Twins announce Joe Mauer will move to first base in 2014

The Twins are moving Joe Mauer out from behind the plate and transitioning
him to first base in 2014, the team announced. The move was made due to
long-term health concerns, though he is now free of concussion systems and
working out with restrictions.
雙城考量到Joe Mauer的健康因素及長遠計畫宣布Mauer將在2014年球季轉守一壘
"After consultation with doctors from Mayo Clinic and team doctors, and given
the inherent risks of future injury at the catcher position, the organization
and Joe determined that it would be in the best interest of both him and the
Twins for a position change," said the club in a statement.
Mauer, 30, missed more than a month with a concussion after taking a foul tip
to the facemask this past season. He's also missed time with back, quad and
knee problems over the years. Catching is a rough business and those guys
usually don't remain productive into their mid-30s.
Mauer今年就因腦震盪進入DL休養了超過一個月，過去幾年也多次因背傷膝傷所困擾
再加上他已年滿30歲，年紀因素也是促使雙城做出此決定的原因之一
In 113 games in 2013, Mauer hit .324/.404/.476 (144 OPS+) with 11 home runs
and 47 RBI. Outside of his 28-homer, MVP-winning effort in 2009, Mauer has
averaged only 12 homers per 162 games played. His power is short for the
typical first base profile but he makes up for it with a super-high average
and on-base percentage.
Mauer今年的成績是.324/.404/.476 (144 OPS+) 11HR 47RBI
除了拿下MVP的09年打了28轟外，平均他162場可以打出約12轟
雖然不如典型的一壘手砲管那麼大支，但Mauer還是有著相當優秀的打擊率和上壘率
First base will not be a new experience for Mauer. He has played 54 games at
the position in recent years, including eight in 2013 and 30 in 2012. There
was some speculation the Twins would take advantage of his athleticism and
strong arm by moving Mauer to third base.
Mauer在這幾年也有多次守1B的經驗
There are still five years and $115 million left on Mauer's contract, so it's
no surprise the team is taking steps to ensure he remains healthy and
productive later into his career. The Twins could opt to pursue a free agent
catcher like Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Carlos Ruiz.
Mauer和雙城的約還有5年，價值115M
所以雙城為了長久之計做出讓Mauer轉守位的決定也不是那麼令人意外
雙城也是可以在自由市場上考慮Salty或是Carlos Ruiz這些選手來填補捕手的空缺
