It was another restless day in Yankeeland. Steinbrenner, the co-chairman of the team, spoke in a blustery way, and Cashman, the general manager, had to react. Hank Steinbrenner 对张伯伦在洋基的投球前景提出强烈看法之後,语音与电子邮件 塞爆了现金人的信箱.又给洋基带来不平静的一天.老板 Steinbrenner的发言颇有战意 迫使总经理现金人必须回应. Steinbrenner was insistent Sunday that the sluggish Yankees needed to move Chamberlain from a setup man to the rotation. Cashman, who spent the off- season deciding with his staff how the Yankees could best use Chamberlain, said Monday that Steinbrenner must wait to see Chamberlain as a starter. Steinbrenner 星期天发言坚持散漫的洋基队有必要把张伯伦从中继 setup man 调入先发 轮值.现金人季後与幕僚研究过如何最有效运用张伯伦,周一说了 Steinbrenner 想看张伯 伦先发必须再等一等. **专责於终结者上场前负担一局左右投球数的中继投手,棒球圈通称为 setup man. "We discussed this extensively this winter about how things would unravel or unfold," Cashman said. "Right now, that can't change. There's no reason for that. Hank knows that." 我们冬季对怎样解开这个事情有广泛的讨论,现金人说: 这个事情现在不能改变. 也没有理 由这麽做. Hank 也知道的. If Steinbrenner knows that is the plan, why did he speak out? Cashman did not know and did not want to speculate. But, since Steinbrenner and his brother, Hal, replaced their father, George, as the leaders of the organization, Hank has sometimes been as vocal as his demanding father used to be. Hank did not respond to a telephone message Monday while efforts to reach Hal were unsuccessful. 如果 Steinbrenner 知道这个计划,那为何还要公开发言? 现金人不知道也不想妄加猜测. Steinbrenner 跟他的兄弟 Hal 从父亲 George 接手成为集团领导人之後, Hank 有时候 跟他那凡事苛求的老爸一样喜欢发言. Hank 没有回应周一给他的电话留言,同时我们也没 有联络上 Hal. When reporters call Hank steinbrenner's cellphone, he usually answers and often has something provocative to say. When Steinbrenner was contacted Sunday, it took him a few sentences to contradict months of preparation regarding Chamberlain. 记者打手机给 Hank Steinbrenner 时他通常都会回答,也经常会有挑动性的话题. 星期天 电话连络时,他只用几句话就推翻了数个月来对张伯伦的准备计画. "I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him, and that is what we are working toward and we need him now," Steinbrenner said. "there is no question about it, you don't have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don't do that. You have to be an idiot to do that." "我要他先发,所有人都这样想,包括张伯伦他自己,这也是我们努力的方向,但我们现在就 需要他. Steinbrenner 说: 那是毫无疑问的,你不会让一个有一百哩速球的投手去当布局 投手,除非白痴,没有人会这样做. After reading Steinbrenner's comments, Cashman Decided to focus on the part in which he said the Yankees were working toward moving Chamberlain. 看过 Steinbrenner 的评论後,现金人决定回应焦点放在 "洋基致力於转调张伯伦先发"上. "He said there are plans for this and we're working toward this," Cashman said. "I suppose he understands that we're following that plan. "他说我们有转调的计划,也朝这方向努力,"现金人说:我想他了解我们是照计划进行中." For Cashman, who has worked for the Yankees since 1986 and has been their general manager since 1998, the smoothest way to survive a distraction is to diffuse it and move forwand. Cashman was relaxed and rational as he described how the Yankees had organizational meetings in which it was "fully explained" how Chamberlain would be used. When Cashman was asked if Hank Steinbrenner attended them, he declined to say. 从1986年开始效力洋基队,并自1998开始担任总经理,现金人平顺度过分歧的方法就是驱散 然後继续前进,他轻松有条理的详述洋基的集团会议中对张伯伦的运用计划已有详尽的解 释.有人问现金人 Hank Steinbrenner 有出席这些会议吗,现金人婉拒回应. During Joe Torre's last 10 years as Yankees manager, he repeatedly said Cashman had the most difficult job in baseball. It was Cashman, not Torre, who typically fielded calls from George Steinbrenner. It was Cashman, not Torre, who usually had to hear Steinbrenner complain after a losing streak. 托瑞担任洋基总教练十年期间说过很多次,现金人的工作是棒球界中最难做的,他必须接受 George Steinbrenner 典型的电话轰炸,而不是托瑞.遇到连败,通常听老板牢骚的也是现 金人,不会是托瑞. Now Cashman is working for another passionate steinbrenner. Since Cashman is in the last year of a three-year, $5.5 million contract, it is logical to understand why he wanted to work with Hank and Hal for part of this season before deciding his future. The Yankees approached Cashman about signing an extension last December, but Cashman said he preferred to wait. Cashman would not say how Hank Steinbrenner's penchant for rash commentary could influence his future with the team. 现金人现在为另一个性情多变的 Steinbrenner 家人工作,处於三年五百五十万合约的最 终年,不难理解他为何想跟 Hank 与 Hal 先合作部份球季,再来决定自己的前途.洋基去年 十二月就找他签展期契约,但现金人表示宁愿再等等. 他没有说明 Hank Steinbrenner 这 种喜欢轻率评论的习惯会不会影像他继续效力洋基队. "I'm not commenting on anything else about Hank's comments, other than to explain that we have a plan in place and we're following it," Cashman said. 我不是针对 Hank 的评论提出任何看法,只是就此事件解释,我们已有计划并照计划进行中. But, later, Cashman, who said he had not spoken with Hank Steinbrenner as of Monday afternoon, offered a hint about how he has coped with distractions in the Bronx. 现金人表示到周一午後都没有与 Hank Steinbrenner 谈过话,不过随後他谈到如何处里洋 基的分歧. "My best advice to anybody in pressure situation is to keep thing simple and not get caught up in things like this," Cashman said "Quite simply, all I'm interested in is what is best for the New York Yankees. Whether that includes me or not in the future, I don't get comsumed by that." 我能给大家最好的建议就是,在压力的情境中要保持事情的单纯性,不要让自己卷入其中," 现金人说: 很简单,我关心的是怎样会对纽约洋基队最好,不管将来我在不在其中,我不会 让自己被卷进去消耗殆尽. Cashman reiterated that Chamberlain will be moved into the rotation, but he would not say when. The Yankees are limiting Chamberlain's innings to about 140, so he began 2008 in the bullpen. Even though Phil Hughes (0-3 8.82 earned run average) and Ian Kennedy (0-2, 9.64) have struggled, Cashman said he expected their "growing pains" and stressed that was no reason to abandon the Yankees' plan. 现金人重申会让张伯伦转调先发轮值,但他没有说出时间. 洋基限制张伯伦的局数是140局, 所以2008开始先让他待在牛棚. 虽然 Phil Hughes (零胜三负 ERA 8.82)与 Ian Kennedy (零胜两负 ERA 9.64)浮浮沉沉,现金人说他可以预见他们成长的苦痛,但强调没有理由因 此放弃洋基原先的计划. Hank Steinbrenner said the Yankees made a mistake by shifting Chamberlain to the bullpen "out of panic or whatever" last season, but Cashman offered a different view. When Chamberlain, a starter in the minors, was promoted last August, Cashman said the team allotted him 35 more innings for 2007. Therefore, Cashman said, the best way to use Chamberlain effectively and protect him was by making him a reliever. Chamberlain was 2-0 with a 0.38 E.R.A. in 24 innings. Hank Steinbrenner 早先说洋基上一个球季基於恐慌或什麽因素把张伯伦转入牛棚是个错 误,现金人提出不同的观点.去年八月当张伯伦从小联盟升上大联盟时,球团分配给他的2007 年局数是35个. 因此最有效的运用张伯伦又能保护他的方法,就是让他担任救援. 张伯伦 投了24局,两胜零负 ERA 0.38 "We believe in preparation and protection," Cashman said. "We acquired an asset. We're protecting that asset." 我们相信准备与保护,现金人说: 我们得到一个资产,我们要保护这个资产. --
