Free Agent Stock Watch: Mariano Rivera

    It's not often that a free agent class offers not just one, but two
    first-ballot Hall of Fame relievers, yet that's exactly the situation
    we're in this offseason. Let's review the stock of the great
    Mariano Rivera...

  The Good

   ＊ Rivera remains the master at limiting base runners, holding opponents
      to a .181/.211/.266 batting line with just 25 unintentional walks over
      the last three seasons. His WHIP during that time is a microscopic 0.797.
      終結對手上壘的機會。

   ＊ His postseason track record is unmatched in terms of both quantity and
      quality. His 139.2 playoff innings feature a 0.71 ERA and 0.766 WHIP,
      and it's been ten years since someone took him deep in the postseason.
      季後賽經驗豐富又超強。

   ＊ Although he's a Type-A free agent, the Yankees did not offer Rivera
      arbitration, so it would not cost a draft pick to sign him.
      洋基沒給仲裁，不用擔心丟選秀。


  The Bad

   ＊ Rivera will turn 41 years old on Monday, and just three men in
      baseball history (Dennis Eckersley, Hoyt Wilhelm, and Trevor Hoffman)
      have recorded a 20-save season at that age or older.
      Mo 41 囉，史上只有3個人能在這般年紀一季拿20救援以上。

   ＊ He's two years removed from offseason shoulder surgery and has dealt
      with a nagging side injury since the 2009 playoffs.
      傷痛問題，連兩年肩傷和難癒的肋傷。

   ＊ The velocity of his legendary cutter is gradually declining,

      Mo的傳奇卡特球速逐步下滑。

      and his 6.8 K/9 in 2010 is his second lowest strikeout rate since 1998.

      今年的6.8 K/9是1998以來第二低的(生涯第三低)。


  The Verdict

    Rivera is a free agent in name only, as just about everyone expects him
    to re-sign with the Yankees at some point. Even so, he's reportedly
    seeking a two-year deal worth $18MM a season, a price very few teams
    can match. The Yanks understandably want to limit a contract to one
    season, but there's no reason to expect Mo to wear anything but Yankee
    pinstripes in 2011.
    基本上，明年還是會穿條紋衣。
