Teixeira may be Yanks' No. 3 hitter http://tinyurl.com/b555nr TAMPA, Fla. -- At least the Yankees can scratch one Alex Rodriguez controversy off their Spring Training to-do list. It appears Mark Teixeira will bat ahead of the three-time MVP this season. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said on Wednesday that he is leaning toward slotting Teixeira third and A-Rod fourth in New York's lineup this season, believing that alternating lefties and righties in the order will frustrate opposing clubs. 总教练将把铁爷排在第三棒，第四棒是A-Rod "I went back and forth a little bit," Girardi said. "I just know from catching and managing, you hate teams that do that left-right to you. It's hard to bring in situational lefties. Obviously, [Teixeira] is a plus, because he's a switch-hitter. 铁爷的好处是他左右开攻 "If you want to bring in a righty to face Derek Jeter, you've got to decide what you want to do against Tex. It just makes it harder to navigate through our lineup and set up an opposing team's bullpen." 有了铁爷可以让对手的牛棚调度多伤点脑筋 Teixeira batted fourth behind Chipper Jones with the Braves, but after getting traded to Los Angeles, he then moved to third in front of Vladimir Guerrero with the Angels last season. Teixeira hit .358 with 13 home runs and 43 RBIs in 54 games with the Halos, and he said that Guerrero's presence gave him more opportunities to hit for power and drive in runs. 铁爷过去在勇士打第四棒，到了天使队之後打第三棒，他说因为後面有Guerrero ，让他更无後顾之忧 Teixeira expects that hitting in front of Rodriguez will be a similar experience. 所以预期在A-Rod之前上场打击也会是类似的状况 "You've got one of the best players in the history of baseball batting behind you -- I think you're going to get some good pitches to hit," Teixeira said. "I'm looking forward to that." "因为下一棒是棒球史上最好的球员之一，我想我会有更多好球可打，很期待" Girardi said that both Teixeira and Rodriguez would hit in either spot in the order, but going left-right made sense. Left-handed Johnny Damon would lead off, followed by right-handed Jeter, then the switch-hitting Teixeira and the right-handed A-Rod. Girardi说本来铁爷跟A-Rod的打序要对调也行，可是依照左(大门)─右(队长)─ 左右开攻(铁爷)─右(A-Rod)这样排更有意义 Hideki Matsui, a left-handed hitter, would likely be the No. 5 hitter, with switch-hitter Jorge Posada to follow, though Girardi said that is up for discussion depending on the spring performance and the health of both players. 左打的松井预计排在第五棒，接着是也左右开攻的齁黑，但是这还要视他俩的春训 表现而定 Girardi said that the addition of Teixeira -- beginning a eight-year, $180 million deal with New York -- changes the dynamic of the lineup. 铁爷改变了洋基队的打击动线 "It seems the Yankees have been a club that everyone wants to throw their lefties against," Girardi said. "He's a professional hitter, and he knows how to drive in runs. He knows how to run the bases, hit for average, take his walks. He's a tough at-bat -- you watch him grind things out -- and he's just a professional hitter." "总而言之，铁爷实在太棒了！" (要洒花吗？) Teixeira said that he is excited with the offensive potential of the Yankees' order. 铁爷对洋基打序能产生的破坏力很期待 "If any pitcher looks at our entire lineup, there's not any one guy you can pitch around," Teixeira said. "I'll still take my walks now and then, but it's not going to be as many as I would have had to take if I hit somewhere else in the lineup. With the guys that are hitting behind me, I'm going to get a lot of pitches to hit." "总而言之，布朗克斯炸弹客不容任何一位投手小觑，棒棒难缠的打线，将使我有 更多好球可以发挥" -- 宇宙里的微小尘埃 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/AllyDai --
