Too Much of a Good Thing Is Resulting in Tough Choices for Torre 好物多 烦恼跟着多 By DAVID PICKER Published: August 19, 2007 1).要把这些高薪老鸟乔好，成了老托每天最头痛的问题 2).魔人每天开赛前，要作三件事： 谁最近比较烫，谁需要休息，以及考虑对方投手的硬度 3).在一些特定日子里头，大吉会先坐板凳， 有时候小卡布或是电灯炮(或是两个人一起)在那里面陪他玩大老二 4).魔人说：我们的板凳深度，差不多有马里亚纳海沟那麽深 台湾乡亲都会说"有一好没两好"，也就是双面刃的意思啦，这真的很困扰我... 5).老托接着说，当你对板凳不期不待，就不受伤害... 可是他们却又都那麽强，不让他们上场，我也粉挣扎的说. 6).唯一的好处是，可以不用把每个人都操成天天系列. 7).队长好像有心事，老托决定接下来的日子要让他休息一下，让Betemit替SS的位置， 他自从被交易到洋基来後，一垒二垒三垒都守过了， Betemit说：哈哈哈哈，捕手哦，我以前没试过耶，要是需要的话我也是可以阿. 这个内野工具人，大概只剩下捕手这个位置，就可以集满五点了 (恭喜~洒花~) 8).大门对他最近的处境也很释怀："我就把我该做的事做好，你知道的，我一向揪甘心." 9).雪丽最兴奋了，他说：连板凳名单里面都有不简单的人物，这真的很嗨.. The rules of baseball state that a team must field a pitcher and eight position players. This presents a daily problem for Manager Joe Torre, who has more than eight competent everyday players at his disposal, many of them high-salaried veterans. So before every game, Torre considers which players are hot, which ones need rest and how the opposing pitcher can be exploited. On a given day, Jason Giambi may start the game on the bench. Melky Cabrera or Andy Phillips, or both, may join him there. When the Yankees played the Detroit Tigers yesterday at Yankee Stadium, Johnny Damon was not in the starting lineup. Before yesterday’s 5-2 victory against the Tigers, Torre said that having so much depth was a double-edged sword. “When you didn’t have a bench, you didn’t have to worry about trying to keep people as sharp as you need to,” Torre said. “We have a lot of guys sitting on the bench that have been regular players. It’s important that they get their at-bats. “The advantage is, you don’t run into wearing guys out out there either. Substitute people and give guys a day off here and a day off there.” When the Yankees faced the Orioles left-hander Erik Bedard on Wednesday, Torre went with a lineup full of right-handed batters. That meant Giambi, Robinson Cano and Bobby Abreu began the day by taking a seat. Torre used Cano and Abreu as pinch-hitters later in the game. Torre said that he would like to give Derek Jeter a rest in the coming days. Wilson Betemit will probably replace Jeter at shortstop. Since being traded to the Yankees last month, Betemit has started at first base, second base and third base. Asked if he could start behind the plate if needed, Betemit laughed. “I’ve never done it, but if they need me, hey, I’ll do it,” he said. Torre said his players understood the daily predicament he faced, and that had made his job easier. Damon, who started in center field during Friday’s 6-1 victory against the Tigers, watched Cabrera start in center yesterday. “You understand we have a real tough team with a lot of good players,” Damon said. “You kind of have to just be ready. For me, it’s either playing left, center, right, first, D.H. Always up in the air. You never know what you’re doing. For me, I have to understand that.” Before every home game, the Yankees’ lineup is posted on the inside of the clubhouse door. Players sometimes find out if they are starting by looking at the white sheet of paper. The bench players are listed near the upper-right-hand corner of the sheet. Shelley Duncan’s name was on the list of bench players yesterday. He started Wednesday and hit a tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. A day later, he pinch-hit for Damon in the sixth and remained in the game. He did not play Friday. “It’s always really interesting to see this lineup,” Duncan said as he pointed to the lineup sheet, which was only a few feet from his locker. “ Every day, I look at the top-right corner and see the bench guys. There’s always one big name on there. It’s pretty fun to have a bench like that.” He added: “Being a competitor, you want to be in the game, all the time. You always do.” from:NY Times 是翻大意 不够精确请见谅:) ※ 编辑: numblife 来自: 59.116.3.82 (08/19 11:53) 恩 感谢楼上指正 已修改 (不过雪丽应该也是都有在板凳名单上吧) ※ 编辑: numblife 来自: 59.116.3.82 (08/19 13:24)
