[討論] Free Agent Profile: Chase Headley
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/10/free-agent-profile-chase-headley.html
One of the game’s best defensive third basemen reaches free agency this
winter in Chase Headley. Headley’s MVP-caliber 2012 season saw his offense
reach lofty heights, but two years later that’s looking like an anomaly.
防守上他是最好的三壘手之一,不過12年的打擊表現應該只是曇花一現
Strengths/Pros 優勢
Headley’s only Gold Glove award came in that magical 2012 season, but he’s
got a good chance at another one this year. By measure of Ultimate Zone
Rating, Headley was the best defensive third baseman in baseball in 2014. If
you prefer Defensive Runs Saved, Headley ranked third. He was a top ten
defender in 2012 and ’13 as well, so it’s not just a one-year fluke.
就UZR來看,他是今年防守表現最佳的三壘手,前兩年也差不多
Headley’s defense is a major contributor to his value, leading to roughly
four wins above replacement in each of the last two seasons. His WAR ranks
tenth among all third basemen for 2013-14, easily ahead of this offseason’s
likely top-paid third baseman, Pablo Sandoval. At worst, Headley is Sandoval
’s equal, but defense hasn’t caught up with offense in terms of free agent
spending.
他的價值主要來自於防守端,貢獻了差不多4WAR,
前兩季WAR加起來在所有三壘手中排第10名,比功夫熊貓還高
不過評估FA的價值時,一般而言還是比較注重攻擊面的表現
Headley hit .286/.376/.498 with 31 home runs for the Padres in 2012, despite
playing half his games in San Diego. 19 of those home runs came in the season
’s final two months. He hit .269/.343/.392 prior to that season and
.246/.338/.387 since, and it’s not hard to see that one of these is not like
the others. However, the switch-hitting Headley remains capable of a solid
on-base percentage, posting a .371 OBP and walk rate near 13% in his 224
plate appearances for the Yankees this year. He is, on the whole, still an
above average hitter.
12年打出.286/.376/.498跟31支全壘打,
在12年之前.269/.343/.392,12年之後則是.246/.338/.387
今年在洋基的224個PA裡則有.371的上壘率跟13%的保送率
整體而言,他仍然是一個高於平均的打者
Having been traded midseason, Headley is not eligible for a qualifying offer.
Fellow free agents Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez will certainly require draft
pick forfeiture, and perhaps Aramis Ramirez too, but Headley is free of that
limitation.
跟Sandoval以及Hanley不同的是,他身上沒有綁QO
Weaknesses/Cons 弱點
Prior to being traded to the Yankees, Headley hit an abysmal .229/.296/.355
for the Padres in 307 plate appearances. His Padres’ walk rate of 7.2% was
well below his career norm.
今年被交易到洋基之前,打擊成績是慘澹的.229/.296/.355,
保送率只有7.2%,也遠低於生涯平均
Upon the trade, Tony Blengino of FanGraphs examined Headley’s batted ball
profile, and it wasn’t promising. Headley was in “steady offensive decline,
” wrote Blengino, who explained, “his decline in batted-ball production has
been solely attributable to diminished fly ball authority.” Did Headley’s
224 plate appearances after the trade represent a reliable return to form?
That will be a crucial question for offseason suitors.
交易當時FanGraphs的Tony Blengino在檢視了他打出去的球之後認為,
他打出去的多半是軟弱的飛球,這顯示他打擊上呈現穩定的衰退趨勢,
到洋基之後的224個PA樣本有大到足以顯示他的復活嗎?
Headley’s recent injury history may be perceived as a negative, though it
could also be considered an explanation for his offensive struggles in the
first half of the season. He received an epidural in June and avoided going
on the DL for his back. After the epidural, Headley hit .273/.359/.400 in
312 plate appearances.
最近幾季的傷病史也不好看,但這也可以被視為他打擊表現不佳的原因
在六月接受了硬膜外麻醉減輕疼痛後,他在312個PA裡打出了.273/.359/.400
Personal 個人特質
Headley was born in Colorado and resides in Tennessee with his family. The
Headleys recently welcomed a new baby into the world, their second child.
According to the Padres’ 2014 media guide, Headley played varsity baseball
and basketball all four years in high school in Colorado, and was also
valedictorian. He began college at University of the Pacific in California
and later transferred to the University of Tennessee, where his older brother
was attending.
高中時是棒籃兩棲的明星球員
According to a profile by MLB.com’s Corey Brock in January 2013, Headley
owns a large farm in Western Kentucky and has a passion for bow hunting. A
religious man since his freshman year in high school, Headley told Mark E.
Darnall and Bruce A. Darnall in 2012, “My goal is to have Jesus be the
center of everything.”
高一開始就是虔誠的基督徒
Market 市場情形
Any team without an established, reliable third baseman could consider
Headley this offseason. Given the uncertainty that comes with Alex
Rodriguez, a return to the Yankees is possible. The Red Sox, Astros, Royals,
Brewers, Giants, Blue Jays, and Nationals could also seek help at third base,
though some of those clubs might only want a short-term solution.
任何缺固定先發三壘手的球隊都會考慮他,
考慮到AROD的不確定性,他也有可能回洋基
紅襪、皇家、藍鳥、國民、巨人(Sandoval離開的話)都可能會追他
Headley’s competition on the free agent market will include Pablo Sandoval,
Aramis Ramirez, and Hanley Ramirez. Whether Aramis Ramirez hits the open
market could be a big factor for Headley, as well as whether Hanley Ramirez
signs as a third baseman. The trade market could feature Luis Valbuena,
Trevor Plouffe, and Pedro Alvarez.
他在FA裡的競爭對手包括Sandoval跟Hanley(Aramis Ramirez已經確定留在酒鬼了)
其他可能被交易的三壘手還有Valbuena、Plouffe,以及Pedro Alvarez
Expected Contract 預期合約
Headley has never had a multiyear deal in his career, and I think he’ll
value long-term security this offseason. The question is whether he signs a
three or four-year deal. A few potential comparables to consider are Shane
Victorino‘s three-year, $39MM deal from two years ago and Jhonny Peralta‘s
four-year, $53MM deal from last offseason. I think Headley will sign a
four-year, $48MM deal.
Headley生涯還沒拿過複數年合約,今年是最好的機會
問題只是他最後會拿到一份三年約還是四年約,
Victorino前年的三年39M或Peralta去年的四年53M都是比較的基準,
我認為他會拿到一份四年48M的合約
---
今年要補的兩個大洞就是前段先發(兩個)跟三壘,
三壘的部分,FA裡比較明顯的升級大概就是他跟熊貓,
如果Sandoval要價超過100M,我想Headley會是FO比較可能的選擇
守備上也比較能夠彌補XB的不足
