小小翻译一下>"< http://0rz.tw/bpJgn Spring countdown discussion: Catcher By Steve Foster One of the few positions that created some drama for the Colorado Rockies this offseason has been talked about at length here on the site. But it's as good a place to start daily discussions about what the Rockies are going to look like when spring training opens later this month. 开场白：该是时候在春训开始前分析一下洛矶新球季各守备位置的情形了。 Who’s starting: Chris Iannetta, for better or worse. Iannetta was benched for the Rockies’ September run, making only one dramatic appearance with a game-winning pinch-hit home run in the 11th inning against the Brewers on Sept. 29. His batting average in 2009 was never anything to brag about, but he was the Rockies’ top home-run threat for much of the early part of the season before landing on the disabled list. When he returned, his season was pretty much downhill until he finally lost his job to Yorvit Torrealba. Whether this is the year Iannetta finally emerges as the catcher the Rockies have long thought he could be has been the subject of much debate here already. The Rockies believe it his time, and gave Iannetta a three-year extension. The good news: the contract is reasonable money for a backup if that is what Iannetta again becomes. 谁是先发：Chris Iannetta！即便在去年九月的先发工作让给了阿爸，他曾在9/29 对酿酒人的比赛中击出再见全垒打，他在进入伤兵名单前，也是洛矶火 　　　　　药库的一员，今年季末洛矶给了他一份三年的合约，好消息是，这价码 　　　　　倘若 Iannetta 沦为候补也不算太贵！ Who’s backing up: The Rockies made a serious offer to retain Torrealba but refused to budge on the reported $400,000 difference between what they were willing to pay Torrealba and what he wanted. So the Rockies let their former starting catcher, whose greatest month as a Rockie was likely his last, walk and turned to Miguel Olivo on a one-year deal with an option for 2011. Olivo gives the Rockies more power from their backup, a slight upgrade defensively (at least throwing the ball) and a downgrade in getting on base. Even if Iannetta struggles again, the difference between Torrealba and Olivo probably won’t be felt offensively. Olivo is not really better or worse than Torrealba, just different. The greater impact would come in handling pitchers. 谁是候补：为了0.4M的差距，洛矶与阿爸告别，取而代之的是签下了 Miguel Olivo 跟阿爸相比，在板凳捕手这个位置上守备算是升级了，虽然上垒率无法 　　　　　和阿爸相提并论，但长打方面倒是和阿爸不分轩轾。 Who’s in the picture: The Rockies have a pair of Pauls — Phillips and LoDuca — signed to minor-league contracts as insurance and possibly mentors to some young catchers coming up through the system. Phillips filled in admirably first for Torrealba, when he left the team in May, and later Iannetta, who went on the disabled list around the same time. Neither Phillips nor LoDuca is someone the Rockies would particularly want to see in their starting lineup this season. 还有谁替补：洛矶请来了两位保罗先生－一位是菲利普、一位是罗杜卡，去年菲利普 　　　　　　先生曾经接替孩子被绑架的阿爸以及受伤的Iannetta上场过，表现还算 　　　　　　中规中矩。 Who’s in the future: Mike McKenry is on the 40-man roster and is the prospect closest to the majors. Whether he can be an everyday catcher in the major leagues is still an open question, but he could be a solid backup with his defense. He started 2009 slowly at Double-A Tulsa before coming on and having a solid season. He likely isn’t in the picture for 2010 beyond a potential September callup or a rash of injuries. Behind McKenry are Wilin Rosario, who should move up to Double-A at 21 years old, and Jordan Pacheco, a converted infielder who had a great season in low Single-A Asheville and will move up a level to Modesto. 还有哪些新秀：在四十人名单内的 Mike McKenry，是最接近大联盟的一位，然而他 　　　　　　　是否能够成为一位未来的先发捕手仍有疑问，但毫无疑问他是为守 　　　　　　　备优异的捕手，在 McKenry 还有一位小将 Wilin Rosario 预计今 　　　　　　　年会从AA出发，从野手转任的 Jordan Pacheco 则从1A出发。 Discuss: We’ve debated the relative merits of Iannetta vs. Torrealba or Torrealba vs. Olivo or Iannetta vs. Olivo all winter. Some believe Iannetta has been given a chance and failed. Some believe he showed promise last season and is about to blossom. Rather than debate whether Iannetta should be the starting catcher — it’s his job to lose, anyway — let’s consider another angle. Assume more of the same from Iannetta this season: sub.-240 batting average, 15-20 home runs, 55-65 RBI while batting somewhere between the sixth and eighth spots in the batting order. Can the Rockies remain competitive in the NL West without noticeable offensive improvement from Iannetta or will the Rockies’ season depend largely on Iannetta improving his game? And what does an improved Iannetta look like anyway? Is .260+, 20-25 home runs, 75-85 RBI enough? 讨论：这整个冬天我们总是为了阿爸、Iannetta、Olivo 三人的良窳而争论不休， 　　　有些人认为 Iannetta 已经给了他机会却无法掌握，有些人则相信他将会开 　　　花结果；以去年的成绩 .240-/15-20HR/55-65RBI 六到八棒的表现，倘若能 　　　够进步到 .260+/20-25HR/75-85RBI 是否就足以带领洛矶再一次勇闯季後赛 　　　呢？ --
