By Sean Deveney - SportingNews Assuming there's no trade for a certain big-name pitcher, the primary issues still lingering for the Red Sox are contract extensions for two key guys -- manager Terry Francona and C Jason Varitek. Francona's extension is a sure thing, but Varitek's situation is a little dicey. He will make $10 million this season, the final year on his contract, but he will turn 36 in April and has tailed off at the plate. The Red Sox don't have a top prospect lined up to succeed Varitek, but that's not for a lack of trying. G.M. Theo Epstein foresaw the need to replace Varitek and, in fact, drafted 10 catchers in 2005 (Boston drafted four total in '04 and '06). The best hope might be Mark Wagner, who is solid on defense and hit .318 with 14 home runs last year. Problem is, that was in Class A, where Wagner was still playing at age 23. ... 在没有对某一位具有大名声的投手进行交易之时，袜子们的主要议题在於延长 粉科南(....)以及队长这两位关键人物(粉科南算嘛-_-)的合约。粉科南的合 约是可确定的，但队长的却是充满不确定性。今年是队长合约的最後一年，他 可以得到10m，但是他在四月份就满36岁了，而且他出现在打击席上的次数也 逐渐的减少。袜子们并没有能顶替队长位置的顶级新秀，但这并不代表帅哥经理 没有尝试去找人顶替队长。事实上，在05年时候总共选了10个捕手进来(04和06 共选了四个)。现阶段最有希望顶替的人是Mark Wagner，在防守和打击上都有 节出表现，在去年有着.318打击率和14只全垒打表现。问题在於...那是在1A.. 而且Wagner已经23岁..... 稍微翻译了和袜子们相关的 这位Wagner有人可以介绍一下嘛？ The Braves also have a veteran leader with a contract issue: 3B Chipper Jones. The team picked up its option on Jones for this year, and the option for '09 becomes automatic if Jones reaches 450 plate appearances, which he has done in 12 of his 13 seasons as a big league regular. It will be interesting to see whether the Braves' new management approaches Jones (who also will be 36 in April) with an extension offer beyond 2009. ... Last month, when discussing his rotation beyond ace RHP Roy Oswalt, Astros manager Cecil Cooper didn't mention RHP Brandon Backe. But Backe could be the linchpin in the Astros' plans. He's their No. 3 starter and showed last year he is fully recovered from elbow surgery. He went 7-3, including his minor league rehab starts, and won his final three starts (with a 2.50 ERA) for the Astros. Backe is eager to contribute. Last year, he told reporters that being injured was like "stealing money -- you start to feel ... like you are just there wasting space." ... The Royals are eager to keep pressure off 3B Alex Gordon, whose disappointing rookie year included 137 strikeouts and a .247 batting average. Manager Trey Hillman already has Gordon slated for seventh in the batting order, which is where he did his best work last year with a .280 average. He batted .239 in all other spots. ... The Brewers' signing of CF Mike Cameron made it official -- Ryan Braun is moving from third base, where he committed 26 errors in 112 games last season, to the outfield. Bill Hall, normally an infielder but stationed in center field last year, will move to third, and Braun will take his balky glove to left field. One scout says the move will be a big help: "Cameron is going to do a great job in center. You have to worry abocenter and third makes them better overall defensively." them better overall defensively." -- M.Lowell J.Lugo J.Varite Dice-K D.Pedroi D.Ortiz M.Ramire C.Crisp J.D.Drew Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ╴ Ｂ ═ ═ ‧ ‧ ︿ ︿○▁ ▁ ≧ ≦ ⊙ ⊙ / ˙ ˙ \ — — ˙ ˙ ︺ ▇︶▇ ▽ \ ⊿ ◢ ﹀ ↗ ▄︿▄ / ▁︹▁ | – \ ︺ < y \ / /■■■╯ｍ╯ ☆ // @m > < / ╰╰ ╯ The| \ Bos / \ton ◢▼◣ Red/　| Sox \ \ | \ φwillmango ＜ \, Ptt/ ╰ --
