Last Saturday, the Arizona Diamondbacks released first base slugger and 35-year-old Russell Branyan. This past off-season, there were not a few of us among the DRB community who hoped the Rays would bring back the lefty from past(Branyan hit 12 homers for the Devil Rays in 2006). 上星期六响尾蛇释出现年35岁的炮手 Russell Branyan，休季期间我们曾在DRB上讨论 希望球团签下哪位左打球员(Branyan 在2006年(魔鬼鱼时期)击出12发HR) Anyway, the Rays did not get Branyan, but who cares? We got Manny Ramirez! Well, now that Manny is prepping for the Latin leagues and Branyan is floating around the free agent world again, do the Rays go for him now? 不管怎样，球队没得到 Branyan，但谁在意呢？我们签下 Manny Ramirez 啦！ 好吧 ，现在 Manny 在拉丁联盟且 Branyan 在 FA，球团现在要争取他吗？ Do not be an uninformed voter! Follow the jump for the pros and cons of Branyan. 不要做个无知的投票者！跟着老手们来了解 Branyan 的优缺点。 R.J. Anderson on The Process Report breaks down Branyan just about as well as anyone, so let's take from that. R.J. Anderson 在他的网站分析 Branyan，让我们来看看。 Branyan Strengths 优势 Power: The Rays have not had enough power at first base this year. Even Kotchman's biggest fans will admit the Rays have not had much power in the top bag. The problem is Branyan has not shown his characteristic pop this year. 力量： 球队今年1B打者缺乏长程火力。即使 Kotchm 最死忠球迷也承认无法带来更多长打 这个问题今年在 Branyan 身上是看不到(长打下滑)。 Anderson: So far, Branyan hadn't shown that same pop. Branyan only has one home run this season and his ISO is .129—an uncomforting fact: the sum of Dan Johnson's and Casey Kotchman's ISO is .121 (only James Loney, at .043, is a first baseman with a lower ISO than the Rays pair an more than 50 plate appearances this season). Anderson: 到目前为止 Branyan 没办法展现以往的Power。他在本季仅仅只有1发HR且 ISO(纯长打指数)为相当差的.129：Dan Johnson 和 Casey Kotchman 的ISO总和为.121 (James Loney 只有.043---在本季超过50的打席的1B当中比光芒还低) Contract: 合约 Because of the nature of his release, Branyan has his money. The Rays could get him cheap, possibly a minor league contract. 因为被释出，球团可以很便宜签下他(也许是Minor约)。 Anderson: The transaction cost involved is simple. Branyan would make the prorated league minimum and the Rays would have to create a 25-and 40-man roster spot (Justin Ruggiano would appear to be the most likely to go). 这笔交易很简单。球队必须按照25人和40人名单规则移出1个位置分给Branyan(目前40 人名单已满)---Justin Ruggiano 很可能会被剔除在40人名单之外。 Branyan Weakness 劣势 Cold as Ice: 处於低潮状态 He's had only 69 plate appearances this year (which aught to make him a DRB favorite), but a slew of those (15+) have come as a pinch hitter (where batters tend to perform much worse). If the Rays sign Branyan to play first base immediately, they will be taking a gamble in the short term. Anderson: 今年目前为止只有69个打席(没有一项指数可以让 DRB 去喜欢他)，但可以担任代打 (15打数做测试)---打者往往只会表现更糟。假使球团很快的签下 Branyan，像是做 一个短期赌博。 Anderson: Branyan compiled 69 plate appearances and registered a .210/.290/ .339 slash line. Anderson: Branyan 69个打席中缴出 .210/.290/.339 的三围成绩。 Age and Injuries: Branyan has struggled a LOT with injuries. Also, power sluggers tend to lose their pop at Branyan's age. This may be the first poor season of many to follow in the evening of his career. It's unlikely he's collapsed this far, but given Kotchman's strong defense, he may not be able to outplay Kotch if his oomph disappears. Branyan 在伤病中挣扎，Branyan 的力量会因为年纪而逐渐退化。这也许是其在生涯 後期第1个低迷球季。想要从低潮中回复不太可能，但有监於 Kotchman 的优良防守， 倘若Branyan优势消失(力量)可能无法取代 Kotchman。 Anderson: Without Branyan's power, his value is non-existent. As you would imagine, a guy who fans in nearly 30 percent of his plate appearances isn't going to hold a worthwhile batting average, and while he walks at a dandy rate (over 11 percent), it's not enough to justify his playing time if his stroke is sapped of its power. 不提 Branyan 的长打，他的价值也不存在了。在你的印象中，这个男人其生涯打席中有 3成都吞三振不能维持打击率，而且其被保送率低於百分之11，假如他的击球力量减弱 无法为其上场时间做出保证。 http://tinyurl.com/4x292u7 这篇是DRB近期文章 刚好球队缺少炮手 就转过来顺便翻译 翻到後面有点在乱翻0.0 有错请指正(应该会错不少) --
