Buchholz taking nothing for granted Fifth-starter candidate worked hard to strengthen shoulder 先发五虎的第五个任重而道远 FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Red Sox haven't anointed Clay Buchholz as their fifth starter just yet, but logic -- not to mention the right-hander's electric arm -- would indicate he's the front-runner. Sure, Bartolo Colon could be waiting in the wings at some point and Curt Schilling might get healthy for the stretch run. But for now, it sure seems to be Buchholz's job to lose. 八扣子霸站五号先发 Not that Buchholz -- who came on to the scene in a big way last Sept. 1 with a no-hitter against the Orioles -- thinks anything should be handed to him. 八扣子 一个不折不扣的扣子 去年九月一号为了庆祝开学对金莺投出无安打比赛 "I don't think that at all," Buchholz said. "I think I still have to go out and prove myself this year. Last year was last year. I had a good season. Then again, it's a completely different year this year. There's a couple of more guys fighting for that spot." 八扣子说 "那无安打没怎样 今年我要更证明自己" To come out on top, Buchholz knows that he needs to avoid situations like Sunday's Grapefruit League debut when things piled up on him for a four-spot in his first inning of work against the Twins. 不过要成为好投手 要避免像对双城的热身赛被爆一样 "I've got to be able to get outs and not give up four runs in an inning -- I know that," said Buchholz. "I mean, it's going to happen. It happens to everybody. It didn't happen to me all that much last year so it's a little better [for it to happen] right now. At the same time, it's big league camp. It's the real deal up here, I've got to get better, I've got to have a little bit better location and then we'll go from there." "出来跑的 迟早会爆" "林北今年要更强" In his Sunday appearance, Buchholz piggybacked Tim Wakefield out of the bullpen. After throwing 28 pitches in that third, he settled down for a nine-pitch, 1-2-3 fourth inning before calling it a day. 周日热身赛八扣子接替老魏 一开始爆了 不过後来稳了 The way Buchholz rocketed through 2007 -- from Double-A to Triple-A to the Fenway no-hitter -- a little Spring Training adversity probably isn't the worst thing that could happen. 2007八扣子从2A 3A 喷上大联盟无安打 今年春训爆炸不是坏事 "With [runners on] first and second, the game speeds up, [he] lets the guy steal third," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "Those are things that we forget because his stuff is good and he has some success and he's young. I think the game got a little quick for him in that inning. Maybe that's not so bad." 柯南 "垒上有人他自以为厉害 结果被肛了 被肛也好啦 爽" In late September of last season, the Red Sox had to make the tough decision of telling Buchholz to go home instead of being part of their postseason plans. The right-hander failed to meet expectations on strength tests done by Boston's training staff and he was given specific instructions to work hard in the offseason and come back stronger. 去年红袜忍痛不让他打季後赛怕被肛失去贞操 Buchholz did just that and he can already feel the difference. 八扣子刚刚才发现被肛的痛 "Oh definitely," said Buchholz. "From how I felt at the end of last year -- as far as having to try to throw a baseball really, really hard to make it come out of my hand right ... Now I feel like I'm 90-93 [mph] without having to try to throw hard, and I can reach back and throw it a little harder if I want to, so it feels really good right now." "去年底投球很累 今年状况很好" Now it's just time to go out and pitch. 今年投球爽 "He's kind of in that [Jacoby] Ellsbury [mode]," Francona said. "You want to see how he handles expectations. As far as pitching, he showed up in great shape. We're thinking we're going to see pretty good results." 柯南 "他就像就靠北爱斯贝瑞 直得期待 今年会好好的肛对手的 " With a mid-90s fastball, a pretty curveball and a tantalizing changeup, Buchholz offers an enticing mix, and seemingly endless potential. 中九十直球 美丽的大曲 撩人的变速球 八扣子有无穷的潜力 "He's got arm speed, he's got a changeup to go with it," Francona said. "Yeah, that's why he is who he is. That's why you guys are asking questions about him. He's got a chance to be really good." 柯南 "他好手臂 还有变速球 " "八扣子之所以为八扣子 大家都在赞叹阿 " But Buchholz leaves it to fans and media to paint the big picture. He's trying his best to focus on the immediate tasks. 但是八扣子不想理柯南跑去跟球迷媒体画画 "Actually the last two bullpens I've been a little up in the zone, " Buchholz said. "It's early. I've still got a couple of things to work on, a couple of things to try to perfect before we actually get rolling." 八扣子 "我还要努力争取先发" As for that fifth spot in the rotation, Julian Tavarez and Kyle Snyder seem to be Buchholz's top competitors. Before long, Colon could be knocking on the door. 这五人轮值 赛扬塔跟史奈德是八扣子的竞争对手 大肚赛扬酷龙也许一口气会肛了他们三个进入轮值 Buchholz made it clear he has no problem with a hard fight for the job. 八扣子说要肛就来我才是最会肛人的 "There's probably four or five guys here that are fighting for one spot, " Buchholz said. "That leaves four odd men out. It's going to be fun. I like competition, I like competing against everybody. That's what it's all about. If they were just going to give it to you, you'd take it for granted. That's not how it should work. You should be able to go out there and prove yourself and win a spot." 八扣子说"大概有四到五个人笑想我这位置" "一定会有人掉出轮值 愈来愈好玩了 我喜欢每天竞争 我每天喜欢肛人 我一定要证明我是红袜肚子最大的最会肛人的投手 欧耶" 消息来源: http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080302&content_id=2400213&vkey=spt2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=bos --
