If they do not sign him. will they give Kevin Cash the starting spot or will they go after a catcher like Ramon Hernandez of the Orioles? -- Corbin G., Syracuse, NY 有任何今年会跟队长换约的消息吗？ 如果红袜跟队长说掰掰，会让现金上来顶还是找外援？譬如金莺的Ramon Hernandez Despite Varitek's down year offensively -- and lately he has hit much better -- I think the club's first inclination is to do everything they can to keep Varitek. He remains a rock behind the plate and obviously is instrumental in handling the pitchers. As usual, it will come down to business, and whether the Red Sox can find common ground with agent Scott Boras and Varitek. The motivation to sign Varitek speaks not only of how much the organization values him, but also about the general lack of quality catchers on the open market. If they have to go to Plan B, I'm not quite sure what that is yet, but I'm sure general manager Theo Epstein and his assistants are doing plenty of work on identifying the market. 尽管队长今年打击有气无力（但最近有复苏的迹象），但我认为Theo他们第一要务仍是 尽可能留下队长，Tek在本垒板後依旧生猛有力，更是赤袜投手最好的另一半。 当然罗，最後一定是在商言商，尤其是得跟魔鬼经纪人波拉斯搏斗； 但会有这种推论不仅是队长对红袜国的劳苦功高，另方面也是现今市场上没啥好捕手 至於B计画嘛...我还不确定有这咚咚，但我相信红袜的FO会对市场作足功课。 Do you think the Sox will keep Jason Bay after this year? If so, for how long? He has been certainly handling the pressure of playing in Boston pretty well. -- Alex R., Lexington, MA 红袜明年还会留下接生贝吗？会签多长呢？目前看来红袜国毒舌压力他顶得挺好的 Bay is signed for an extremely reasonable $7.5 million for 2009, so he is all but certain to be on the team next year. Because the relationship has worked so well initially, I wouldn't be surprised if the sides discussed an extension at some point. 贝2009年750万的约十分划算，放千百个心，你明年一定会看到他的。 目前看来他与红袜国国民的关系也不赖，哪天会讨论延长合约我也丝毫不意外 Daisuke Matsuzaka has had a great year. Why isn't he mentioned among the top candidates for American League Cy Young? -- Matt C., Strasburg, PA 骰子K维尼今年表现很棒耶～但为啥CYA前几名都没被点名呢？ It's very simple. Matsuzaka doesn't have the innings to be involved in this discussion. Not only did he miss roughly three weeks on the disabled list, but he's pitched less than six innings during numerous outings this year. He is certainly having great success, but the sample size -- 140 2/3 innings entering September -- hasn't been quite big enough. For example, leading contender Cliff Lee has pitched 185 1/3 innings with a better record and ERA than Daisuke. 道理很简单，他目前处境跟去年北极有点像---吃的局数太少了。 他有三周待在DL，加上今年大部分都投不满六局 不可否认，他今年投球表现确实是没话说；但到九月才吃140又三分之二局也真的太少 像是李可夫（不是立可敷...）目前局数来到185.1，又暂居胜投王＆防御率王 CY实在是不作第二人想 On Draft day, the Red Sox drafted a young player right out of high school. They said that they were going to decide if he was going to play shortstop or pitch. I am just wondering what they chose. -- Logan N., Boston 我们今年首轮选了个高中生，能守游击又能投球，上头决定让他朝哪一项发展呢？ You are speaking of Casey Kelly, who also had a chance to play quarterback at the University of Tennessee. Obviously the guy is a special athlete. As of now, Kelly is playing shortstop. I believe that was part of the deal, that the club would give Kelly a shot as a position player first if he signed. However, this is by no means decided. Reading between the lines, I think the organization thinks that Kelly has a little more upside as a pitcher. Stay tuned on this one. 你说的是有机会去田纳西大学打四分卫的凯凯西吧。 这小子显然是个特别的运动选手，目前呢，他从守游击开始。 合约中应该有说让他从游击先试试看，不过这并不表示就这麽尘埃落定了！ 我认为管理阶层的觉得他当投手会好一些，不过嘛～请持续追踪这话题 Is Jacoby Ellsbury better in the leadoff spot or in the No. 9 hole? -- Jack L., Hampton, FL 小帅哥揪竟打一番还是第九棒比较好呢？ Obviously Ellsbury is the ideal leadoff man when he's getting on base. He's been a bit inconsistent this year. When he is hitting, the Red Sox go from being a very good offensive team to a great team. It is a nice luxury to have someone as talented as Ellsbury hitting ninth, but the team is much better off when he is going well enough to hit first. 当他能上垒时揪靠盃显然是个理想的第一棒，但他今年表现一直不太稳定 当他打得出去时，我们从一支「攻击不错」的球队变成「超棒」的球队 第九棒排小帅哥这样极具天分的打者时对我们是奢华的幸福 不过当他状况好时当然要把他放在一番 If the Red Sox were unable to sign either CC Sabathia or Ben Sheets, do you see the Sox signing Derek Lowe since he's a free agent at the end of the year? -- Cesar A., Ventura, Calif. 如果我们签不到CC或是扁食的话，有没有可能重签老洛呢？ It's doubtful. The Red Sox made no attempt to re-sign Lowe when he was a free agent after the 2004 season, and he was four years younger then. Nothing against Lowe, who was a great competitor and had one of the most memorable individual postseasons in club history, but the Red Sox look pretty set in the rotation for next year. Under the club's contractual control for 2009: Josh Beckett, Matsuzaka, Jon Lester, Tim Wakefield, Justin Masterson and Clay Buchholz. 嗯...（这位乡民你脑残了吗？）当2004红袜决定不续签大功臣洛威时他还年轻四岁 我对他这人没成见，更由衷感谢他曾带给我们的美妙 不过袜子明年的轮值看来已成形，2009的先发看起来会是： 北极、维尼、小莱、老蝴蝶、大师子与八扣子 今天就先这样 谢谢 掰掰 -- 推 adam323:你哪只眼看到我在帮洋基加油O.O? 09/24 04:37 推 adam323:拜托你找出来( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ 09/24 04:38 NYY #13H-svpg adam323：洋基连胜总冠军！！ --
