Rangers Free Agents: Top 10 Pitching Targets This Offseason
By Lance Reaves (Featured Columnist) on October 19, 2012
休季期間條子有很多事情要做,其中一個重要優先是補強投手陣容
無論是先發輪值或牛棚都有補強的需要
The Rangers have some work to do this offseason, as do a lot of teams. A big
priority is their pitching staff. They have holes to fill in both the
rotation and bullpen.
今年球季有好消息也有壞消息
達比修逐漸成為球隊當中的ACE,Harrison也有一個很棒的球季
壞消息是Holland大退步,Feliz和Lewis都因為手臂去動大手術
牛棚中,Adams和上原都成為自由球員
Ogando表達了他想當先發投手的意願,Nathan在季末沒有表現得特別好
It wasn't all bad news in 2012. Yu Darvish emerged as the team's ace and Matt
Harrison had a terrific season. However, Derek Holland took a big step back
and Neftali Feliz and Colby Lewis had major arm surgeries.
In terms of the bullpen, Mike Adams and Koji Uehara are both free agents,
Alexi Ogando has expressed his desire to pitch in the rotation, and Joe
Nathan didn't pitch particularly well down the stretch.
今年的FA市場不是最深的,但有些球員可以補強目前條子的投手陣容
This year's free-agent class isn't the deepest, but there are several players
the Rangers can target to improve the ball club.
牛棚選項:Jonathan Broxton
就像先前提到的,牛棚中有些需要補滿的洞
Broxton 是補強的最佳選項之一,他在紅人的下半季投的非常好
他目前28歲,控球極佳,不輕易被轟
曾經在道奇拿過2次全明星的他,可以勝任球賽後段上場的任務
需要的話,他也能當終結者
As mentioned earlier, the Rangers have some holes they need to fill in the
bullpen. Broxton is one of the best options via free agency.
He had an excellent second-half with Cincinnati after being acquired at the
deadline.
The 28-year-old fireballer has excellent control and does not surrender many
home runs.
Broxton is a two-time All-Star with the Dodgers who would fit in well with
Texas in a late inning role. He can also close if need be.
牛棚選項:Brett Myers
如果沒有簽回 Adams 或上原, Myers 會是另外一個補強選項
32歲的他今年在太空人擔任終結者,留下19次救援成功,然後被送到白襪
總計今年70次出賽,他投的不錯
如果條子簽下了他,可以得到一條成熟且有季後賽經驗的手臂
Myers is another possible addition to the bullpen if Texas decides not to
bring back Mike Adams or Koji Uehara.
The 32-year-old was moved to the closer role in 2012 and saved 19 games for
the Astros before being shipped to the White Sox at the deadline.
Overall, he made 70 appearances out of the pen and pitched well.
If the Rangers reach a deal with Myers, he gives them a veteran arm with
postseason experience.
牛棚選項:Joakim Soria
如果條子想尋找有潛力的便宜貨,Soria可能是最好的選擇
明年球季是他開完TJ後的第一個球季,這會使他的價格降低
28歲的他曾經是最好的救援投之一,2010年曾經有43救援成功,65局送出71K
如果他能把他驚人的stuff找回來,他和Nathan會讓條子的牛棚變的很可怕
如果需要的話,他也可以擔任終結者
If the Rangers are looking for a potential bargain, Soria is probably their
best bet.
Soria will be coming off Tommy John surgery when he returns in 2013, which
should drive his asking price down.
At his best, the 28-year-old was one of the top relievers in baseball. He had
a career high 43 saves in 2010, striking out 71 batters in 65 innings.
If he returns with his electric stuff, he will provide a fearsome duo at the
back of the Rangers’ bullpen with Joe Nathan. He can also save games when
needed.
先發選項:Shaun Marcum
無論在藍鳥或酒人,Marcum 都非常穩定
30歲的他過去四年的ERA都在4以下,而且2011年他吃了200局
他的數據並不是那麼亮眼,但他給了球隊贏的機會
傷病問題是他值得注意的一個地方
因為受傷,他錯過整個2009球季,還有一部分2012球季
Marcum has been very consistent the last four seasons. He pitched in the AL
East for two years in Toronto before spending the last two years in Milwaukee.
The 30-year-old posted an ERA under four each of those four years and
eclipsed 200 innings in 2011.
His numbers aren’t always flashy, but he keeps his team in ballgames and
gives them a chance to win.
Injuries are the main concern, continuing an unfortunate theme on this list.
Marcum missed all of 2009 and several starts in 2012.
先發選項:Edwin Jackson
過去十年 Jackson 待過七個不同球隊
他曾經連續六年先發超過30場
曾經在2010年投出無安打比賽並入選明星賽
28歲的他今年在國民的中段輪值,然後交出了一個有貢獻的球季
如果條子想找一個能吃下不少局數的投手,他可以吸引一些目光
Jackson has played for seven teams in his 10-year career with varying degrees
of success. He has started 30 games or more for six straight years, pitched a
no-hitter in 2010 and was an All-Star the year before that.
The 28-year-old had a productive season for Washington and projects as a
middle-of-the-rotation guy moving forward.
If Texas is searching for someone who will make every start and eat up some
innings, Jackson is worth taking a look at.
