The list of life's impossibilities decreased by one when the Rays went from last place in the American League East to the World Series. They joined the 1991 Braves as the only teams in major league history to reach the playoffs one season after having baseball's worst record. 大意：光芒在去年达到了一项不可能的任务→从前年最烂到分区冠军 Sporting the majors' second-lowest Opening Day payroll ($43.8 million) and its third-youngest roster, Tampa Bay entered the campaign never having won more than 70 games in a season and finishing out of last place just once in 10 seasons. 整年预算在大柠檬倒数第二且为第三年轻的球队 在球队十年历史中从未一次赢超过70场 Fittingly, their sudden jump to 97 wins and the AL pennant was accomplished through player development. 突然这季赢了97场 After some missteps in the early days of the franchise, the Rays have built primarily from within. Their World Series roster featured nine one-time first-round picks, including B.J. Upton and leading AL rookie-of-the-year candidate Evan Longoria, who went in the top three picks, and Matt Garza and Scott Kazmir, acquired in trades for veterans. 在WS阵容中有第一轮的B.J. Upton, Evan Longoria 还有透过交易而来的 前三轮Matt Garza, Scott Kazmir The grow-your-own approach isn't expected to end any time soon, though the Rays will slip a little in our farm-system ratings after ranking No. 1 the last two seasons. Postseason hero David Price, the No. 1 overall pick in 2007, will carve out a significant role for himself in 2009, and he headlines the pitching that overflows throughout the system. The position players don't run as deep, with shortstop Reid Brignac topping a thin group at the upper levels. Tampa Bay addressed that by spending six of its first 2008 draft picks on hitters, including shortstop Tim Beckham with the No. 1 overall choice. 自家培植的农场永远不会结束(接着介绍农场一些人) In fact, despite the Rays' long-held philosophy of building through the farm system, they never have been more oriented toward developing young players. In each of the past two drafts, for example, Tampa Bay has selected several of the youngest players eligible, such as righthanders Brad Furdal and Jason McEachern (neither of whom turned 18 until mid-October) in the 2008 draft. 虽然Rays的哲学是透过农场来收成 他们从未朝向发展年轻球员 (这段怪怪的 不知道怎麽翻比较好...) Likewise, several of the college players the Rays draft last June, such as catcher Jake Jefferies and first baseman Mike Sheridan, were 20 during their pro debuts. The organization also is more driven than ever in developing international players after building facilities in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela in the past two years. Rays最近朝向多明尼加 委内瑞拉发展 It's obvious that the entire organization, from top to bottom, has more planning and vision than at any time in its first dozen years. President Matt Silverman and GM Andrew Friedman have displayed a Midas touch with nearly every move they have made, ranging from dropping "Devil" from the team nickname to displaying the proper amount of patience for rising prospects to making the correct decisions in terms of adding major league talent. 现在在整个球团里很明显的都有着比建军前十年还好的视野与计画 在新秀方面 有着绝佳的耐心和正确的决定 Gone are the days when physical ability trumped everything, with strong mental makeup now the most desired trait for any Ray, on the field or off. 在球场或球场之外 Rays最想要的特质就是心理素质的增长 There's no reason why the Rays shouldn't remain contenders for the foreseeable future. This team was built for the long haul with a plethora of talented young players and pitchers, and their sudden surge in 2008 was no fluke. 完全没有任何理由Rays不会继续争夺冠军 Rays拥有太多才华洋溢的投手 08年的表现绝对不是侥幸 --
