本篇为半夜睡不着之翻译，有错请见谅 ※ 引述《Belladonaa ()》之铭言：: Seattle Mariners preview 水兵队赛前预览 The best thing about the Mariners' 2008 season was that it finally ended. After 101 losses and a summer of discontent, Seattle enters this season with the hope that the rotation will be improved, the bullpen will have decent options and the offense will be better. 对水兵来说，2008年最好的事情就是赛季终於结束了 进入2009年，水兵希望轮值可以强一点，RP可以称头一点，攻击可以再好一点 （译按：再差应该也不会比2008年差吧，都08年副炉主罗） THREE QUESTIONS 三个问题 1. Will the new regime turn things around in Seattle? Things can't get much worse. The mess in Seattle last season was as close to toxic as you'll ever see in the big leagues. It was a combination of many things, including bad clubhouse chemistry, underperforming but overpaid stars, a rash of injuries early in the year and way too many losses. The Mariners expected to compete for a playoff spot; instead, they finished 39 games behind the first-place Angels in the A.L. West. New general manager Jack Zduriencik and new manager Don Wakamatsu have their work cut out for them. This is Wakamatsu's first turn as a big league manager, but he has coached under managers such as Mike Scioscia, who knows a thing or two about running a successful franchise. 1. 水兵队的新状况为何？ 再遭也不比08年惨！08年烂到有剩 问题很多，像内部不合、大烂约、伤病一堆 季末来了Jack Z跟Don Wakamatsu 这是Don Wakamatsu第一次当大柠檬Manager 之前他在说瞎底下工作，应该知道如何去搞一只球队 （编按：最好是如此 XD） 2. Why do the Mariners hate Jeff Clement? 水兵讨厌探花捕手？ OK, they don't hate him, but they're not making it easy for the power-hitting catcher to establish himself in the majors. Clement, the No. 3 overall pick in 2005, hit .335 with 14 homers in 48 games in Class AAA last season before his call-up in mid-June (he hit .227 with Seattle, .321 in his final 78 at-bats). Clement had arthroscopic knee surgery in September, but spent the offseason expecting to split time between catcher and DH this season (his full-time job behind the plate is blocked by Kenji Johjima and his three-year, $24 million contract). But then the Mariners brought back Ken Griffey as a DH/left fielder. So, Clement must wait for at-bats when Johjima sits or Griffey plays in the field. Clement has been working at first base this spring, where the starter is Russell Branyan, a veteran slugger who has yet to start for an entire season. Clement also could begin the season at Class AAA. 水兵不讨厌他，只是不知道要怎麽用他 探花捕手被Call之前，在3A有 0.335打击率和14发干炮 但是上来後，却伤到他的膝盖，外加乔治马三年肥约，不可能当黄金板凳 探花08年只好改玩DH为主 DH这个位置09年已经找回小葛 春训虽然已经开始练一垒，但是前面还是有一个老人卡位-Russell Branyan 所以看来探花又要回去3A等等机会 （编按：探花好好打阿，我希望七月就可以看你上来再度观光） 3. Who will close? 谁要来关门 For two years, Seattle simply handed the ball to J.J. Putz in the ninth inning, but his injuries opened the door for 10 different Mariners to record at least one save in 2008. With Putz now with the Mets, the closer job is wide open. Newcomer Tyler Walker and veteran Miguel Batista have the most experience in the role (34 and 38 career saves, respectively). Mark Lowe has ninth-inning stuff but had an unsightly 1.76 WHIP last season. Roy Corcoran had a 3.22 ERA in 50 games for the Mariners in 2008 but doesn't have typical closer velocity on his fastball. David Aardsma and Randy Messenger are in the mix, too, though likely more as fill-ins than full-time options. Former Nationals closer Chad Cordero could emerge around midseason if he completes his recovery from a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder. J.J.喷汁帮我们关了两年的门，最後被送去梅子 所以现在没有人帮我们看门，开放老人家跟年轻人竞争 老巴有经验但太老，Lowe应该要上来接，但08年成绩黑压压 Corcoran 速球看起来不是关门的料 Aardsma 跟 MSN 也是SOSO Cordero 有经验，但是他的伤势观察重点 （编按：Morrow是发啥神经，最後竟然跳进来这个坑） PROJECTED LINEUP 打线预测 1. RF Ichiro Suzuki. Has 200-plus hits all eight seasons in the majors. 不动一棒 因为有8季的200安 2. SS Yuniesky Betancourt. Has 64 errors at short the past three seasons. 二棒Beta 三年来的失误高达64次 3. 2B Jose Lopez. One of few Mariners to actually improve in 2008. 三棒J-Lo 08年少数有进步的 （编按：有吗？！） 4. 3B Adrian Beltre. Had 48 HRs, 121 RBIs in his last contract year (2004). 四棒吹哥 提醒一下吹哥，合约年又到了 XD 5. DH Ken Griffey. Seattle hopes homecoming, healthy knee will spark resurgence. 五棒小葛 收门票钱的，别太早进DL阿 6. 1B Russell Branyan. Power still there; so are the gaping holes in his swing. 六棒Branyan 棒子还在，但是应该也是挥挥大队 （编按：不熟，希望有人能介绍） 7. CF Franklin Gutierrez. Hit .313 in final two months for Indians last season. 七棒 Gutierrez 08年最後在笑脸人打的不错 (编按：同上，希望介绍） 8. C Kenji Johjima. Suffered major offensive drop last season (.227 average, 7 homers). 八棒 乔治马 08年中邪 （编按：希望如此） 9. LF Endy Chavez. Excellent defender will share time with Griffey in left. 9棒Chavez 跟小葛分LF （编按：一定要抢赢小葛，小葛乖乖去蹲DH啦） PROJECTED ROTATION 轮值预测 1. RHP Felix Hernandez. Getting better every year (ignore the win totals). 期望越来越成熟的King 2. LHP Erik Bedard. Returning from September shoulder surgery. 希望北大肩伤真的好了 （编按：不然就白白浪费AJ） 3. RHP Brandon Morrow. Forearm soreness could force him to miss start of season. 应该要接三号的马肉 （编按：战前脱逃，现在轮值该不会都往前推进吧） 4. RHP Carlos Silva. Made horrible first impression in Seattle (4-15, 6.46 ERA) in 2008. 不期不待的12M 5. LHP Ryan Rowland-Smith. Battling veteran Jarrod Washburn for this spot. RRS或是洗炸弹 （编按：RRS如果连洗炸弹都赢不了，还是乖乖回去蹲3A) PROJECTED CLOSER 预计关门者 RHP Mark Lowe. Hard thrower must cut down on baserunners (78 hits, 34 walks last season) to beat out field of contenders. Lowe 要降低他的被上垒率 （编按：现在要把这只放哪？） GRADES 评价 Offense: D. The loss of outfielder Raul Ibanez will hurt. It is hard to imagine a lineup with Branyan (797 strikeouts in 2,000 career at-bats) in the middle of the order producing consistently. If many things fall into place, Seattle could finish in the middle of the pack in the A.L. in runs scored, but that isn't likely. 打击:D 椰子离开对水兵是个重伤害，除非Branyan可以扛起来，不过看来很难 Pitching: C. This grade could be an A-minus by the end of the season. Felix Hernandez is a true ace, and Erik Bedard and Brandon Morrow could be very good -- if healthy. Ryan Rowland-Smith had a 3.50 ERA in 12 career starts. The bullpen has some uncertainty, but there are enough arms to form a decent unit once roles are defined. 投手轮值：C 虽然我们有King，不过北大跟马肉还是要健健康康才行 RRS看起来还可以，但是RP会出啥包不知道 Bench: C. Seattle added infield versatility by trading for Ronny Cedeno, who can fill in at second, third and shortstop. Veterans Mike Sweeney and Chris Shelton are vying for backup time at first base and DH. Wladimir Balentien looks like the fourth outfielder. 板凳深度：C 工具人改Cedeno，1B跟DH候补 也抓来Mike Sweeney跟Shelton这两个老将 4th OF 以Balentien为主 （编按：火力有进步很多吗？） Manager: C. This grade eventually could tick upward also, but Wakamatsu is an unproven commodity. He has learned under some of the best, so there definitely is hope. Joe Maddon would have gotten this same grade when he took over in Tampa Bay, and look at him now. 教练:C 若松第一次当，是好是坏不得而知 小鱼队的Maddon刚开始也是这个评价，看看现在 (编按：有Maddon的2/3我就很偷笑） Sporting News prediction: Barring a massive run of injuries, the Mariners won't have a triple-digit loss total again. They'll still finish fourth in the A.L. West, but there will be more hope for contending in 2010 than there is this season. 最後预测: 应该不会再有三位数的败场，不过美西炉主GET 好好展望2010年才是重点 （编按：再三位数的败场，我看老任要多卖几百万台WII才够回本）[m -- 本来想早一点翻，不过忘记了 XD --
