[洋基] Panic and patience

  Panic and patience
  Posted by: Chad Jennings - Posted in Misc on Dec 20, 2010 

  At some point yesterday morning, around the time the Zack Greinke news
  spread to major media outlets, the state of panic in the Yankees fan base
  seemed to reach a new peak for this offseason.

  當Greinke被釀酒人換去的消息出來以後，洋基球迷的恐慌似乎達到一個新高點。

  The concern was very mild when the Derek Jeter negotiations turned sour.
  Then the Red Sox traded for Adrian Gonzalez. Then the Red Sox signed
  Carl Crawford. Then Philadelphia got Cliff Lee. Then Milwaukee landed
  Greinke. One by one, big pieces have come off the board, and all the
  Yankees have done is re-sign two of their own plus a catcher who hasn’t
  hit in two years.

  從與Jeter的談判不順開始，到紅襪交易來A-Gon、簽下Crawford，接著費城人簽下
  Lee，最後釀酒人換走Greinke。一個接一個大物搬新家，洋基只能看人吃麵，最後
  只有簽回2名自家球員 + 一名前兩年打得不好的捕手。

  My question is this: Is the concern centered on wanting the Yankees to
  do something or wanting them to do anything? In other words, is there
  something specific Brian Cashman has done wrong and needs to fix, or are
  his patience and silence making things uncomfortable?

  我的問題是：這些擔心究竟是希望洋基有些作為，或希望洋基做到所有的事？換句
  話說，現金人是否有犯一些具體的錯誤，或只是他的耐心和沉默讓基迷感覺不舒服？

  Cashman hasn’t done much, but I’m not sure he’s truly missed out on
  very much either. I would never argue that he’s had a good offseason,
  but looking at a few common complaints, it might also be too early to
  claim he’s had a bad one.

  這個休季現金人沒有做太多事，但我也不認為他真的錯過什麼。我不會認為他現在
  的表現很好，但一些常見的抱怨也未免太早把事情下定論了。

  Top free agents got away
  頂級FA都沒了

  Jayson Werth and Carl Crawford signed before Cliff Lee, and that
  essentially kept the Yankees out of the running for either of them.
  Outfield wasn’t a priority, pitching was, and Lee might or might not
  have been a fair fight. Otherwise, the biggest free agents who fit with
  the Yankees, signed with the Yankees: Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.

  Werth 和 Crawford 都在 Lee 之前被簽下，這基本上讓洋基沒機會去競爭他們。補
  外野手不是我們的優先事項，補投手才是。而對 Lee 的競爭看來是不公平的。剩下
  適合洋基的大物FA，我們也簽下了：隊長和 Mo 。

  Trade targets have gone elsewhere
  交易目標都跑了

  There was obvious frustration yesterday when Zack Greinke landed in
  Milwaukee for a package of young players that did not include a single
  premier prospect, but the Yankees didn’t match what the Royals were
  looking for in up the middle talent. It’s not even certain the Yankees
  considered Greinke a viable option in New York. Otherwise, most completed
  trades have been for players who either didn’t fit for the Yankees
  (Adrian Gonzalez, Dan Uggla) or are infinitely replaceable (Brendan Ryan,
  Josh Willingham). Those deals to not make or break the Yankees season.

  當釀酒人用一包不含超級新秀的年輕球員就換到 Greinke，很多人感到失望。但洋
  基沒有皇家要的中線人才，也不確定 Greinke 是否能適應紐約。而另外的大物交易
  要麼不適合洋基(A-Gon、Uggla)，要麼不是很有用。總的來說，這些交易可有可無。

  The lineup has not improved
  打線沒有強化

  The lineup didn’t need to improve. The Yankees scored the most runs in
  baseball last season, and that was despite down years from Jeter, Mark
  Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez. The one position that needed a boost,
  catcher, has been addressed with a reasonable $4-million deal with Russell
  Martin. It would have been surprising to see the Yankees overhaul the
  lineup. Staying with more or less the same starting nine is not a shock,
  nor should it be a cause for concern.

  打線不需要強化。儘管去年隊長、鐵爺和A-Rod都打得不好，我們還是拿了全聯盟最
  多分。唯一算是需要補強的位子－捕手，也補進 Martin 強化。洋基大修打線才是
  奇怪的事情。

  The rotation still has holes
  輪值還是有洞

  This is true. Andy Pettitte still hasn’t made a decision, and that’s as
  expected. Lee was supposed to make everything better, but he signed
  elsewhere despite a bigger offer from the Yankees. At the time, Cashman
  said he would be patient, that the cost in terms of both free agents and
  trade chips would go through the roof for a while. That was less than a
  week ago. In that time, who, aside from Greinke, has come off the board
  who would have helped the Yankees rotation?

  這是事實。派帥一如預期的還沒做出決定。Lee 可以解決一切問題，不過他最終選擇
  了費城。當時現金人說他會保持耐心，在那個FA跟交易市場都漲得離譜的時候。那是
  不到一個禮拜前的事。但那個時候，除了 Greinke 又有哪個可以補的人是能幫助洋
  基輪值的呢？ (感謝jdtrue板友)

  The bullpen still has holes
  牛棚也還有洞 

  Perhaps the most legitimate gripe of the Yankees offseason. The team
  hasn’t necessarily been stingy — it did award the second largest
  left-handed reliever contract of the winter — but it hasn’t been
  aggressive either. The relief market still has plenty of viable options,
  but the a lot of late-inning options have come off the board (some on
  surprisingly large and lengthy deals, but that’s the going rate for
  relievers these days).

  這或許是這個休季最該抱怨的地方。我們簽下了市場上第2大的左手牛，並不小氣，
  但沒有任何侵略性。牛棚市場仍有不少選擇，但很多能吃後段局數的選項已經沒了。

  Eduardo Nunez is the best hitter on the bench
  Nunez是板凳上最好的打者

  Not to knock on Noony, but the Yankees bench remains incredibly young
  and inexperienced, but it should come as no shock that Cashman is
  taking his time finding reserves and role players. Last year he let
  the market for Marcus Thames fall all the way to a minor league deal,
  and that was arguably his best offseason signing. The Randy Winn deal,
  of course, didn’t work so well. The Yankees still have a very real
  need for a fourth outfielder, and an experienced utility man wouldn’t
  hurt, but there are plenty of those options available.

  洋基的板凳太過年輕而缺乏經驗，現金人已經在尋找板凳球員。去年他以小聯盟約
  簽下 Marcus Thames 可說是做得非常好。而 Randy Winn 的部分就沒有這麼漂亮了
  。洋基仍然需要一名四號外野手 + 一名有經驗的工具人，但市場上還有很多選擇。
