Their 88-74 record was a 16-game improvement over the previous year and it came just in time for general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy, who got two-year contracts (plus a club option for 2012) one week after the season ended. 经历连续四个失败的球季後，2009年巨人见证自己重新成为一支值得敬重的球队，而一路 缠斗到九月更让不少人跌破眼镜，他们88胜74败的战绩比起去年进步了16场，对GM Brian Sabean 和总教练 Bruce Bochy 而言这一切来得十分及时，他们在球季结束後的一个星期 收到了为期两年的续约(另外再加上2012年的选择权)。 San Francisco did miss the playoffs for a sixth consecutive year, however. And there's no guarantee they'll continue their upward trajectory in 2010, especially if they're unable to fortify a lineup that ranked last in the National League in on-base percentage and 15th in slugging. The impatient approach of Giants hitters—they averaged the fewest pitches per plate appearance in the majors—was a product of the personnel, but hitting coach Carney Lansford took the fall after the season. 但无论如何巨人已经连续第六年没进季後赛了，而且不能保证他们在2010年会维持在进步 的轨道上，尤其是如果他们不能加强那个上垒率全国联最差、长打率排名第15名的打线的 话，巨人的打者喜欢积极出棒的策略是源自於球团 ─ 他们平均每打席的耗球数是大联盟 球队里最少的，不过打击教练 Carney Lansford 仍在球季结束後离开了。 Aside from Pablo Sandoval, the runner-up for the NL batting title, all of the Giants' highlights came on the mound. Randy Johnson won his 300th game, Jonathan Sanchez tossed the club's first no-hitter in 33 years and Tim Lincecum led the major leagues with 261 strikeouts en route to his second straight Cy Young Award. Matt Cain established himself as a first-time all-star while nearly matching Lincecum start for start, and for the first time, Barry Zito performed like he wasn't fretting over being called a $126 million failure. 除了在国联打击头衔的竞争里排名第二的 Pablo Sandoval，巨人受到关注的焦点全都来自 於投手丘上，Randy Johnson 拿下生涯第300胜，Jonathan Sanchez 投出巨人近33年来的 第一场无安打比赛，还有 Tim Lincecum 在连任赛扬奖时以261次的三振领先全大联盟，在 各项先发的数据几乎都不输给 Lincecum 的 Matt Cain 受到首次入选明星赛的肯定，另外 Barry Zito 开始表现得像不需要因为被称为$126M的失败而烦恼。 Sabean's work to rebuild the bullpen proved fruitful, too. Jeremy Affeldt finished with a 1.73 ERA in 74 highly leveraged appearances and closer Brian Wilson improved in almost every statistical category from his all-star performance in 2008. The farm system gave Bochy no shortage of bullpen choices, including three electric arms in September in Madison Bumgarner, Dan Runzler and Waldis Joaquin. Sebean 重建牛棚的成果也被证明十分丰硕，Jeremy Affeldt 在非常频繁74场的出赛里拿 到1.73的防御率，终结者 Brian Wilson 从2008年的明星赛以後几乎在各项数据上都有进 步，农场的支援让 Bochy 从不缺少牛棚的人选，包括三个在九月时升上来的投手 Madison Bumgarner、Dan Runzler 和 Waldis Joaquin。 The Giants defied their own pronouncements when they called up Bumgarner and catcher Buster Posey for the stretch run. Posey got only 17 at-bats in September as San Francisco faded from the playoff chase, and perhaps the club's most important offseason decision will be to determine if he's ready to start on Opening Day. 当他们把 Bumgarner 和捕手 Buster Posey 升上大联盟、延长了他们的球季时，巨人推翻 了自己之前的声明。在他们逐渐退出竞逐季後赛的行列时，Posey 在九月份共只有17个打 席，或许球队在季後最重要的决定将会是判断他是否准备好要在明年开幕战先发。 Bochy and Sabean have reputations for favoring veterans and giving short leashes to unestablished players, so their extensions were unpopular with some Giants fans. Their critics will monitor the Posey situation carefully. Bochy 和 Sabean 一向以偏好老将、给新人很少的空间发挥而为人所知，所以有一些巨人 的球迷并不欢迎他们留下来，这些质疑他们的人将来会仔细地观察Posey的遭遇。 Managing partner Bill Neukom lauded the farm system's 411-286 (.590) record, by far the best among major league organizations. Four of San Francisco's six U.S.-based affiliates reached the playoffs, with high Class A San Jose and short-season Salem-Keizer winning league titles. 球队合夥人 Bill Neukom 对农场411胜286败(胜率.590)、在大联盟所有球队中最佳的成绩 表示称许。巨人的6支以美国本土球员为主的小联盟球队中有4支打进季後赛，其中高阶1A 的圣荷西和短期1A的 Salem-Keizer 赢得了联盟总冠军。 Neukom said the Giants would continue to invest heavily in player development and emphasize homegrown talent. They committed $3.3 million to high school righthander Zack Wheeler, whom they tabbed with the sixth overall pick in the draft. Scouting director John Barr also drafted a couple of power hitters in high school catcher Tommy Joseph and Louisville third baseman Chris Dominguez. Two prolific sluggers at San Jose, outfielders Thomas Neal and Roger Kieschnick, offered further hope at striking a balance in a traditionally pitching-heavy system. Neukom 表示巨人会继续重点投资在球员的培育上并且会重视从自家农场出来的新人，他们 给了在选秀会第1轮第6顺位选来的右投手 Zack Wheeler $3.3M，球探部门主管 John Barr 也选进了像高中捕手 Tommy Joseph 和 Louisville 大学的三垒手 Chris Dominguez 等的 一些强打者，外野手 Thomas Neal 和 Roger Kieschnick 这两名来自圣荷西多产的强打者 有希望让这个在传统上较侧重投手养成的农场可以变得更均衡一点。 For years, club officials felt pressure to take advantage of Barry Bonds' presence to take annual shots at the World Series. Now a different window is opening, which should bring its own sense of urgency in 2010. Lincecum will no longer work cheap after gaining arbitration status, and Cain is one year closer to free agency. 有好多年，球队高层因为每年都依赖 Barry Bonds 让球队有机会打进世界大赛而感到压力 ，现在有另外一扇窗户为他们打开，不过它在2010年带来了一种急迫性，因为 Lincecum在 拿到仲裁权之後就再也不会便宜了，而距离 Cain 变成自由球员的日子又少了一年。 (这篇文章来自於BA的网站。又错请各位大大们指证，谢谢。) --
