文章有點長 http://tinyurl.com/8av8sks By John Schlegel NL MVP vote looks like a choice among three Braun, Posey, McCutchen top candidates, with Giants catcher possibly holding edge 國聯MVP大概就是Braun, Posey, 海賊王之爭而Posey看來機會頗大 As a trio of candidates dominates the National League Most Valuable Player Award discussion, the reigning NL MVP being among them creates a unique element to be considered. The scenario that had Ryan Braun somehow playing himself out of the discussion, thus saving voters from judging whether his overturned positive performance-enhancing drug test last offseason should be a factor in the considerations, has not transpired -- to no one's surprise. 不意外的去年球季完的禁藥風波讓Braun未選先輸一半這件事會成為影響投票者意向的因素之一 Braun's 2012 season edging ever closer in numbers and otherwise to his MVP performance of a year ago, the Brewers left fielder is again a top candidate -- and what happened after his 2011 crowning may or may not matter, depending on the voter. Braun今年球季甚至比去年MVP級的表現來的更好所以再次成為熱門人選至於去年的事件會不會影響...就要看投票者怎麼看待了 Just as important to the discussion: This is not a one-candidate race. Voters have viable choices. Two other candidates -- San Francisco's Buster Posey and Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen -- are as compelling as Braun. 不過還有另外兩位選手 Posey和海賊王 With Posey fulfilling his two-way role as catcher and cleanup hitter with a second-half flourish and McCutchen using his full toolbox to will his team deeper into contention this year than last, the three All-Stars are widely considered the head of the NL class as this year's ballot reaches the members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America who will cast their votes at the end of the regular season. Posey擁有捕手守位與清壘能力 V.S. 全能海賊王兩人的MVP競爭更勝去年 Whatever else comes into the conversation, this much is clear: All three have defined the word "valuable" on many levels for their respective clubs. For one objective observer who happens to own hardware with the words "Most Valuable Player" etched on it, that's the overriding factor in all of it: what that player did for his team, and how his team benefited from his presence. 一個MVP最重要的就是他為球隊貢獻什麼還有他的表現對如何幫助球隊 (有點廢話) "It really is the ultimate team award, because for you to have the numbers that you have, so many things factor into that," says Jason Giambi, the Rockies veteran who won the American League MVP Award in 2000 with a breakout season not only for himself but for the A's. "You're getting pitches to hit because guys are on base, there's all the guys you drive in, and the team has to play well." 「MVP就是最終極的團隊獎項，能獲得MVP的眾多因素都要歸功於整個隊伍。因為隊友在壘上你才能面對投手賺進打點而且球隊必須表現出色才行」技安比如是說 (題外話今年球季結束Giambi也要退休了) In this year's model, Braun, Posey and McCutchen have been valuable to their teams, and their teams have contended well into the season. 旨揭三人在今年球季都幫助球隊保持競爭力 They're not the only three NL players who should be considered, of course. The league's two best teams have been considered group efforts in general, although the Reds' Jay Bruce and the Nationals' Adam LaRoche have put together noteworthy seasons. Similarly, the Cardinals' continued contention has been fueled by Matt Holliday and Yadier Molina, the latter sharing with Posey the factor of being a premier catcher. Among teams out of contention, the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton and the Padres' Chase Headley are among those who have warranted attention as well. 當然還有其他人紅人的Jay Bruce 國民的臘肉許也值得關注紅雀Matt Holliday還有摸小弟也幫球隊一路追趕摸小弟也是Posey在最佳捕手中的競爭對手馬林魚的Stanton還有教士Chase Headley也可以算進來只是他們的球隊戰績實在是..... As usual, the decision could come down to the wire -- for example, Braun's Brewers making the playoffs and Matt Kemp's Dodgers going home likely had an effect on last year's vote. 跟往年一樣 MVP就是要看你的球隊有沒有提早放寒假啦.... 看看去年Kemp的悲劇... As is unusual, this year's vote is prefaced by the fact that Braun tested positive for testosterone after winning the NL MVP Award a year ago. That test would have triggered a 50-game suspension, but it was overturned on appeal in an arbitration decision. Where voting members stand on that issue likely will be evident in the election results. 不一樣的是因為有去年Braun的禁藥事件投票者對此的立場也會影響今年的結果 On the field, Braun's 2012 performance has been definitive of an MVP candidate. Braun在球場上的表現絕對足以成為MVP候選人 Through Thursday's games, he leads the NL in home runs (40), total bases (327), slugging percentage (.596) and OPS (.983), is tied for the lead in RBIs (105) and is second in runs scored. He's done it without his longtime power partner Prince Fielder -- although Aramis Ramirez has been very much up to the task as Braun's protector, as evidenced by his huge game Thursday, when he drove in three runs in a big win over Pittsburgh. 禮拜四的比賽後 Braun在全壘打壘打數長打率 OPS都領先國聯打點並列第一得分排名第二而且還是在沒有小王子的加持下達成的不過禮拜四的比賽看得出他多少還是有Aramis Ramirez的保護 How all that adds up for Braun, and whether the successful appeal of the suspension plays into it, really nobody knows. 今年的成績還有禁賽的上訴成功究竟結果會如何咧? 誰知道.. "We'll see," Braun said upon hitting his 40th homer of the season and 200th of his career on the same swing last weekend. "It's just like everything else -- we'll play it out. But if I'm even in the conversation, it means I've done pretty well and the team's done pretty well, so that's always a good thing." 「最後就知道啦」Braun說，他上禮拜打出本季第40轟也是生涯第兩百轟「就像其他事情一樣，我們都會竭盡全力。如果我有在MVP的討論當中，那表示我幹得不錯，這永遠都是好事。」 Ditto for the Giants, mere days from clinching the NL West, and Posey, who has been at the center of it all. 同樣在國聯西區領先的巨人隊，Posey也是眾所矚目的焦點 Lest anyone forget, Posey missed most of the 2011 season after a devastating leg injury on a play at the plate. The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year Award winner returned to health to earn his first All-Star start and has posted a second half without NL peer. Since the break, Posey leads all of baseball with a .392 average, .467 on-base percentage and 1.125 OPS, and leads the NL with 20 doubles during that span, while ranking third in RBIs with 52. He has hit 13 of his 23 homers in the second half. 別忘了 Posey去年因為本壘攻防造成腳傷錯過大部分賽季這位2010國聯新人王今年下半季表現爆衝明星賽後 AVG.392 OBP.467 OPS1.125 國聯最多的20支二壘安打還有當時排名第三的52RBI 他的23轟有13支是下半季打出來的 Not coincidentally, the Giants have stretched out their lead in the NL West despite losing first-half star Melky Cabrera to a 50-game suspension for performance-enhancing drug use. 儘管上半季的強者奶弟因為吃藥被禁賽巨人還是延續了他們在國西的領先這可不是巧合 Meanwhile, guiding the league's No. 2-rated pitching staff, Posey has caught in 107 games, in addition to making 26 starts at first base. Posey也為聯盟排名第二的投手陣容蹲捕了107場比賽還有先發一壘手26場 "When you talk about the Most Valuable Player, his name has to be mentioned for what he's done for us," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. 「說到MVP 就不能不提到他的名字他為我們貢獻良多啊」巨人總教練這樣說 Perhaps none of the three has as much riding on his team's performance as McCutchen, whose Pirates have been struggling to stay in the expanded Wild Card race. 但是可能沒有人像McCutchen一樣帶領海賊苦苦追趕國聯外卡 McCutchen was an All-Star for a second straight year, this time entering the break with a .362 average, 18 homers and 60 RBIs -- the best first half in his storied franchise's history. His production fell off with a rough August, but he has gotten back into gear in September -- a prerequisite for an MVP candidate, to be sure. It appears only the suspended Cabrera's average of .346 might be better than McCutchen's .339. The Bucs center fielder will likely be the league leader in hits and runs, and his defense has made him a viable Gold Glove candidate as well. 海賊王今年是第二次入選ALL STAR 上半季AVG.362 18轟 60打點都是海賊隊史最佳雖然八月烙賽但是9月慢慢回神了想拿MVP當然不能在9月烙賽啊海賊王的打擊率僅次於被禁賽的奶弟沒意外的話打擊率和得分應該可以持續領先國聯而且還是金手套熱門 "It's a very special time and place for him in the game. We're seeing a superstar grow up right in front of our eyes," said Clint Hurdle, his manager on the Pirates. 「目睹一位超級巨星在此時此地成長真的非常特別」海盜隊總教練說。 Boil down all the ingredients, add other factors to the mix and the question is asked every year: What does it mean to be the league's Most Valuable Player? 所以啦總而言之什麼才是MVP? "I think it's what you mean to your team, the year that you have, how you play down the stretch, those are all things that factor into winning it," said Giambi, who batted .396 with 13 homers and 32 RBIs in 28 September/October games in 2000. 「我覺得MVP的關鍵在於你對於球隊代表什麼你的球季表現如何幫助球隊競爭」大吉這麼認為。 Time remains, things can change, and he doesn't have a vote. But Giambi says it's Posey who has all the right stuff this year. 大吉覺得Posey具備所有條件了 "Right now, in my opinion, I'd say Buster's the front-runner, for sure," Giambi said. "The biggest thing is he does a phenomenal job, not only offensively but catching, and when he's not catching, he plays first. He's definitely a valuable member of that team." 「現在就我來看我認為Posey領先其他選手無庸置疑」吉昂比說「最重要的是他有傑出的表現，無論是進攻或是蹲捕，就算沒有蹲捕，他也是守一壘他絕對是巨人最有價值的球員。」第一次翻有錯請更正 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.253.63.60
