Some bits and pieces from Cashman 一些消息 Brian Cashman just met with the New York reporters who are here. As you might imagine, it’s not like he sits there and runs down the list of players he wants. But a few interesting things did come out of the session: 1. He does not consider center field a priority. With Brett Gardner, Johnny Damon and Melky Cabrera around and Austin Jackson on the way, the Yankees are deep there. 他不認為CF是個重點位置，因為他們有Brett Gardner, Johnny Damon Melky Cabrera，再加上一個預期或許可以幫忙的 Austin Jackson 2. The Yankees are out to acquire two starters. “We won’t be one and done,” Cashman said. You can interpret that in a few ways. It could be one new player and Andy Pettitte, two new players or maybe two new players and Pettitte. Cashman said that right now, Wang and Joba are the only starters he has. 洋基會找兩個先發投手，他說：「我們不會只找一個然後就說好了」 所以彼得認為可能性如下： 一個新投手加上 Andy Pettitte 兩個新投手 兩個新投手加上 Andy Pettitte Cashman說他目前有的先發是王建民和Joba 3. Joba will start the 2009 season as a starter and they’ll come up with a plan to protect him as best they can. Joba明年是從先發定位出發，然後會想辦法盡全力保護他 4. Ian Kennedy will pitch winter ball in Puerto Rico. He is Tampa throwing now and is scheduled to start his first game on Friday. Kennedy會去波多黎各打冬季聯盟，目前他在Tampa，星期五會是他冬聯第一次先發。 5. Robbie Cano has been cleared to play one month in the Dominican Winter League starting Nov. 22. He’ll DH only. Kevin Long will be in the Dominican on Nov. 15 for a week to work with Robbie on the swing changes they incorporated at the end of last season. Cano11.22起將會去打一個月的多明尼加冬聯，只打DH。 打擊教練將會在11.15到多明尼加跟Cano花一個星期時間調整。 6. The Yankees are close to naming a third base coach and it sounds like it will come from within. That could mean Luis Sojo. 洋基大概快要宣布新的三壘教練，大概會是內升，可能就是Luis Sojo 7. Cashman said they were sorry to lose Rafael Chaves. But he was getting a promotion with the Dodgers. Cashman對於失去Rafael Chaves感到遺憾，但是認為他去道奇是升官了。 (註：來自另一篇：Scranton pitching coach Rafael Chaves has left the organization to become the minor-league pitching coordinator of the Dodgers.) 8. Cashman hasn’t spoken to Mike Mussina since calling him a few days after the season to congratulate him on winning 20 games. He claims not to know whether the Moose will retire. Cashman球季結束後幾天曾打電話給Moose恭喜他有個20勝球季， 但那之後就還沒有聯絡，並說他不知道Moose會不會退休。 9. Not that you care much. But Eric Milton and Victor Zambrano are free agents again. The Yankees basically paid them to throw bullpens in Tampa last year. I would assume that gives them a leg up should they want to bring them back. Eric Milton and Victor Zambrano又是自由球員了。 洋基去年簽下他們基本上是讓他們在坦帕投牛棚而已。 我猜洋基可能會把他們在簽回來 Back with more later.
