※ 引述《Belladonaa ()》之銘言： : : http://0rz.tw/kT8tB : Previewing the New York Yankees' 2009 Rotation: Chien-Ming Wang : After this offseason was complete with CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett many : thought those two were Yankees' manager Joe Girardi's one and two in the : rotation. But, Chien-Ming Wang has been one of the most stable pitchers in the : league since joining the Yanks in 2006. 去年季末補進了CC跟AJ後，很多人認為這兩位投手將會是洋基的1.2號先發。但自從老王在 06年加入洋基輪值後，他一直都是聯盟中最穩定的投手之一。 : Wang, last year's ace, will be Girardi's number two this year heading into the : 2009 season and it's a place where Wang can flourish because of his : high-groundball rate and his ability to pitch deep into ball games. 老王將在新球季擔任2號先發的責任，他有很高的滾球率以及可以在比賽中投長局數的能力 : Let's examine how Wang matches up against other number twos around the league. : In this study I will use a three-year time span for Tampa Bay's James Shields, : Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Blue Jays' No. 2 pitcher from last year, and : current Yankee pitcher A.J. Burnett in comparison to Chien-Ming Wang. 現在把老王跟東區這些二號投手三年內的成績做個比較 1.光芒聖盾：James Shields 2.紅襪牛肉：Daisuke Matsuzaka 3.藍鳥前二號：A.J. Burnett : The stat set we will use is Innings Pitched (IP), W-L Record, Strikeouts (K), : Walks (BB), ERA, ERA+, WHIP, Strikeouts per 9 innings (K/9), percentage of : batted balls that were groundballs (GB%), and groundball to flyball ratio : (GB/FB). 比較的數據有：IP、勝率、K、BB、ERA、ERA+、WHIP、K/9值、滾球％以及滾飛比。 : Since 2006, Wang has led these four pitchers in GB% (58.7), GB/FB (2.67) by a : very wide margin. Burnett in those same categories comes in at 51.3% GB and : 1.69 GB/FB which makes sense since they are both sinker ball pitchers. : Dice-K lives on the edge with an abysmal 38.5% GB and 0.89 GB/FB. 老王在滾球％以及滾飛比中遙遙領先。 : Wang also leads this group with a 46-15 record in three seasons, while pitching : 512.1 innings and sporting a 3.80 ERA. He also holds the the second-best ERA+ : out of the group at 118, only Dice-K is better at 126. 在勝率方面老王的46-15也領先，他這三年投了512.1IP以及平均3.8的ERA，在ERA+部份 老王的ERA+118只輸給松阪的126。 : Where Wang struggles is his WHIP and K/9 as they are 1.305 and 4.32, : respectively. Shields owns the best WHIP at 1.199 while Burnett takes the best : K/9 at 8.93, averaging almost a strikeout per inning. 在WHIP和K/9這個項目老王則是以1.305和4.32落後，這兩個項目由Shields的WHIP1.199和 AJ的K/9值8.93取得領先。 : In case you were wondering the full gamut of stats used, I will outline each : pitcher for you. BOLD indicates leader in that particular category. 以下是比較資料 : James Shields : IP: 554.2 : W-L: 32-24 : K: 448 : BB: 114 : ERA: 4.08 : ERA+: 112.3 : WHIP: 1.199 : K/9: 7.30 : GB%: 44.4 : GB/FB: 1.18 : A.J. Burnett : IP: 521.5 : W-L: 38-26 : K: 525 : BB: 191 : ERA: 3.93 : ERA+: 109.6 : WHIP: 1.279 : K/9: 8.93 : GB%: 51.3 : GB/FB: 1.69 : Daisuke Matsuzaka (松阪只有兩年) : IP: 372 : W-L: 33-15 : K: 355 : BB: 174 : ERA: 3.72 : ERA+: 126 : WHIP: 1.324 : K/9: 8.58 : GB%: 38.5 : GB/FB: 0.89 : K: 234 : Chien-Ming Wang : IP: 512.1 : W-L: 46-15 : K: 234 : BB: 148 : ERA: 3.80 : ERA+: 118 : WHIP: 1.305 : K/9: 4.32 : GB%: 58.7 : GB/FB: 2.67 : From this stat set, we can conclude that Wang fits in as a pretty dominate No. : 2 pitcher in the Yankees rotation. Surprisingly, A.J. would make a great No. 2 : pitcher also and gives the Yankees options. 從以上比較中我們可以評斷出老王在洋基的Rotation中是個非常好的2號先發，AJ也是。 : Girardi can put two power pitchers at the top of his rotation in CC and A.J. : who will give them high strikeout and decent groundball rates. Conversely, he : can put a power pitcher and a finesse pitcher back-to-back who will give them : decent strikeout rates but better groundball rate. 阿吉可以放兩個Power pitcher在輪值的前段，他們可以製造很多的K和還不錯的滾球率， 不過也可以放一個finesse pitcher在中間，他可以給你不錯的K值和很棒的滾球率。 : This is a good problem for the Yankees to have, unlike last year. After doing : this little study I'm convinced that the AL East has the best No. 2 pitchers : in the entire league, hands down. 這對洋基來說是個好問題，在這些比較後，我確定美東地區有全大聯盟最好的2號投手們 (金鶯：可以讓我也一起玩嗎？) Next time, I will cover A.J. Burnett and his place within the Yankees rotation. 下一次，我則會分析AJ在洋基中的定位。 --
