◎Being Robbed？ 基本上不是Baker自己的建议文喔。 http://0rz.tw/c59AP Earlier today, I outlined a series of potential trades and free agent signings the Mariners might pursue on the bigger end of the spectrum if they want to make an impact. But I’ve also been told that the Mariners, in weeks leading up to these meetings, have had talks with the Pittsburgh Pirates concerning first baseman/right fielder Garrett Jones. Now, let me repeat: this is just one of many conversations the Mariners have had with various teams, but I’m told it got beyond the mere single phone call/hang up and that some actual names were bandied about between the squads. 当然消息来源是不确定的，也有可能是来自球队高层，但确实有跟海盗谈过，或许是 问问看 Garrett Jones 是不是可以卖，然後海盗提出这样的 counter offer 也未可 知，Z 应该知道我们不需要特别补牛，但海盗想卖 Hanrahan 很久了，现在跟他谈到 交易，对方不把他包进去一起谈实在也很奇怪。 当然这笔交易水手阵营不会有任何人喜欢，Jones相较於Jaso 根本就不算升级，有啦 ，薪水升了一级。 不过从洽询能守一垒跟外野的Jones 来看，Z 的头脑还没有坏掉，这是正确的补强方 向，所以之前 Napoli 与 Martin 应该顶多是有兴趣但不会死心踏地去追，这是好事 。但往坏的方向去想，他老大又不打算花钱签 FA 了，难不成真的是一朝被腿姬咬， 十年不砸钱？ ◎Behind the Plate 至於捕手，我们其实也不是完全不缺，特别是 Montero 要往 DH 方向发展，Z想要的 捕手长这样： “Right now, we’ll have Montero and Jaso catch,” Zduriencik said. “Both guys have their skill set they bring to the table. Neither guy is what you would call a defensive receiver. Both of them are offensive catchers. We’ll have our ears open certainly to see how the right type of catcher would fit. You don’t want to take away their ABs right now just for a defensive catcher. Our needs are, quite frankly, offense. But I do think we have to address a defensive possibility if it exists.”（http://0rz.tw/BZOlc） 对我来说这个方向也是对的，找个便宜又不会吵先发的替补捕手，然後顺道逼 Wedge 让 Jaso 先发主战，Montero 偶尔代个班，大家一起引颈期盼Zunino。 与海盗的这笔交易应该就是这样了，套句这两天新闻热点蒋部长的话，『如果有这些 作为，应该就不要往下发展了』，但如果真的给他谈成，我会马上喊他猪头Z叫他滚。 ◎Billy Butler 当然也是最近常出现的名字，USSM 有篇文章提到 Butler is not a good fit，大家 参考参考。 http://www.ussmariner.com/2012/12/03/a-few-words-on-billy-butler/ --
