Six candidates want fifth-starter job Chico, Hernandez, Stammen among Nationals' possibilities By Bill Ladson / MLB.com 03/18/10 7:24 PM ET (以下这篇文章非常感谢Manstein和kimifort版友在错误上的校正以及提供的建议) VIERA, Fla. -- The Nationals already know who four starters will be in their rotation. Left-hander John Lannan is scheduled to be the Opening Day starter against the Phillies on April 5, while Jason Marquis, Garrett Mock and Scott Olsen are expected to get starts soon thereafter. But the Nationals still need to find out who their fifth starter will be. There are at least six candidates. 目前国民的的前四号先发可说是已经确定了。John Lannan 将排定於4/5的开幕战对上 费城人队，紧接在 Lannan 之後的是Jason Marquis，Garrett Mock以及Scott Olsen。 不过还是必须尽快决定谁是我们的第5号先发，而目前至少有6个人在竞争这个位置。 LHP Matt Chico: After missing almost two years because of elbow reconstruction, Chico has proved he is 100 percent healthy, but is that enough? When he is good, Chico can get a ton of ground-ball outs. When he's bad, he walks a lot of batters and opponents have an easy time hitting his fastball. Chico will be the first to say that he can't throw just his fastball to get by. All of his pitches have to be working to be effective. Washington has seen both sides of Chico this spring. He may have to start the season in the Minor Leagues. 1. Matt Chico： Chico 因为手肘的伤势而几乎缺席了将近两个球季的时间。虽然他再三保证目前的他 已经百分之百恢复健康，但难道这就足够了吗？当他状况好的时候能够制造出大量的 滚地球出局，但是当他状况不好的时候就很容易会投出四坏球保送打者，而对手因此 可以轻易锁定他的快速球来作攻击，如此一来他就惨了。 Chico 首先必须证明他不只是靠他的快速球来解决打者，其他的球种也必须有效发挥 才行。国民队在今年春训期间发现到Chico的状况可说是时好时坏，很遗憾他今年球季 恐怕得从小联盟开始出发了。 RHP Livan Hernandez: Most experts consider him the leading candidate to be the fifth starter, but keep in mind that he is coming off a disappointing season. Once he signed with the Nationals in late February, Hernandez had to get into pitching shape and didn't play in an exhibition game until Sunday against Cardinals. He pitched three innings, gave up one earned run and walked three batters. His next start will be Friday in an intrasquad game. 2. Livan Hernandez： 大多数的专家都认为目前他在竞争第5号先发的形势上居於领先的地位，但别忘记他才 刚度过一个令人失望的球季。在2月时他和国民队签下合约，但由於身材走样因此他必须 先恢复他的身材，上礼拜天对上圣路易红雀队是他的第一次春训出赛。投了3局丢掉1分 自责分，还保送了3名打者。他下一场的先发将会在星期五打一场intrasquad game。 intrasquad game：同一支球队的球员自行组成两支以上的球队所进行的内部对抗赛。 RHP J.D. Martin: Like Mock, Martin has pitched to contact and hasn't allowed a walk in two games. Keep in mind that he was hurt by rainouts and had to pitch on the team's Minor League field. Manager Jim Riggleman hasn't ruled out Martin being a long man out of the bullpen. 3. J.D. Martin： 跟 Mock 一样，Martin也是属於那种投给你打的投手，他在过去2场比赛都没有投过任何 四坏球保送。他在之前原本有预定出赛却碰上下雨而被迫取消，因此最後只好到小联盟 投球。这也使得他损失了一次和大联盟等级的球队交手的机会，无法证明自己的情况。 不过总教练 Jim Riggleman并没有放弃将Matrin放入牛棚作为长中继人选。 RHP Sharion Martis: His first outing of the spring might have killed his chances of making the team. On March 4, Martis gave up six runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Astros. Since then, he has pitched in two games, allowing no runs in three innings. There have been too many pitchers in camp, and Martis has spent a lot of time on the Minor League field or pitching in simulated games. 4. Sharion Martis： 他在春训的第一次出赛就可能把开季留在球队的机会给搞砸了。3/4对太空人队的比赛 他在短短1又2/3局就狂失6分，然而从那之後，他出赛过2场比赛，投了3局而且没有再 丢过分数。然而在春训期间有太多投手在竞争，因此 Martin 大多数的时间都待在 小联盟或者是投几场模拟赛。 RHP Craig Stammen: Last year, he scored a lot of points with the organization by pitching with bone chips in his right elbow. On Tuesday, Stammen helped himself even further by having his best outing of the spring, giving up two unearned runs in four innings against the Marlins. He must continue to pitch well if he wants to stay on the team. There is a possibility Stammen could be a long man out of the bullpen. Besides the one spot left in the rotation, there are only two spots to determine in the bullpen. 5. Chaig Stammen： 去年他在右手肘的地方有许多小碎骨，但仍依旧上场投球，这使得球团对他的好感度 增加不少。 这个礼拜二他出赛对上马林鱼，投了4局仅仅失掉2分非自责分，这是他在春训期间表现 最好的一次，同时也对他目前的情势也所帮助。如果他想要在开季能够留在球队阵中， 那他就必须持续拥有这样优异的表现。除了开季先发轮值只剩下一个位置之外，牛棚里 也只剩下两个位置。 RHP Stephen Strasburg: Let's admit it: The No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft has been the Nationals' best pitcher this spring, throwing five shutout innings and striking out four batters. However, it seems unlikely he will be with the team on Opening Day. General manager Mike Rizzo has a solid reputation of not rushing pitchers to the big leagues. Strasburg is scheduled to throw against a Cardinals split-squad on Friday at Space Coast Stadium. Will that be his last outing of the spring with the big club? We'll see. Keep in mind, the Nationals are expected to make their fourth round of cuts either Sunday or Monday. 6. Stephen Strasburg： 我们必须先承认一点：这位国民队在2009年所选进的状元无疑是春训表现最佳的投手。 不仅完封5局，还送出了4次三振。但就目前情况而言然，而我们应该不太可能看到 他在开幕战的时候出现在球队中。GM Mike Rizzo向来以保护年轻选手闻名，他决不 轻易让年轻的投手太早上来大联盟以免被 Rush 到。 Strasburg 被安排在星期五的双重战当中对上圣路易红雀队，这难道会是他最後一次 在春训期间和国民队的大联盟队友在一起吗？就让我们拭目以待，不过请别忘记， 国民队预计会在这个礼拜天或是下礼拜一决定第4轮的下放名单，而到时候Strasburg 说不定就是这名单中的其中一员。 split-squad games：当一支球队必须在同一天跟另外两支球队进行比赛时，会把球队 分成两队，然後各自去打其中一场比赛。 --
