David Ortiz Says Alfredo Aceves Can Flourish With Red Sox If Right Leader Tells Him What to Do http://t.co/Ku0SsTRU The consensus among Red Sox fans of one-time closer Alfredo Aceves was that he was a man unhinged. 很多红袜迷的共识是曾任终结者的Aceves有些疯癫。 Aceves provided some of the more entertaining — or flat-out scary — moments in the second half of last year’s worth-forgetting season, feuding with former manager Bobby Valentine and letting his anger get the best of him several times. Aceves在上个糟糕赛季的下半季中有些可怕/有娱乐性的事情─跟8BV斗争并让怒气战胜自 己。 Plenty of people thought Aceves had done enough to send himself out of town, but now that Valentine is gone and hope brims anew with the arrival of manager John Farrell, Aceves has a good chance of keeping a spot on the team. 有些人认为Aceves的所作所为足以让红袜把他送出去，不过现在8BV滚蛋了，来的Farrell 让大家有些新的希望─或许有机会让Aceves留下来？ Aceves, who earned $1.2 million last season as the part-time closer but who is versatile enough to be a long-innings reliever or even a starter, still has support within the organization due to his undeniable talent. 上一季拿$1.2M的Aceves兼差当终结者，但是他是万用型投手，能当长中继，甚至是先发 。因为他的才华无可否认，球团内部还是有支持Aceves留下来的声音。 That starts with Farrell, who has already said he’ll take another look at the mercurial righty. 先从Farrell讲起，他先前公开表示他会重新检视这位性格多变的右投。 But another key member of the Red Sox, newly re-signed designated hitter and longtime leader David Ortiz, is also on Aceves’ side when it comes to finding a place to make the pitcher fit. 另一位红袜的关键人物─刚跟红袜续约的老爹，讲到要创造一个位置让Aceves融入时， 他是站在Aceves那边的。 “Alfredo is a good guy,” Ortiz told Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com. “He has his issues, which I think they should sit down and talk to him about this offseason.” 老爹：「Aceves是个好家伙，他的确有他自己的问题点，所以我认为球团在这段期间该和 他坐下来好好谈谈。」 Ortiz acknowledged that a lot of Aceves’ struggles this season had to do with personality problems and getting him to mesh on a team that had “25 different minds, 25 different personalities.” While Ortiz didn’t point the finger at Valentine, Aceves’ inability to recover his fragmented relationship with the manager certainly contributed to his increasingly awkward behavior. 老爹承认Aceves上季表现低落有很大的部分是来自於个性问题，他得和「25种想法、25种 人格」囓合。虽然老爹没有将手指指向8BV，但Aceves和8BV支离破碎的关系绝对是其中一 项因素。 “He’s one of the guys who works hard here. He’s got the best stuff, and you got to take advantage of that. You have to sit down with him and say, ‘I ’m your boss. This is what you’re going to do for me.’ And I guarantee you, he’ll do that.” 「他是队上非常努力的队员之一，他有最高的才华，所以你应该好好从中汲取好处。你需 要好好跟他坐下来说：『嘿，我是你的老板，这就是你要为我做的事。』，我跟你保证， 他会去做。」 Farrell is widely considered just the type of manager who will do what Ortiz is suggesting, with Farrell having handled pitching staffs before. He’s known for keeping players accountable and helping them understand their roles. 一般认为Farrell是那种会实行老爹所描述的做法的总教练，而且Farrell曾带过投手群。 他广为人知的长处是让球员负责，并让他们了解他们自己的角色为何。 Edes also contested the perception that Aceves has always had character issues, which some people have cited as a chief reason the Yankees cut him loose despite Aceves being increasingly reliable for New York in long relief situations. Edes said sources told him that Aceves was let go more for injury concerns than his behavior. Edes怀疑大家对於「Aceves一直以来都有个性问题」这件事是否为真，因为有些人声称 Aceves在洋基表现这麽好，洋基却轻易放他走─原因就是以上问题。但Edes表示他得到的 消息来源指出洋基对於Aceves伤势的疑虑多於行为问题。 When Aceves is good, he’s been really good, but he bounced among several roles last season, with his most petulant moments arising when his job was adjusted. He was at first upset that he wasn’t chosen as a starter coming out of spring training before he settled in as the closer and was great for a long stretch. But then, when friction began with Valentine, and closer Andrew Bailey returned from the disabled list to take the ball late in some games, Aceves became rankled once again. 当Aceves很好时，他的表现真的很棒。但他在上一季一直换角色，而他最易怒的时期就是 换工作的时候。最初是春训抢先发失败，当上了终结者；後来则是因为和8BV关系不良以及 Andrew Bailey归队抢走工作，Aceves再度不爽。 With the Red Sox desperately needing to hang on to the good pitching they have, Aceves could be a valuable commodity — especially if all the caveats that kept him from performing well last year have disappeared. 现在红袜亟需抓住已经拥有的投手人才，而且Aceves可以成为很有价值的球员─尤其是当 去年所有的负面因素都除掉时，他就能好好发挥了。 -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." --
