http://0rz.tw/AyK13 Do you think Anthony Rendon will be in the regular lineup in 2014, or is there a possibility of him being traded? -- Donna L., Chambersburg, Pa. 你觉得Rendon会是2014年的先发选手，或者他有可能被交易？ I don't know yet. On Oct. 10, I said that if the Nationals want to acquire a pitcher such as Rays left-hander David Price, they may have to trade young talent such as Rendon. As of now, he is the regular second baseman, but things could change after the Winter Meetings. 我还不知道。10/10时我说过若国民想要像David Price这样的投手， 就得付出Rendon这样的代价。到目前为止他是球队正规二垒手，但情 况在冬季会议後也可能改变。 What do you think about Drew Storen's future with the Nationals? And with that said, what do you think the Nats could get back in a trade? -- Greg S., Coquitlam, Canada 你觉得 Drew Storen在国民的未来会如何？假如被交易他能替球队换 回什麽？ I'd say it's less than 50 percent that Storen will stay with the Nationals. While I think Storen would do a great job as a setup man for Washington, there are other teams like the Tigers who are looking for a closer. If the Nats want to acquire an ace like Max Scherzer, they may have to trade Storen. If Storen were to be traded, he would likely go in a package with a bunch of players. 虽然我认为他对国民而言是个很棒的 setup man，但我会说他留在国 民的机率低於五成。像老虎之类的某些球队在寻找终结者，如果国民 想要Max Scherzer这样的王牌，也许必须放弃Storen。假设Storen会 被交易，他比较可能是包裹中的一人。 Do you think the Nationals will go after free-agent lefty Eric O'Flaherty to improve their bullpen depth? O'Flaherty was impressive with the Braves, and left-handed relief was one of the Nats' pitfalls last year. -- Josh L., Montclair, Va. 你想国民会追FA左投 Eric O'Flaherty来充实牛棚吗？O'Flaherty在 勇士令人印象深刻，而缺少左手牛正是国民去年的隐忧之一。 O'Flaherty is coming off Tommy John surgery. If this were three years ago, I would say the Nationals might take a chance on an injured player like O'Flaherty. Remember, in early 2010, they took a chance on Chien-Ming Wang, who was coming off shoulder surgery, in hopes that he would be healthy again. That didn't pan out. But the Nats are looking to win now. I would think they would want a healthier pitcher going into the season. O'Flaherty刚动完TJ，如果三年前我会说国民也许愿意在O'Flaherty 这样受过伤的球员身上赌一把。记得2010年年初，他们把机会做给动 过肩膀手术的Wang，希望他能再次健康登板，结果没能成功。但国民 现在就想要赢，所以我想他们会比较希望找健康点的投手。 Wouldn't a bench of Steve Lombardozzi, Tyler Moore, Zach Walters and Scott Hairston give the Nationals a balance of lefty/righty bats and much more field flexibility than they have had in recent seasons? -- Kermit S., Gettysburg, Pa. 板凳选手像Steve Lombardozzi，Tyler Moore，Zach Walters与Scott Hairston能替球队平衡左右打线，并且在野手使用上比过去几季更灵 活吗？ Based on who you have, there might not be enough power on the bench. Keep in mind that the Nationals are looking for a fourth outfielder who is left-handed with power. They are looking for a backup catcher who can hit a little as well and can replace Wilson Ramos if he can't play for a lengthy period because of injuries. 这得看你手上的牌有谁，板凳火力或许仍嫌不足。记得国民还在找具 备左打炮瓦的四号外野手，他们也在找多少算能打的板凳捕手，以便 Wilson Ramos如因健康疑虑无法蹲完冗长的球季时得以替补。 Reportedly the Nats are looking for an elite starter, and it's been said that Scherzer is a better fit than Price because of Mike Rizzo's history with Scherzer. I don't understand why a relationship with the general manager makes a player or manager the best choice. What does liking him or knowing him have to do with it? Shouldn't the choice be made by determining who is the best pitcher for the Nats? -- Bethann G., Va. 据报导国民追求顶尖投手，也说因为Mike Rizzo过去与Scherzer的关 系他会比Price更合适。我不了解为什麽跟 GM的关系会使一个球员或 教练变成所谓最棒的人选。这跟喜欢某人或认识某人有什麽牵拖？难 道国民不是用谁最适合他们来决定谁是最棒的吗？ It helps that Rizzo knows Scherzer because Rizzo drafted the right-hander and watched him develop over the years. It doesn't hurt that Rizzo has a great relationship with agent Scott Boras. So if the Nationals traded for Scherzer, there is a good chance he would stay in Washington past 2014, when he would become a free agent. 有帮助的原因是Rizzo选了Scherzer并且看着他成长好些年，Rizzo与 Scott Boras关系良好也不是坏事。因为如果国民交易 Scherzer，就 算他2014年季後成为FA国民也有很好的机会能留住他。 As far as Price goes, I'm sure the Nats have had a hoard of scouts watching him over the last few years. Like Scherzer, it's going to take a lot to acquire Price. 我很确定国民过去几年派一堆球探去观察Price。但就像 Scherzer， 要拿Price得付出一拖拉库。 With Adam LaRoche having a bad season at the plate, do you think the Nationals will end up trading him along with possibly Danny Espinosa and others to the Rays for Price? -- Johnathon C., Washington Adam LaRoche今年在打击区的表现很烂，你觉得国民最终会将他跟或 许是Danny Espinosa与其他球员一起打包交易Price吗？ LaRoche is going nowhere. I expect him to be the starting first baseman in 2014. I would hate to lose LaRoche's glove. He is one of the best defensive first baseman I've seen over the years. LaRoche 哪里都不会去，我预期他会是2014年的先发一垒手。如果失 去LaRoche的手套我会干死，他是我看过守备最好的一垒手之一。 I do see Espinosa getting traded, but considering the season he had, I don't see him going for a player like Price. Espinosa could go in a Minor League trade, I would think. Espinosa就可能离开。但考量到他今年的表现，我不认为他能换到像 Price这样的选手。我会认为Espinosa比较有可能换农作物。 今天的Inbox都是Ladson对交易文的回应, 算是比较值得翻. 我记得去年就是他先说就算Sorryano来了也别意外, 所以他这方面的消息应该还算灵通. --
