: Well-traveled Britton recalled to Yanks
: Reliever going to be used more frequently, says Girardi

善旅行的Britton被洋基召回
- Girardi表示會更常使用Britton

: By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
: BALTIMORE -- To this point in the big league season, Chris Britton hasn't had
: the opportunity to do much but amass frequent traveler miles. Now serving his
: fourth stint with the Yankees this year, the right-hander hopes that is about
: to change.

本球季至今Britton並沒有多少表現機會，反倒是累積了一堆飛行里程，這是他今年
第四次被叫上大聯盟，這名右投手希望情況能有所改變。

: The 25-year-old Britton was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre yet
: again on Wednesday, taking the place of the injured Ian Kennedy on the
: Yankees' pitching staff.

25歲的Britton周三再度從3A召回，填補Kennedy因傷空出的投手位置。

: Despite his frequent presence in the clubhouse, Britton has appeared in just
: two games for the Yankees this season, though he was 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in
: 10 games at Triple-A. Now that Joba Chamberlain has started his transition to
: the rotation, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he is open to offering Britton
: a few more innings.

儘管他常常在球員休息室現身，而且在3A十場出賽交出兩勝一敗ERA 2.08的表現，
Britton本季卻只在大聯盟出賽兩場。現在Chamberlain已經開始轉換角色，教練Girardi
表示他可接受讓Britton投更多局數。

: "You try to pick situations, just like any other pitcher, where a guy in your
: mind you believe is going to be successful," Girardi said. "We're going to
: need him. He'll get his opportunities when we call upon him and he's done
: well for us."

「你試著抓住機會，就像其他投手，你相信這傢伙將會成功。」Girardi說。「我們正
需要他。當他被叫上大聯盟時，他得到機會且作得不錯。」

: Perhaps the most laughable experience of Britton's season came on May 9, when
: he was optioned to Triple-A for the second time. Britton packed his bags and
: left Comerica Park, but was in the air only for a few minutes when
: right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo was injured pitching against the Tigers.

也許Britton本季最好笑的經驗是在5/9，當他二度被下放到3A時。他剛才打包好離開
Comerica Park，登機沒多久Albaladejo就受傷了。

: When Britton landed in Nashville, Tenn., where he'd hoped to spend a night at
: home before joining Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at Indianapolis, he had a message
: on his cell phone telling him to return to Detroit and rejoin the Yankees for
: the next afternoon's game.

當Britton在田納西Nashville降落時，他原本希望在老家待一晚再去3A，結果手機簡訊
要他回到底特律參加洋基隔天下午的比賽。

: Even more amazingly, it was the second time Britton was sent down this season
: only to be recalled less than 24 hours later.

更驚奇地，這是Britton被送回3A的24小時內第二次被叫回來。

: "I think the hardest part is really not knowing where you're going to be the
: next day, so you've got to perform your best all of the time," Britton said.
: "Until I put in my time and pay my dues, I guess I'll have to be on that
: schedule."

「我想最艱困的是不曉得自己隔天會在哪裡，因此每一刻都得表現出最好的樣子。」
Britton說。「直到我花時間做好份內的事，我想我一定得在那樣的行程上。」

: Regarding Britton's lack of use at the big league level, Girardi explained
: that the Yankees used him as more of a long reliever, and on many occasions,
: they didn't need one. Girardi also said the bullpen can fluidly change
: day-to-day as the Yankees continue to look for a setup that can assure them
: consistency.

關於Britton在大聯盟的低使用率，Girardi解釋是因為洋基多半把他當成長中繼使用，
而很多時候，洋基並不需要長中繼。Girardi也表示當洋基繼續尋找可靠的設局投手時，
牛棚是可以每天變的。

: There's little doubt which method of travel better agrees with Britton.
: "It's night and day," Britton said. "In Triple-A, we have long bus rides and
: if you have a flight, you have to get up at the crack of dawn. Up here, it's
: pretty relaxed. You can get on a bus and jump on a plane. You're there in
: three hours, whereas in Triple-A, you might be on the bus for eight or nine
: hours."

哪種旅行方式對Britton比較好其實沒甚麼好質疑。Britton說：「在3A得搭長途
巴士移動，如果有飛機可搭，就得在黎明破曉時動身。(註：早班飛機票價便宜)
大聯盟就輕鬆多了，你可以搭巴士然後跳上飛機，三小時就可以抵達。然而在3A，
大概得搭八到九小時的巴士。」

: Britton said that, through all of his ups and downs -- literally -- this
: season, one major thought has echoed in his head. His parents have been a
: source of encouragement, urging Britton to keep moving, wherever that may
: take him tomorrow.

經過了這麼多升升降降，Britton表示有個信念在他腦中回響。他的雙親是主要的鼓勵
來源，無論明天會在哪，都促使他努力向上。

: "In some way, shape or form, everybody has a setback where they have to just
: deal with it and keep on going," Britton said. "Where I'm at right now,
: there's not too many people in the world who get an opportunity to do it.
: I've just got to take the hits. It's hard to get here but it's even harder to
: stay here."

「無論任何方式和形態，每個人都有挫折─這就是需要處理並繼續往前。」
Britton說，「我目前所在的地方，全世界並沒有多少人有機會站在這。我得接受挑戰。
上大聯盟很困難，但留下來更困難。」
