Vlad seeks two-year deal to return to Rangers
ARLINGTON --
Free agent Vladimir Guerrero is looking for a two-year deal from
the Rangers to return as their designated hitter, according to sources
familiar with the discussions.
VG正在寻求重返游骑兵队的两年合约。
Guerrero has told other clubs that he wants a three-year contract. But he is
willing to do a two-year deal to return to Texas, where he enjoyed an
All-Star season in 2010. So far, the Rangers have been reluctant to discuss
more than a one-year deal, but they continue to have
interest in re-signing
Guerrero.
Guerrero在别队索价三年约,但是对游骑兵队却愿意只要两年约。他很享受今年在游骑兵
队的全星星球季。游骑兵队队重新签回Guerrero仍旧保持兴趣且持续在进行(合约讨论)中
。
Length of contract appears to be more important to Guerrero than the financial
terms.
合约长度比合约中每年拿多少钱重要多了。(不负责任开玩笑:Daniels:听说旧金山老人队
重签The Machine只要1Y/1,我们签两年如何呀~~)
"We're still talking," general manager Jon Daniels said. "
One of our primary
needs is a designated hitter, and Vlad is certainly on that list."
GM Daniels表示:我们季後补强的目标是指定打者。Vlad当然在那些补强名单之中。
Guerrero, after signing a one-year deal with the Rangers before last season,
hit
.300 with 29 home runs and a club-leading 115 RBIs in 2010. He was
selected to the
American League All-Star team after posting a
.364 on-base
percentage and a .554 slugging percentage in the first half. But he had a
.322 on-base percentage and a .426 slugging percentage after the break.
VG本季成绩:打率.300+29 home runs+球队最多的115 RBI。

The discussions will likely continue next week when the annual Winter
Meetings open in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The Rangers' main goal going into the
meetings is to re-sign free-agent pitcher Cliff Lee, but the search for a big
bat for the middle of the order remains a priority as well.
Free-agent first baseman Paul Konerko lurks in the background as an
attractive option if the Rangers don't want to go two years on Guerrero and
can't re-sign Lee.
如果游骑兵队如法签回Lee且不愿意提供两年合约给VG的话,Paul Konerko会是一个吸引人
的选择。
"We can't have our full focus on one player," Daniels said. "There are a
number of things we want to accomplish. We're prepared to be active, but
there are other factors involved: other teams, what players are looking to
do. We will be focused on Cliff, but we'll look at other things as well."
Daniels and club president Nolan Ryan made two trips to Arkansas in November
to meet with Lee and his agent, Darek Braunecker. The sides have had general
discussions about finances, but the Rangers have yet to make a specific
offer. That could be coming at the Winter Meetings.
The Yankees are also in pursuit of Lee and general manager Brian Cashman has
made at least one visit to Arkansas to meet with him.
"It's no secret we want Cliff, and we will do what we can to get him,"
Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press. "That's the
bottom line."
There are other teams involved and Lee will likely be the center of attention
at the Winter Meetings.
"He's in a unique spot," Daniels said. "He has a tremendous decision to make
with a number of quality options. We're near or at the top of the list, but I
don't know what will go into his decision."
If the Rangers don't re-sign Lee, they could get involved in a trade for
Royals pitcher Zack Greinke. Or they could take some of the money set aside
for Lee and use it in their pursuit of a big bat for the middle of the order.
That's where Konerko could figure prominently in the Rangers' plans,
especially if they can't reach an agreement with Guerrero.
Adam Dunn is no longer on the market, having signed a four-year, $56 million
contract with the White Sox. However, Konerko remains available, along with
outfielders Jayson Werth and Carl Crawford. The Rangers are deep in
outfielders, but Konerko would be a strong fit as a right-handed first
baseman/designated hitter.
Lance Berkman has also been mentioned but from a free-agent standpoint,
Konerko could easily be the best fit for the Rangers among available free
agents if they are unable to re-sign Lee.
"We'd like to have Cliff back but we've got to be prepared for the
possibility if it doesn't happen," Daniels said.
Konerko, who turns 35 in March, hit .312 with 39 home runs and 111 RBIs over
149 games for the White Sox in 2010. Konerko, a right-handed hitter, played
125 games at first base and 23 at designated hitter this past season. Mitch
Moreland, a left-handed hitter, goes into Spring Training as the Rangers'
first baseman, but he can also play the outfield.
The Rangers went into the offseason
looking for a starting pitcher,
designated hitter and catcher. They seem to be making far more progress with
catcher than any other position.
The Rangers have already signed Yorvit Torrealba to be their No. 1 catcher
and they are ready for Matt Treanor to return as their backup. There are
still details to be worked out, but the Rangers are close to announcing
Treanor's return.
"There's a pretty good chance Matt will be back," Daniels said. "He wants to
come back. I don't know if it will happen in the next day or two, but we're
pretty confident that Matt is coming back."
