Player To Watch 球员观察 There are so many, how can I choose just one? Ben Zobrist should have an improved year at the plate, as a back injury sapped him of his power last season. BJ Upton is always a potential breakout candidate. Matt Joyce has some impressive power, and has the potential to develop into a force at the plate against both righties and lefties. 有那麽多的球员需要说明，我可以只选择其中一位吗？ Ben Zobrist 打击成绩应该能 有所提昇，上季因为背伤削弱他的打击力量。B.J. Upton 一直都在潜力爆发的候选名单 。Matt Joyce 拥有令人印象深刻的惊人力量，并且其潜力能发展成面对左右投手时具有 影响力的球员。 But how could I spend an entire season preview without talking about Manny Ramirez? After having a "down" season in 2010 – yes, a .382 wOBA is apparently considered a down year for this 39 year old – Ramirez was forgotten on the free agent market and went unsigned until late January. The Rays needed an extra bat in their lineup, especially after suffering through the horrors of Pat Burrell trying to hit in the American League, and Manny's pricetag was perfect: $2M (or $7.5M, if you consider Damon as well). Despite concerns that his bad speed may have slowed, Ramirez still reached base 40% of the time last season and hit for a respectable amount of power (.162 ISO). He's not the player he once was, but Manny could still be the steal of the off season. 可是我怎麽可能花费这麽多时间写了完整球队开季简介没有谈论 Manny Ramirez 呢？ 尽管2010年是个"失败"的球季 - 是的，对於今年39岁的他去年缴出 .382 wOBA 的成绩 显然是"失败"的一年 - (作者这边想要强调人们只看到 Manny 的成绩却忽略了年龄) 直到去年一月 Ramirez 被遗忘在自由球员市场而且没有任何一个GM想签下他。球队打线 亟需一位强打者加入，尤其在遭受 Pat Burrell尝试在美联发挥却完全被击垮的惨状之後 ，而且 Manny 的包裹标价相当低廉：只有2M(假如也把 Damon 考虑进去的话，换言之 总共7.5M。补充：Manny 和 Damon 有点像是被 Boras 当作包裹一起卖)。尽管其差劲的 速度可能变得更慢。Ramirez 上个球季仍旧达到4成的上垒率(.409 OBP)以及缴出总额 值得尊敬长打成绩(.162 ISO，ISO = Isolated Power 纯长打率)。他已经不是以前那个 站在打击区上令人畏惧的 Manny Ramirez 了，但 Manny 仍旧可以在这个休季为自己悄悄 地夺取一席之地。 Since arriving in Spring Training, Manny has been nothing but a positive presense: he's been working harder than anyone else, going to the batting cage even on off days, and working with Evan Longoria frequently. I'm not quite sure where the tales of him having attitude problems came from, but at the very least, he seems like a different man. 自从春训到来，Manny 除了积极出现於基地之外没有做任何事情：比任何人都还要努力 调整状态，即使在假日也会去打击练习场，而且频繁地与 Evan Longoria 一起练习。 我完全不知道其练习态度问题从何而来。但至少，他好像和以前不太一样。 Summary 总结 The Rays have a strong roster and most projection systems have them pegged as around an 87-88 win team. In the AL East, 88 wins is only good enough for third place and a pat on the back, but this is a high-variance team filled with young talent. They'll need some bad luck to hit the Yankees or Red Sox and some good luck to hit their roster, but competing for a playoff spot isn't out of the question. If a few good things bounce there way, the Rays could easily win 90+ games, and put themselves in the thick of the playoff hunt. 球队拥有坚强的阵容但是大多数的预测系统预估他们为一支87～88胜的球队。在美联东区 ，88胜战绩不够好仅能排第3名而且无法给予1、2名队伍重击，但这是由年轻有才华球员 组成的一支具有高度变化性队伍(作者可能是想表示他们的可塑性很高，大概吧，只有作者 才知道为啥要用这个词)。他们需要一些厄运打击洋基或红袜以及一些好运帮助自家球员 (背後意思大概说进季後赛相当困难，需要一些"运气"。才借助"厄运"和"好运"分别对敌人 和自家球员达到目的)，假如在季赛道路上能有一些好事逐开那里的坏事(bounce 有逐开 的意思)，球队能轻易地赢得90场以上的比赛，以及把他们自己推往季後赛战场。 And if the Rays don't manage to reach the playoffs this season, oh well, it was a restocking year for them anyway. Their roster is locked and loaded coming into 2012 and they have 10 first round draft picks in this year's amateur draft, so Yankees and Red Sox fans better not write off the Rays too quickly. They're not going anywhere. 但如果球队不能在本季设法达到季後赛，喔，好吧。这对他们来说至少会是一个储备战力 的一年。球队今年选秀会上将会拥有10个第1轮选秀权补进新秀对其球员名单在进入2012年 後将又会发生什麽样的变化呢？(locked and loaded 原意M16步枪锁定敌人和装填子弹， 引申将意味着会发生些什麽事情)，所以洋基和红袜迷最好不要太快将光芒从劲敌名单上 去除。他们就在背後虎视眈眈看着你，哪里都不会去的。 终於翻完整篇文章了，一句一句翻真的好累...。下次也学其他版友来个简易翻译好了， 有错的地方请指正。 --
