According to the Basic Agreement, and confirmed by a top Major League Baseball official, once the Yankees signed CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira, they had signed their quota of Type A or Type B free agents under the collectively bargained rules established by management and the Players Association. 這些假設都是不正確的。根據BA的規定、大聯盟官方也予以證實的情況是，當帝國簽下 C.C.、A.J.還有鐵爺的時候，他們就已經將自己今年能用的3個Type A+Type B額度用完了。 All three were Type A free agents who played for other teams last season aside from the Yankees. The Yankees could re-sign their own Type A or Type B free agents without it affecting the quota. 帝國簽下的這三個人去年球季結束後都是Type A，同時，他們去年都不是為洋基效力。不過如果有洋基隊2008年的球員在去年球季結束後成為Type A或是Type B的話，洋基還是可以在「不影響他們簽下原屬於別隊的 Type A 或 Type B 配額的情況下」簽回來。 Under the rules, "if there are from 39 to 62 [Type A and B] players [during a given offseason], no team can sign more than three." 根據規則：「如果進入自由球員市場的Type A及Type B總人數介於39到62人之間，那每支球隊只能簽下最多3位Type A及Type B的球員。」 "Frankly, it's an unusual year to have that many ranked players," Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, told MLB.com this week. 「坦白說，今年的狀況並不尋常，有很多Type A及Type B的球員進入自由球員市場。」大聯盟勞工關係執行副總裁Rob Manfred這麼表示。 Manfred negotiates these kinds of terms with the Major League Baseball Players Union. And the current Basic Agreement, signed after the 2007 season, doesn't expire until Dec. 31, 2011. Rob Manfred在過去與球員工會作過很多次這種條款的協商。而現行版本的BA，就是在 2007球季結束後簽訂，這一版本將到2011年的12月31號才到期。 But it gets more complicated. 但實際情況比BA條款的文字敘述還複雜。 According to an unofficial list compiled by the Sports City Sports News Service, this year there were 63 Type A and Type B free agents -- 29 Type As and 34 of the Type B variety. A Type A player is one who's ranked among the top 20 percent of his group -- pitcher or position player. A Type B player is among the top 40 percent. The Elias Sports Bureau does the annual independent rankings. 根據Sports City Sports News Service所報導的非官方名單，顯示今年有63位具有 Type A 或Type B身份的球員進入自由球員市場，當中包括29位Type A、34位Type B ，也就是比前述條款的區間範圍還多一位。 Type A的定義是排名在其所屬位置的前20%，也就是以投手或是其它守備位置來區分其所屬位置；Type B則是前40%。而這些排名則依照Elias Sports Bureau(棒球數據統計局) 的統計為準。 "If there are more than 62 such players, the club quota shall be increased accordingly," the Basic Agreement also says. 「如果有超過62位Type A或B的球員，那球隊能簽的配額就應該要隨之增加。」 BA的條款是如此敘述的。 "If there were more than 62 this year, we should have agreed on an increased quota," Manfred said. "We did not. I think if [the Yankees] were contemplating signing another Type A player, they would've read the agreement and asked us what we wanted to do. They would've said they wanted to sign a fourth player and we would've had to do something with the union." 「如果有超過62位Type A或B的球員，我們就應該要同意球隊可以得到更多的配額，但是我們沒有這樣做。我想，如果洋基隊(按:已簽下3位原屬別隊的Type A或B 的 FA)還有著再簽下另一位FA這樣的盤算，他們應該會先閱讀過BA的條款並且向我們提出這樣的要求去循問怎麼做。他們可能會提出想要簽下第4位FA的要求，而我們就得和球員工會坐下來談談該怎麼處置。」Manfred這麼表示。 The Yankees didn't ask, Manfred said. 但是最終帝國並沒有提出這樣的要求。 They did sign another Type A player this week, pitcher Andy Pettitte. But Pettitte played for the Yankees in 2008. The same goes for Damaso Marte, a Type A reliever the Yanks re-signed early in the offseason. 他們本週再度簽下另一位Type A的球員，Andy Pettitte，但是Andy在2008年是穿著洋基隊的制服在比賽，另一位Type A的左手牛Damaso Marte也是這樣的情況，所以上述的情況目前為止還沒有發生。 In any event, after signing five free agents at a guaranteed total cost of $447.5 million spread out over the next eight years, it appears the Yankees are done spending this offseason. 在任何情況下，當帝國確定要在未來8年花下$447,500,000美金簽下5位FA時，這顯示他們應該已經做得差不多了。 Hot Stove Rules about compensatory Draft picks led to some confusion, too. 至於另一個"補償性選秀順位"也常常讓多數人感到迷惑。 Only Type A or Type B free agents who have turned down arbitration yield compensation picks. That means the Brewers, who offered Sabathia arbitration, wound up being compensated by the Yankees with their second-round pick in next June's First-Year Player Draft. The Padres, on the other hand, didn't receive a pick for all-time saves leader Trevor Hoffman when he signed with the Brewers, because he wasn't offered arbitration. 首先，只有Type A或B 的FA拒絕球隊所給予的仲裁權時，才會產生選秀順位補償的問題。也就是說，給了C.C.仲裁的酒鬼，在C.C.拒絕仲裁、最後由帝國簽下C.C.之後，酒鬼能夠從帝國那邊拿到本來屬於洋基在下一年度6月選秀時第二輪的選秀權。而教士隊在Trevor Hoffman轉投酒鬼時拿不到補償性選秀順位，因為教士隊並沒有給Trevor Hoffman仲裁權的機會。 The main reason a club might decline to offer arbitration is that it's more concerned with the amount of money an arbitrator might award to the player than preserving the possibility of a compensatory draft pick. 球隊拒絕給予球員仲裁權的主要原因就在於球隊更關切的是(球員接受仲裁後)仲裁人會判FA球員勝訴的可能性(以及要付給球員的一大筆金額)，這比給予球員仲裁的機會而保有潛在的補償選秀還要來得重要。 This year, only 24 of the 63 Type A or B free agents in that group were offered arbitration. Two of the 24, Darren Oliver of the Angels and David Weathers of the Reds, accepted arbitration and returned to those clubs. Thus, only 22 of 216 free agents this year earn Draft-pick compensation if they are signed by another club, about 10 percent. 今年，進入自由球員市場的Type A或B 的球員中，只有24位得到球團的仲裁。其中，猴子的Darren Oliver以及紅人隊的David Weathers接受了球隊提供的仲裁並且回到原球隊了。所以今年216位自由球員中，理論上，最多將只會有22個補償選秀權，約是全體自由球員的10%。 With only 10 Type A and B free agents still unsigned, the question arose regarding what might happen if one of them signed with a Major League club after the Draft? 而到目前為止，只剩下10位Type A或B 的球員還沒有簽約，另一個問題產生了，如果他們其中任何一位是到了6月選秀完之後才跟某一支球隊簽約，會造成什麼結果呢？ The list of unsigned Type A players includes Ramirez, Oliver Perez, Jason Varitek, Orlando Cabrera, Juan Cruz, Orlando Hudson and Sheets. The Type B list is Paul Byrd, Dennys Reyes and Brian Shouse. 這10個人包括Type A 的 Manny Ramirez、Oliver Perez、Jason Varitek、Orlando Cabrera、Juan Cruz、Orlando Hudson 以及 Sheets；Type B 的 Paul Byrd、Dennys Reyes 和 Brian Shouse。 "It's always been our position that if [a player] goes past the Draft, the compensation goes away," Manfred said, adding that it has never happened. 「一直以來我們的立場就是：一旦一位球員在選秀後才跟球隊簽約，那就沒有所以謂的補償性選秀了。」Manfred並強調，這種情況也從未發生過。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.163.172
