接續... : : The other problem with New York was their offense. The Yankees ranked 7th in : the A.L. in RS/G. No matter what anyone tells you, that is a problem for the : Bombers. New York could have masked some of their deficiencies had they hit : like we thought they would heading into 2008, but instead the offense flopped : and that combined with bad starting pitching produced a nightmare for Yankees : fans everywhere. 另一個問題在於進攻，洋基去年在米聯RS/G排第七，這對布朗克斯轟炸機而言 是個大問題，或許洋基會說這是因預期2008會有好表現的打線出現缺口所致， 但是更糟糕的是打線缺口加上先發投手的極糟表現為洋基迷們帶來夢靨 : : Posada missed two-thirds of the season. Cano got off to a hellacious start. : Matsui missed time. Melky Cabrera was awful. Father Time is catching up with : Derek Jeter and A-Rod had an even-numbered offensive year instead of a usual : odd-numbered MVP year. Posada's replacement, Jose Molina, posted a 51 OPS+ : meaning the Yankees were likely playing with two automatic outs in the lineup : with Molina & Cabrera for most of the season. When the Yankees went out and : got Ivan Rodriguez, he too posted an OPS+ of 51 and Brett Gardner was worse : than Cabrera offensively if you can actually believe that. : 波波缺席了2/3球季,小阿Q開季表現不好，大松井受傷缺席，牛奶弟糟透了，隊長跟 A-God偏逢偶數年(這是怎樣...=.=//)，波波的替補摸二哥那迷人的51 OPS+，光是 摸二哥跟牛奶弟整季這樣的表現就替打線自動增加兩個出局數(好酸....=.=)，外援 Pudge來到洋基表現也沒好到哪(OPS+ 51),園丁進攻比牛奶弟還糟。 : : Even if you are the Yankees, it's too difficult to play with 7 offensive : players in the lineup instead of 9 given the vagaries of the AL East. : : And thus we come to 2009. Despite protests that the Yankees overspent, the : bottom line is that the Yankees are likely to have a lower payroll in 2009 : than they had in 2008. Out goes Jason Giambi at 1B replaced by Mark Teixeira : who should give a little better offensive production while simultaneously : giving great defense, which is something Giambi couldn't do. In a masterful : move, Brian Cashman didn't trade away any of his pitching prospects so coming : into the fold in 2009 were CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett to go along with : Hughes, Kennedy, Chamberlain and Wang with Andy Pettitte still being a : possibility if both he and the Yankees can work out a contract in the : interim. Dan Giese still provides some depth as does Alfredo Aceves. That's : potentially 9 starting pitchers competing for 5 spots in spring training. 洋基這樣的打線可以排第七已經很不錯。 然而2009球季即將到來，儘管很多人抗議洋基帝國的邪惡，但是2009payroll應該 會比2008低一點(好像也沒低多少)，送走Giambino，簽了鐵爺，讓1B進攻防守同 時升級，而GM現金人也幹了很多好事，在簽下CC, AJB同時也留下了農場投手prospect 所以2009先發投手共計CC、AJB、大帝、總統、喬巴、王和派派(好堅強阿....!? 是吧 ?!)，此外Giese跟Aceves也讓投手板凳深度增加不少，最多可有9位先發投手要在春訓 中競爭開季5位先發。 : : It's been a huge offseason for the Yankees. Let's now look at the players. 對洋基而言，今年陣容堅強，讓我們來瞧瞧 (待續....) --
