With Manny Ramirez's slump, would switching him and David Ortiz in the lineup be a good idea? Or maybe Manny and J.D. Drew? Drew is more of a threat as a backup for Papi than Manny is right now. -- Earl G., Thompson, Conn. 这个问题Manny已经给我们答案了... Rule No. 1 in baseball: Don't panic or read too much into someone's stats after less than a month of baseball. If you've watched Manny in at-bat after at-bat this year, he's actually taking good swings. He's hit a ton of balls just in front of the warning track or right at fielders. And that home run he hit on Sunday night against the Yankees might still be going. I think it would be counter-productive to switch the lineup at this point. 棒球第一法则：不要用球员一个月的表现去衡量他的价值 Manny之前只是咖衰小 球只打到warning track或往手套飞去..... 总之Manny春训已结束 (~^O^~) Hideki Okajima has been a great addition to the Red Sox bullpen, and he really stepped up yesterday against the Yankees. Why don't the Red Sox look at him as being a setup man for Jonathan Papelbon? They seem like a fantastic 1-2 punch. -- Andrew S., Bloomfield, Conn. 我实在是表现得太好了 跟Papelbon可说是Red Sox的双拳啊! Manager Terry Francona definitely showed over the weekend that he won't hesitate to use Okajima in any circumstance. As for the setup roles as a whole, those tend to be managed by specific matchups. Some nights, Okajima might be the guy to go to in the eighth. Other times, it might be a situation more suited to Mike Timlin or Brendan Donnelly. As a whole, guys are going to make their roles obvious by the way that they pitch. 粉科南在危急情况下 不会犹豫地把我推上前线 有时候会由我来投第8局(For example: Jason Giambi is on the line-up) 有时候更适合Mike Timlin or Brendan Donnelly Other than the fact he has long been on the 15-day disabled list, I seem to be unable to find anything current on Matt Clement's situation. Can you help? -- Ed S., Rochester, N.Y. Matt Clement到底死哪去啦？ 我们的19M勒？ Clement is still in Florida at extended Spring Training. He's on a very gradual program after having his rotator cuff and labrum operated on last September. Last I heard, Clement was throwing the ball at about 120 feet. He still has a long way to go, but he's made all the necessary steps so far. I'm not sure exactly when he'll pitch. I'll keep you posted as best as possible. Matt Clement仍然在Flotida延长春训 正积极的对去年9月动手术的 旋转肌 and 关节唇复健中 听说他可以丢大约120 feet了 但还有很长的路要走... Why aren't the Sox using Alex Cora as their everyday second baseman? In my opinion, he's more solid offensively than Dustin Pedroia and just as good defensively. Why not send Pedroia down to Triple-A Pawtucket to work on his offense for one more season? -- Dan G., Agawam, Mass. 干嘛不让Alex Cora当个固定先发二垒手啊？ Pedroia再回去3A练练好了... The Red Sox love Cora as a utility player and think that is the role he's best suited for. I'm sure you've liked the way Cora has hit the ball lately, but most of the time a utility player's production tails off when he begins to play every day. Pedroia has had a rough start, but so have a lot of rookies. He made a great defensive play to save Sunday's game. Maybe that will get him going in the right direction. It's way too early to make a definitive judgment on Pedroia, one way or the other. Cora还是当个称职的工具人比较好 有时候工具人开始当先发时绩效会掉得很快 Pedroia虽然有个艰困的开始 但其他rookies也不是差不多吗？ 难道你没看到昨天他有好几个Nice Play守住球队的胜利？ 谜之声：也帮我少一分ER XD 从任何方面来说现在对Pedroia打分数都嫌太早了 Why doesn't Ortiz bunt more often? I was at the game last week in Toronto, and he hit right into the shift twice. The Sox were down by a run and Coco Crisp was on first. The shift was on and if they put a "bunt and run" on, Ortiz would've been on first and Crisp could've made it to third. It just seems sort of selfish to me. I think Ortiz should have been a team player in that situation. -- Tim L., Toronto, Ontario 老爹干嘛不多点短打啊？ To the contrary, Ortiz probably would be selfish if he was trying to take cheap little singles -- bunts or otherwise -- to the left side to boost his batting average. What the Red Sox want from Ortiz is production. They want him to hit the ball out of the ballpark. When the ball goes into the seats, there's not much a shift can do to stop it. Ortiz can't hit home runs and drive in runs if he's trying to hit little tappers to the left side. The Sox love his stubbornness in this particular case. And, on occasion, as Ortiz has proved in the past, he will drop one down at times, especially when Manny is on one of his patented hot streaks. 你错了...当老爹想要短打or打向左外野时都只是自私的想提昇自己的AVG. 老爹生来就是要把球尻出场外了...总不能用bunt去打全垒打吧？ Red Sox全体上下可是很喜欢固执的老爹啊！ 但是当Manny的棒子热的发火时 老爹也时会想些奇招上垒的... What roster moves do you see happening this season as far as Jacoby Ellsbury and George Kottaras getting some experience in the Majors? Do you see Wily Mo Pena being sent down to make room on the roster for Ellsbury? -- Bar Harbor, Maine 我们什麽时候会看到Jacoby Ellsbury and George Kottaras上大联盟啊？ 盲炮魔会取代Jacoby Ellsbury在3A的位置吗？ Kottaras and Ellsbury are two players you're likely to see in September. I don't think the organization feels compelled for any reason to rush either guy to Boston. As for Pena, I'm not sure what playing in the Minor Leagues would do for him at this stage of the game. 你会在9月时看到Jacoby Ellsbury and George Kottaras上Major的 Red Sox不会想要rush这两位的 但我看不出回小联盟会对盲炮魔有任何帮助 Ian Browne is a reporter for MLB.com.
