虽然标题那样写， 其实内容几乎都还是在谈明年各位置安排， 不只是投手部份而已。 http://0rz.tw/LmzfV After Rizzo decides on new skipper, roster will take shape By Bill Ladson / MLB.com | 9/30/2013 1:08 P.M. ET WASHINGTON -- Dating back to Aug. 9 until the end of the 2013 season, the Nationals owned the best record in baseball, going 32-16. But it wasn't enough to help them go to the postseason. 　 从8/9到2013正规球季结束为止国民打出32-16的联盟最佳战绩， 但这并不足以帮助他们打进季後赛。 Injuries, lack of offense in the first half of the season and not having quality lefties in the bullpen were the reasons the Nationals struggled this season. Missing Bryce Harper for more than a month because of a left knee injury was a big blow. He was the guy they missed in the middle of the order. 受到伤痛与贫弱的攻击能力影响的上半季， 与牛棚里缺少够水准的左投等都是国民本季陷入挣扎的原因。 Bryce Harper因左膝休战一个多月是很重的打击， 他是中心打线里的重要支柱。 Now, general manager Mike Rizzo starts the offseason looking for a manager to replace Davey Johnson, who retired after Sunday's game. It wouldn't come as a surprise if Rizzo names a skipper after the World Series. Randy Knorr, Trent Jewett and Matt Williams are managerial candidates. 而现在GM Mike Rizzo在季後第一个开始的工作， 是寻找Davey Johnson退休後的顶替者。 如果Rizzo在世界大赛後就宣布人选也别意外。 Randy Knorr，Trent Jewett，与Matt Williams都是候选人。 "The manager is going to have an input on what we do with the roster," Rizzo said. Rizzo这句直翻会看不懂他在说什麽，所以把访问的前後文抓出来一起看。 就翻下面这段会比较清楚： That’s probably job No. 1, because a manager is going to have input on what we do with the roster construction and that type of thing. 找到总教练的接任人这可能是首要工作， 因为我们对球队的构筑想法或其他类似的事都必须要有教练的加入。 Once they find their manager, the Nationals must fix a couple of things. They need some lefties out of the bullpen. Letting Tom Gorzelanny and Michael Gonzalez go after the 2012 season turned out to be a big mistake. 一旦找到总教练国民也还有好些个问题得解决。 他们需要一些左手牛， 去年季後让Tom Gorzelanny跟Michael Gonzalez是个大错。 Washington must improve its bench. Steve Lombardozzi was the only productive player when it came to pinch-hitting appearances. 华盛顿也要提升板凳。 Steve Lombardozzi是唯一一个在代打时能有所发挥的球员。 It must fix the back end of the rotation. The team may not need to go out and find a veteran pitcher to help the young pitching staff. It will be interesting to see what the Nationals do during the offseason. 需要整理的还有後段轮值。 球队也许不用向外寻找老将来帮助年轻投手群， 观察国民在季後有哪些动作将会相当有趣。 Arbitration-eligible: Left-hander pitcher Ross Detwiler, shortstop Ian Desmond, right-hander Tyler Clippard, right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, right-hander Ross Ohlendorf, catcher Wilson Ramos, right-hander Stephen Strasburg, right-hander Drew Storen 符合仲裁条件的球员： 左投Ross Detwiler，游击手Ian Desmond，右投Tyler Clippard， 右投Jordan Zimmermann，右投Ross Ohlendorf，捕手Wilson Ramos， 右投Stephen Strasburg，右投Drew Storen。 Free agents: Right-hander Dan Haren, infielder Chad Tracy, left-handers Fernando Abad and Xavier Cedeno. 自由球员： 右投Dan Haren，内野手Chad Tracy，左投Fernando Abad，左投Xavier Cedeno。 Rotation: As of now, the front end is settled with Strasburg, Zimmermann and Gio Gonzalez. The trio won a combined 38 games. 轮值： 到目前为止，前段轮值表定为Strasburg，Zimmermann，Gio Gonzalez， 这三人共赢下38胜。 However, the back end of the rotation needs work -- big time. Haren will not be back because of his inconsistency on the mound. It's still unknown if Ross Detwiler is healthy. He didn't pitch after July 3 because of back problems. 然而後段轮值还需要调整。这问题真的很大条。 无法维持稳定表现的Haren不会回来， Ross Detwiler的健康也依旧是个问号。 他从7/3开始就因背伤没再投过球。 Tanner Roark and Taylor Jordan looked impressive during their brief time with the team, but it's not a given they will be in the rotation next year. Rizzo could go out and get another veteran pitcher to help guide the rotation. At the same time, Strasburg, Zimmermann and Gonzalez are not rookies anymore and should be able to lead a pitching staff by next year. Tanner Roark与Taylor Jordan提供的表现虽短但令人惊艳， 只是这也不保证明年他们就能在轮值中占有一席之地。 Rizzo还是可能从外面挖个老投来引导轮值。 同时Strasburg，Zimmermann，Gonzalez也已经不再是菜鸟， 明年应该能够领导阵中的投手们。 Bullpen: What made the bullpen average? Johnson had a tough time finding quality lefties out of the bullpen. The Nationals started the season with Zach Duke as the long man before he was released in June. Then, they went with Abad and Ian Krol, but they were inconsistent. It took until September to realize that Cedeno was a quality left-hander out of the bullpen. Look for Rizzo to look for some quality lefties for 2014. 牛棚： 要如何平衡牛棚？Johnson找有水准的左手牛找得相当辛苦。 开季时国民只有Zach Duke当长中继而且六月就将他释出。 接着拉上Abad与Ian Krol，但是他们也无法稳定下来。 一直到九月才终於了解Cedeno就是他们一直在寻求的那只牛。 期待Rizzo明年能多找些能看的左手牛来助阵。 The back end of the bullpen is fine with Rafael Soriano as the closer and Storen and Clippard as the setup men. Clippard was clearly the best reliever on the Nationals. Johnson even thought he overused Clippard during the season because he didn't have a left-hander who could get left-handed hitters out on a regular basis. 比赛後段的牛棚人选没什麽问题。 由Rafael Soriano关门，Storen与Clippard布局。 Clippard无疑是国民最好的布局投手， Johnson甚至想过他对Clippard是操过头了， 因为他找不到基本上能以左制左的左手牛。 Craig Stamman is expected to be back next season. Ryan Mattheus has to have a great Spring Training to make the team next year. Craig Stammen下个球季还是会在， Ryan Mattheus得在明年春训缴出好成绩才会挤进名单。 Catcher: If only Ramos stayed healthy this year, his numbers would be unbelievable. Ramos dealt with hamstring issues during the first half of the season. But when he came back, he was one of Washington's best power hitters. 捕手： 假使Ramos今年能保持健康那他的数据将会相当不可思议。 上半季Ramos忙着应付他的腿部肌腱， 但等他归队後，他就成为华盛顿最好的打者之一。 The Nationals still don't know who their backup catcher will be next year. Jhonatan Solano and Sandy Leon both had bad years with the bat in the Minor Leagues and weren't given much of a chance in the Major Leagues. It wouldn't come as a surprise if Rizzo tried to acquire a backup catcher via free agency. 国民还是不知道明年他们的後备捕手在哪。 Jhonatan Solano跟Sandy Leon今年小联盟的打击成绩惨不忍睹， 在大联盟也得不到多少机会。 如果Rizzo试图透过自由市场找来替补捕手那一点也不令人意外。 First base: Adam LaRoche had one of the toughest seasons of his Major League career, hitting .237 with 20 home runs and 62 RBIs. Those numbers are not even close to the MVP-type numbers he put up for Washington last year. 一垒手： 今年是Adam LaRoche大联盟生涯中最难过的凄惨球季之一。 .237打击率，20轰，62打点。 这些数字甚至无法跟去年那个MVP数据相提并论。 It didn't helped that LaRoche lost 15 to 20 pounds in recent months. It was believed, at first, that LaRoche was losing the weight because of the flu he caught right after the All-Star break. But LaRoche revealed that the weight loss was caused by the medication he was taking for attention deficit disorder (ADD). LaRoche is expected to fix the problem during the offseason. LaRoche近几个月减重15到20磅显然没什麽用。 相信一开始LaRoche是因为全明星周後感染流感才变瘦， 但是LaRoche也透露他的体重之所以减少， 是肇因於服用抑制注意力缺失症（成人的过动症）的药剂。 预期LaRoche会在季後调整这个问题。 There was a possibility of trading LaRoche in order to put Ryan Zimmerman at first base. But with Zimmerman's throwing problems behind him, LaRoche will be the first baseman in 2014. 也有交易LaRoche让Ryan Zimmerman移防一垒的可能。 但Zimmerman已经远离困扰他的传球麻烦， 所以明年的一垒手还将会是LaRoche。 Second base: It will come down to Anthony Rendon and Lombardozzi fighting for the second base job. For right now, it looks like Rendon has the edge because of the power numbers he could potentially put up. A third baseman by trade, Rendon also was above average with the glove at second. 二垒手： 这将是Anthony Rendon与Steve Lombardozzi的战斗。 就目前来看Rendon会因他潜在的攻击能量而取得上风。 就算是从三垒手转换过来，Rendon也能带来超越平均的守备功力。 Lombardozzi was the team's best pinch-hitter and could be in that same role next year. When he played often, Lombardozzi was an asset in the top or bottom of the batting order. Lombardozzi是队上最好的代打，明年也会是相同角色。 当他能够常常上场时，打线的前後段棒次他也都能胜任。 Rizzo insists that Danny Espinosa is in the mix for the starting second base job, but he will likely be traded before Spring Training. If he isn't traded, he will be no more than a backup infielder. Rizzo坚持Danny Espinosa并未被排除在角逐先发二垒手的行列以外。 但他比较像是会在春训前就被交易掉。 如果没被交易，他也不会占据比候补内野手更好的位置。 Shortstop: Desmond seems to get better every year. Besides having steady hands at short, Desmond was among the team leaders in home runs and RBIs. The Nationals are hoping that they can sign Desmond to an extension, but he is not taking a team discount to get it done. 游击手： Desmond看起来是一年好过一年。 除了扛住游击区也不会手软以外， Desmond的全垒打与打点在阵中都属领先群。 国民希望能跟Desmond签下长约，但没办法用友情价留住他。 Third base: For a while, it looked like the Nationals needed a new third baseman for the first time since 2005. Zimmerman had a tough time throwing the baseball because he was still recovering from shoulder surgery. However, during the month of September, Zimmerman was the Zimmerman of old -- making great backhanded catches and making strong throws to first base. Rizzo said he is not planning to make any changes at third base. 三垒手： 就那麽一下子， 国民似乎需要一个新角色来取代05年开始就镇守三垒的Zimmerman。 他因为刚从肩膀手术中恢复导致有段时间传球传得很辛苦。 然而到了九月，Zimmerman回到过去那个Zimmerman， 他能反手接球然後又快又稳地传往一垒。 Rizzo说他不打算在这个位置做任何改变。 Left field: Can you imagine if Harper stayed healthy? His numbers would probably be off the charts. He missed more than a month of the season after crashing into the right-field wall in Dodger Stadium. He also had some left hip issues. As of now, Harper doesn't believe he needs surgery to repair his knee or hip. 左外野： 你能想像如果Harper维持健康的样子吗？ 他的数据有可能会打破纪录。 撞到道奇主场的全垒打墙後休息一个多月， 他也受左臀伤势所苦。 到目前为止Harper并不相信他需要靠手术来恢复他的膝盖与臀部。 Center field: Denard Span played outstanding defense the entire season. He didn't make an error and should win his first Gold Glove. But it took him a while to get use to National League pitching. Span would put up respectable numbers, thanks to a 29-game hitting streak, the highest in the Major Leagues. 中外野： Denard Span整季的防守都相当杰出，他没失误过也该拿下生涯首座金手套。 但他多花了点时间去熟悉国联投手。 感谢今年联盟最长的29场连续安打，Span将会建立起可敬的数字。 Right field: Jayson Werth staved off injuries and was the MVP of the team. He led the team in almost every major offensive category including home runs, RBIs, batting average, on-base percentage and OPS. 右外野： Jayson Werth远离伤病，也是球队的MVP。 他几乎囊括队上所有主要攻击数据，包括全垒打，打点，打击率与攻击指数。 --
