[外電] Inbox: Will Haren be re-signed by Nats

[vg175 (非典型廢言)]

By Bill Ladson

Given the way Dan Haren has pitched since being activated from the disabled
list, do you see any chance the Nationals re-signing him?
-- Ed G., Alexandria, Va.

觀察Dan Haren從傷兵名單中復出後的成績，
你覺得國民有任何機會續簽他嗎？

If you asked me this question a month ago, I would have said no, because of
Haren's overall performance. A month later, my answer is still no, because I
don't see the Nationals giving him $13 million or more to stay. Keep in mind
that Haren is a big-time family man, and I would think he would want to be
closer to his wife and kids in Southern California. We should have more
information after the season ends. Things could change.

如果你一個月前問我，基於他的表現我會說不。
一個月後我還是會說不，
因為我不認為國民會為了留他支付13M甚至更多。
記住Haren是個愛家好男人，我想他會更希望離住南加州的妻子小孩近一些。
球季結束後我們應該能得到更多訊息。情況也可能改變。

Tyler Clippard is and has been pitching better than anyone in the Nationals'
bullpen, including Rafael Soriano. Why isn't Clippard closing? As a Nats fan,
it's tough to sit through so much drama every time Soriano steps on the mound.
-- Ethan K., Los Angeles

Tyler Clippard投得比牛棚裡任何一個投手都好，包括Rafael Soriano。
為什麼不給Clippard關門？
身為一個國民粉實在很難忍受每次Soriano上場都要演劇場。

This past weekend, manager Davey Johnson gave me the impression that he was
feeling the same way. Here is what he said after the Nationals defeated the
Royals, 7-2, on Saturday night, after he put Clippard in the game in the
ninth inning: "I wasn't taking any chances. I was using Clip. I want to make
sure we ice that one down. ... We can't take nothing for granted. That was a
great win. We need to keep it going tomorrow."

過去一週總仔Davey Johnson給我的印象是他也這麼想。
週六晚間國民以7-2擊敗皇家那場比賽他讓Clippard在九局登板，
賽後他說：＂我不打算冒險，所以我用Clip。
我要確定我們能凍住皇家的棒子．．．沒什麼是絕對的。
這是場了不起的勝利，明天我們也得保持下去。＂

I wondered if Clippard was going to be the closer for the rest of the season.
We should know by the time the Nats face the Marlins starting Tuesday.

我很好奇Clippard會不會在剩下的球季擔任終結者。
禮拜二對馬林魚的系列戰開始時我們應該就會知道了。

Do you think Mike Rizzo would consider hiring Mike Scioscia as the Nationals'
next manager? Looks like his time in Anaheim may be ending.
-- Rich R., Slingerlands, N.Y.

你想Mike Rizzo會不會考慮雇用Mike Scioscia擔任總仔？
看來他在安那罕的時間也許將要結束了。

I have not talked to Rizzo about his managerial candidates, but if Scioscia
is dismissed as manager of the Angels, there is no question he should be
considered for the job in Washington. He would be my top choice. Scioscia's
record speaks for itself. He has the respect of his players.

我還沒跟Rizzo討論過他的口袋名單，
但如果Scioscia離開他在天使的總仔位置，毫無疑問他會是華盛頓的人選。
他會是我的首選。
紀錄會說話，Scioscia也能得到球員們的敬重。

Here is what Haren said about Scioscia not too long ago: "He's really an
intelligent guy. If [he is dismissed], he would be without a job for two
minutes. Teams would be lucky to have him."

Haren在不久前曾這麼說到Scioscia：
＂他真的是個很聰明傢伙。如果（他真的離開），失業也不會超過兩分鐘。
能擁有他的球隊相當幸運。＂

Before we start contemplating giving up on Denard Span after less than a
year, I think about how many people were also inclined to give up on Jayson
Werth after his first year in Washington. Now, Werth is contending for the
batting title this year. Good thing the Nationals were locked in by his
contract after that first year.
-- Don P., Alexandria, Va.

在開始沉思是否要因為不如預期的輸出而放棄Denard Span前，
我想有多少人看到Jayson Werth入隊第一年後也抱持同樣的想法？
而現在Werth足以挑戰打擊王的頭銜。
好在國民那年後還能鎖住他的合約。

I see your point. Span is 16-for-40 (.400) in his last nine games and has
seen his overall batting average go up to .270. But keep in mind that Span
has a friendly contract and can be easily dealt if the Nationals decide to
acquire another center fielder. Werth does not have a friendly contract and
couldn't be dealt if the Nats tried, so they had no choice but to be patient
with Werth.

我知道你想說什麼。過去九場比賽Span繳出16-for-40，也將打擊率提升至.270。
但是記得Span簽的可是友情約，如果國民決定另尋中外野手，Span也很容易處理。
Werth的約一點也不友善而且國民動不了他。
他們沒有選擇，只能期待Werth反彈。

Looking to next year, doesn't Steve Lombardozzi remind you of Chase Utley at
second? And what happens with Tyler Moore as either an outfielder or first
baseman? Both of these young guys are too good not to get a real chance at
starting for the Nats.
-- Norm F., Berryville, Va.

遠眺來年，Steve Lombardozzi能成為你的Chase Utley嗎？
Tyler Moore在外野或一壘的未來又會如何？
這兩個年輕選手都很棒，但在國民他們得不到真正的先發機會。

I don't see the comparison between Lombardozzi and Utley, except that both play
the game hard. If you took a fan poll, Lombo would play every day, but the
Nationals see him as no more than a backup. Johnson has had plenty of chances
to start Lombo, but he's decided to play Anthony Rendon at second base.

除了都很努力拼戰以外，我不覺得Lombardozzi跟Utley有什麼能比的。
如果你讓粉絲投票，Lombo每天都能上場，但國民只認為他是個板凳選手。
Johnson有一堆機會能讓Lombo先發，只不過他還是選了Anthony Rendon。

As for Moore, I see him getting a lot of playing time in the future. The Nats
really believe in him as a player. I think most of his playing time in the
future will be at first base if they trade Adam LaRoche after this season.

至於Moore，我能預見他未來會得到很多機會。
國民相信他是個真貨。
如果Adam LaRoche季後被交易的話，
Moore能在一壘手的位置上獲得很多上場時間。

Would the Nationals have interest in signing outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who
is a free agent after this season?
-- Chris B., Alexandria, Va.

國民有興趣簽下季後自由球員Jacoby Ellsbury嗎？

Ellsbury's agent is Scott Boras, and I wouldn't put anything past the Nationals
regarding a Boras client. Ellsbury has a high on-base percentage when he is
healthy and is one of the reasons the Red Sox could go to the postseason this
year.

Ellsbury的經紀人是Scott Boras，
如果國民對Boras的客戶感興趣我一點都不意外。
只要健康Ellsbury擁有很高的上壘率，
他也是紅襪今年能競逐季後賽的原因之一。
