官網ㄉㄉ回答鄉民的疑問
<內文>
<問題一>
What are the Angels' future plans concerning Ervin Santana? Will they trade
him? Only pitch him at home? What about pitching prospect Nick Adenhart?
How close is he to being ready? -- Nicholas L., Covina, Calif.
凸塔那何去何從?艾登哈特小弟近況好嗎?
When Nolan Ryan, the greatest of all Angels pitchers, was Santana's age (24),
his record in the Major Leagues was 19-24. Fighting his control, Nolan went
10-14 that year for the New York Mets and was traded to the Angels for an
aging Jim Fregosi. At 25, Ryan found himself and launched a Hall of Fame
career. The Mets regretted their impatience for several decades.
萊恩大器晚成。
Santana's Major League record when he turned 24 was 28-16 -- significantly
better than Ryan's. Santana has struggled at times this season, but he also
has shown signs of greatness. I'm not suggesting that he's the next Ryan.
What I am saying is that it's always a good idea to exercise patience with
talent. Nurture it, give it room to grow and endure the hard times. The payoff
is worth it.
大家多多包涵啦!
I've been around Santana enough now to get a feel for what he's like; he's
sensitive, and that can be a problem for a professional athlete aiming to
please everyone. In time, he'll develop a thicker skin and learn how to carry
the same confidence he brings to Angel Stadium to road venues. It's part of
the process. This isn't fantasy baseball; these are real people.
凸同學臉皮薄,出外會害羞。
Adenhart, like Santana, has star qualities. My best guess is that he's at
least a year away from being part of a great rotation in Anaheim. No need to
rush a talent like him. Give him time to fill out, develop his full repertoire
with confidence and get a sense of dominating hitters at each level along the
way. That's an important step in the process.
這裡不是布朗克斯,艾登小弟慢慢來。

<問題二>
Who is the Angels' best Minor League power-hitting prospect? Who do you think
is the best hitter to protect Vladimir Guerrero on the current roster?
-- Donald L., Cincinnati
這人沒聽過 Brandon Wood 就寫信來問問題。
Brandon Wood unquestionably is the best power threat in the system. He's not
hitting with his familiar force at Triple-A Salt Lake, but all young hitters
go through these periods. Mike Schmidt struggled mightily before emerging as
a great power hitter. Mickey Mantle wanted to quit the game as a kid, and
Willie Mays wondered if he'd ever hit big-league pitching.
很多偉大球星年輕時也遇過瓶頸。
Gary Matthews Jr. has been solid hitting behind Guerrero, and he'd be just as
effective in the No. 3 spot with Vlad cleaning up. Garret Anderson's return
is a big plus; the man is a threat, no matter what his critics claim. He
commands respect.
人類生長激素和安大叔可以輔佐 Vladdy?What the fuck??
Casey Kotchman is a versatile hitter behind Guerrero, and Howie Kendrick will
evolve very soon into a 15-homer, .300 hitter capable of hitting anywhere in
the lineup. Mike Napoli has tremendous raw power and excellent knowledge of
the strike zone. Shea Hillenbrand -- yes, he has struggled -- has a history
of driving in runs. The Angels have lots of options there.
謝海倫 sucks。

<問題三>
What is the status of Dallas McPherson? Could he return this year? The Angels
could sure use his bat at third base.
-- Chuck P., Huntington Beach, Calif.
Dallas McPherson 還在人世嗎?
McPherson underwent serious back surgery on Jan. 22 for the removal of a
central disk herniation. The recovery is long and arduous. It is unrealistic
to think that he can come back this season.
The hope is that he'll take his time and be ready to go next season. He'll be
27 next spring, with a lot of good years left.
在,不過今年你看不到他。
</問題三>
<問題四>
If the Yankees go after Bartolo Colon in free agency, is there a chance that
the Angels might pursue Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez or another big-name
player?
-- Daniel M., Anaheim
這人吃帝國豆腐的方式真別致。
It is conceivable that there might be a far-reaching connection there --
Colon's salary could go toward a major import -- but we're getting too far
ahead of ourselves. We have two-thirds of a great season left. Let's enjoy it.
挖阿災。

<問題五>
Rumors are floating around that Troy Glaus is looking to get out of Toronto.
Is there a chance that he wears an Angels jersey again?
-- David V., Simi Valley, Calif.
葛老師會回柑仔縣教書嗎?
Third base is in good hands. I'm a big Chone Figgins fan; he's a winner, and
he'll prove that in a variety of ways, as he has the past few days in breaking
out of his slump. The guy had two fractured finger tips on his throwing hand,
for crying out loud. Give him a little time to get a grip on his game.
我對阿腿有信心。
As for Glaus, I have enough e-mails to realize that bringing the 2002 World
Series MVP home would be a immensely popular move. Realistically? Hey,
anything is possible. I'll leave you with my all-time favorite baseball quote
from former pitcher Joaquin Andujar: "You can sum it all up in one word:
youneverknow."
不過這問題的答案也是「挖阿災」。
