Jon Daniels admits SS Elvis Andrus will be ‘challenging’ to re-sign Staff reports Published: 27 January 2013 07:20 PM JD承认续签猫王将是一个挑战 When it comes to the middle infield, the Rangers are the envy of MLB. Not only does Texas have one of the best young stopgaps in the game in Elvis Andrus and three-time All-Star 2B Ian Kinsler, but it also boasts the top SS prospect in baseball in 19-year-old Jurickson Profar. And though the Rangers’ surplus of talent up the middle has led to some speculation of a trade, Rangers GM Jon Daniels said he would rather not mess with a good thing during an interview on SiriusXM’s “Inside Pitch” show with Jim Bowden this weekend. JD上 "Inside Pitch" show 讨论 Rangers 目前 middle IF 天份过剩的状况 “Our preference would be to continue to have a good probably, meaning with Kinsler, Elvis and Profar, have three guys with two positions,” Daniels said. “We would love to extend Elvis. We extended Ian, obviously Jurickson is going to be here for some time, and we would love to extend Elvis.” 我们很希望 Kinsler, Elvis, Profar 未来都留在队上， Kinsler已经签了延长合约，Profar还会在队上好一阵子， 我们很希望可以跟 Andrus 也签延长合约 But the Rangers’ warm-and-fuzzy feelings could be short lived. While both Profar and Kinsler are under team control for the foreseeable future, Andrus is poised to hit free agency after the 2014 season. To make matters worse, Andrus’ agent, Scott Boras, has a reputation for getting his clients top dollar and rarely seeing them re-sign with their previous club. Andrus 将在 2014 年球季结束後成为自由球员，更糟的是，他经纪人是 Boras， 一个一向以说服他客户投入自由球员市场追求最大合约，鲜少跟原球队续约的经纪人 And while there are a handful of Boras clients who have stayed put, Daniels noted that those players were the exception. “You’re absolutely right about Scott, that some of his guys have extended, but it’s ultimately rare,” Daniels said. “It’s the Andruw Joneses, the Carlos Gonzalezes, the Jered Weavers. The guys that say, ‘Hey, I don’t need top dollar. I don’t need to be the highest-paid guy. I want to be here.’ And on some level, Elvis is going to have to say that. And he’s expressed a desire to be here, but it hasn’t materialized to the point yet where I have a feeling one way or the other whether that’s going to happen.” 当然有一些 Boras 的客户和原球队续约，例如 A.Jones, C.Gonzalez, J.Weaver 但 JD 很清楚这些都是特例!! “We probably do have to anticipate that he’s going to be a challenging guy for us to sign, but we haven’t given up on that yet. And I think that’s kind of where we are. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to play out. But we’re not going to – we love the way Elvis fits on the club right now.” "我们很清楚跟 Andrus 续约是大挑战，但我们还没放弃，未来会怎样我也不知道， 但至少我很喜欢他现在在球队扮演的角色" JD表示 --
