In the roughly four weeks since the World Series has ended, the Rangers have declined to pick up Vladimir Guerrero's option and, most recently, declined to offer him salary arbitration. 世界大赛结束约四个礼拜左右，游骑兵队决定执行Vladimir Guerrero明年的option，也 不对他FA自由球员身分提出仲裁。(VG为Type A球员，若球队提出仲裁VG不接受转至他队 效力，游骑兵队可获得他队第一轮选秀权和一个三明治选秀权) They did all of this because – are you ready for this? – they want him back. 他们做了上述那些动作，你准备好了吗?他们想要他(VG)回来~~ On the surface, it seems a little strange, maybe even a tad ingenuous. 表面上，它看起来有些怪异，甚至如小孩子般天真无邪(这段翻的不太有把握~~) The truth, though, is this works best for everybody. 其实，这对所有人都好~~ If anybody is taking a risk, it's the Rangers, not Guerrero. Even if he doesn't land the multi-year deal he's seeking, Guerrero will sign somewhere for 2011. Guys who hit .300 with 115 RBIs don't just vanish overnight. 假如有人是冒着风险的话，那绝对是游骑兵队，而不是Guerrero。即使他没有得到他想要 的复数年合约，Guerrero也会找到工作。一个拥有3成打率和115分打点的并不好找~~ If Guerrero signs anywhere other than Texas, the Rangers won't receive a pair of compensatory draft picks. If he returns to Texas, it may very well be for more than the $9 million "option." 假如Guerrero和别队签约，游骑兵队并不队得到任何补偿选秀权。假如他回到游骑兵队， 他很可能得到超过9M的"选择"。(编按:游骑兵队并未执行明年9M的合约，而用1M买断) First, understand the "option" was an option in name only. It really was a layaway plan that allowed the Rangers to add an extra $1 million to his final salary at a point in time when they didn't have an extra $1 million in reserve. All Guerrero had to do to get the $1 million buyout was decline the option. In the event he had a poor 2010 and decided the option was his most lucrative deal, the Rangers had the ability to decline the option and pay the buyout. 首先，必须了解到"选择权"只是一个名称叫做选择权而已。它很像分期积累预付购货的方 式(编按:layaway此字词直接找网路英文字典翻)，让游骑兵队没有预备的1M(预算)时随时 可以把1M添加在合约上面(假如顺利签回VG的话)。VG所做的只是领到1M的买断金~~ The decision to decline to offer arbitration requires a little more explanation. For Guerrero, it offers the opportunity to truly test the market. If signing him required a team to forfeit a first-round draft pick, it might very well falsely lower his market value. Now, if he comes back to the Rangers to negotiate a one-year deal, it will be with an extremely clear sense of what the market is willing – or unwilling – to pay him. 拒绝提出仲裁需要更多的解释。对VG来说，它提供一个很好的机会让VG去自由球员市场试 试水温。假如(对他提出仲裁)他队签下来需要放弃该队第一轮选秀权，它会很容易降低他 的市场价值。现在，假如他回来和游骑兵队商讨一年的合约，将会很明显表示市场上愿不 愿意签下他。(只能打DH) The Rangers, well, they potentially benefit also by getting the truest sense of the market and by getting more time to concentrate on re-signing Cliff Lee without having any more of their 2011 payroll eaten up by a significant contract. It's easier to fit a DH in after getting word on Lee than the other way around. 游骑兵队，当然，能受益於自由球员市场上的各球对於每个自由球员的评价，而且让他们 更专心於签回Cliff Lee而不会让任何肥约吃掉他们2011年的预算。在得到Cliff Lee的答 案之後DH此位置的球员是很好补到的。 Look at it this way: If the Rangers don't sign Lee, they will have more money to throw at a DH. If they do sign Lee, they may have less money but will offer an infinitely better chance to win than just about any other shopper. 看这方式:假如游骑兵队没有签下Lee，他们有更多的钱投资在DH位置的球员补强上。假如 他们签下Lee，他们可能会有较少的抠抠和别队的GM竞争自由球员。 And, as for the market, it includes more than Guerrero, which only benefits the Rangers. This is a good year to be trying to sign a DH. The market is flooded with them. Not just run-of-the-mill guys either. 而且，今年是很好补强DH位置的一年，市场上有太多打DH位置的好手了(Adam Dunn，Manny ，Thome等等)，而非僧多粥少的情形。 Besides the future Hall of Famer Guerrero, the Chicago White Sox, for example, opted not to offer arbitration to Paul Konerko. Konerko, who will be 35 next season, is a year younger than Guerrero. He actually was more productive in 2010 (.312, 39 homers, 111 RBIs and a .393 on-base percentage). He hits with power from the right side and can still play a bit of first base. 举个例子，除了未来的准名人堂球员Guerrero，芝加哥白袜队也没打算对Paul Konerko 提出仲裁。Pual Konerko明年就要35岁了，只比Guerrero小一岁。Konerko的产值比VG好 (3成12打击率，39发全垒打，111分打点，3成93的上垒率)。右打的Konerko(比VG)更有 炮瓦而且还可以守一垒~~ Those last two assets are things the Rangers struggled with for all of 2010. Remember Jorge Cantu? Remember Joaquin Arias? If there is a DH with whom it might make sense to explore a two-year deal, Konerko might be the ideal candidate. 还记得让游骑兵队2010球季打得很挣扎的两位球员。记得Jorge Cantu吗?记得Arias吗? 假如DH的位置空出来，Konerko会是很棒的人选，签个两年约也不赖~~(编按:我只记得 Guzman打得很糟...) By signing Victor Martinez, the Detroit Tigers made it pretty clear that Magglio Ordonez won't be coming back. Ordonez, who will be 37 next season, might be the free agent most similar to the Guerrero of last winter in terms of risk. Ordonez is coming off a knee injury and has something to prove. Rangers Ballpark in Arlington would be a good place for Ordonez to prove it. He has a .377 batting average at the stadium, second all time among hitters with at least 150 plate appearances there, to Tim Salmon (.378). 签下V-Mart之後，底特律老虎队很明确表示明年不会迁回Ordonez。Ordonez明年就37岁了 ，和去年季後的VG很类似，都是高风险球员。Ordonez才从膝伤复原中也需要有地方可以 证明自己，Rangers Ballpark in Arlington会是一个让Ordonez证明自己的好地方~~ 他在此球场有3成77的高打击率，在超过150打数的球员中排名第二(第一名是Tim Salmon 的3成78) The list goes on. If Lance Berkman accepts he's a DH rather than an everday position player (something Guerrero had to accept last year), he might be a fit. Should we even mention that Manny Ramirez is free, too? It's a buyer's market out there. 而且名单更多，假如Berkman接受成为指定打击而非每天上场守备的选手(和VG去年一样)， 他也是合适的人选。而且Manny Ramirez也是自由球员之身。今年DH位置的自由球员深度 太强了。 If Guerrero does return, it will be with a true sense of his market worth and with no pressure from the Rangers. If he doesn't, there are enough other attractive options to allow the Rangers to work through their top priority (Lee) before addressing the DH. The whole situation allows the Rangers to enter negotiations without trying to "beat" anybody. 假如Guerrero真的回来游骑兵队，这证明他自己在自由球员市场上的身价并且没有来自於 游骑兵队的压力。假如不是，游骑兵队有太多球员吸引他们了。整个情势让游骑兵队在 和球员协商时不需要试着用$$去打败其他队的GM&老板~~ That way they can better focus on the wins and losses that matter. On the field. Starting in April. 然後他们可以更专心於球场上的胜负(这段翻得怪怪的~~)。对了!明年球季四月开打~~ COLUMN by EVAN GRANT / The Dallas Morning News 资料来源: http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/112810dnspogrant .3b7fbe1.html 注:翻得不好请见谅或帮忙纠正喔感恩~~~ -- 2010 Texas Rangers Postseason Franchise Roster (SP)Cliff Lee (C)Benjie Molina (1B)Mitch Moreland (2B)Ian Kinsler (SS)Elvis Andrus (3B)Michael Young (LF)David Murphy (CF)Josh Hamilton (RF)Nelson Cruz (DH)Vladimir Guerrero (SP)C.J.
