http://tinyurl.com/9z6zlwd Zack Greinke: Texas Rangers Should Break the Bank on Top Free Agent 在2012交易大限前，Zack Greinke有可能成為條子的一員，但是他最後卻到了天使 The possibility of Zack Greinke in a Texas Rangers uniform ultimately fell through at the 2012 MLB trading deadline, as he went to AL West divisional rival Los Angeles instead. 然而，T.R Sullivan相信球團會在季後賽後，不計代價的簽下這位在2009拿過賽揚獎的 投手 However, MLB.com's Rangers beat writer T.R. Sullivan believes the franchise will take another look at him in the free-agent market this offseason, where they would be wise to break the bank on the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner. 直到Josh Hamiltom可能會被罵翻的季末大崩盤前，阿靈頓球場最大的問題依然是 缺少可靠的先發投手群 Pending free-agent Josh Hamilton may bear the brunt of the blame for the Texas Rangers' shocking late-season collapse. But the biggest problem in Arlington remains lackluster starting pitching Sullivan寫到:條子在交易大限前，展現了極大的決心要追他，他是在市場中最好的投手 而且我們需要強化我們的先發，...條子會在今年冬天成為強力追逐Zack Greinke的球隊 之一，以強化他們的先發輪值 Sullivan writes: The Rangers made a strong push for him at the Trade Deadline, he is the premier pitching free agent on the market and this is still an organization that wants to build around pitching...Look for the Rangers to be one of the major pursuers for Greinke this winter in an attempt to reinforce their rotation. Suillivan一直是個非常可靠的消息來源，而且條子似乎非常有決心地要加強先發 Sullivan is a very reliable source, and it seems the organization itself wants to build around better starting pitching. 在2012年，條子的86場優質先發和3.99的ERA分別排在聯盟的14和16名，在這些指標 數據上，沒有一支打進季後賽的隊伍的ERA比條子差 In 2012, the team's 86 quality starts and combined 3.99 ERA were only good enough for 14th and 16th in the league, respectively, in those key categories. No playoff team had a worse team ERA than the Rangers did. 雖然Greinke今年的表現並沒有像他四年前般那樣的強，但他一來馬上可以成為條子的 一號先發，且他會成為條子若沒有簽下Hamilton和Napoli的救命仙丹 Although he hasn't quite matched his spectacular season of four years ago, Greinke would instantly become the ace in Texas. He will be needed even more desperately if the team can't hold onto Hamilton or catcher Mike Napoli for a reasonable price. 就目前的先發群來看，Holland表現讓人失望的一年，但明顯地他還有成長空間 達比修證明他可以適應大聯盟，並在第一年就拿下了16勝，Harrison拿下了18勝和 3.28的ERA，都是條子這季最好的先發表現 As the rotation stands right now, Derek Holland is coming off of a down year but has obvious potential, Yu Darvish proved that he could adjust to the MLB by winning 16 games in his first season, and Matt Harrison notched 18 victories and a 3.28 ERA, best among Ranger starters. 除了他們，還有兩百萬 一年約的Colby Lewis，和表現不佳的Feldman。還有在交易 大限前獲得的Dempster Beyond them, Colby Lewis cashed in a one-year deal for $2 million (via the Star-Telegram), but the struggling Scott Feldman also remains. One point that may be lost in the chaos of the Texas collapse is trade-deadline acquisition Ryan Dempster. 在小熊投的不錯後，Dempster被買來試圖要幫助條子的先發 ，他在條子取得5-5和5.09ERA的表現，並在這個季後會成為自由球員 After pitching well for the Chicago Cubs to start the season, Dempster was brought in to try to help out the Ranger rotation. He went on to post a 5-5 record with a 5.09 ERA, and will be a free agent as well this offseason. 雖然我們有不錯的先發陣容，但如果想在季後賽中走遠一點的話，更多的補強是 絕對必要的 There is definitely some promising depth to the rotation, but further fortification is necessary for this team to contend deep in the postseason. Daniels可能會想且需要建造一個以Greinke為中心的先發陣容，來帶領這支球隊走過在 世界大賽中的痛 Headlining the rotation with Greinke might be the move Daniels and Co. need to make to get this team over the World Series hump. 有著條子強大的火力支援，Greinke可能會成為他生涯中第一次的20勝投手。 他只有28歲，給他一張長約會讓他為這支球隊一直投出不錯的成績 With the kind of run support the Rangers are capable of providing, Greinke could become a 20-game winner for the first time in his career. He is only 28 years old; so making a long-term investment in him would keep him with the team for the rest of his prime playing days. 我們對到底該不該簽回Hamilton還有許多的疑問，雖然他的砲管是難以取代的， 但不管怎樣，在這個難關上，條子一定會變得更好 There are still plenty of doubts about Hamilton re-signing. His offensive production will be difficult to replace, but no matter what, the Rangers must get better on the bump. 在這個冬天，就讓我們從獲得Greinke開始吧 That starts with a redemptive effort to acquire Greinke this winter. 看來條子應該是毫無意外且必須要追到Zack Greinke，但我們有像洋基或老虎那樣 的有錢嗎?我覺得簽下Greinke後，我們根本沒錢再追Hammy和Napoli了，希望不要 三者皆空阿 . --
