez-Johnny Cueto Reds 5-5 Jon Lester-Clay Buchholz Red Sox 5-7 Ubaldo Jimenez-Franklin Morales Rockies 2-9 Phil Hughes-Ian Kennedy Yankees 2-9 What's the common thread between the Rockies' duo and the Yankees' twosome? All four of those pitchers came up in mid-season last year and had success, but couldn't repeat it when they made an Opening Day roster. 在Rockies和Yankees两者之间有何相同？他们这四位投手都在去年季中被叫上来且都发挥 得很好，但当他们被放当今年开幕名单中时候，表现却和去年有一段差距。 "It's a lot different experience for a guy to come to the big leagues in the middle of a season," said an executive from neither of those teams. "When they get there in the middle of the year, it's usually after they've gotten on a roll and gotten some confidence -- versus breaking with the major-league team out of spring training. There's a whole different level of expectation. And not everybody is ready to handle it." “对一个在季中才升上大联盟的人来说，他会有许多不同的经验”一位不是这些球团的行 政管理人员说道”当他们在球季一半时候被拉到这边，代表他们正在火热且可以被信任 ---可能在春训时候对上大联盟球队有着不错表现。这里有各种不同程度的期待。但不是 每一个人都准备好要来实现这些期待。” Yankees hype dept.: 洋基诈骗集团： The buzz around the Yankees is that before Hughes was placed on the disabled list on Wednesday with a strained right oblique muscle, he was likely to wind up in Triple-A Scranton. Kennedy, meanwhile, is also on a short leash. There's also suddenly a school of thought among scouts that the Yankees may have highly overrated both of them -- but especially Kennedy. 在Hughes星期三因为扭伤胸腹肌被放到DL之前，有些耳语围绕在Yankees球团四周说 他将会被下放到3A Scranton。Kennedy同时也会一起被放下去。忽然间在各球探中出现了 一种说法那就是Yankees是否高估了这些选手，特别是Kennedy。 "What's the ceiling on those guys?" asked one scout who followed the Yankees recently. "For me, Kennedy, at best, is a fifth starter. Hughes can be a little better than that, but not a [No.] 1 or 2. The thing I wonder about with Kennedy is, he was a very polished college pitcher. How much upside is there? “这些家伙的潜力到底在哪？”一位最近加入Yankees的球探问了这问题”对我而言， Kennedy顶多就是一个五号先发。Hughes比较好一咪咪，但也没有到一号或者二号水准。 我比较了解的是Kennedy是一个完成度很高的大学投手。到底这一部份有多少优势？” "He doesn't have dominant stuff. He doesn't really even have a dominant pitch. And they play so many games against their division, Ian Kennedy might have to start five times against the Red Sox. “他没有那种完全宰制打者的球威。他甚至没有任何一种球路可有有效宰制打者。球团间 为了解决这意见的分歧让他们投了很多比赛，Kennedy或许需要五次对上RedSox来看看。 ” People talk about the second and third time through the lineup. How about the third or fourth time against one team? You've got to have something you can use to get through a lineup like that. And I'm not sure right now if he has it." “人们通常讨论一个投手优劣时都在说能否有效压制对手打线两轮或三轮。但当第三次或 第四次碰到同一球队时候呢？你必须有些料才能够有效压制住，但我不确定Kennedy现在 是否有料。” Mandatory Yankees-Red Sox note of the week: Yankees-RedSox的指令周记 There's a subtle Red Sox plot line running through the backstory of Jorge Posada's injury. Posada is 36, and he went down three weeks into the first year of a four-year, $52.4-million contract. OK, now what other AL East team has a 36-year-old catcher who will be looking for a big contract in a few months? 有一种阴谋论说法说Posada的受伤和Red Sox有些许关连。Posada已经36岁了，目前是4 年52.4m合约中第一年的第三个星期。好拉，咱们来看看现在美联东区有哪一个36岁的捕 手最有可能在几个月之後拿到大合约？ If you answered the Red Sox, with Jason Varitek, you're doing a fine job of playing along at home. And we'd bet the front office is already typing up its list of 50 Reasons We're Not Giving Varitek a Jorge Posada Contract so they can sing that song to Scott Boras all winter. "The thing about Scott is, he never alters his playbook," said an official of one team. "You know he's going to point to that Posada deal. But the Red Sox are not doing that. At least Posada can play a little first and DH if they decide he can't catch any more. The other guy [Varitek] can't do that. So it ought to be an interesting negotiation." 如果你回答的是Red Sox的V-Tek，科科，那你一定是一个在家里面宅了很久的宅宅。 我 们打赌在球团办公室里面已经些好了一张上面列有50个条件说明”林背不会给V-Tek那种 和Posada一样的合约”然後会把这些条件写成一首歌一整个冬天就对着Boras唱。”对於 Boras来说，他从不更改他自己的游戏规则”一个球团办公室人员说道”你知道Boras一定 会说到Posada那个合约。但是Red Sox才不会屌他。如果Posada不能蹲补还至少可以打DH 和一垒，但V-Tek没有这种办法。可以预见这会是一场有去的讨价还价。” The horse pulls up: 好马冲冲冲 There may not have been a more devastating injury to any team this April than John Smoltz's injury in Atlanta. It isn't certain yet how long Smoltz will be down, but if he moves to the bullpen when he comes back, he may not start another game all year. "If he's out a long time, that team's in big trouble," said one scout, "because he's the horse they look to. [Tim] Hudson's good, but he's not the horse." 看来不会有哪一只球队会如同Atlanta一样，在Smoltz四月份因为受伤挂点之後受到如此 大的影响。现在还不知道Smoltz会挂点多久，不过如果他会来後被移到牛棚，或许他一整 季将无法在放到先发轮值中。”如果他挂点在久一点，这将会是一个大灾难”一位球探说 道”因为他是一匹好马，Hudsom也不赖拉，只是他的品种没有Smoltz那麽优良”。 "John Smoltz is not replaceable," said one NL executive, "in so many ways. He has a unique value to the organization and to the other 24 guys on that club." “Smoltz的地位是无可取代的”一位国联的工作人员说道”在许多方面来说，他对於球队 里面其他的24个人都有着独特的价值”。 For what it's Werth: Scouts who have followed the Phillies this year weren't shocked that Shane Victorino came off the disabled list this week -- but Charlie Manuel kept running Jayson Werth out to center field. 众球评们在看今年的Phillies时候，对於Shane Victorino这星期被放到DL一点都不意外 ，但Manuel持续把Werth放在中外野就让他们有点不可思议了。 Werth, who is leading the big leagues in pitches seen per plate appearance for the second straight year, has grown into a more productive offensive player than Victorino. But the surprise is that Werth has actually outplayed Victorino in center field in some respects. Werth，目前在每一打席消耗投手投球数排名上领先全联盟，而这只是他第二个球季罢了 ，他表现的比Victorino积极许多。但真正让大家惊讶的是Werth事实上在中外野的表现比 Victorino以及其他人所期盼的好上许多。 "Victorino was not as good a center fielder as I expected," said one scout. "His throwing wasn't as good or as accurate as it was in right field. He was a lockdown arm in right field last year. He was so good, I even rated him above [Jeff] Francoeur. But not this year." “Victorino在中外野的表现并没有预期的好”一位球评说道”他的传球并没有向之前在 守右外野时候传的一样准确。他之前表现的不错所以我给他的评价是高於Francoeur。但 不是今年”。 -- 「写下这些日记的人，在重新踏上阿根廷的土地时，就已经死去。我，已经不再是我。」 ---Che Guevara--- --
