SEATTLE -- There is still a feeling around baseball that it is a matter of when, not if, Cliff Lee will become a Yankee. 棒球界还是认为, Cliff Lee穿上洋基球衣只是早晚的问题 The Yankees just missed out on Lee on Friday as he was shipped to Texas, but the in-bankruptcy Rangers acquiring Lee assures he will become a free agent. 洋基在星期五没拿到Lee, 因为他去德州了, 但是Rangers的破产 状态让Lee确定会在季末成为 free agent The Rangers are renting Lee. The Yankees will look to buy. The Yankees will have one more postseason in which they could possibly face Lee, but then the expectation around baseball is he likely will sign as a Yankee during free agency. 条子只是把Lee换来用几个月,洋基确是想要把Lee买下来 洋基有可能再一次在季後赛遇到Lee, 但棒球界都认为 他很可能会在成为自由人後和Yankees签约. On Friday, Lee guarded his hand, but he knows the situation very well. The Yankees can offer the most money, and Lee has been told good things about the organization by his buddies CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett. You can do the math. 洋基将会是最能提出Lee会喜欢的合约的球队,加上 CC 和 AJ跟和Lee是好朋友, 他们跟Lee说在NY投球很好玩 There were times Friday when Lee thought he had found his home. He called Sabathia to see what he had heard. Sabathia told Lee that coaches Dave Eiland and Mike Harkey had asked about Lee's background. On Friday afternoon -- when the Yankees were in the driver's seat -- Lee and Sabathiahad lunch together while their wives plotted on where the Lees should live. 在条子拦胡前, Lee以为NY已经是他的新家. 他打电话给 CC,问说他有没有听到什麽风声. CC告诉Lee说, 投手教练 Dave Eliland和 BP教练 Mike Harkey有问CC Lee的背景. 当天下午 Lee和 CC一起午餐, Lee的老婆问 CC的老婆纽约 住哪比较好. Lee sat back and watched "SportsCenter," seeing the reports he could be going to the Yankees. He texted Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik and asked whether he would pitch against the Yankees on Friday night. Lee was told to stay by his phone. When it finally rang, he thought he might be heading to the road clubhouse at Safeco to become a Yankee. "It seemed like it nearly happened," Lee said. Lee回家後看着ESPN的 Sports Center, 消息都是他将去 NYY. 他传简讯给水手GM Jack Zduriencik问说他晚上会不会上场 投球. Jack跟他说等电话. 当电话终於响了, 他想说他要直接 走进客场休息室并成为洋基的一员了. Lee说 "看起来剧本应该是这样的说" Although Zduriencik denied it, it felt like the Yankees were used so Texas would include first baseman Justin Smoak in the deal. In the end, Seattle said Yankees second-base prospect David Adams was injured. 虽然Seattle GM否认, 但看起来洋基被婊了, 水手用洋基的offer 去跟别队寻价,让Texas加码一垒手 Justin Smoak. 然後跟洋基说 都是因为你们的二垒鱼 David Adams是伤兵呀 (Cashman: 他五月就 伤了呀, 还是你们自己说要他的哩! {翻桌}) There is fallout from the Yankees' failure to land Lee now. There is still a feeling Phil Hughes, an All-Star, could eventually be the Yankees' answer in the bullpen. It confirms what was assumed, that Javy Vazquez certainly will be one-and-done in pinstripes. It shows that a year and a half into Burnett's stay, the Yankees don't fully trust him. 这段讲说要换Lee来可能会让队上某些先发心理怪怪的. 也说明NYY明年 不会续约 Vazquez, 还有Yankees不能完全信认 AJ Manager Joe Girardi, who avoided specifics, said he will get a pulse of how those guys will react to the fact the Yankees were trying to add a sixth starter to their team. Giradi说他这阵子会观查看看这些球员的反应 "Anytime you add a player, there is always a trickle-down effect," Girardi said. For the Yankees, it also reveals a willingness to give up on Jesus Montero. A baseball official with knowledge of the Yankees' thinking told ESPNNewYork.com that the team views Montero as a plus-hitter and thinks he has improved his catching skills -- although he still needs some work on, among other things, his accuracy on throws to second. He does have a powerful arm. 这也证明Montero不是untradable. Yankees跟 ESPN说 他们认为 Montero是根大棒子,在捕手这位子也进步很多 臂力很强 The Yankees also really like Double-A prospect Austin Romine and project him to be possibly a .275, 20-homer catcher one day. Yankees也很喜欢 Austin Romine, 认为他会在大联盟 成为一个 .275 20HR的补手 Even if Montero ends up being a monster player, it wouldn't be with the Yankees for a few more years and it is unclear where he would play if he remained in the organization. While the Yankees say the 20-year-old has improved as a catcher, he likely isn't ready to take over for Jorge Posada any time soon. Monetro can't move to first base because of Mark Teixeira, and they don't want to clog the DH rotation. 就算Montero未来会是一个怪物级打者,他还是需要几年时间的雕琢. 也不确定为来洋基会不会有他的位子. 就算洋基说他在捕手的位子 上有进步了, 他也不太可能在近期能取代波波. 如果他不能蹲,他 也不可能守一垒,因为一垒已经有 Teixeira了, 而洋基不会让 Montero当专业DH. It is a sign of respect for Montero's potential that he could have been dealt for Lee. Now, Montero remains with the Yankees and -- who knows? -- one day, he could be catching Lee. 对Montero来说,用他来当交易Lee的饵是对他的潜力的一种肯定. 但,现在 Montero留下来了, 谁知道, 也许过两年来还会 蹲捕Lee呢. The Sabathias may already be picking out the neighborhood for the Lees to move in. "Hopefully, we can get him next year," Sabathia said. CC和老婆也许已经帮Lee选好要在NY住哪一区了. CC说 "希望我们明年能拿下他"(不要让我做白工呀!!!!!) For now, Lee is heading to Texas, traded for the third time in the past year. He knows, though, his next move will be on his terms. "I think this will be the last time I will have to do this for awhile," Lee said. He gets to pick his next team, and all signs point to the Bronx. 目前来说,Lee将飞到德州, 一年内第三次被trade. 他知道下一次般家应该是签好约後. Lee说 "希望不会再被换来换去了" 因为, 他将可以选一队自己喜欢的队伍加入 http://sports.espn.go.com/newyork/mlb/news/story?id=5367977 --
