Offseason Rankings: Top Third (Redsox part)
http://0rz.net/1a193
4. Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox had a tumultuous offseason between losing Johnny Damon to the
Yankees and losing (and then re-signing) Theo Epstein as GM, but it was
ultimately a very good offseason.
紅襪今年offseason非常喧鬧，因為Johnny Damon去了洋基，並且還失去了GM Theo Epstein
(後來還是簽回來了)，但終究還是有著不錯的offseason
The first big move they made was to trade four prospects (Hanley Ramirez,
Anibal Sanchez,Jesus Delgado and Harvey Garcia) to the Marlins for Josh
Beckett, Mike Lowell and Mota. Of those prospects, Sanchez is probably the
only one with the potential to be a really good player, although Ramirez
could still get there if he figures out how to use all of his tools.
第一項重大的交易是，紅襪用四個潛力新秀(Hanley Ramirez、Anibal Sanchez、
Jesus Delgado和Harvey Garcia)換來了馬林魚的Josh Beckett、Mike Lowell以及Mota。
在交易掉的潛力新秀中只有Sanchez可能有潛力成為非常好的選手，也許Ramirez
有可能成為那種選手，如果他能找出如何去運用他的好身手(tool)。
Beckett, of course, is a huge boon to the Red Sox rotation. Boston only had
one pitcher throw at least 90 innings last year with an above average ERA
(Tim Wakefield had a 106 ERA+ in 225.1 innings). Beckett had a 119 ERA+ last
year, and it was his third straight season with an ERA+ of at least 108, and
he's only 25 years old. There are some injury concerns, but he definitely has
the potential to be the best pitcher in Boston's rotation.
Beckett，對紅襪投手輪值圈來說是最好的禮物了，去年紅襪只有一個投超過九十局
的投手能夠低於過聯盟平均的 ERA (Tim Wakefield 去年投225.1局，ERA+ 106)
Beckett去年是119 ERA+，而且他連續三年投出 ERA+ 至少 108，而且他才25歲
雖然他有可能遇到些受傷的問題，但他的確很有可能成為紅襪輪值圈中最好的投手。
Lowell is a likely downgrade from Bill Mueller at third base for the Red Sox,
but he could actually be just as good if he regains some of the production he
displayed from 2002-2004.
對紅襪的三壘來說，Lowell 像是一個次一級的Bill Mueller，但他也有可能打得
跟Mueller一樣好，如果他能恢復他在2002到2004年那樣子的成績。
Next, the Red Sox traded Doug Mirabelli for Mark Loretta, who is one
injury-plagued season removed from a 136 OPS+ (and a 120 OPS+ the year before
that). Even last year Loretta posted a 96 OPS+, and he should be an excellent
second baseman for the Red Sox this year.
接下來，紅襪用Doug Mirabelli換到了Mark Loretta。Mark Loretta 因傷所苦
無法打出 136 OPS+ (在那之前的一年，他打出 120 OPS+)。即使是去年，Loretta依然
繳出了96 OPS+，他今年應該會成為一個表現傑出的二壘手。
The other big piece of Boston's offseason is several moves in one. They lost
Johnny Damon to free agency, traded Edgar Renteria for Andy Marte, shipped
Marte, Mota and Kelly Shoppach to the Indians for Crisp, Riske, and Bard, and
signed Alex Gonzalez.
在攻擊的其他另一些方面，紅襪做了許多交易。 失去了成為Free Agent的Jonny Damon
，把Edgar Renteria換成Andy Marte，並用Marte、Mota和Kelly Shoppach換來了印地安
人的 Crisp、Riske和 Bard，並且簽了Alex Gonzalez
Crisp should be a perfectly adequate replacement offensively for Damon, since
he had a higher OPS+ last year and is six years younger. He's also been an
excellent defender in left field, so he should be at least average in center.
Gonzalez is not a good hitter, but neither was Renteria last year. Gonzalez
is also a better fielder, and should be able to hold the position down just
fine until Dustin Pedroia is ready to take over.
Crisp 應該能完美的勝任 Damon 在進攻方面的貢獻，因為他去年的 OPS+ 還比Damon
高，而且他的年級也比Damon小六歲。他左外野防手的很好，所以他應該在中外野會有
聯盟的平均防守水準。Gonzalez 不是一個好的打者，但同樣的去年的Renteria也不是。
而Gonzalez是一個較好的防守者，應該能夠顧好這個位置直到 Dustin Pedroia 準備
好上來接替。
Other than that, the Red Sox got Bronson Arroyo to sign a nice 3-year deal
($11.25 million), added some bullpen depth with Rudy Seanez (one year, $2.1
million) and Julian Tavarez (two years, $6.7 million), signed J.T. Snow to
back up (hopefully) Kevin Youkilis at first base and gave a minor-league deal
to Dustan Mohr, who could platoon nicely with Trot Nixon in right field.
剩下的其他方面，紅襪和Bronson Arroyo 簽了一份好的三年約($11.25 M)，並為牛棚
增加一點深度，簽了Rudy Seanez(1 年 2.1 M)、Julian Tavarez(2年，6.7M)，並簽了
J.T Snow 當後補一壘手，Kevin Yukilis 當一壘手，然後給了能替補Trot Nixon的很好
的Dustan Mohr 一份小聯盟約。
And in addition to likely upgrading the team without giving a crazy,
long-term deal to anybody, the Red Sox added four picks in this summer's
draft.
為了補強球隊但沒有給任何人瘋狂的長約，然後紅襪今年的夏天還增加了四個選透權
