翻译Buster Olney的文章： New Yankees manager Aaron Boone has acknowledged that in the aftermath of the trade for Giancarlo Stanton, he’s had fun thinking about the different lineup variations he might consider. The Yankees haven’t completely filled in their infield, but no matter who is installed at second base and who plays third, B oone’s lineup will be loaded with power, and hitters who get on base consiste ntly. The Yankees should have some speed, if not necessarily high stolen-base capability. 温总欸Aaron Boone在Stanton来了之後，就开始考虑各种可能的打击棒次。虽说洋基的内 野人选还悬而未决，但是Boone的打线一定是一堆炮手、一堆有着高上垒率的炮手组成的 。洋基或许会需要一些速度上的加持，不一定是要有着高盗垒能力的球员。 Boone could hit Aaron Judge back-to-back with Stanton, third and fourth, or se cond and third. He could split them up. Inevitably, as the Yankees go through hot streaks and slumps, the batting order will change, sometimes dramatically. Boone可以把法官和Stanton放在接连两棒，或34、或23。他也可以在他们中间安插一两位 队友。不可避免地是，当季中打线遭遇低潮的时候，棒次的调整是早晚的事，有时则是出 人意料的。 But Boone should think about doing something that will seem incredibly unconve ntional: He should jot down Judge's name in the leadoff spot. 但是Boone应该考虑尝试一些非传统的作法：他应该把法官放在第一棒当开路先锋。 Judge would not look the part, for sure; historically, leadoff hitters have of ten been smallish, pesky hitters. At 6-foot-7 and 282 pounds, Judge is the big gest position player in baseball history. 法官怎麽看都不像是个开路先锋。传统观念上的开路先锋总是小小只的难缠的打者。身为 一个身高6尺7寸、体重282磅的球员，法官是棒球史上最大只的野手。 But Judge can bat leadoff because he has the primary skill of the best No. 1 h itters: He gets on base a whole lot. Judge drew 127 walks, easily leading the American League and breaking Ted Williams' 78-year-old record for a rookie, an d only Mike Trout had a higher on-base percentage than Judge’s .422. 但是法官可以成为一名开路先锋，因为他有着一个菁英第一棒打者该有的特质：他的上垒 率极高。上赛季法官被保送127次，轻松领先全美联并且打破了Ted Williams高悬78年的 菜鸟年纪录。并且只有Mike Trout有着比他的.422更高的上垒率。 Judge also led the AL in strikeouts, with 208, and between his combination of walks and strikeouts, he averaged 4.41 pitches per plate appearance, the most in the AL. Managers often prefer to have hitters who see a lot of pitches near the top of the batting order, so that the batters who follow can watch the op posing pitcher work and learn -- about what the pitcher is throwing, what he i s commanding, how he is attacking hitters. 法官也在吞K方面傲视群雄，被K了208次。而法官平均下来每个AB会花掉投手4.41球，这 是美联最多的。总欸总是喜欢把每个打席看比较多球的球员放在前段棒次。这样後段棒次 的球员就有更多机会看今天这个敌队投手的球路以及状况等等。 Judge, an excellent athlete, is a good if unspectacular baserunner, ranking 78 th among 144 qualified hitters in Fangraphs’ baserunning metric. He’s big, b ut he’s not a base-clogger. 法官是一个极好的运动员，虽说跑垒方面并不到顶尖。在144名球员当中法官的跑垒能力 是被排在第78位的。虽说他很大只，但是他在跑垒这方面绝对不碍事。 Judge led the AL in home runs last season, and in prior generations, no manage r would consider batting a prolific slugger in the leadoff spot. But the Yanke es, like so many other teams, make decisions built on statistical analysis, an d there are a lot of numbers that would support the logic of having Judge bat leadoff -- especially because the Yankees have other hitters capable of genera ting power in the middle of the lineup. 法官去年在红不让数量上也是无人能敌。按照之前的观念，没有哪个总欸会考虑把这个高 产能的球员放在第一棒。但是洋基和其他很多球队一样，都是看数据来做事的。而很多数 据都显示把法官放在第一棒是很有逻辑的。尤其因为在中心棒次还有其他人能够carry。 Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that Todd Frazier is re-signed, and Gleyb er Torres wins the second base job in spring training. This is what the Yankee s’ lineup could look like: RF Judge right-handed hitter LF Brett Gardner left-handed hitter DH Stanton RH 1B Greg Bird LH C Gary Sanchez RH SS Didi Gregorius LH CF Aaron Hicks switch-hitter 3B Frazier RH 2B Torres RH 现在我们来假设，虽说还有争议，洋基签回陶爸，Torres在开幕战赢得2B先发，洋基的先 发打序看起来应该是这样的： 1. 法官（R） 2. 园丁（L） 3. PR99（R） 4.鸟哥（L） 5. 374（R） 6. Didi（L） 7. Hicks（S） 8. 陶爸（R） 9. Torres（R） Gardner could hit second, where his tendency to foul off pitches and take walk s could stress the starting pitcher even more; Gardner ranked seventh in the A merican League in pitches per plate appearance, at 4.23, not far behind Judge. It might be that the opposing pitcher would throw 10 to 12 pitches to Judge a nd Gardner at the outset of the game, lots of information for Stanton, Bird an d the other hitters that followed. Or maybe Gardner could hit ninth, breaking up the line of right-handed batters leading into Judge and discouraging opposi ng managers from calling on a right-handed reliever for that part of the Yanke es’ lineup. 园丁可以打第二棒，因为他难缠的特质会让先发投手更加劳累。园丁平均每AB消耗对方投 手的球数是4.23，排名美联第7，和法官相去不远。对方先发投手很有可能在比赛一开始 面对法官&园丁就丢超过10球了，这对於PR99来说已经是非常多的讯息了，跟不用说後面 还有鸟哥、374、Didi等人虎视眈眈。又或者可以把园丁放在最後一棒，让後段棒次跟前 段棒次不要连续太多右打。这样才不会让对方总欸在比赛後段轻易派出右手牛。 Gregorius could hit cleanup, a spot he occupied for 164 at-bats during the reg ular season and more in the postseason. If Bird progresses as the Yankees anti cipate, he could bat fourth and be in position to take advantage of the numero us RBI opportunities in that spot. Didi也可以扛第4棒，一个他去年花了164个AB的棒次，尤其是在季後赛。如果鸟哥的发挥 如洋基预期的话，他也可以扛下第四棒，一个可以搜刮满山满谷RBI的大好位置。 Stanton averaged 3.95 pitches per plate appearance last season, more than aver age, and Bird averaged 4.26 pitches, which would have ranked among the league leaders if he had enough plate appearances. Starting pitchers will probably ha ve a lot of trouble keeping their pitch counts under control early, given the tendency of the Yankees’ hitters to go into deep counts. PR99平均每AB消耗对方投手3.95球，这比联盟平均要高。而鸟哥则是4.26，要是他AB够多 的话也会在联盟中名列前茅。对方先发投手很难在比赛前段压低球数，因为洋基打者都有 着消耗投手大量球数的特质。 And if Judge bats first, there would be the potential for the instant ambush o f the opposing pitcher, who would be under pressure immediately. If you make a mistake to Judge, and the Yankees would have a quick run on the board; if you pitched carefully, he might take a walk and set up the rest of the inning, wi th Stanton looming in the middle of the order. 而且要是法官打第一棒，那麽对於对方投手来说就有着一开场就必须面临的压力了。如果 面对法官犯错，洋基可能很快就会得分。如果投得太过小心，可能会保送他为一个得分大 局定调，因为後面还有PR99在等着呢。 No wonder Boone was smiling as Stanton stood next to him on a podium the other day in a Yankees jersey. He’ll have a lot of great options with his batting order, and leading off Judge could be the best. 所以说在欢迎PR99的记者会那天，温总欸Boone脸上的笑容很就不那麽令人费解了。他将 会有许多安排棒次的选择，而把法官放在第一棒或许是最棒的一个选择！ 怎麽放都好可怕......对面投手快陶啊！！！ --
