KAT O'BRIEN | kat.obrien@newsday.com October 14, 2007 文章看起來不難翻起來卻很累知易行難阿= = 先休息 1 BRING BACK JOE TORRE. 1 留住老托 It's true, the Yankees haven't won the World Series since 2000, but as numerous players have said, that's on them. Was Torre, a long-ago batting champion, supposed to grab a bat when his team hit a collective .228 in the Division Series? Was he supposed to give pitching coach Ron Guidry the ball as the staff compiled a 5.89 ERA in the playoffs? 沒錯,洋基從2000年起再也沒贏過世界大賽了.不過眾多球員也都說了,責任在他們自己身上.難道在古老年代前曾拿過打擊王的老托,應該因為洋基這次系列賽吃鱉的.228打擊率而上場打擊嗎? 或是因為投手群們難看的 5.89自責分率,而叫投教 Guidry上場投球嗎? Anything can happen once a team gets to October. But you have to make it there to have a chance to win the World Series. Torre's teams have done that, without fail. How many other managers can say the same? That's right, zero. Even Bobby Cox's Braves failed to reach the playoffs the past two seasons. 別忘了,十月份是什麼都可能發生的季節.不過起碼要先確保能拿到進季後賽的門票. 否則哪來的贏得WS呢?老托所帶領的洋基做到了前者,有多少總教練能跟老托一樣每年都帶隊進play off? 一個都沒有! 即使是 Bobby Cox所帶領的勇士,這兩季連季後賽都擠不進. Nobody is better than Torre at handling the collection of stars the Yankees have, even winning over Alex Rodriguez this season, but up-and-comers such as Melky Cabrera and Shelley Duncan adore him too. He's terrific at dealing with the spotlight in New York as well as the whims of owner George Steinbrenner. Replacing Torre with Don Mattingly or Joe Girardi is no surefire success, unlike Torre himself. Even general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday: "Joe's had a tremendous run here as manager. His contract's expiring, and now the discussion is about how best to go forward. His reign so far has been terrific. You'd sign up for it right now if you could find it." Hello! You already have it. And you can keep it if you bring back Torre. Of all the recent seasons the Yankees haven't won the World Series, this one gives the least cause to change managers. He did a superb job this season in guiding the team to the playoffs after a poor start fueled by a slew of injuries. Bringing him back could help hang on to Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte, too. Torre should be given a new contract that allows him to open the new Yankee Stadium in 2009. 沒有人比老托更會凝聚洋基這群巨星們了,甚至連億元男 A-ROD都對老托讚譽有加. 新生代的雪莉跟小卡布也都相當尊重這位老教頭.尤其是在處理紐約閃死人不償命的鎂光燈上,老托的工夫跟大老闆相比可是不惶多讓阿! 讓老唐或 Joe Girardi取代托瑞,並不能確保會帶來成功.現金人發表聲明:"老托在這執掌球隊多年,如今合約也到期了.現在我們所討論的,是未來要如何才會更好.在他帶隊的期間,真是棒透了!如果能馬上再跟老托續簽的話,何樂而不為阿!" 拜託!這正是洋基一直在做的阿!只要續簽老托,一切都會跟以前一樣很輸湖.當然這幾年都沒能拿下WS也給了換走老托的理由.不過他這季除了強運,根本就神阿.從季初滿坑滿谷的球員見鬼般的自動DL,最大14.5的勝差一路殺進季後賽, "娘子,快出來看上帝阿!" 況且留下老托也讓老Mo、帥佩、波殺大多了更多意願留下.老托應該拿到一份能讓他 2009在洋基新主場繼續帶隊的新合約. 2 FIND AN ACE. 2 補強王牌... Lose the hopes that Chien-Ming Wang might be developing into an ace. Wang is a very good pitcher who has won 38 games the past two seasons. He is not an ace, though. Wang is the biggest reason we're even talking about Torre's job status instead of watching the Yankees play the Red Sox in the ALCS. In 5 2/3 innings, he gave up fully half (12) of the runs the team allowed in the Division Series, with a 19.06 ERA in two starts. 失去了小王當上王牌的希望.小王當然是個非常棒的選手,過去兩季也為洋基贏下38勝 (全大聯盟最多) 不過他不是Ace啦...(Maybe only time will tell) 耶...因為小王,我們無法在美聯冠軍戰中與紅襪世仇交會,只能坐在這討論著老托的去留... 兩戰先發,5 2/3局的投球中,小王丟了12分,笑臉人整個系列賽得分中的一半... 19.06的自責分率囧 Here are two thoughts on getting an ace: Put Joba Chamberlain in the starting rotation. What he showed in two months in the majors had scouts drooling. Chamberlain, who just turned 22, allowed one earned run in 19 games and 24 innings in relief. He gave up 12 hits and six walks, striking out 34. That's dominance. 現有兩個得到Ace的方法:把小克丟到先發輪值中.他大聯盟生涯的頭兩個月,就丟出了讓人瞠目結舌口水直流的內容.小克,剛滿22歲,19場24局的中繼,只被打出12支安打, 保送6人次,K了34個冤大頭,最離譜的是只有一分責失.根本就屠殺嘛,我的媽阿!! The other option: Give up whatever is necessary to get Johan Santana. He'll be a free agent after the 2008 season, so the small-market Twins likely will listen to offers. Then throw enough money at Santana (who's a 28-year-old lefty and a two-time Cy Young winner) to keep him in pinstripes. 另一個選項是不惜一切代價去把山大王搶過來,他將在2008球季後變成FA.小市場的雙城看來是留不住他.接著用銀彈攻勢挖角山大王(28歲拿過2次賽揚的強力左投).一定要在 2009讓他在主場穿上條紋衣!! 3 TRY TO KEEP A-ROD, BUT HAVE A BACKUP PLAN. Alex Rodriguez is the best player in the game. He had a historic season, with 54 homers and 156 RBIs, and he's 32 with an incredible work ethic. You want that, of course. Offer him a six-year extension at an average annual value of $31 million, making the total commitment $267 million through 2016. That's bigger than his last megadeal, which is sure to be a requirement, and should have him set the career home run record in a Yankees uniform. But if Scott Boras insists on taking him to free agency and seeks a contract that goes well into Rodriguez's 40s, then say thanks for the past four years. Go get Mike Lowell, an excellent third baseman who, if not in A-Rod's league as a hitter, is at least much cheaper. 4 KEEP MARIANO RIVERA, JORGE POSADA, BOBBY ABREU, JOSE MOLINA, LUIS VIZCAINO AND DOUG MIENTKIEWICZ. Keeping Molina, Vizcaino and Mientkiewicz is easy and makes sense. All have said they want to be Yankees. Having Molina helped keep Posada fresh. Vizcaino is a solid reliever. Mientkiewicz's defense is stellar. Abreu was good for 101 RBIs and 123 runs scored in a down year. Pick up the $16-million option and see what he produces in a contract year. There are no appealing alternatives to Posada on the free-agent market. None. You simply have to keep him. The Tigers are paying Ivan Rodriguez $13 million, so your starting point is above that. Give him a three-year, $45-million contract with a vesting option for a fourth year. Wrap up Rivera for the final years of his career. Give him a three-year contract worth $36 million to $39 million and keep the best closer in history. 5 LOSE KYLE FARNSWORTH, CARL PAVANO AND ROGER CLEMENS. Farnsworth and Pavano bring bad karma. Just check the fan reaction when they come on the field (oh, wait, Pavano's never on the field). Don't worry about return trade value; just say sayonara. Clemens is one of the greatest pitchers in history. But age and injuries have caught up to him. Begin the countdown to his Hall of Fame induction. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.162.86.29
