Rangers actively looking to improve bullpen The First-Year Player Draft is over and the non-waiver Trade Deadline is the next marquee event for a team's front office. The Rangers' hope is to improve their relief corps. 选秀会结束了，接着重头戏non-waiver交易大限即将来临，游骑兵队希望补强他们的牛棚 。 "The focus of our team is to solidify the bullpen," Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine said before Saturday's game with the Twins. "We have tried a number of different combinations and now we feel some guys in the bullpen are gaining some momentum. But that has been our focus coming out of Spring Training, getting a seven-man unit gelling and returning to the form we had in 2010." Rangers relievers went into Saturday's game with a record of 7-14 with a 4.26 ERA -- the fifth-highest in the American League. 游骑兵队牛棚今年成绩是7胜14败，防御率4.26，美联第五糟糕的成绩。(败场数未免太多 了吧~~~) The two hurlers gaining momentum are right-hander Yoshinori Tateyama and left-hander Michael Kirkman. Kirkman has a 2.70 ERA in five games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, while Tateyama has a 2.89 ERA. 最近两个从小联盟拉上来的投手:左投的Kirkman(季初超级大核爆就下去3A找球感了)和日 籍右投建山义纪。Kirkman最近5场防御率成绩为2.70。而建山义纪是2.89。 "I like what they have started to do," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "Tateyama has come in aggressive and thrown the ball in the strike zone. He gives them a different look. Kirkman has got great velocity on his fastball and a swing-and-miss breaking ball. The key with Kirkman is consistently hitting the strike zone." 建山义纪投球具侵略性且能把球投进好球带。而Kirkman球速有回来而且能让对方打者挥空 的变化球。 Tateyama could give the Rangers another right-handed setup reliever to go with Mark Lowe in the late innings. Kirkman is being used in middle relief, while Arthur Rhodes and Darren Oliver are the Rangers' late-inning left-handed options. 建山义纪让Mark Lowe能转任SU，Kirkman则为第6~7局左右的中继。Rhodes&Oliver两位左 投则是游骑兵队第8~9局时左投的人选。(很抖的人选...) The biggest concern with Rhodes is that he is struggling to get right-handed hitters out. Left-handed hitters are batting .208 off him, while right-handers are hitting .371. Right now, Rhodes will be used as a situational left-hander and is likely to be used only against left-handed hitters. 最大的问题是Rhodes没办法解决右打者。左打被打击率只有2成08，右打则高达3成71。 或是一人左是更适合他的位置。 The Rangers could be searching for both left-handed and right-handed relief as the non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches -- July 31 at 3 p.m. CT -- and they are in conversations with multiple teams. 游骑兵队已经和很多球队聊天过。 "What you find is it's very challenging to make a trade in June," Levine said. "Teams are still hopeful of contending in 2011 and it is very difficult for a team to trade a winning piece and send a message of concession in July. At this point, you'll see more conversations and movement in July when teams have a better feel for the landscape." 注:资料来源同上篇 心得:希望Hunter快回来~~ 到时我们的牛棚是(括号为现在的定位) 长中继:Hunter(Bush/Kirkman) RHP:建山/Lowe(建山) 一人左:Rhodes or Kirkman(无) SU:Coffey???/Oliver(Lowe/Oliver/Rhodes) CL:Feliz(Feliz) Oliver&Rhodes压制力退步是我们今年最痛处~~(Feliz快去找回控球吧) -- 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.
