Inbox: Will the Giants sign a star power hitter? Beat reporter Chris Haft answers fans' questions It's a lean time of the year for Giants news, but I have to ask a couple of questions. What are your thoughts on the Giants going after Prince Fielder? I think he is a better fit than Albert Pujols because Fielder is younger and will enjoy trying to hit balls into McCovey Cove. Not to mention that he will balance the infield between him and Pablo Sandoval. Will the Giants make a real attempt to re-sign Carlos Beltran? If they do, where does that leave Brandon Belt? I think Belt is best suited to be in the outfield, not at first base. Finally, Jonathan Sanchez is rumored to be traded. What could we expect in return, value-wise? -- Jason P., El Paso, Texas 对於追求Fielder你们是怎麽认为呢?至少我认为他比Pujols年轻不少(XD...)， 他很乐意将球轰进麦考菲，他是有这个能力，不过别跟我说因为他能平衡一、三垒 的角度倾斜。 巨人真的试图要签回Beltran?如果球队真的做了，那有哪个位置可以留给Belt 以我的想法他在外野会比在一垒的价值更高。 J.Sanchez传闻会被交易出去，能换到什麽有价值的东西回来吗? I wholeheartedly support the idea of pursuing Fielder. He's the difference- maker that the Giants need. But the reality is that payroll constraints will prevent them from bidding seriously for any of the free agents likely to receive nine-figure contracts -- Fielder, Pujols and perhaps shortstop Jose Reyes. Add CC Sabathia to that list, assuming he opts out of his Yankees contract. He already has been linked to the Giants in at least one published rumor, though it's delusional to think that they'll even make him an offer when they must concern themselves with their eight potential free agents and 13 salary arbitration-eligible players, including Tim Lincecum. 我完全支持追Fielder，他是非常不一样的球员，但要追求大物自由球员，球队的 薪资空间却不是那麽好谈，球队不仅要提出合约还要关切着球队8位可能变自由球员 的球员与13位符合薪资仲裁的球员，包括Lincecum I believe that the Giants will make a genuine effort to re-sign Beltran. But, given his extensive injury history, I wouldn't offer very much for very long. If Beltran were to return, that would force Belt to earn a spot in the lineup during Spring Training by outplaying either Nate Schierholtz in the outfield or Aubrey Huff (and possibly Brett Pill) at first base. That's unless the Giants do something unusual and try Schierholtz in center field, which would create a corner-outfield opening. Right now, the best answer is the convenient fallback: "These things have a way of working themselves out." 对於签回Beltran是个不错的决定，但考量他的伤势历史，可不能给他又大又冗长合约 不过他要是回归，那Belt将要在春训打败Schierholtz或是Huff与Pill才有位置可以获得 除非巨人做了一些常人难以理解的动作或是将Schierholtz移往中外野，那Belt将有 角落外野手可以守备 ，不过最好的方式还是将成绩打出来。 As for Sanchez, he'll remain a Giant, if you'll recall general manager Brian Sabean's remarks the day after the season ended. Sabean could change his mind if he receives an overwhelming offer for Sanchez, but I doubt that will happen. If Grady Sizemore is cut loose by the Indians, if he is sound after surgery and if he would take a one-year contract in the area of $6 million, would he in your estimation be a good risk for the Giants and a good fit in the clubhouse?-- Mike C., Kelseyville, Calif. 如果Sizemore与印地安人分道了，在手术後也复原良好并想追求一份在$6 million 左右的合约，他该算是个可承担的风险，就巨人这些年的状况来说。 Definitely. As rough as 2011 was for Sizemore, his .706 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) eclipsed Andres Torres' .643. Moreover, under a one-year deal, Sizemore essentially would be playing for another contract, so he'd be driven to match the standards he maintained before encountering knee problems. His average output from 2005-08 was .281 with 27 home runs, 81 RBIs, 29 stolen bases and a .868 OPS. Heck, the Giants probably would settle for his 2009 performance (.248, 18 homers, 64 RBIs, .788 OPS). 2011年对Sizemore很痛苦不过他.706的OPS还是击倒了Torres.643的OPS， 藉由过往的成绩我想Sizemore应该不会只要一年的合约 Hensley Meulens was re-hired as hitting coach? I don't get it. I don't necessarily agree that it's always the manager's fault if the team doesn't win, but usually it will result in the manager being replaced. Why, after the Giants' miserable hitting performance all year, wouldn't the hitting coach be replaced? Is the whole team not listening? Who's talking about hitting approaches for a given pitcher? When they get into the sixth or seventh inning, who's reminding the hitters to take a strike to wear down a good starter and get him out of the game? As a team, the Giants don't show situational awareness at the plate. If that's not the hitting coach, who is it? -- Greg C., Belton, Texas Hensley Meulens又被重新雇用会打击教练(Bonds：我也想)，我不完全同意球队没有 获胜就把责任全归到manager身上，不过manager常因为这种原因被取代掉， 这到底是为什麽，看看巨人整年打击的惨澹演出，竟没有打击教练被替代掉 ，难道球团都没看到或听到吗?难道没有说过要去提振投手的支援分数吗?当来 到6、7局时，是谁提醒着打击者备稳攻击状态去削击对方投手让他下场，不过巨人这一 只球队却没在打击区表现出足够的打击意识与能力，如果这问题困因不置放在 打击教练身上那该放谁身上？ I don't have much of an answer for you, other than to relate what I saw this season. Meulens and the hitters worked as diligently as they possibly could. "Relentless" was the term that manager Bruce Bochy used to describe Meulens' approach. If anything, the Giants might have worked too hard. Bochy noted that the Giants improved overall toward the end of the season when they scrapped the hitters' meetings they held before each series. There's something to be said for keeping things simple. Also, remember that Meulens is the same guy who supervised the hitters when they shared the National League-lead with 80 homers after last year's All-Star break, which helped the Giants win the division and, ultimately, everything else. That, combined with the plethora of injuries, earned Meulens the benefit of the doubt. Next year will be different, one way or another. 不要太责怪Meulens，每个系列赛前都举行着打击会议在争论该如何变得更好，其实 在去年明星赛後他更带领全队打出国家联盟最多的80支全垒打，不要为今年的表现而 对他有太多苛责，伤兵真的整体打击成绩影响不少，等着明年吧，不一样的打击将会到来 What about trading Brian Wilson and Sanchez for an everyday position player, maybe a Jacoby Ellsbury? This will strengthen the Giants' offense and help free $8 million-$10 million to devote to the rest of the pitching staff. I love Wilson, but the bullpen is rock-solid and one of the Giants' best prospects (Heath Hembree) is a closer. As for the fifth starter, you can try Barry Zito and sign a Jon Garland-like veteran to fill the role for a year, hoping Eric Surkamp grows enough at Triple-A. Any thoughts? -- Joe V., Burbank, Calif. 交易Wilson或是Sanchez获取打击成员?像是Ellsbury之类的球员，不仅能增火力还 能空出$8 million到$10 million的空间去留住剩下的投手群，虽然Wilson真的 很令人喜爱，但我们要得不是信仰而是胜利，他虽然离去不过後援投手群还是非常强势 ，农场中更有优质的终结投手Heath Hembree(Casilla：Me too)，至於第5号先发 ，好吧就给Zito或是签个像Jon Garland之类能填补一定效率的投手，也期待着 Surkamp再3A大放异彩吧。 In theory, this plan might work. However, most teams probably would be wary of Wilson for several reasons: the barking elbow that limited him to two appearances after Aug. 15; his rising walk and declining strikeout ratios, which is a highly ominous combination; and the same $8.5 million salary for 2012 that the Giants would be trying to shed. Wilson will be arbitration-eligible again after next season, which is bound to make him even more pricey if he remains effective. Wilson不仅连两次受到伤病影响，这一次的压制能力也滑落不少，这可能是各个 球队所担心的 Moreover, with Javier Lopez and Guillermo Mota eligible for free agency, Santiago Casilla and Ramon Ramirez eligible for arbitration (making them vulnerable to being non-tendered) and a decision looming regarding Jeremy Affeldt's $5 million contract option for 2012, the quality of the Giants' bullpen is no longer a given. 後援投手很强没错，不过现在球队里可有一堆後援投手要搞 On the other hand, as Wilson's television advertisements indicate, whichever team he plays for will have a budding actor on its pitching staff! 可能没啥地方可以去，其他队也有这样的球员等着上来 --
