[Note] The 2012 Free Agent Relief Market
今年季後的補強重點,除了捕手,再來就是牛棚了,一起來看看幾位可參考的人選吧!
The 2012 crop of free agent relievers isn't overly impressive. There's a few
big names like Papelbon and Rodriguez, but mostly it's infested with the arms
of the mediocre. I picked out a few names that interest me as a Rays fan,
some more realistic than others.
2012自由市場裡,後援投手的深度並說不上令人印象深刻。有幾位響亮的名字,像是
Papelbon和K-Rod,但還是充斥著表現平平的投手。我選了幾個讓我這個光芒迷感興趣且
簽約可行性較高的球員讓大家參考。
Shawn Camp: 3.91 FIP in 2011
Camp wasn't exactly adored when he donned the Devil Rays uniform in 2006 and
2007. He's an extreme ground ball pitcher that relies on good glove-work
behind him to turn those balls into outs. The Rays didn't have that during
his tenure, employing such luminaries as Ty Wigginton, Jorge Cantu, Brendan
Harris and Josh Wilson in the infield. His .418 BABIP in 2007 is the highest
single season mark in baseball over the past five years with a minimum of 30
innings pitched. That isn't all attributed to the awful Devil Rays defense --
his FIP was 5.29 afterall -- but it sure didn't help. He improved considerably
in moving to Toronto, averaging a 3.82 FIP in his four seasons.
'06,'07年,Camp還是魔鬼魚一員時,並不引人注意。這位滾地球投手,相當依賴身後
隊友出色的守備來取得出局數。但當時的內野群是防守平平的Ty Wigginton、Jorge Cantu
、Brendan Harris和Josh Wilson,所以並無法充分展現他的實力。Camp在2007年的BABIP
來到.418,是過去五年,至少投滿30局的投手中單季最高的。雖然不能完全歸咎於糟糕的
防守(畢竟他的FIP是5.29),但肯定沒幫上忙。在轉到藍鳥後,他有相當大的進步,四個
球季平均的FIP來到3.82。
The Rays defense has improved greatly since he left and could use an
effective ground ball pitcher. He made $2.25 million in 2011 which is a bit
higher than his WAR value of $1.8 million. He's said he'd like to return to
Toronto, and the team may very well offer him arbitration. He likely wouldn't
receive a bump in salary, but might choose to return to a situation he's
comfortable with regardless. If he rejects an arbitration offer Toronto would
receive a sandwich pick as compensation. It would be beneficial to the Rays
were he allowed to walk.
Camp離開以後,光芒的防守有相當大的進步,而且可以這類的滾地球投手提供幫助。他
在2011年的年薪是225萬,稍微比價值180萬的WAR高。Camp曾表示願意重回多倫多,球隊也
非常樂意提供仲裁。薪資應該不會大幅上升,但根據他的說法,也許會選擇重回熟悉的環
境。如果拒絕藍鳥提出的仲裁,球隊將可獲得補償選秀權。他的離開對光芒是有利的。

LaTroy Hawkins: 2.76 FIP
This selection may be wishful thinking on my part, seeing as how Hawkins made
$4 million last season and was worth nearly every penny. Some team will
likely offer the soon to be 39-year-old a lucrative offer, or at least more
lucrative than the Rays can afford. He's been one of the better, and most
durable, middle relievers in baseball over the past decade. Signing with the
Rays would reunite him with his 2004 Cubs and 2008 Yankees teammate Kyle
Farnsworth. Maybe Farnsy can sweet-talk his old teammate a bit?
這個選項也許只是我的一廂情願,Hawkins上個賽季的薪資是400萬,而且是物有所值。
某些球隊會很快為這位39歲的投手提供一份豐厚的報價,或至少超過光芒可以負擔的範圍
。在過去10年他是最好、最耐操的後援投手之一。與光芒簽約可以讓他和在'04年小熊,
'08年洋基的隊友Kyle Farnsworth團聚。也許Fansy可以在這位老隊友面前美言幾句。

Chad Durbin: 4.85 FIP
Moving on to players more in the Rays price range, we come to Chad Durbin.
2011 wasn't especially kind to Mr. Durbin. He managed to put up a 4.85 FIP
and -0.3 WAR in 68 innings with Cleveland. Contrary to the opinions of many
Clevelanders, he doesn't totally suck. He put up good seasons in 2010 (3.97
FIP) and 2008 (3.77) with Philadelphia. He made just $800k last season and
can't expect to get more than that in free agency.
在光芒薪資可負擔的前提下,Chad Durbin是可以考慮的選項。2011年不是特別突出的
一年。在代表克里夫蘭出賽的68局中,FIP退步到4.85,WAR則是-0.3。與許多克里夫蘭人
的意見相反,他不完全是這麼糟。2010年(3.97 FIP)和2008年(3.77 FIP)在費城表現
得不錯。他上季的薪資只有80萬,今年預期不會超過這個數字。
******
Jon Rauch: 5.26 FIP
Another Toronto reliever, many Rays fans wanted to see Rauch in a Tampa Bay
uniform in 2011. Had that happened, it's doubtful Kyle Farnsworth signs, so
perhaps things worked out for the best. He was hampered by injuries last
season, missing time due to back and knee issues as well as having his
appendix removed in August. It was the first time he had missed any
significant time in his nine year career. His numbers suffered along with his
body as he posted a 5.26 FIP in 52 innings pitched. A healthy Rauch has been
a solid late-inning reliever over his career. Hopefully his sub-par 2011
performance and fear over his torn knee cartilage will set the bar low enough
for the Rays to snag him.
另一位藍鳥隊的後援投手,去年許多光芒球迷期待Rauch能穿著光芒隊的球衣出賽。但
如果成真,就不一定會簽Kyle Farnsworth了,所以也許發展出最好的結果吧!由於背傷
和膝傷,Rauch去年身陷於傷病困擾中,同時還在八月切除了他的盲腸。這是9年生涯中,
第一次明顯缺席這麼多的時間。呈現出來的數據也因為健康問題而不盡理想,主投52局,
FIP來到5.26。健康的Rauch是後半段局數堅實的保障。希望他的身價會因為低於水準的賽
季和膝傷疑慮,下跌到光芒可以入手的程度。

另外推薦幾隻便宜好用的RP:
Todd Coffey (WSN):RHP,對右打非常有壓制力(OBA.193),但無法壓制左打(OBA.338)。
Pat Neshek (SDP):RHP,前幾年在MIN是主力set-up,最近因傷出賽不多,明星賽前投的
很出色,明星賽後又掛了,只要證明健康,解決打者不是問題。
Mike Gonzalez (TEX):LHP,對左打投得很出色(OBA.215),控球是最大的問題。
David Aardsma (SEA):RHP,前水手closer,但今年因傷整季報銷。
George Sherrill (ATL):LHP,今年在勇士大復活,投球局數不多,三振能力強。
Guillermo Mota (SFG):RHP,很能吃局數,不論左右打都能解決。
Juan Cruz (TBR):RHP,今年很倚重的後援投手,有機會重新找回來。
