Re: [外電] Top 10 Pitching Targets (後半)
先發選項:Brandon McCarthy
如果條子簽回 McCarthy ,那會是一件有趣的事
離開條子後的他很快地成為一個有貢獻的先發
2011年他在很多項目創下生涯新高:25先發、170局、123K、9勝、3.32ERA
假如今年球季沒被強襲球擊中,他有機會再創下更好的成績
能保持健康的話,他會是輪值中一個穩定的手臂,而且相對便宜
It would be an interesting homecoming for McCarthy if he signs with Texas,
the team that acquired him from Chicago in 2006 for John Danks.
It’s safe to say the White Sox got the better end of that deal, but since
leaving the Rangers McCarthy has quietly turned into a productive starting
pitcher. He set career highs in almost every category in 2011: 25 starts, 170
innings, 123 strikeouts, nine wins and a 3.32 ERA.
He might have surpassed those numbers in 2012 if an unfortunate line drive
didn’t strike him in the head and force him to miss the rest of the season.
If he can stay healthy, the 29-year-old is a solid arm in the rotation for a
relatively low price.
先發選項:Dan Haren
如果天使不撿 Haren 明年的選擇權,那他將走入FA
這是絕對有可能的,這是因為天使想保留薪資簽下 Zack Greinke
今年是他的低潮年,因傷他沒辦法繼續吃下200局以上
雖然如此,32歲的他生涯交出3.66ERA,而且是個很耐操的投手
條子親眼目睹了因為先發輪值受傷和不穩定帶來的災難
如果相信 Haren 能夠帶來穩定的因子,或許他值得一簽
Haren will hit the free-agent market if the Angels decide not to pick up this
2013 option. This is a definite possibility considering they might attempt
re-signing Zack Greinke instead.
The 2012 season was a bit of a down year for Haren. He dealt with injury and
saw his streak of seven straight 200-plus innings snapped.
Despite this, the 32-year-old would still be an excellent addition to a
rotation. He has a lifetime 3.66 ERA and is traditionally a very durable
pitcher. He also has plenty of experience in the AL West.
The Rangers witnessed first hand how tough it is to win with a rotation
ravaged by injuries and inconsistencies. If they think Haren can bring some
stability, he would be worth signing.
先發選項:Anibal Sanchez
Sanchez在生涯中一個絕佳時間點進入FA
28歲的他在過去三年都繳出30場以上的先發,ERA也都在4以下
2011年他三振超過200人次,並且有一場無安打比賽
條子的輪值有一些不確定的因子,而 Sanchez 可以帶來穩定
Sanchez is hitting free agency at a great point in his career.
The 28-year-old has started 30-plus games and posted an ERA under four in
each of the past three seasons. He also struck out over 200 batters in 2011
and has a no-hitter to his name.
His performance in the 2012 postseason will only add to his number of suitors
this offseason: 1.35 ERA and 10 strikeouts in two games.
The Rangers have some uncertainty in their rotation heading into next year,
so Sanchez would add a good deal of stability.
先發選項:Jake Peavy
健康的Peavy就像當年的他那麼好
31歲的他本季先發超過30場,這是自2007年以來的第一次
他的ERA、局數、被打擊率都能排到AL前10
如果他能複製這些成績,他會是輪值中的一流選項
當然最大的議題還是他的傷病史
條子過去幾年都非常猶豫在30歲以上的球員身上砸大錢
像 Peavy 這種容易進DL的球員會使情況變得更複雜
Peavy is as good as they get when healthy and at the top of his game.
The 31-year-old started over 30 games this past season for the first time
since 2007, and the White Sox enjoyed the results. He finished top 10 in the
American League in ERA, innings pitched and opponent’s batting average.
If Peavy can replicate those numbers going forward, he is a terrific option
in the rotation.
The big issue is his history of injuries. The Rangers have been very hesitant
the past few years to invest a lot of money in players on the other side of
30, and his tendency to land on the D.L. complicates the situation even more.
先發選項:Zack Greinke
Greinke 是自由市場中 Hamilton 等級的大物
他是頂尖的先發投手,無疑地將獲得一份大合約
他才28歲,應該有個美好的未來
Greinke 的大都市焦慮症可能會嚇到像條子這樣的球隊
但他今年球季後段在天使的好表現可以增強大市場球隊們的信心
他可以和達比修組成超強的1~2號先發,讓大部分球隊難以匹敵
Greinke is the pitching equivalent to Josh Hamilton in this free agent class.
He is the top player at his position and will no doubt command a huge
contract. He is only 28 years old, so he should have plenty of good pitching
ahead of him.
What might scare a team like the Rangers away is Greinke’s battle with
anxiety. However, the former Cy Young winner just finished a very successful
stint with the Angels, where he was one of the best pitchers in baseball down
the stretch. His performance in Los Angeles should instill confidence in him
from other big market teams.
Along with Yu Darvish, the addition of Greinke would give Texas a powerful
one-two punch at the top of the rotation that not many other teams can match.
