21. DH/OF Raul Ibanez 2013 Stats with Seattle Mariners G BA OBP SLG HR SB fWAR 124 .242 .306 .487 29 0 0.0 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 4 designated hitter, No. 3 outfielder Qualifying Offer: No Why Teams Want Him In 2013, MLB's quintessential "keep gettin' dem checks" guy became one of the oldest players ever with 50 extra-base hits in a season, per Baseball-Reference.com (subscription required). He's a safe bet to produce against right-handed pitching. 2013年，大聯盟典型的「鎮隊之寶」球員，居然還能變成打出50發長打的老將。用他去對付右投也有保障。 Much of Raul Ibanez's value to a team comes from his activities off the field. He uses 18 major league seasons of experience to mentors younger players, but he also makes a tremendous impact on the surrounding community. 本來Ibanez的作用在於場下的行為榜樣，他可用他18年的經驗教教小朋友，但沒想到他還是那樣的老而彌堅。 Ibanez was the Seattle Mariners' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award and winner of the 49th annual Hutch Award, per Greg Johns of MLB.com. 他也是水手提名Roberto Clemente Award，以及第49屆Hutch Award的得主。 Possible Suitors: 勇士、金鶯、天使、洋基 Latest Rumors Jayson Stark︰ It looks unlikely Raul Ibanez will be back in Seattle. Considering offers from multiple contenders. Among teams linked w/ him: Bal, Atl, NYY 感覺Ibanez不會留在水手了，金鶯、勇士、洋基是有可能的落腳處。 Throw the Angels into the Ibanez mix too, even though general manager Jerry Dipoto insists that he hasn't made a formal offer, reports Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. Ken Rosenthal notes that the designated hitter has thrived at Angel Stadium in the past. 我們也把天使也算進來囉，即便總管Jerry Dipoto堅持他還沒提正式的合約。但Ken Rosenthal寫道這位DH在天使球場表現不俗。 A second stint in New York seems improbable considering the team's jam-packed outfield and preference for a rotating DH spot. 但洋基外野人滿為患，排DH順序也不會太前面，故可能性也偏小。 22. 3B/1B Eric Chavez 2013 Stats with Arizona Diamondbacks G BA OBP SLG HR SB fWAR 80 .281 .332 .478 9 1 0.7 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 2 third baseman, No. 3 first baseman Qualifying Offer: No Why Teams Want Him The power has returned to Eric Chavez's bat over the past two seasons, as he's racked up 25 home runs in just 567 total plate appearances. In particular, Chavez continues to excel against right-handed pitching. 近兩季Chavez的砲管有回溫，567個打席就有25發全壘打，特別是他對右投更有一套。 The former Gold Glover has increased his versatility in recent years with a handful of starts at first base. 這位前金手套也展現出他的多功能，最近幾年多守一壘居多。 Possible Suitors: 響尾蛇、勇士、馬林魚、洋基、海盜、光芒、遊騎兵、國民 Latest Rumors Ken Rosenthal︰ #DBacks GM Towers says on conference call that he is in contact with E. Chavez and his agent and that all sides want resolution by holiday. 響尾蛇GM Towers在會議電話上說他跟Chavez的經紀人有聯繫，且雙方都想耶誕前搞定。 Agent Scott Leventhal tells Jon Heyman that Chavvy's "mind is wide open," so previous experience with Arizona shouldn't have much of an impact on his decision. 經紀人Scott Leventhal告訴Jon Heyman說「Chavvy的心是很開闊的。」所以之前跟響尾蛇的情誼不具有太大的影響。 MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports that, despite missing out on Juan Uribe, the Fish remain in pursuit of a third baseman. He specifically mentions Chavez as one of the few free-agent options, and he notes that they're reluctant to trade for fear of surrendering talented young pitching. 消息指稱，即便Uribe的爭奪戰失利，馬林魚還是在物色三壘手，故該消息特別提到Chavez 是少數可勝任的球員，且他們也不願意交易自己年輕投手去換。 If the 36-year-old cares about receiving significant playing time, Miami and New York should have the inside track. Neither has a better internal third-base candidate (assuming that Alex Rodriguez is suspended). 如果36歲的他會計較上場時間，馬林魚跟洋基是較好的歸宿，他們都沒有好的三壘手(假設 A-Rod被禁賽) 23. RP J.P. Howell 2013 Stats with Los Angeles Dodgers G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 67/0 62.0 2.18 2.89 7.84 3.34 0.7 Status: Deal pending with Los Angeles Dodgers (two years, $11.25 million) Position Rank: No. 6 relief pitcher Qualifying Offer: No (ineligible) Why Teams Wanted Him Since returning from shoulder surgery in 2011, J.P. Howell has allowed fewer than 23 percent of inherited baserunners to score. That's better than prominent southpaws like Scott Downs and Boone Logan have done over that same period. 2011年肩膀手術回來後，Howell承接壘上有人狀態，只讓不到23%的人回來，這使這位左腕在同期間跟Scott Downs與Boone Logan一樣讚！ He's a nightmare for left-handed opponents, but Howell also held righties to a .222/.312/.296 batting line last summer. Still only 30 years old, the confidence he has in off-speed pitches should allow him to age gracefully. 他也是左打的夢靨，但他對右打也有.222/.312/.296的不俗表現。且只有30歲，他的變速球亦讓他有本錢—活到老，投到老。 Contract Reaction and Consequences Ken Gurnick︰ Dodgers and reliever J.P. Howell closing in on a multi-year deal, according to baseball source. More soon on http://Dodgers.com . 道奇快跟Howell簽下複數年合約了(上面有寫2Y/11.25M) Howell won't match the three-year, $16.5 million guarantee that Boone Logan is getting from the NL West rival Colorado Rockies, but he actually has the opportunity to out-earn him. 他不會跟去落磯的Logan一樣，有3Y/16.5M，但他確實有機會削一筆。 MLB.com's Ken Gurnick hears that at least 120 appearances in 2014-2015 triggers a $6.25 million option for the following season, which would give him a three-year total of $17.5 million. So Howell can get there by simply maintaining his recent durability and effectiveness (122 appearances in 2012-2013). MLB.com的Ken Gurnick聽聞是2014-15出賽120場，再下一季就有6.25M選擇權，這樣就是 3Y/17.5M，所以他只要維持他的苦勞與高效能就賺得到(2012-13出賽122場) Everything about the Dodgers is expensive, but their bullpen bill is especially steep. 每樣東西在道奇都很貴，但牛棚帳單是真的太高、太不合理了。 Aside from Howell, setup man Brian Wilson has $10 million headed into his bank account this coming summer, and MLB Trade Rumors' Matt Swartz projects a $4.8 million arbitration settlement for closer Kenley Jansen. And let's not forget about Brandon League. There's another two years and $15 million to go on his head-scratching contract. Brain Wilson明年要拿10M，據傳Kenley Jansen也有4.8M的仲裁，且也別忘了Brandon League，他還有2Y/15M讓人頭痛的合約要走。 With Howell off the market, expect fellow lefty Scott Downs and the Washington Nationals to move quickly toward their own multi-year pact. 隨著Howell塵埃落定，預期Downs也會跟國民簽下複數年合約。 24. 2B Brian Roberts 已經被洋基簽下來，但本來的預測也有洋基。 Possible Suitors: 勇士、金鶯、小熊、洋基。 25. C Kurt Suzuki 2013 Stats with Washington Nationals/Oakland Athletics G BA OBP SLG HR SB fWAR 94 .232 .290 .337 5 2 -0.2 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 2 catcher Qualifying Offer: No (ineligible) Why Teams Want Him Kurt Suzuki puts a ton of balls in play (only 11.9 K% for his career). Because he runs fairly well—by catcher standards, anyway—he has seldom grounded into double plays during the past two seasons. Suzuki都能把球打到場內(生涯11.9K%)，且在捕手中腳程也算不賴，所以這兩季很少擊出雙殺打 He will only be 30 years old for the entire 2014 season. 明年也才滿30歲。 Possible Suitors: 小熊、落磯、雙城。 Latest Rumors Susan Slusser︰ In case you missed it earlier, three teams talking to Kurt Suzuki: Cubs, Twins, Rockies. 避免你忘記，有三隊 (即上述三隊)在跟Suzuki聊喔。 Suzuki probably wouldn't be a starter in any of those situations. 但Suzuki不論在哪一隊應該都無法先發... 26. RP Scott Downs 2013 Stats with Los Angeles Angels/Atlanta Braves G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 68/0 43.1 2.49 3.09 7.68 3.95 0.6 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 7 relief pitcher Qualifying Offer: No (ineligible) Why Teams Want Him In seven seasons pitching exclusively out of the bullpen (2007-2013), Scott Downs has posted the following in terms of ERA+: 207, 238, 144, 159, 282, 122, 155. So he's consistently great (albeit in limited innings). 七季專司後援，Downs的ERA+都很讚，證明他穩定性夠好(雖然有局數限制) Downs perennially dominates left-handed opponents and suppresses home runs against everybody. He has experience pitching in 29 of the 30 active MLB ballparks. Possible Suitors: 洋基、教士、國民 Latest Rumors Downs is likely headed to the nation's capital now that J.P. Howell is finalizing a deal to stay in L.A. 當Howell留道奇，Downs應該會去國民。 The Yankees could be an alternative, though. They lost Boone Logan, their bullpen's featured left-hander, in free agency. Considering their ballpark's homer-friendly dimensions, Downs' knack for inducing weak grounders ought to be much appreciated. 洋基是一個選擇，他們沒了左投Logan，但考量到洋基球場對全壘打有利，Downs這種讓打者擊出軟弱滾地球的投手應很受喜愛。 27. RP/SP Chad Gaudin 2013 Stats with San Francisco Giants G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 30/12 97.0 3.06 3.34 8.16 3.71 1.1 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 8 relief pitcher, No. 10 starting pitcher Qualifying Offer: No Why Teams Want Him Statistically, Chad Gaudin's 2013 was eerily similar to Bruce Chen's, particularly in terms of workload, earned run average and strikeout-to-walk ratio. 紀錄上觀之，Gaudin是2013跟Bruce Chen的成績是詭異的相似，工作量差不多，平均失分與三振/四壞比也是。 Being barely 30 years old, he's a safer bet to produce throughout a multi-year deal than other swingmen. 快30歲了，但在他身上賭一把複數年合約是比其他浪人保險。 Possible Suitors: 金鶯、老虎、太空人、洋基 Latest Rumors Bob Nightengale︰ The Baltimore #Orioles are looking for a starter, and have expressed interest in former #Giants starter Chad Gaudin. 金鶯在物色先發，且對前巨人投手Gaudin有興趣。 The Astros are another club that's been linked to Gaudin, reports Brian McTaggart. 消息指出另一條線索牽往太空人。 The San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea doesn't foresee him staying in the Bay Area. 舊金山的媒體覺得他不可能繼續待在巨人了。 28. RP Chris Perez 2013 Stats with Cleveland Indians G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 54/0 54.0 4.33 5.08 9.00 3.50 -0.9 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 9 relief pitcher Qualifying Offer: No Why Teams Want Him Even this past season, which was the worst of his MLB career, Chris Perez was letting his fielders catch their breath by striking out a batter per inning. His velocity should rebound as the right-hander distances himself from 2013's shoulder issues. 即便上一季是他最糟糕的一季，Perez在他隊友屏息以待時仍能三振打者，他的球速應能在擺脫2013年的肩傷後回復。 From 2010-2012, Perez posted an 89.1 percent conversion rate in his save opportunities. That's virtually identical to what Craig Kimbrel did during that same period (Perez recorded nine more saves in 10 more chances). 2010-2012年，Perez擁有89.1%的救援成功率，那是跟Craig Kimbrel看齊的佳績。 Possible Suitors: 金鶯、太空人、馬林魚、大都會、洋基、教士。 Latest Rumors Perez attended the minter meetings in person, according to Buster Olney, to address his struggles on and off the field. 據說Perez"自己"前往冬季會議，去說說自己場上場下的狀況。 Anthony DiComo︰ Among those #Mets kicking the tires on: Chris Perez. Could be closer insurance if Parnell is not healthy. 大都會會想買個保險，如果Parnell不能保持健康的話。 Bobby Parnell underwent surgery for a herniated disk in September. LaTroy Hawkins, who served as the Mets' closer in his absence, has signed with the Colorado Rockies. Bobby Parnell九月動了椎間盤突出手術，而代班的LaTroy Hawkins又跟落磯簽約了。 Jon Heyman has specified that he's a fallback option for the Orioles in case Grant Balfour gets away from them. Heyman也提到若金鶯沒拿到Balfour，那他就是備胎。 29. SP Johan Santana 2012 Stats with New York Mets G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 21/21 117.0 4.85 4.09 8.54 3.00 1.4 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 11 starting pitcher Qualifying Offer: No Why Teams Want Him When last seen on a major league mound, Johan Santana was still demonstrating plenty of swing-and-miss ability. He also showed the stamina to throw two complete games in 2012, including a no-hitter. 上次看他重返投手丘，他還是有讓人揮空的能力，且2012兩場完封，有一場還演出無安打，展現出他的續航力尚存。 As a two-time American League Cy Young Award winner, he has invaluable knowledge to impart to the younger members of a pitching staff. 且他也是兩屆賽揚得主，有無價的知識能傳授給年輕投手。 Possible Suitors: 金鶯、皇家、釀酒人、雙城、大都會、洋基、海盜、光芒。 Latest Rumors In listing the above suitors, Andrew Marchand doesn't identify any front-runners . He explains that Santana could sign before the holidays if any team "separates itself from the pack." 在上列名單中，據聞沒有領先者，但Santana應該能在耶誕前簽約，如果有球隊自行脫離陣線的話。 It's more likely, however, that the Venezuelan legend will need to showcase his skills on the mound in January to prove that he's progressing from shoulder surgery. 然而，更有可能的是這位委內瑞拉的傳奇要在一月現身丟丟球，顯現他肩膀手術後的進度。 30. RP Francisco Rodriguez 2013 Stats with Milwaukee Brewers/Baltimore Orioles G/GS IP ERA FIP K/9 BB/9 fWAR 48/0 46.2 2.70 3.65 10.41 2.70 0.3 Status: Available Position Rank: No. 10 relief pitcher Qualifying Offer: No (ineligible) Why Teams Want Him Francisco Rodriguez has by far the most closing experience of any remaining free agent (three-time American League saves leader). He's been doing less high-leverage work over the past four seasons, but he issued fewer than four walks per nine innings in each of those campaigns. K-Rod也算目前自由球員中最多救援經驗的(三次美聯救援王)，雖然過去四季較少被賦予重任了，但期間每九局不到四次保送顯示控球有變好。 Since 2006, K-Rod has only landed on the disabled list once, and he suffered that injury during a non-baseball-related incident, per Paul White of USA Today. 自2006起，他也只進過一次傷兵名單，且跟場上拼戰也無關。 Possible Suitors: 小熊、太空人、馬林魚、洋基、費城人、教士。 Latest Rumors Well, we know two teams that certainly won't pursue him—the Orioles and the Mets. 嗯，我們知道有兩支球隊不會要他—金鶯跟大都會。 Richard Dubroff writes that Rodriguez never fit in with the former, and he left the Mets in 2011 on very rocky terms. Richard Dubroff 寫道 K-Rod無法融入老東家，2011年也在不穩定的情形下離開大都會。 Honorable Mentions 榮譽榜 The list of useful, available players rolls on with these veterans, whose free-agent stocks have been damaged by injury and/or inconsistency: 下列名單是有用且可用的老將們，但因傷勢或不穩定性而乏人問津 Andrew Bailey, Wilson Betemit, Alexi Casilla, Eric O'Flaherty, Franklin Gutierrez, Jason Hammel, Aaron Harang, Lyle Overbay, Oliver Perez, Jose Veras, Suk-Min Yoon and Kevin Youkilis. 翻完了！開心，未來且看有多少成真吧下次也會避免上色太雜的狀況。 -- GO!JAZZ!GO! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 36.230.164.100
