昨天正好看到這篇有趣的文章 所以簡單的翻譯一下

The Red Sox and Cubs built two of baseball's best teams in similar fashion.
They mostly used homegrown hitters to fortify their lineups and trades and free
agents to construct their pitching staffs.

紅襪跟小熊的建隊方針相當類似 打線依靠自己的農場 投手則是依靠交易跟FA

Boston drafted its stellar outfield of Andrew Benintendi, Mookie Betts and
Jackie Bradley Jr. and signed Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers
internationally. Chicago parlayed its 2011-15 first-round picks into Javier
Baez, Albert Almora Jr., Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Ian Happ and found
Willson Contreras in Venezuela. The Red Sox's projected playoff rotation and
closer all came via trades (Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, Rick Porcello,
Craig Kimbrel) or free agency (David Price), as is true with the Cubs (free
agent Jon Lester and trade acquisitions Kyle Hendricks, Cole Hamels, Jose
Quintana and Pedro Strop).

紅襪Benitendi, Betts及JBJ都是選秀 Devers, Boagerts則是國際球員簽約
小熊Baez, Almora Jr., 老大, Schwarber, Happ是選秀 Contreras是國際球員簽約
兩隊的輪值跟牛棚則大多依靠交易跟自由球員

Despite the similarities between Boston and Chicago, there's no set blueprint
for putting together a playoff club. The Rockies lead all off the postseason
clubs with 12 homegrown players on their projected 25-man roster, while the
Athletics have just four. Oakland tops them all with seven free-agent signings,
while the Dodgers have just two. The A's, Brewers and Yankees each swung deals
for 14 of their players, while Colorado picked up just five players in trades.

儘管紅襪小熊建隊方式相近(Theo影響?) 其餘的季後賽隊伍則有不同的方式
落磯是全部季後賽隊伍使用農場養出來最多的一隊(12人) 運動家則只有4人
運動家是全部季後賽隊伍靠FA來組隊最多的一隊(7人) 躲人則只有2人
運動家 釀酒人 洋基靠交易14人來調整隊伍 落磯則只有5人

Here's a more detailed breakdown of how each of the playoff teams was built,
based on projected Division Series rosters, which will be set prior to the
beginning of each series:

A's
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 4 (WAR: 16.5)
 Draft: 4 (WAR: 16.5)
 International: 0 (N/A)
Free Agents: 7 (WAR: 5.6)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 25.3)

The four homegrown players on the A's projected roster is the fewest among
postseason teams. They're all products of the Draft, a group highlighted by
2014 first-rounder Matt Chapman, who's emerged as baseball's best defensive
third baseman and a franchise cornerstone for the A's, and 2012 comp pick Matt
Olson. Together, the duo combined to hit 53 homers and 75 doubles during the
regular season. Trades in recent years for players such as AL home run leader
Khris Davis (2016 from Brewers), Marcus Semien (2014 from White Sox),
Jed Lowrie (2015 from Astros) and Stephen Piscotty (2017 from Cardinals) have
helped the A's fill out a potent offense, and the same can be said for the
club's elite bullpen trio of Blake Treinen (2017 from Nationals), Jeurys
Familia (2018 from Mets) and Fernando Rodney (2018 from Twins). And while
season-ending injuries ultimately shelved much of their Opening Day rotation,
the A's managed to effectively patch holes with free-agent veterans Brett
Anderson, Trevor Cahill and Edwin Jackson and then acquired Mike Fiers from the
Tigers in August.

運動家自己養出來的作物只有4個是全季後賽隊伍中最少的(全部都是選秀) 其中包含了
Chapman. 而交易成功的有16年來的KD 14年來的Semien 15從來的Lowrie 17年來的
Piscotty 這幾位球員扛起了打線 交易來的Treinen 全家 軟泥則建起了鐵牛棚
雖然傷兵讓他們開季的輪值砍了大半 但靠著自由球員簽約跟交易算是補起了洞


Astros
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 10 (WAR: 26.0)
 Draft: 8 (WAR: 18.5)
 International: 2 (WAR: 7.5)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 7.8)
Trades: 8 (WAR: 16.9)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: 2.0)
Rule 5 Draft: 1 (WAR: 2.5)

Four of the best players on the defending World Series champions were taken
with a No. 1 or 2 overall pick in the Draft: Astros draftees Carlos Correa
(No. 1, 2012) and Alex Bregman (No. 2, 2015) and blockbuster trade acquisitions
Justin Verlander (No. 2, 2004, Tigers) and Gerrit Cole (No. 1, 2011, Pirates).
By contrast, Houston also has a former MVP and a former Cy Young Award winner
who vastly exceeded expectations in Jose Altuve, signed for $15,000 out of
Venezuela in 2006, and Dallas Keuchel, a seventh-rounder two years later.
George Springer, a 2011 first-rounder, also was on hand when Jeff Luhnow took
over as GM later that year. In addition to overseeing the Correa and Bregman
drafts and making the Verlander and Cole deals, Luhnow made a number of
smaller acquisitions that have paid off such as plucking Marwin Gonzalez in the
Rule 5 Draft, claiming Collin McHugh off waivers and signing Charlie Morton
as a free agent.

衛冕軍陣中有兩個狀元兩個榜眼(Correa Bregman跟交易來的V中 Cole)
以及前MVP跟前CY (阿土伯跟開口) 春天哥也是GM接手後選進的


Indians
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 7 (WAR: 19.8)
 Draft: 5 (WAR: 15.6)
 International: 2 (WAR: 12.1)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 11.0)
Trades: 12 (WAR: 13.0)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: -0.5)

The Indians' secured their third straight AL Central title in 2018 with a
largely unchanged roster compared to previous years. Homegrown phenoms
Francisco Lindor (first round, 2011) and Jose Ramirez (international free
agent, '09) are MVP candidates once again and headline an Indians offense that
also features free-agents signings Edwin Encarnacion ('16) and Yonder Alonso
('17). On the mound, trade acquisitions Corey Kluber (2010), Carlos Carrasco
('09) and a combination of Trevor Bauer ('12) and Mike Clevinger ('14) give the
Indians a top-flight rotation, and the club dealt a top prospect for bullpen
help for a second time in three years when it landed Brad Hand and Adam Cimber
from San Diego at the Trade Deadline and then acquired Josh Donaldson from
Toronto the following month.

Red Sox
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 10 (WAR: 22.2)
 Draft: 8 (WAR: 18.4)
 International: 2 (WAR: 3.8)
Free Agents: 4 (WAR: 13.3)
Trades: 11 (WAR: 19.9)

With a notable free-agent exception (J.D. Martinez, David Price) in each case,
the Red Sox have compiled the best record in baseball and won their third
straight American League East title with a lineup built around homegrown
hitters and a pitching staff assembled through trades. MVP frontrunner Betts
was a fifth-round pick in a 2011 Draft that also yielded supplemental first-
rounder Bradley, while Benintendi was a 2015 first-rounder and Bogaerts signed
for $410,000 out of Aruba in 2009. President of baseball operations David
Dombrowski sacrificed top prospects to acquire Sale and Kimbrel, who have
starred in Boston. Previous GM Ben Cherington dealt for Rodriguez and Porcello
when the Red Sox were rebuilding.

Yankees
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 8 (WAR: 22.8)
 Draft: 4 (WAR: 11.7)
 International: 4 (WAR: 11.1)
Free Agents: 3 (WAR: 4.0)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 24.2)

The Yankees' best hitter (2013 first-round choice Aaron Judge) and best pitcher
(Luis Severino, signed out of the Dominican Republic for $225,000 in 2011) are
homegrown products. Yet for the most part, trades are the backbone of a team
making its third postseason appearance in four years. The Giancarlo Stanton
deal was a splashy move that generated a lot of headlines, but GM Brian Cashman
also has excelled at making stealth moves for the likes of Aaron Hicks (from
the Twins in exchange for John Ryan Murphy), Didi Gregorius (D-backs for Shane
Greene), Chad Green (Tigers for Justin Wilson) and J.A. Happ (Blue Jays for
Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney). And in a rare year where the Yankees were
sellers and not buyers, they grabbed Gleyber Torres in a package from the Cubs
for Aroldis Chapman in 2016.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Braves
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 7 (WAR: 21.0)
 Draft: 3 (WAR: 7.3)
 International: 4 (WAR: 13.7)
Free Agents: 6 (WAR: 8.1)
Trades: 11 (WAR: 13.9)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: 0.2)

The Braves' rebuild went into overdrive, getting them back into the postseason
for the first time since 2013 well ahead of schedule. The turnaround certainly
has some homegrown flavor, with international signees Ronald Acuna Jr. and
Ozzie Albies leading the charge and veteran Freddie Freeman the most key
draftee, taken way back in the second round of the 2007 Draft. But the best
talent acquisition has come via trade, often obtained while still in the Minor
Leagues. Former No. 1 overall pick Dansby Swanson is the most obvious example,
if healthy, though that list of acquired prospects also includes a standout
like Mike Foltynewicz, who had made it to the big leagues with the Astros in
2014, but established himself as a Brave in 2015, along with contributors like
Rio Ruiz, Touki Toussaint and Max Fried. A few seemingly quiet acquisitions of
established big leaguers, like Ender Inciarte (who came with Swanson from the
D-backs via trade) and Nick Markakis (free-agent signing) provided the
finishing pieces.

斧頭幫的重建提早收到效果 Acuna Jr. Albies以及老將Freeman都是自家養成
不過漂亮的交易則是重建成功的關鍵 Swanson是最佳例子(蛇蛇:)
一些小交易都成功轉化成戰力


Brewers
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 5 (WAR: 15.2)
 Draft: 4 (WAR: 15.6)
 International: 1 (WAR: -0.4)
Free Agents: 4 (WAR: 5.4)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 14.8)
Waivers: 2 (WAR: 1.4)

In their first postseason appearance since 2011, the Brewers' roster could
feature more players (16) acquired via a trade or waiver claim than any other
playoff team. Christian Yelich, acquired from Miami during the offseason, has
been an MVP candidate, while slugger Jesus Aguilar has blossomed into star
slugger after being claimed off waivers from the Indians in February. GM David
Stearns added a host of upcoming free agents at the Deadline through deals for
veteran hitters such as Mike Moustakas (Royals), Jonathan Schoop (Orioles) and
Curtis Granderson (Blue Jays), lefty starter Gio Gonzalez (Nationals) and
relievers Joakim Soria and Xavier Cedeno (White Sox). The latter two help to
comprise a dynamic bullpen that includes fellow acquisitions Josh Hader
(Astros, '15), Jeremy Jeffress (Rangers, '17) and Corey Knebel (Rangers, '15).
Lorenzo Cain, the club's major offseason signing, should also garner some MVP
votes after an outstanding season -- his first as part of a 5-year, $80 million
deal -- alongside Yelich in the Brewers' outfield.

2011年之後 釀酒人第一次進季後賽 最重要的當然是Jeter抖內的耶律齊
Aguilar則是從讓渡名單撿來大爆發
GM則是在交易大限前做了數筆漂亮的交易 打者像是Moose Schoop跟葛嬸
投手則有Gio Soria跟Cedeno 搭配前幾年交易來的球員跟FA簽下的Cain成功闖進季後賽

Cubs
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 7 (WAR: 15.5)
 Draft: 6 (WAR: 12.7)
 International: 1 (WAR: 2.9)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 11.1)
Trades: 13 (WAR: 17.4)

The Cubs famously and successfully used five consecutive first-round picks on
hitters: Baez (2011), Almora (2012), Bryant (2013), Schwarber (2014) and Happ
(2015). All are key cogs in Chicago and Baez may be the National League MVP,
but the only other homegrown players on the postseason roster are Contreras
(signed for $850,000 out of Venezuela in 2009) and David Bote (an 18th-rounder
in 2012). The Cubs are vying for their second championship in three years and
fourth straight National League Championship Series appearance with a pitching
staff comprised solely of trade acquisitions (Hendricks, Hamels, Strop,
Quintana) and free-agent signings (Lester, Steve Cishek) made by president of
baseball operations Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer. They also went outside the
organization to sign Ben Zobrist and deal for Anthony Rizzo.

Dodgers
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 11 (WAR: 23.7)
 Draft: 6 (WAR: 16.7)
 International: 5 (WAR: 7)
Free Agents: 2 (WAR: 8.7)
Trades: 12 (WAR: 18.7)

Though the Dodgers had baseball's largest payroll each year from 2014-17 and
rank third among postseason teams in 2018, they are the most homegrown
postseason participant besides the Rockies. Clayton Kershaw (2006) and Walker
Buehler (2015) were first-round selections, while Ross Stripling (fifth round,
2012) and Cody Bellinger (fourth round, 2013) were later-round steals. Los
Angeles leads all playoff clubs with five international signees, including
Yasiel Puig ($42 million contract out of Cuba in 2012), Hyun-Jin Ryu ($36
million contract, Korea, 2012) and Kenley Jansen ($85,000 as a catcher,
Curacao, 2004). The Dodgers have fewer free agents than anyone, though both
Justin Turner and Max Muncy have made bigger impacts that expected. President
of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and GM Farhan Zaidi have filled out the
lineup with astute trades for Manny Machado, Chris Taylor, Yasmani Grandal and
Enrique Hernandez.

Rockies
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 12 (WAR: 30)
 Draft: 11 (WAR: 28.7)
 International: 1 (WAR: 1.3)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 0.7)
Trades: 5 (WAR: 8.5)
Waivers: 3 (WAR: 2.2)

No playoff team relies on its homegrown nucleus more than the Rockies, who are
making their second straight playoff appearance. Their three best hitters are
all products of the Draft (2011 supplemental first-rounder Trevor Story, 2009
second-rounder Nolan Arenado, 2008 second-rounder Charlie Blackmon), as are
four of their top six pitchers (2014 first-rounder Kyle Freeland, 2011 first-
rounder Tyler Anderson, 2013 first-rounder Jon Gray, 2012 15th-rounder Scott
Oberg). Colorado has by far the fewest trade pickups (five) of any of the
postseason participants, though German Marquez and DJ LeMahieu have been
essential after coming over in one-sided deals. Free agency hasn't been as
kind to the Rockies, as they spent roughly $52 million this year on five guys
who combined for -0.4 WAR, but Adam Ottavino is the best waiver claimee
pitching in the playoffs.

前六名的投手則有四位是選秀 Freeland Anderson Gray Oberg
而交易只有五名選手是十隊中最少的 Marquez LeMahieu是其中漂亮的兩偷
