Rather, they presented the spree-spending of prospects as an offshoot of a deeper design. 红雀不认为他们在2009年时为当前的胜利进行的这一连串交易是朝不同於以往的方向改变 ，相反的他们将交易掉这麽多新秀当成是在他们球队长期规划中的一部分。 For nearly five seasons, starting with the drafting of Colby Rasmus 28th overall in 2005, the St. Louis front office followed an ownership mandate to restock a threadbare farm system and become more self-sufficient. The payback from the investment was supposed to be a flow of players like Rasmus, who debuted as a big league regular in 2009. But the Cardinals also eyed an alternative return on their emphasis on gathering minor league talent: the depth to pull off bigger deals. 从2005年第28顺位选进Colby Rasmus开始有五个球季，红雀的行政部门在球队所有权被暂 时转移後开始在贫弱的农场里囤积实力并尽量让球队变得能自给自足，而这项投资的成果 是培育出一群像在2009年升上来成为球队先发的Rasmus般的球员。不过其实红雀还希望他 们重视在农场里累积的天赋可以得到另一种形式的回报：就是以深厚的农场为本钱进行的 大宗交易。 That's the same formula that former general manager Walt Jocketty used to build seven playoff clubs and one World Series champion in 13 seasons in St. Louis. Now it's GM John Mozeliak pulling the trigger. 这个模式就和前GM Walt Jocketty打造那个在13个球季内7次闯进季後赛并拿下一次世界 大赛冠军的队伍时如出一辙，现在则是由现任GM John Mozeliak来重新启动。 In moves for Mark DeRosa and Matt Holliday, the Cardinals traded five prospects, four of whom were expected to be major league contributors as early as 2010. To land Holliday from Oakland, they dealt third baseman Brett Wallace, as well as righthander Clay Mortensen and outfielder Shane Peterson. It cost them future closer Chris Perez and righty Jess Todd to get DeRosa from Cleveland. 在换来Mark DeRosa和Matt Holliday时，红雀一共送走5名新秀，其中4位被看好能在2010 年站上大联盟。为了将Holliday从运动家交易过来，他们送出了三垒手Brett Wallace、 右投手Clay Mortensen和外野手Shane Peterson。和印地安人交易DeRosa又让他们失去可 能是将来终结者人选的Chris Perez和右投手Jess Todd。 Rasmus' promotion and those two trades stripped this list of five of its top six prospects from a year ago. The sixth, catcher Bryan Anderson, missed most of the last two months of the season with shoulder problems. Rasmus升上大联盟以及前述两个交易带走了在去年新秀排名里前6名中的5个人，排名第6 名的捕手Bryan Anderson因为肩伤在球季最後两个月的大部分时间里都缺席。 In other words, it's time to restock a radically altered and diluted farm system again. 换句话说，到了该重建这个经过被大幅改组、削弱的农场的时候了。 The impact of St. Louis' moves was immediate as Holliday gave the lineup a second legitimate threat after Albert Pujols, and DeRosa solidified third base, even if he didn't play up to his previous standards. After a two-year absence, the Cardinals returned to the playoffs with a 91-71 record. 红雀调整阵容後收到立竿见影的效果，排在Albert Pujols後面的Holliday形成打线对对手 的第二道威胁，而虽然没有像之前表现得那麽好DeRosa仍强化了三垒的位置。在缺席了两 年後，红雀带着91胜71败的战绩重返季後赛。 Despite having its roster plundered for trades and for filling holes in the majors, Triple-A Memphis won the Pacific Coast League championship. The return of lefty Jaime Garcia and third baseman David Freese from surgeries spurred the Redbirds' success, and both players will be counted on at the big league level in 2010, possibly as starters. 尽管有成员因为交易和填补大联盟阵容的缺口而离开，3A的曼菲斯仍然获得太平洋湾岸联 盟的总冠军。手术後重新归队的左投手Jaime Garcia和三垒手David Freese激励了红鸟取 得胜利，这两名选手都被寄望能在2010年站上大联盟，而且有可能会在球队的先发阵容里 。 While the Cardinals remain confident they can lean on their system to produce in-house contributors such as Rasmus and Brendan Ryan, some fissures appeared during 2009. Pitching coach Dave Duncan acknowledged his simmering frustrations with a disconnect between his major league staff and minor league development. Mozeliak insisted there would be changes to increase Duncan's influence and strengthen the overall bond between the big league club and rising young players, because more are on the way. 虽然红雀有信心他们可以指望像是Rasmus和Brendan Ryan等自家培养出来的选手，但在 2009年里也浮现出一些问题。投手教练Dave Duncan承认他对大联盟球员和小联盟培育之间 出现的断层感到忧心，Mozeliak则坚称将来会有一些变动来增加Duncan的权力并增强大联 盟和小联盟的年轻选手间的衔接性，因为还有更多的事情就快要完成了。 St. Louis hopes that international signees will start to join the organization's influx of talent, though they had a major setback in that area last summer. After making a statement by giving Dominican outfielder Wagner Mateo a franchise-record $3.1 million bonus in July, they voided the contract two months later because of concerns about his vision. The Cardinals acknowledge they'll have to repair their image in Latin America, hopefully starting by showcasing the development of international players already in the system, such as Venezuelan righthander Eduardo Sanchez. 红雀希望他们签下来的国际球员会马上加入提高农场里的天赋，虽然今年夏天他们才在这 件事情上遭遇重大的危机，他们在7月时宣布以创纪录的$3.1M签约金签下多明尼加的外野 手Wagner Mateo後，过了两个月又因为担心他眼疾的问题将合约作废。红雀承认 他们必须修补他们在拉丁美洲的形象，希望藉由展现他们对农场里的国际球员的栽培像是 委内瑞拉的右投手Eduardo Sanchez开始。 (这篇文章是来自BA的网站。有错请大大们指证，感恩。) --
