Brian McCann Now Expendable for Atlanta Braves
BY CHRIS STEPHENS (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON MARCH 25, 2013

Brian McCann is no longer a necessity at catcher for the Atlanta Braves.
小麥肯不再是斧頭幫必要的捕手。
Most Atlanta fans never thought they would hear that.
大多數勇士迷從來沒有想過他們會聽到這款代誌。
In fact, some fans would consider it blasphemy to speak that way. Then again,
those are the same fans that are still angry with the Braves over how the team
handled the Jeff Francoeur and Tom Glavine situations.
事實上,有一些球迷會認為此話有辱小麥肯。同時,這跟那些依然不爽勇士隊是如何處置
粉酷及老葛的,都是一樣的球迷。
Like Francoeur, McCann is a hometown kid, which makes it even more personal
for fans.
小麥肯跟粉酷一樣嚨係在地囝仔,這使得球迷對他更加帶有個人情感。
But, when McCann becomes a free agent after the 2013 season, he is not a must-
sign for the Braves.
但是,當小麥肯在2013賽季之後成為自由球員時,他不是勇士隊必需要簽的球員。
His offensive numbers have been there (for the most part) but consider his
numbers behind the plate.
他的進攻數據一直保持水準(在大多數情況下),但是想一想他在本壘板後的數字。
Over the last two years, McCann has allowed 180 stolen bases. It may not make
a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but it's still a high number
to give up.
在過去的兩年裡,小麥肯已經被偷了180個壘包。總體來說不會令戰績有太大的差別
(譯註:這句沒把握),但它仍是個令人絕望的數字。
Injuries, cost and the emergence of Evan Gattis have shown the Braves would be
better suited to spend their money elsewhere.
痛痛,成本以及 Evan Gattis 的出現顯得斧頭幫把錢花到別的地方會更恰當。
Injuries
痛痛
The last two years have been anything but great for McCann in the injury
department.
對小麥肯來說過去身為傷兵的兩年決不美好。
While his numbers have been decent (.251 BA, 44 HR, 138 RBI), McCann has also
missed games due to injuries.
儘管他的數據一直不錯(0.251 BA,44 HR,138 RBI),小麥肯依然因為受傷而錯過比賽
。
Some of the time missed was due to blurry vision, which started back in 2009.
有些比賽的錯過是因為自2009年開始的視力模糊問題。
Add in the fact that McCann will miss the first few weeks of this season
(shoulder surgery), and there is concern there.
新的事實是小麥肯將錯過本賽季的前幾週(肩部手術),且仍然令人擔憂。
What makes it worse is David Ross is no longer with the team. In his place is
Gerald Laird, who the Braves signed in the offseason to replace Ross.
使事情變得更糟的是 David Ross 已經不在隊上。頂替他的是 Gerald Laird,勇士隊在
休季時簽下他以取代 David Ross。
The Cost
成本
There is no doubt McCann has been one of the better catchers in baseball since
2006.
毫無疑問自2006年以來小麥肯一直是棒球比賽中較佳的捕手之一。
But, is he worth $12 million a year, which is what he's making this year?
但是,他今年的表現會值一年 $12M 嗎??
You have to figure that number will be a starting point (at the very least) by
McCann's agent BB Abbott. Joe Mauer makes $23 million a year, while Yadier
Molina makes $14 million.
你要知道,這個數字將是小麥肯的經紀人 BB Abbott 的起價(至少)。貓兒 $23M/year
,而摸小弟 $14M/year。
Plus, you have to figure Buster Posey is about to get paid like crazy by the
San Francisco Giants.
你另外要知道 Buster Posey 領著老人隊支付的瘋狂高薪。
McCann is going to want to remain one of the highest-paid catchers in
baseball, although I don't expect him to ask for Mauer-type money.
麥肯會想保持身為棒球界的高薪捕手之一,雖然我不預期他會要求貓兒等級的薪水。
Even if it's $13-15 million a year, is it really worth it for the Braves?
即使是 $13M-$15M 鎂/年,對斧頭幫來說真的值得嗎?
Consider Jason Heyward just went through his first year of being arbitration
eligible. Freddie Freeman and Craig Kimbrel aren't far behind, either.
想一想,黑蛙剛剛經歷過他有仲裁資格的第一年。自由人和金寶也離薪資仲裁不遠了。
With the salaries of the Upton brothers, the money you're going to have to pay
Heyward and Kimbrel, and the money pit known as Dan Uggla, could the Braves
swing a major deal for McCann?
伴隨著 Upton 兄弟的薪資,即將付給黑蛙和金寶的錢,以及像阿瓜這樣的錢坑(譯註:
今年不回神就真的是了),勇士隊還能夠搞定小麥肯的合約嗎?
The emergence of Gattis
Gattis 出現
Gattis has been tearing up spring training this year.
今年 Gattis 已經在春訓脫潁而出。
While stats from the Grapefruit League must be taken with a grain of salt,
it's hard to look past what he's done.
雖然對出自 Grapefruit League 的統計數字要持保留態度,仍難以忽視他做到的事。
Through the spring, Gattis has hit .388 with five home runs, 14 RBI, five
doubles and 11 runs scored.
春訓期間,Gattis 繳出 .388、5 發長球,14 分打點,5 支二壘安打,得到 11 分。
He will likely spend a majority of the season in the minor leagues once McCann
returns from injury, but 2014 is a different story.
一旦小麥肯傷癒歸隊,本季 Gattis 可能多數時間會在小聯盟,但2014年會是不同的光景
。
Gattis will come into next year competing with Christian Bethancourt for the
starting role.
明年 Gattis 將與 Christian Bethancourt 競爭當家捕手的角色。
And, if Bethancourt continues to struggle, it will be all Gattis' for the
taking.
而且,如果 Bethancourt 繼續掙扎,捕手位置就是 Gattis 的。
The Braves have good, young talent at catcher. There's no need to pay someone
$13-15 million a year when you can have someone do just as well for a lot less
money.
勇士在捕手位置有著好天份的年輕球員。當你有一個一樣好(譯註:樂觀?)且便宜很多
的人選時,就沒有必要一年付 $13M-$15M 鎂給一個人。
