※ 引述《jienan (哈哈)》之銘言： : Fifth-starter spot is up for grabs : Kuo, Loaiza could be in role by season's end for Dodgers : By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com : LOS ANGELES -- An imbalance in the makeup of the Dodgers roster has manager : Joe Torre and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt contemplating another change in : the fifth-starter spot. 不平衡的道奇投手名單，Torre 和投手教練 Honeycutt 深思熟慮之後，要對第五號先發 投手的位置，做一個不一樣的改變。 : Esteban Loaiza had the role for one start, then was replaced by Hong-Chih Kuo : for two starts, including Tuesday night's in Cincinnati, in which Kuo lasted : 3 2/3 innings. Loaiza之前是五號先發，然後 Kuo 替換他先發對紅人，那場比賽只投了3 2/3局。 : Even though Torre said on Tuesday night that he was anticipating keeping Kuo : in the rotation, on Wednesday he indicated that Loaiza and Chan Ho Park were : candidates to start on Sunday against Colorado. And not because of what Kuo : did or didn't do on Tuesday night, but because of what he could do out of the : bullpen. Torre 星期二晚上才說他會期待讓 Kuo 繼續先發，但星期三又說 Loaiza 和 Park 會成 為星期天對落磯的先發人選。還說這不是因為 Kuo 星期二先發表現的好與壞，是因為他 從牛棚出發也是可以勝任的。 : With Loaiza, Kuo and Park, the Dodgers have three career starters who are not : particularly comfortable or adept with the demands of relieving -- namely -- : to warm up quickly and pitch frequently. With Takashi Saito as the closer and : Jonathan Broxton as the setup man, the only true relievers available to Torre : are Joe Beimel and Scott Proctor. 道奇擁有 Loaiza、Kuo 和 Park 三個之前都是先發的投手，他們沒辦法熱身快速，並不 適合後援投手的工作。去掉關門人 Saito ，Setup man Broxton，Torre 能用的牛棚投手 只剩下 Beimel 和 Proctor。 : And with Dodgers starters averaging only 5 1/3 innings, as Honeycutt puts it, : "We've got to have a more useable bullpen." 而且道奇的先發投手平均只能投5又1/3局，投手教練對此說到：「我們必須擁有更多可用 的後援投手。」 : One option would be to increase the pitching staff from 11 to 12, but that : would require reducing one position player. If it's Delwyn Young, he could be : lost through waivers. Torre isn't comfortable removing rookie Blake DeWitt, : because he's the only true third baseman on the bench. Starter Nomar : Garciaparra needs time off and Torre isn't comfortable with Chin-lung Hu, a : natural middle infielder, playing third. 有一個選擇是讓投手陣容從11增加到12人，但是這需要減少一個其他位置的選手，如果 這個人是 Delwyn Young ，那他大概要被丟到讓渡名單了，Torre 也不會想丟 Dewitt 這個唯一在板凳中真正的三壘手，因為先發陣容中的 Garciaparra 還需要時間，也不是 很希望讓 Hu，這個原本的二遊防守者兼職三壘。 : "We have to go to 12, but we can't do that now because of Nomar, in my mind," : said Torre. "It's a little tough right at this minute." 「我們希望能增加投手陣容到12人，但是因為 Nomar，現在還沒有辦法」Torre說：「 現在的確有點緊迫。」 : The third-base dilemma would have been solved if Tony Abreu's groin muscle : had ever healed. After being examined by a Philadelphia specialist on : Tuesday, he had an MRI in Los Angeles Wednesday and met with team doctor Neal : ElAttrache and the club had yet to announce a timetable for his return. : Kuo is attractive in relief because has the kind of stuff that can put down : an inning with a strikeout. Neither Park nor Loaiza are strikeout pitchers : anymore. 如果 Tony Abreu的傷已經痊癒，那三壘手的問題就有些舒緩了，經過一連串的檢查， 但還沒有一個哪時復出的時間表。 Kuo 轉往牛棚是滿有吸引力的，因為他有非常好的 三振率，這是 Loaiza 或 Park 不能做到的。 : But putting Kuo in the bullpen for frequent use is risky, because he's : already had four operations on his elbow, two of them Tommy John : reconstructions. 但是把 Kuo 丟到牛棚，經常使用他，是有相當程度的危險性的，因為他的手肘已經動過 四次刀，其中包括兩次 Tommy John 重建手術。 : "But he's been bouncing back the day after he throws," said Honeycutt. : "Unless something would change there, I think he's been healthier than in any : of the years we've had him." 「但是在他投完球之後，沒有發生什麼不適。」 投手教練 Honeycutt 說：「除非發生 什麼變化，今年比我們擁有他的任何一年，都還來的健康許多。」 : Of Kuo's 50 appearances, 26 have been out of the bullpen. Park has started : 275 of 330 games, while Loaiza has started 331 of 372 games. Kuo has a 3.60 : ERA this year, Park 3.27 and Loaiza 4.32. Kuo 的50場出賽中有26場在牛棚，Park 則是330場中有225場先發，Loaiza 372場中有331 場先發，Kuo的今年的ERA 3.60，Park 3.27，Loaiza 4.32。 : When the Dodgers go to a 12th pitcher, which Torre said is inevitable, the : leading candidate is Yhency Brazoban, who was dominant after opening the : season at Double-A and has been promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas. Torre 說過的12人投手陣若是發生，那從小聯盟拉上來最好的候選人大概是 Yhency Brazoban，他開季屠殺了AA，然後升到了AAA。 : http://0rz.tw/fb41s --
