http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/sports/baseball/23pins.html?ref=baseball Chamberlain Prefers to Be a Pitcher, Period 张伯伦只愿当投手 By TYLER KEPNER Published: April 23, 2008 CHICAGO — When reporters asked Joba Chamberlain on Tuesday if he preferred to be a starter or a reliever, Chamberlain answered: “A pitcher. I honestly don’t care.” If that is true, he may be the only one. 周二记者问张伯伦他比较想当先发还是救援,张伯伦说: 做个投手,我真的不在乎这些. 如果他说的是真话,他可能是唯一不在意的. Chamberlain is a reliever, but the Yankees’ front office — especially the co- chairman Hank Steinbrenner — expects him to be a starter in the future. 张伯伦是个救援投手,不过洋基高层,尤其老板之一 Hank Steinbrenner 希望他将来能转 任先发. A day after Steinbrenner strongly voiced that opinion, Manager Joe Girardi refused to articulate how the shift would happen. 在 Steinbrenner 重炮发言一天之後,总教练 Joe Girardi 拒绝说明何时会转调. "I’m not trying to be rude, but all I’m going to say is we have a plan in place for Joba, and we’re sticking to our plan,” Girardi said. “He's in our bullpen today. I’m not concerned about two weeks from now or six weeks from now.” 我不想无礼,我要说的是,对张伯伦我们是有计划的,并且会坚守这个计划.他现在是我们的 牛棚投手.两周或六周後的事情不是我关心的. The Yankees do not want Chamberlain to exceed 140 innings or so this season, and if he had started from the beginning of the season and averaged six innings per start, he would probably reach his limit in August. 洋基不想让张伯伦本球季投球局数超过140局,如果他从球季开始就先发,每场球平均六局 来算,到八月可能就会超过他的局数限制了. Opening the year as a reliever limits his innings and leaves open the option of starting later in the year, but Girardi would not say if Chamberlain would need a minor league stint to prepare for that. Girardi’s most revealing answer suggested that Chamberlain would not be converted if the Yankees’ five starters were all pitching well. 球季初让他担任救援,限制他的投球局数,可以保留往後他转任先发的空间,但 Girardi 没 有说明张伯伦是否用球需像在小联盟那样精简才有机会.他最有暗示性的回答意味着,如果 五位先发投手表现良好,张伯伦就不会转调了. “If you’ve got five starters who have 10 wins on June 1, you’re asking me to speculate on something I’m not going to speculate on,” he said. 如果五位先发六月一日得到十胜,你是要求我揣测我不想揣测的事情. Chamberlain, whose friends called him on Monday to ask about Steinbrenner’s comments, knows one thing for certain. “It’s going to be a never-ending topic until something happens or something doesn’t happen,” he said. 周一朋友打电话问他对於 Steinbrenner 评论的看法,张伯伦说: 这个话题一定会没完没了 直到事情确定发生或不发生为止. MUSSINA ANSWERS A CRITIC Mike Mussina was a teammate of Jamie Moyer’s for three years in the 1990s, but it never occurred to him to mimic Moyer’s style of pitching. “I don’t have a lefty glove,” Mussina said. Mussina回应批评--- Mussina 与 Jamie Moyer 九零年代共事过三年,但他从来没想过要 模仿 Moyer 的投球风格. Mussina 说: 我没有左撇子专用手套. Mussina was responding to Hank Steinbrenner’s suggestion that he pitch more like Moyer, the 45-year-old left-handed changeup specialist for the Phillies. Mussina did not know of Steinbrenner’s comment until reporters told him on Tuesday, but he said Steinbrenner could say whatever he wanted. Mussina 是在回应 Hank Steinbrenner 的建议,说他投球要多向费城人队45岁擅长变速球 的左投 Moyer 看齐, Mussina 直到周二记者告诉他才知道 Steinbrenner 有这个评论, 但他说, Steinbrenner 想怎麽说都可以. “I’ve never thrown the way Joba throws,” Mussina said. “I’ve never had that ability. But 18 years later, I’m still standing here. I figured something out. I hope 18 years from now, Joba’s still standing here, too.” Mussina 说: 我没有像张伯伦那样投过球,我从来没有那个能力.但是十八年後,我依然站 在这里.我想出自己的方法.我希望十八年後张伯伦也可以依旧站在这里. Mussina is 1-3 with a 5.75 earned run average in four starts, but he said most of the damage has come from Manny Ramirez of the Red Sox, who do not face the Yankees again until July. Mussina 四场先发一胜三负 ERA 5.75,他说伤害主要来自红袜队的 Manny Ramirez, 洋基 七月才会跟他再碰头. “If you believe you're going to go out and pitch well 32 times, you're kidding yourself,” Mussina said. “That’s not going to happen. I was satisfied with my first three games, and I was really satisfied if you take Manny out of that third game. Since Manny came up, now everything changes? He messed up someone else’s series right after they left New York. He’s a really good player. Maybe we just have to figure out what to do different with him. But we've got a lot of baseball between now and July.” Mussina 说:如果你认为投三十二场球都会有好表现,那是开自己玩笑,不可能的. 我对自己 前三场的表现满意,如果把 Manny 从第三场球赛剔除我会更满意. Manny 一出现,什麽都改 变了? 他一离开纽约之後也搞坏了其他人的系列赛,他真是个好球员. 也许我们应该想其他 方法来对付他. 但七月到来之前,我们还有很多球赛要打. A DAUGHTER FOR RODRIGUEZ Alex Rodriguez expected to rejoin the Yankees on Thursday, after the birth of his second daughter on Monday night in Miami. Rodriguez did not release the name of the baby, who was 7 pounds 2 ounces. A-Rod 第二个女儿周一晚在迈阿密诞生,重七磅二盎司,他没有发布女儿名字,他可望周四 返回洋基. “We are thrilled with the birth of our second daughter and the blessing of having two healthy, beautiful children in our lives,” he said in a statement. 他说: 我们很高兴二女儿的降临,也感恩在我们的生命中赐给我们两个健康美丽的小孩. Rodriguez injured his right quadriceps muscle on Sunday, and Joe Girardi said he did not expect Rodriguez to play before Thursday. Derek Jeter missed six games this month with a left quadriceps strain. Rodriguez 周日右边四头肌受伤了, Joe Girardi 周四之前不会让他上场. Derek Jeter 本月也因左边四头肌拉伤停赛过六场球. “We just have to see how treatments go and how he responds to it,” Girardi said. “It's similar to Derek. The one thing you can't do is rush him and lose him for a long time. We’ll make that evaluation Thursday on where he’s at. We don’t want to D.L. him if he can come back in five or six days.” Girardi 说: 我们必须视治疗的情况与他身体的反应来决定,他的情况跟 Jeter 相似.绝 对不可操之过急,反而需要更久来养伤.周四我们会评估状况,如果五六天之内他能归队, 我们不想把他列入伤兵名单. Without Rodriguez, the Yankees’ bench Tuesday included two backup catchers and infielder Alberto Gonzalez. Rodriguez 缺席, 周二出赛名单加入两名备用捕手,一名内野手 Alberto Gonzalez With Jorge Posada catching again, the Yankees would seem poised to drop one of the catchers, Chad Moeller, though Moeller is out of minor league options. Jorge Posada 再任捕手之後,为了平衡,洋基将会剔除一名捕手 Chad Moeller, 尽管 Moeller 小联盟的 option 年份已经用完了. After making three throws to second base during early practice, Posada started at catcher for the first time in two weeks. He has a small tear in the subscapularis muscle in his shoulder, but said the layoff had helped. 早先练习时传了三次球到二垒, Posada 停了两周之後首次回任捕手,他因肩胛下肌轻微 裂伤停赛,他说这段停赛很有帮助. “I’m happy they really took the time to make sure everything was fine and gave me all the time in the world to get back,” Posada said. “I appreciate that.” Posada 说: 我很高兴他们用心保持球队情况良好,让我能安心疗伤早日归队,我很感激. --
