ARLINGTON -- General manager Jon Daniels spent the week in the Florida resort city of Naples but didn't have much time to sit on the beach or by the swimming pool. He barely even had time to get out of the hotel or even look out a window. "You never know where you are at the moment," Daniels said. "It's like being in a casino with no windows or clocks. You could be in Florida, New Jersey or Texas." GM JD花了一周在Florida度假胜地～～但是却不是去去坐在海边或是游泳池旁休闲的～ 他很少时间出旅馆甚至是望向窗外～（实在有点夸张，XD～） His time at the General Managers Meetings was productive in one sense. Daniels came away from the meetings "cautiously optimistic" that the Rangers will be able to re-sign pitcher Vicente Padilla. "We've talked, and I wouldn't say we're close yet," Daniels said on Friday night after returning from Florida. "But we know what they're looking for and they know where we stand, and so far there hasn't been a breakdown. Nobody has run away from the table." JD 对於签下Vicente Padilla还是抱持的谨慎乐观的态度～ JD说：『我们知道他们 想要什麽，他们也知道我们的立场，这谈判并没有破局，没人离开这个谈判』 Padilla, who was 15-10 with a 4.50 ERA for the Rangers last season, would be a strong first step for Daniels in his goal of acquiring two veteran starting pitchers and a center fielder this winter. The Rangers would also like to add offense in the middle of the order, but starting pitching and center field remain the priorities. There were reports circulating that the Rangers were talking to the Red Sox about outfielder Manny Ramirez, but club sources shot that down as being inaccurate. Pitching still comes first. Padilla 去年有15W-10L的战绩，当然是JD第一个想签下的球员罗～ 另外 JD的目标是签下两个老经验先发，还有中外野～～～他还想在中段棒次 增加进攻火力～～但是先发和中外野还是补强优先～～ 有小道消息指出我们对Manny Ramirez有兴趣～～～不过好像不大可靠～ 因为补强投手是第一优先～ Re-signing Gary Matthews Jr. is the Rangers' No. 1 option in center field, and new manager Ron Washington met with him this week in California. Daniels said that the meeting went well, but that still doesn't guarantee his return. "We've made Gary an offer, and I get the sense that he'd like to be here," Daniels said. "I also get the sense that other teams are in a position to make a stronger financial offer. He'll have a decision to make." 重签Gary Matthews Jr还是中外野的第一优先～新教头在这星球有和 Gary Matthews Jr面谈过～～一切进行还不错（官方说法），不过没有保证说一定回来～ JD又说：『我有这种感觉其他队会用更高心来挖他，他必须做抉择』 （这我看是废话，因为不用他感觉，其他队早就动作了，XD～难道是又想省一笔费用，XD） The Rangers have discussed other options, whether it's pursuing free agents Dave Roberts or Juan Pierre or trading for someone such as Brian Anderson or Aaron Rowand. The Devil Rays may trade Rocco Baldelli. What's safe to say is that when it comes to achieving the Rangers' two main goals, Daniels has aggressively pursued a number of avenues. "We've had a lot of conversations," he said. "I probably had an equal number of conversations with agents and clubs. We were a little more focused this year than last year. Probably because I was new, last year we did a lot of kicking the tires. This year we had more targeted conversations." 但还有其他备案，Dave Roberts，Juan Pierre，或是交易Brian Anderson或是 Aaron Rowand（MVP2005好用...XD），跟魔鬼鱼换Rocco Baldelli（要用谁呢？） JD说这可以说这可以达到两个主要的目标，JD也相当积极～～ Beyond Padilla, the Rangers have looked at the free-agent starting pitching market with strong interest in Barry Zito, Jeff Suppan, Ted Lilly, Miguel Batista and others, and they've talked to other clubs. The Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers appear to be the teams willing to trade pitching. But, Daniels said, "It's going to be pricey in terms of dollars and talent. It's obviously going to be a competitive market for everybody." Barry Zito, Jeff Suppan, Ted Lilly, Miguel Batista 这些都是我们的目标～ （不过是否签的到再说～XD） 很明显的是一个很竞争的市场罗～ The Rangers also know that any major trade they make will likely have to include one of their top young pitching prospects, a list that starts with John Danks, Eric Hurley, Edinson Volquez and Thomas Diamond. "That's usually the asking price," Daniels said. "We've developed a great group of young pitchers, and now they're close to Major League-ready. You develop guys primarily to pitch for you, but part of the process is also having depth to make a trade. "I'm not looking to move those guys, but I also realize you have to give up something to get something in return. But it would still have to be a special deal." The Rangers do have some bullpen depth that might lend itself to a trade, and they added another piece on Friday, when they signed right-hander Franklyn German to a Minor League contract. "If we broke camp today, we'd have to tell a couple of guys who deserve to make the team that they weren't coming with us," Daniels said. The Rangers were serious players in the pursuit of Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka but are not expected to go after left-hander Kei Igawa. 这几段大致上是说也许会拿我们的『农场潜力新秀』去换～～说培养好投手～ 有时後交易也是其中的一部份～～然後对上次『严肃』追逐松阪的失利～～ 就到只为止～不会在去对阪神左投井川庆动念头罗～～ -- 2007- Rangers and Spurs GoGoGo 重金徵求 Rangers版的进版画面（10/25~11/30） --
