※ [本文转录自 MLB 看板] 作者: ray155009 (ㄕㄠˊ程) 看板: MLB 标题: [外电] YahooFB-Ray 时间: Wed Feb 17 21:26:36 2010 第二篇了，突然觉得还是中职好就四队而已囧 下一篇预计会翻勇士或费城人 也还满想赶快翻梅子的，因为我很想看他的Medical Watch XDDD The Rays have a pretty good idea who is going to be on their roster at the end of spring training. But they don’t know where they are all going to be playing. 光芒在春训结束後会有非常棒的阵容，目前的问题是有些人不知道他们到底该打哪个位置 Battles at three positions will highlight the Rays’ second spring in Port Charlotte, Fla., as they open camp confident they have a good enough team to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox for a spot in the playoffs. 光芒今年是第二次到他们的新春训基地，而今年的焦点是有3个守位是在春训让大家竞争 的。同时今年的他们也绝对有能力和基袜一较长短 The most important addition was at the back end of the bullpen as, days after principal owner Stuart Sternberg told reporters “there’s no $7 million closer showing up,” they swung a deal with Atlanta for Rafael Soriano and signed him to a one-year, $7.25 million contract. 今年最重要的新成员是他们以7.25M和Rafael Soriano签了一年约，而之前他们的 principal owner Stuart Sternberg(principal owner要翻成？)还说不会签要价超过7M 的终结者(又是一个口嫌体正直啊~) The boldest move was bringing in catcher Kelly Shoppach in a trade with Cleveland so he could push and challenge incumbent Dioner Navarro for playing time. 而今年最大胆的改变是和笑脸人交易来了Kelly Shoppach来和Dioner Navarro竞争 And the most intriguing situation will be a four-man competition for the other open spots in the lineup, at second base and in right field. Ben Zobrist will play one of the positions, but where he ends up will be a product of how the others do, with Reid Brignac and Sean Rodriguez acquired from the Angels in the Scott Kazmir trade last August) competing at second and Matt Joyce making his bid for a spot in right field. 另外最有趣的部分是会有4个人在竞争二垒和右外野两个位置，Ben Zobrist会拿到其中一 个位置，而剩下的那一个就会让Reid Brignac、Sean Rodriguez (去年Kazmir的交易拿到 的) 、Matt Joyce三个人来竞争 The Rays have a few other issues, such as filling the last spot in the bullpen (Andy Sonnanstine is the favorite) and settling on a batting order (Jason Bartlett probably will stay on top). 其他光芒要解决的问题还有牛棚中的最後一个位置(目前Andy Sonnanstine领先)，以及要 安排先发打序(Jason Bartlett应该会打第一棒) But after following up the thrill of 2008 with a disappointing 2009, the Rays are poised to make a run at getting back to the playoffs and have a limited window as several key players, such as Soriano, 1B Carlos Pena、LF Carl Crawford and DH Pat Burrell are not signed past this season. 在令人兴奋的2008和失望的2009後，光芒已经作好准备要重返季後赛， and have a limited window as several key players, such as Soriano, 1B Carlos Pena LF Carl Crawfordand DH Pat Burrell are not signed past this season. (这边是说已经 和这三位选手展开单一窗口谈判来讨论续约吗？) WHERE: Charlotte Sports Park, Port Charlotte, Fla. This is the Rays’ second season in Port Charlotte after spending the first 11 years training in their regular-season home of St. Petersburg, so it should feel a bit more familiar and normal this year. The facility is state of the art and very impressive, and the town is a bit on the quiet side, which team officials probably like more than the players. Top Candidate To Surprise: OF Matt Joyce came to the Rays with grand expectations in a December 2008 trade but went into spring training with a nagging injury, and even though he made the opening-day roster (as a fill-in for injured B.J. Upton) he never really showed what he could do and spent most of the season in Class AAA. The Rays are trying to temper those expectations this year but hope that the plate discipline and power he showed at Durham translate to the big leagues 最有可能惊喜的球员：Matt Joyce 在2008年12月时Matt Joyce在大家期待下来到光芒，但却带着伤势参加春训，尽管如此， 因为B.J. Upton的受伤他仍进入开季名单，而去年他并未发挥水准并在AAA度过大半个球 季，球团今年尝试减轻被期待的压力，并希望他能将他在AAA所展现的选球眼和长打能力 转化成大联盟的实绩 Top Candidate To Disappoint: 2B Reid Brignac is going to get a chance to compete for the starting second base job as well as a backup infield role based on his play last year in the majors (.278, 1 HR, 6 RBI in 31 games) and minors (.282, 8, 44 in 96 games). But Brignac is a natural shortstop who has to show he can make the transition to the other side. 最有可能失望的球员：Reid Brignac Reid Brignac今年有机会竞争到先发二垒的位置，就算没有他今年也可以靠着他去年在大 联盟(.278, 1 HR, 6 RBI in 31 games)和小联盟(.282, 8, 44 in 96 games)的成绩得到 内野替补的位置。但他是一位天生的游击手，今年他必须证明他有足够能力去作守位间的 转换。 Authority Figures: Manager Joe Maddon is 309-340 in four seasons on the job, combining his deep-thinking style and pop culture personality to create a positive atmosphere around the clubhouse. There was a change to the coaching staff: Derek Shelton, who previously had been with the Indians, was hired as hitting coach, replacing Steve Henderson. 过去四个球季Joe Maddon缴出了309-340的成绩，基於他做事有规划的风格和赶得上流行 的个性(不是很多人说他是颗西瓜吗囧？)，成功的在休息室里营造出了正向的球队气氛。 而在教练的部分，前笑脸人系统的Derek Shelton会取代Steve Henderson打击教练的位置 NOTES, QUOTES —rhp Joaquin Benoit, who missed all of last season after having Tommy John elbow surgery in January 2009, signed a minor league deal with the Rays and was invited to spring training. Benoit, 32, pitched for Texas from 2001-08, going 30-26 with eight saves and a 4.79 ERA. 因为手肘Tommy John手术而缺席整个2009的Joaquin Benoit和光芒签下了小联盟约，并被 邀请参加春训，32岁的Joaquin Benoit从2001到2008都带在游骑兵，八年内缴出了30-26 with 8 SV、4.79 ERA的成绩 ‧ RHP Matt Garza is among the pitchers excited by what the addition of closer Rafael Soriano means to the strength of the entire bullpen. “Now, we don't have a closer by committee—we know who our guy is,”Garza said.“It's not six guys jumping off the bench in the eighth inning going, ‘Who's throwing?’It's one guy.” Matt Garza对於Rafael Soriano的到来表示超爽的！！！他说 〝所以现在我们终於没有 救援委员会了，我们知道我们的终结者会是谁，8局後不会每天都有6个人轮流从板凳上来 ，现在就是他会帮我们守最後一关.〞 ‧ INFs Angel Chavezand J.J. Furmaniak were added to the spring training roster after signing minor league deals with major league camp invites. Ticketed for Class AAA Durham, both have limited major league experience and give the Rays some needed depth. 内野手Angel Chavez和 J.J. Furmaniak在签下小联盟约後会参加春训，他们都有一些大 联盟的经验去提供光芒需要的板凳深度 ‧ SS Tim Beckham highlights a group of four players from the organization added to the spring roster. Also invited are RHP Heath Rollins, a 24-year-old who spent most of last season at Double-A Montgomery, where he went 9-11 with a 3.83 ERA, and Cs Craig Albernaz and Nevin Ashley. 游击手大物Tim Beckham也被邀请参加春训，另外还邀请了24岁的Heath Rollins，去年大 都待在AA，并投出了9-11 with a 3.83 ERA的成绩 ‧ INF Elliot Johnson is one player who will use spring training as an audition for the other 29 teams. He is out of options and doesn’t appear to fit into the Rays’ plans. ‧ CF B.J. Upton lost his arbitration case and will make $3 million instead of $3.3 million, but both Upton and team officials said before the Feb. 12 hearing that they won’t let the result affect their relationship. “Both sides are anxious to get past the hearing and to focus exclusively on the upcoming season,” Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman said. The Rays are 5-0 in arbitration cases in franchise history. 中外野手B.J. Upton虽然输掉了仲裁，但双方都不会让这件事影响到彼此的奇摸子，高层 Andrew Friedman也出来搓汤圆说〝我们没有奇摸子的问题，大家把明年打好再说.〞光芒 在队史仲裁上是5胜0负。 By The Numbers: 12—Rookies among the 56 players on the Rays’ spring roster. 春训56人中有12人去过洛矶 Quote To Note: “I think one of the problems we had last year was that those guys in the bullpen didn’t really have a role, they didn’t really understand when they were coming in.”—Starter James Shields looking back at the 2009 closer-by-committee setup. James Shields对於去年的救援委员会现象也很不苏胡，他补刀说〝去年我们其中一个问 题就是那些牛棚投手们没有明确的角色，他们不知道他们什麽时候该上来.〞 (光芒投手对於救援委员会干意满点！！！西瓜出来面对！) ROSTER REPORT The Rays went into the offseason confident they were better than an 84-win team and needed to make only tweaks to their roster to challenge for a postseason berth. That’s pretty much what they did. The biggest improvement came to the bullpen with the addition of closer RHP Rafael Soriano, followed by the acquisition of Kelly Shoppach to challenge Dioner Navarro for the catcher’s job. They will take long looks at three players who spent most of 2009 in the minors—OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez. 光芒对於季後补强信心十足，因为他们知道自己绝对不只是个84胜的球队，他们只需要作 一些小改变就可以了。最大的改进就在於终结者Rafael Soriano的到来，和获得Kelly Shoppach 来和 Dioner Navarro竞争，除此之外，他们也会对OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez 三位选手仔细观察。 Arrivals: RHP Rafael Soriano (trade with Braves), C Kelly Shoppach (trade with Indians), 1B Dan Johnson(minor league free agent from Japan), RHP Mike Ekstrom (claimed off waivers from Padres), RHP Joaquin Benoit (minor league free agent from Rangers). Departures: C Gregg Zaun( (free agent, signed with Brewers), 2B Akinori Iwamura (traded to Pirates), C Michel Hernandez (free agent, signed minor league deal with Orioles), LHP Brian Shouse (free agent, signed minor league deal with Red Sox), OF Gabe Gross (non-tendered, signed with A’s), RHP Russ Springer (free agent, unsigned), RHP Chad Bradford (free agent, unsigned). Spring Focus: Though most of the roster appears set, the Rays actually have a lot of decisions to make this spring. There will be a competition between incumbent Dioner Navarro and newcomer Kelly Shoppach at catcher, and there are also openings in right field and second base—one will be filled by Ben Zobrist, the other by either Matt Joyce (in RF) or Reid Brignac or Sean Rodriguez (at 2B). There also will be a battle for the one open spot in the bullpen. And 1B/DH Dan Johnson could work his way into the mix for a bench spot. 春训焦点：虽然大部分的名单都已经出来了，但今年春训光芒球团还是要做很多决定， Kelly Shoppach 和 Dioner Navarro的竞争，OF Matt Joyce, INF Reid Brignac and INF Sean Rodriguez三人也会竞争Ben Zobrist 不打的那个位置，而牛棚也还有一个位置 ，另外可打一垒或DH的Dan Johnson 应该会加入板凳。 Projected Rotation: 1. RHP James Shields 2. RHP Matt Garza 3. RHP Jeff Niemann 4. LHP David Price 5. RHP Wade Davis (这个轮值真的是恐怖的潜力无穷啊！) The Rays make it very clear they are counting on a young and still somewhat inexperienced rotation to carry them; Shields, 28, and Garza, 26, are the veterans of the staff. Consider that among them, Niemann, Price and Davis have started only 62 big-league games and won only 27. 光芒已经表明要组成一个或许没那麽有经验，但是年轻有天分的轮值。28岁的Shields和 26岁的Garza已经是里面的资深球员了，剩下的三人Niemann、 Price、Davis一共只在大 联盟出赛过62场并拿下27胜。 The Rays are banking heavily that the progress Niemann and Price made last year carries over. They don’t have many other options, with RHP Andy Sonnanstine and prospect RHP Jeremy Hellickson probably next in line. 光芒球团对於Niemann 和 Price的成长寄望甚高，但其实他们也没太多其他选项，备案大 概是Andy Sonnanstine或是还在小联盟的下一个大物Jeremy Hellickson Projected Bullpen: RHP Rafael Soriano (closer) RHP Dan Wheeler LHP J.P. Howell RHP Grant Balfour RHP Lance Cormier LHP Randy Choate RHP Andy Sonnanstine The addition of Soriano as a closer was the Rays’ marquee move of the offseason, addressing their biggest void and improving their entire bullpen. The relievers who had been handling the ninth-inning duties, such as Howell, Wheeler and Balfour, will be used earlier in the game. Soriano的加入是季後最大的补强，他补上了光芒最弱的一块，而之前的救援委员会就会 在9局前提早上场。 Howell’s performance will be key as he returns to the setup role he handled tremendously well in 2008. Choate and Cormier were pleasant surprises last season and earned the chance to come back. Sonnanstine is the favorite to win the one open spot. Howell的表现会是关键，在2008年他在setup这个位子表现得很好，而今年他又要回到这 个位置。Choate 和 Cormier是上一季的两个惊喜，而Sonnanstine会是牛棚剩下那个位置 最好的选择。 Projected Lineup: 1. SS Jason Bartlett 2. LF Carl Crawford 3. 3B Evan Longoria 4. 1B Carlos Pena 5. 2B Ben Zobrist 6. CF B.J. Upton 7. DH Pat Burrell 8. RF Matt Joyce 9. C Kelly Shoppach or Dioner Navarro Until the Rays decide who is going to be in the lineup at second base and right field, it’s going to be hard for manager Joe Maddon to decide how the complete lineup is going to look. The top five are relatively set, though it’ s possible Maddon could tinker with the middle of the order since Zobrist is a switch-hitter. 在二垒和右外野人选确定前，西瓜会很难排先发打线，但是前五棒应该是确定的，而唯一 的变数是因为Zobrist是左右开弓的打者而会有一些调整 Maddon likes to alternate right and left hitters as much as possible and likes to have speed at the bottom. 西瓜的习惯是他喜欢排锯齿打线，并把快腿摆在前段棒次。 Projected Reserves: OF Gabe Kapler INF Willy Aybar C Dioner Navarro or Kelly Shoppach INF Reid Brignac or Sean Rodriguez The Rays stress positional flexibility and believe they have that with this group. Kapler can play all three outfield spots, and Rodriguez and Brignac can handle the corner and middle infield spots. There is also a decent mix of power (Kapler, Aybar, Shoppach, Rodriguez) and some speed (Kapler). 光芒在阵容调整上有很多弹性，Kapler可以守外野三个位置，而Rodriguez 和 Brignac可 以搞定内野四个位置，同时这个板凳也有足够的长打能力和一些速度 If Brignac or Rodriguez wins the starting second base job and Ben Zobrist ends up in right, then Matt Joyce could end up on the bench instead. 如果Rodriguez 或 Brignac拿到了先发二垒的位置，则Matt Joyce也会回板凳。 Top Rookies: OF Desmond Jennings earned the Rays’ minor league player of the year award and a spot on numerous top-prospect lists after a spectacular 2009 season in which he hit a combined .318 with 11 homers, 62 RBI, 92 runs, 31 doubles, 52 steals and a .401 on-base percentage at Class AA Montgomery and Class AAA Durham. Though he’s unlikely to make the team out of camp, the Rays expect to see him sometime during the 2010 season. 外野手Desmond Jennings是去年农场的最有价值球员，并且出现在无数的顶级新秀讨论中 ，在2009他在AA和AAA打出了.318 with 11 homers, 62 RBI, 92 runs, 31 doubles, 52 steals and a .401 on-base percentage的成绩，虽然他还不能马上作出贡献，但球团期 待他能在2010季中上来。 RHP Jeremy Hellickson was the organization’s top minor league pitcher after a stellar season split between Class AA Montgomery and Class AAA Durham, going 9-2 with a 2.45 ERA and .178 opponents’ average (which would have led all of minor league baseball if he had enough innings to qualify). He too is in position to provide depth and make his debut during the 2010 season. 右投手Jeremy Hellickson是农场中的顶级投手新秀，在AA和AAA里缴出了9-2 with a 2.45 ERA and .178 opponents’ average的成绩，而如果局数够的话，他的被打击率是 领先全小联盟的，他也和Jennings一样在2010季中会有上来的机会。 Medical Watch: ‧ C Dioner Navarro (left elbow surgery in October 2009) is expected to be ready for spring training. ‧ OF Fernando Perez (left shoulder surgery in October 2009) is expected to be ready sometime during the middle of spring training. ‧ 1B Carlos Pena (broken left index and middle fingers) said in January he was fully recovered and taking batting practice. ‧ INF Willy Aybar (slightly sprained right wrist) stopped playing winter ball in early January at the Rays’ request, but he is not expected to be limited in spring training. 1.Dioner Navarro可望在春训归队 2.Fernando Perez可能要在春训一半时才能归队 3.Carlos Pena说他在1月时就已经复原并开始作打击练习了 4.Willy Aybar在1月初被球团从冬季联盟叫了回来，但应该是不会限制他在春训的表现 --
