05/01/2008 7:15 PM ET Yankees put Duncan in cleanup spot Girardi makes effort to break up lefties in lineup with A-Rod out 洋基把Duncan放第四棒 - 在A-Rod缺席时Girardi努力分开阵中的左打群 By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com http://0rz.tw/1744X NEW YORK -- Shelley Duncan didn't exactly do a double take when the Yankees posted a lineup card showing him as the cleanup hitter, but it was a reminder of just who the batting order was missing. 当洋基公布打线卡，上面显示Duncan排在第四棒时，Duncan并没有再次确认这样的 打线安排。 With Alex Rodriguez sidelined for at least two weeks with a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps, Duncan assumed duties batting No. 4 in the Yankees' lineup on Thursday against Tigers left-hander Nate Robertson. A-Rod因拉伤四头肌必须缺席至少两周。当周四洋基对上老虎队左投Robertson时， Duncan被赋予第四打席的责任。 "I'm just trying to break up some of our lefties," manager Joe Girardi said. "Alex is a hard guy to replace. Shelley has hit left-handers in his career pretty well and Shelley played pretty well down at Triple-A. We're just trying to break it up so it's not so easy for them to bring in their lefties." 「我正试着把左打们分开。」教练Girardi说。「A-Rod很难取代，Duncan在生涯中对 左投表现相当不错，而且他在3A表现很好。我们正在把左打分开，因此当对手派左投 对付我们时，事情不会那麽如他们所愿。」 Duncan is 1-for-8 with three runs scored, a double and four walks in three games since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, where he was hitting .309 with six home runs and 17 RBIs after being sent to the Minors on April 9. 自从周六从3A被拉上来，在三场比赛内，Duncan交出八打席一安打、跑回三分， 并有一支二垒打和四个保送。从4/29被送回3A以来，他的打击率是0.309、六支HR、 17分打点。 He may have electrified New York with an impressive power display upon his callup last season, bashing seven homers in 74 at-bats, but the 28-year-old said he had no illusions about doing his best A-Rod impression, taking his first career big league start in the cleanup spot. 上一季首次升上大联盟时，他也许已用令人印象深刻的威力振奋纽约─在74打席内交出 7支HR，但是这个28岁的打者说他没有幻想要在A-Rod的位置上努力，在第一场大联盟 先发就打第四棒。 "There is no one in the world who can replace Alex," Duncan said. "Growing up all through the Minors, I hit fourth where it always felt real comfortable for me there. It's pretty neat." 「这个世上没人能取代A-Rod。」Duncan说，「我在小联盟成长，在一个总是让人舒服的 地方打第四棒，我已经很熟练了。」 Having the defending American League MVP on the disabled list has created an unfortunate set of new challenges, Girardi said. Girardi说，美联MVP进DL这个事情已经造成一连串歹运下的新挑战。 "You do see how it's a little different trying to create your lineup when you don't have that guy you can pencil in the same spot every day," Girardi said. "That's the easiest thing for a manager." 「当失你去一个可以每天写在打线名单上的人，你的确了解到创造一份自己的名单跟 使用既有名单这件事并没有太大不同。」Girardi说，「这对教练而言是最简单的。」 Bryan Hoch is a reporter for MLB.com.
