2013 Preview: San Francisco Giants D.J. Short Mar 16, 2013, 5:30 PM EDT http://ppt.cc/LcIs TheBigQuestion: Can the Giants hold off the Dodgers in the National League West? 首要课题：巨人军是否能够打败世仇道奇? Fresh off a magical run which led to their second World Series title in the past three seasons, the Giants have mostly kept the band together.Giants general manager Brian Sabean pulled it off by retaining three key contributors from the 2012 team. 甫得到过去三年内的第二座世界大赛冠军，巨人军大致维持住队形。 GM Sabean留下三位在2012年具有指标性贡献的球员。 Marco Scutaro, who batted .362 after coming over from the Rockies and played the role of hero during the postseason, is back on a three-year, $20 million contract. Angel Pagan, who thrived in his first season with the club, was re-signed for four years and $40 million. Jeremy Affeldt, who owns a 2.73 ERA over four seasons with the Giants, was brought back on a three-year,$18 million contract. Scutaro → 3年/20M Pagan → 4年/40M Affeldt → 3年/18M It’s a little much to ask Scutaro to replicate what he did down the stretch last season, as it was fueled by a .366 batting average on balls in play. He's also 37 years old and has dealt with injuries in recent seasons. Scutaro去年的BABIP是.366的高，令人好奇的是他能否复制相同的成绩，因为他已经37岁 了，而且近几季有伤痛问题。 Hunter Pence batted just .219 with seven home runs in 59 games after coming over from the Phillies last season, so the Giants need him to bounce back in his walk year. Pence来到旧金山後的成绩就不甚理想，59场出赛仅有AVG.219 / 7HR，巨人军亟需他的触 底反弹。 2012 National League MVP Buster Posey is the best bet in the lineup, but he plays the most demanding position in the sport. 2012 NL MVP Posey是打线中最棒的，但他的位置是球场上最吃力的。 It would be nice if Pablo Sandoval managed to play a full season while staying in the Giants’ good graces from a conditioning perspective. (功夫熊猫这句看不太懂，再麻烦补充了;)) Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner have the potential to be one of the best 1-2 combos in the game, but getting a rebound season out of Tim Lincecum would provide a huge boost to the starting rotation. Cain和Bumgarner将会是很棒的1-2号SP，但若Licecum找回身手，就会让先发轮值往上提 升许多。 His 5.18 ERA last season was fourth-highest among qualified starters while his walk rate has jumped from 2.7 BB/9 to 4.4 BB/9 since 2009. The good news is that the strikeouts were still there last year. While Lincecum has received plenty of attention this spring for his new haircut, he’s hoping that an offseason strength and conditioning program will pay dividends on the mound. Don’t rule it out. He pitches in a great home park to facilitate a rebound. 在符合条件的SP群里，他的5.18 ERA排第四高，并且BB/9也升高至4.4。庆幸的是，三振 功力还在!尽管Lincecum的新发型已经吸引不少目光，我们会希望他在季外的调整可以如实 反映在投手丘上。并非不可能噢，他在主场投球有助於表现的反弹。 It’s a little odd to see a team which won the World Series be overshadowed by a division rival, but that’s exactly what happened this winter with the high-spending Dodgers.On paper, they are a serious threat to take the division. But we have seen spending sprees backfire in baseball before, so it’s hardly a guarantee of success. Still, the margin for error figures to be smaller than last year, so Bruce Bochy’s squad needs a lot of things to go right to have a chance at a repeat. 世界大赛冠军的队伍却被笼罩在分区世敌的阴影下的确有点怪，但道奇真的 花了不少钱。纸上谈兵的话，他们真的是严重的威胁。但我们已经看过花钱却失败的案例 了，因此道奇是否成功难以保证。然而，今年容许失误的空间的确变小了，因此Bochy团队 必须在许多方面走上正轨以重复过去成功。 What else is going on? 还有呢? *　With Brian Wilson out of the picture, the Giants are set to give Sergio Romo a chance at the closer role. 在大胡子Wilson无法出赛的情况下，巨人让Romo去接closer。 The 30-year-old right-hander boasts a brilliant 2.20 ERA for his career and was dominant down the stretch last year and during the postseason, so it’s hard to find a more deserving candidate. 这位30岁的右投的有着不错的生涯ERA，以及去年赛季的宰制表现，实在难以取代。 However, the Giants have always been extra careful about his workload because he relies so heavily on his knockout slider. 但是，巨人军对这位重度倚赖滑球的投手必须格外注意他的工作量。 Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez and Affeldt also figure to get save chances. 因此Casilla、Lopez和Affeldt也可能分摊关门的工作。 * The Giants never considered bringing Melky Cabrera back following his 50-game suspension for synthetic testosterone, so they are hoping that a combination of Gregor Blanco and a returning Andres Torres will be able to hold things down in left field. 在小毒奶发生因禁药而来的50场禁赛後，巨人军便不曾考虑回签他，因此我们会希望 Blanco和Torres可以胜任在左外野的工作。 Defense shouldn’t be an issue, but they aren’t the most inspiring combination offensively. If there’s a spot where the Giants could look for an upgrade during the season, this is it. 防守应该不成问题，但他们在进攻方面的表现有待加强。如果球队能够在季中找到升级的 方案，那就对罗。 * Barry Zito is entering the final guaranteed year of his infamous seven-year, $126 million contract, as the Giants can buy out his 2014 option for $7 million. Zito不漂亮的七年126M合约中保障的最後一季，在这之後巨人军就可用7M买断2014的合约。 With a 58-69 record and a 4.47 ERA over six seasons with the club, there’s no disputing that he is one of the biggest free agent busts of all-time. 随队六季缴出58W-69L / 4.47 ERA的成绩，他毫无疑问会是史上FA大地雷之一。 But his surprising postseason heroics have at least assured him of a special place in franchise history. 但去年季後赛的惊人表现将确保他将会在队史上留名。 * Could this be the year that Brandon Belt breaks out? The 24-year-old has shown good patience and a penchant for spraying line drives, but he has just 16 home runs over his first 681 plate appearances in the majors. 今年会是Belt爆发的一年吗?24岁的小伙子已经展现了不错的耐心以及喷射line-drive的 倾向，但这两年的681次PA里面他只打了16发HR。 That’s quite a contrast to what he did in the minor leagues. 这和他在小联盟的表现大异其趣。 The Giants will have to hope that his strong performance down the stretch last year and hot hitting this spring is a harbinger for things to come. 巨人军会希望他延续去年的好表现，并期待春训的火热棒子是今年爆发的预兆。 Prediction: It will be close, but I have the Giants repeating as the NL West winners. 预测：巨人军会在相当接近的情况下再度称霸国联西区。 -- Cain's perfect game Yes, he Cain!!! http://goo.gl/mN1kv Wednesday, June 13, 2012 IP H R ER BB SO Cain 9.0 0 0 0 0 14 --
