To get a sense of which teams are particularly imbalanced — and therefore need to target either pitchers or position players to shore up a roster deficiency — we plotted the wins above replacement (WAR) generated by position players so far this season against the WAR generated by pitchers. 大聯盟的（非讓渡）交易截止日期是在美東時間7/31下午4點，而這也是要競逐季後賽的 隊伍最後關頭要補足弱點的最後機會。為了看看有哪些隊伍投打特別不平均而需要鎖定投 手或野手來補強陣容，我們做了一張以各隊野手至今WAR為橫軸，投手WAR為縱軸的圖表： 本篇重點！ http://imgur.com/PT4L64B Teams farther above the dotted league-average line have received more WAR from pitchers than would be expected from their overall WAR total; they could conceivably use a bat to offset how pitcher-reliant they are. Conversely, teams below the dotted line have more WAR from position players than we’d expect from their overall WAR and would theoretically target pitchers at the deadline. 在代表聯盟平均的斜直線上方的隊伍，投手貢獻的WAR值佔整隊較高的比例，可想而知的 他們需要透過補進棒子來平衡對投手的依賴。相反的，在斜直線下方的球隊，其野手貢獻 的WAR比較多，因此理論上在交易大限前要瞄準投手來補強。 Some of the moves already made make sense within this context. Each of the top three available pitchers on the trade block — David Price, Cole Hamels and Johnny Cueto — went to teams that were hitter-heavy according to WAR this season. Then again, two of the top hitters (Troy Tulowitzki and Ben Zobrist) also went to teams who’ve received more WAR from position players than expected, so it will be interesting to see which types of teams make moves to address their weaknesses — or bolster their strengths — as the deadline looms. 有一些已經完成的交易是符合這樣的脈絡的，交易市場上前三大咖的投手，David Price 、Cole Hamels和Johnny Cueto都去了野手WAR較高的球隊。而市場上兩位重量級打者 Troy Tulowitzki和Ben Zobrist卻也各自去了野手WAR高的隊伍，看來接下來的發展會很 有趣，看看有哪些球隊在交易大限前會藉由交易補強他們的弱點，或是更加強化他們的優 勢呢？ -- 看看紅雀那高高在上的比例... --
