原文：http://ppt.cc/bDv5 I thought this might be a fun thing to do. Below I have compiled several questions that relate to the Ray's offseason. When the offseason has reached its completion, it should be neat to look back and recall our own thoughts and predictions heading into the offseason. It will give us the opportunity to see how the Rays did in comparison with our expectations of their offseason. 在休赛期来点猜想是件有趣的事情，接下来我会提出一些有关光芒队的季後休赛期的 问题。到时候再来看看有没有符合我们的猜想吧！ Q1. Will the Rays sign a catcher or a short stop to a major league deal? Q1. 光芒会在捕手或游击手上做补强吗？ For all of us informed fans, these two positions appear to be the main concern heading into the 2012 season. The Rays received minimal production from either spot over the course of this past season, and there appears to be no ready players in the system who can or will take over the spots. Tim Beckham looks like he is close to ready, but it is doubtful he will see much time with the Rays in 2012, barring injury. 对所有了解球队的球迷来说，这两个位置将会是在前进2012年前最主要的问题，过去 这个赛季，光芒在这两处得到的帮助相当有限，而且农场里并没有可以立即接手的球员 ，Tim Beckham感觉已经非常接近了，但除非大联盟有严重的伤病，他明年上来观光的时 间应该不多。 The shortstop and catcher market is relatively thin, but that is to be expected of these two positions of need. The Rays probably will not be able to hand out large sums of money to anyone due to their financial constraints. 捕手和游击手的市场相对贫脊，但还是能找到可以带来帮助的球员。光芒可能因为财政 上的劣势而无法投入大量的资金。 My answer: I think the Rays will give out a MLB deal to a catcher, although it may be a backup. 我认为光芒会在捕手这个位置上投资，虽然可能只能找来替补。 Q2. Will the Rays head into the 2012 season with a payroll of $45 million+ or will they have a payroll below that? Q2. 光芒会在现有的预算上做增减吗？ In 2011, the Rays had a payroll, according to ESPN, of $41,932,171. Not much has been said regarding the payroll next year, except a comment by Sternberg saying:I don't know, but we've clearly fallen short on our financial projections. We have to make some projections but I could not have projected our attendance would be down what it was. I don't think anybody would have thought that either. ... Nothing positive happened financially this year. We were last (in attendance going into the weekend). I hadn't even realized that. I didn't forecast last. 根据ESPN的报导，光芒2011年的球队预算是$41,932,171。关於明年的薪资预算还没有太 多的报导，但Sternberg曾表示：「还不确定，但我们的今年财政状况的下滑必须纳入考虑 ，观众人数的下滑是有些出乎意料的。我也不认为有人预料得到……。今年没有任何正面 的财务消息。我们周末的进场人数是最後一名，我不了解为什麽，我根本没预期到。」 My answer: I think the payroll will end up slightly north of the 45 million mark heading into next season. I believe that the Rays will keep their two aces and that they will sign a DH for several million. 我认为下个赛季薪资预算还是会接近4千5百万，我相信光芒会保住他们前两号王牌，并 会花几百万签下一位指定打击。 Q3. Will BJ Upton be with the Rays after this offseason? Q3. BJ Upton明年还会留在阵中吗？ We all know the story with Upton: a solid player with rising costs and a ready replacement. If Upton is moved though, and Jennings shifted to CF, then Guyer or someone else would have to take up the LF ABs. 我们都知道Upton的角色：一位年薪逐年上涨的紮实的球员，但有机会被取代。如果 Upton离队了，Jennings可以移防中外野，Guyer或其他球员可以接手左外野。 My Answer: No, I think BJ Upton will not be with the team next year. With both Shields and Price getting raises, I believe Upton will have to be traded. 我想明年Upton不会再出现在球队阵容中了。Shields和Price薪资越来越高，我想Upton 会被交易。 Q4. Will the Rays re-sign Casey Kotchman, and if not, will they acquire a first basemen in a trade, signing, or from the system? Q4. 光芒能够重新签回Casey Kotchman吗？如果没有，他们能透过交易、自由市场或农场 找到解答吗？ My Answer: I think the Rays will acquire Yonder Alonso from the Reds for Jeff Niemann and several prospects. I think the Rays will sign Dan Johnson, or someone similar, to an MiLB deal as insurance for Alonso. 我想光芒可以尝试用Jeff Niemann与一些新秀和红人交易Yonder Alonso。可以与Dan Johnson或类似的球员签下小联盟约。 Q5. Which, if any, starting pitcher will the Rays trade during the offseason? Q5. 会有先发投手离开球队阵容吗？ We all know something is bound to happen with 8 pitchers capable of starting for the Rays entering 2012. The Rays have needs, and it may come down to who can acquire what the Rays need. 我们都知道在有8个可先发投手的光芒队中，必然有些事情会发生。球队有阵容提升的 需求，换个角度，或许可以来想想光芒需要什麽。 My Answer: I think the Rays will trade Jeff Niemann. 我认为Niemann会成为交易筹码。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 休赛期太无聊了，提出几个问题，让各位版友脑力激荡一下 :) --
