[外電] Community Offseason Predictions
原文:http://ppt.cc/bDv5
I thought this might be a fun thing to do. Below I have compiled several
questions that relate to the Ray's offseason. When the offseason has reached
its completion, it should be neat to look back and recall our own thoughts
and predictions heading into the offseason. It will give us the opportunity
to see how the Rays did in comparison with our expectations of their
offseason.
在休賽期來點猜想是件有趣的事情,接下來我會提出一些有關光芒隊的季後休賽期的
問題。到時候再來看看有沒有符合我們的猜想吧!
Q1. Will the Rays sign a catcher or a short stop to a major league deal?
Q1. 光芒會在捕手或游擊手上做補強嗎?
For all of us informed fans, these two positions appear to be the main
concern heading into the 2012 season. The Rays received minimal production
from either spot over the course of this past season, and there appears to be
no ready players in the system who can or will take over the spots. Tim
Beckham looks like he is close to ready, but it is doubtful he will see much
time with the Rays in 2012, barring injury.
對所有了解球隊的球迷來說,這兩個位置將會是在前進2012年前最主要的問題,過去
這個賽季,光芒在這兩處得到的幫助相當有限,而且農場裡並沒有可以立即接手的球員
,Tim Beckham感覺已經非常接近了,但除非大聯盟有嚴重的傷病,他明年上來觀光的時
間應該不多。
The shortstop and catcher market is relatively thin, but that is to be
expected of these two positions of need. The Rays probably will not be able
to hand out large sums of money to anyone due to their financial constraints.
捕手和游擊手的市場相對貧脊,但還是能找到可以帶來幫助的球員。光芒可能因為財政
上的劣勢而無法投入大量的資金。
My answer: I think the Rays will give out a MLB deal to a catcher, although
it may be a backup.
我認為光芒會在捕手這個位置上投資,雖然可能只能找來替補。
Q2. Will the Rays head into the 2012 season with a payroll of $45 million+
or will they have a payroll below that?
Q2. 光芒會在現有的預算上做增減嗎?
In 2011, the Rays had a payroll, according to ESPN, of $41,932,171. Not much
has been said regarding the payroll next year, except a comment by Sternberg
saying:I don't know, but we've clearly fallen short on our financial projections. We
have to make some projections but I could not have projected our attendance
would be down what it was. I don't think anybody would have thought that
either. ... Nothing positive happened financially this year. We were last (in
attendance going into the weekend). I hadn't even realized that. I didn't
forecast last.
根據ESPN的報導,光芒2011年的球隊預算是$41,932,171。關於明年的薪資預算還沒有太
多的報導,但Sternberg曾表示:「還不確定,但我們的今年財政狀況的下滑必須納入考慮
,觀眾人數的下滑是有些出乎意料的。我也不認為有人預料得到……。今年沒有任何正面
的財務消息。我們週末的進場人數是最後一名,我不了解為什麼,我根本沒預期到。」
My answer: I think the payroll will end up slightly north of the 45 million
mark heading into next season. I believe that the Rays will keep their two
aces and that they will sign a DH for several million.
我認為下個賽季薪資預算還是會接近4千5百萬,我相信光芒會保住他們前兩號王牌,並
會花幾百萬簽下一位指定打擊。
Q3. Will BJ Upton be with the Rays after this offseason?
Q3. BJ Upton明年還會留在陣中嗎?
We all know the story with Upton: a solid player with rising costs and a
ready replacement. If Upton is moved though, and Jennings shifted to CF, then
Guyer or someone else would have to take up the LF ABs.
我們都知道Upton的角色:一位年薪逐年上漲的紮實的球員,但有機會被取代。如果
Upton離隊了,Jennings可以移防中外野,Guyer或其他球員可以接手左外野。
My Answer: No, I think BJ Upton will not be with the team next year. With
both Shields and Price getting raises, I believe Upton will have to be traded.
我想明年Upton不會再出現在球隊陣容中了。Shields和Price薪資越來越高,我想Upton
會被交易。
Q4. Will the Rays re-sign Casey Kotchman, and if not, will they acquire a first
basemen in a trade, signing, or from the system?
Q4. 光芒能夠重新簽回Casey Kotchman嗎?如果沒有,他們能透過交易、自由市場或農場
找到解答嗎?
My Answer: I think the Rays will acquire Yonder Alonso from the Reds for Jeff
Niemann and several prospects. I think the Rays will sign Dan Johnson, or
someone similar, to an MiLB deal as insurance for Alonso.
我想光芒可以嘗試用Jeff Niemann與一些新秀和紅人交易Yonder Alonso。可以與Dan
Johnson或類似的球員簽下小聯盟約。
Q5. Which, if any, starting pitcher will the Rays trade during the offseason?
Q5. 會有先發投手離開球隊陣容嗎?
We all know something is bound to happen with 8 pitchers capable of starting
for the Rays entering 2012. The Rays have needs, and it may come down to who
can acquire what the Rays need.
我們都知道在有8個可先發投手的光芒隊中,必然有些事情會發生。球隊有陣容提升的
需求,換個角度,或許可以來想想光芒需要什麼。
My Answer: I think the Rays will trade Jeff Niemann.
我認為Niemann會成為交易籌碼。
