[外電] Inbox:What offseason moves could make?

[vg175 (非典型廢言)]

This past season, Adam LaRoche had a .403 slugging percentage, which might
fly at shortstop, but not at first base. Do you think that Tyler Moore is
good enough to be in a platoon with LaRoche, or should the Nats go after
someone like James Loney to start most of the time?
-- Jack G. , Kensington, N.Y.

過去這個球季Adam LaRoche的長打率只有.403，
這比較像是游擊手的數字而非一壘手。
你覺得Tyler Moore是否好到能跟LaRoche輪替，
或者國民應該追求像James Loney這樣的球員來專任一壘？

LaRoche will be back as the everyday first baseman in 2014. I'm going to
give him the benefit of the doubt in this case when it comes to the numbers
he put up this past season. He has to figure out his medication for
attention deficit disorder. The medication is the reason he lost 15 to 20
pounds and lost some of his home run power. As for Moore, he will come off
the bench, and there is a feeling in the front office that he will do much
better than he did this year.

LaRoche明年依舊會天天上場守一壘。
我姑且相信他今年的低潮是有理由的。
他得解決過動症的用藥問題，
這是他今年減少15至20磅的原因，也奪走他部分的開砲能力。
至於Moore，他還是會從板凳出發，
制服組也相信他會表現得比今年更好。

How does Ross Ohlendorf fit in with the Nationals' future plans? I see him
as a great No. 4 or 5 starter.
-- Bill D., Cromwell, Conn.

Ross Ohlendorf在國民的未來計畫裡會是什麼樣的角色？
我覺得他會是個很棒的四五號先發。

He is arbitration eligible and he should be back as a long man. I don't see
him as a fourth or fifth starter next year. He had a tendency to run out of
gas after five innings, according to former manager Davey Johnson.

他還在仲裁階段也應該會回來擔任長中繼，
我不認為他明年會是四五號先發。
根據前任總教練Davey Johnson所說，
他有五局之後便油料用盡的傾向。

I feel like the Nationals should go after center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
How do you feel about that?
-- Nico M., Brooklyn N.Y.

我有國民應該追逐中外野手Jacoby Ellsbury的感覺。你覺得呢？

A few months ago, I thought the same thing because Ellsbury is a Scott Boras
client and has put impressive numbers when he is healthy. But after watching
Denard Span play the last two months, I believe he will continue to be the
Nationals' center fielder in 2014. Span put up respectable numbers this past
season and he has earned the right to be the starting center fielder in
Washington. I think he will put up better numbers next year.

幾個月前我也這麼想，因為Ellsbury是Scott Boras的客戶，
當他健康時他的數據也十分搶眼。
但看過Denard Span過去兩個月的表現後，
我相信他會繼續擔任國民2014年的中外野手。
Span累積相當可敬的數字，
也理應贏得扛下華盛頓先發中外野的權利。
我想他明年會繳出更好的成績。

Have you noticed how similar the home run swings of Wilson Ramos and Andres
Galarraga are? Every time Ramos goes yard, he reminds me of The Big Cat.
-- John B., Portland, Ore.

你有注意到Wilson Ramos跟Andres Galarraga開砲時的揮棒有多相似嗎？
每當Ramos敲轟後總是會讓我想起大貓。

I can see similarities, especially the way they stand in the batter's box.
If Ramos can stay healthy, he can put up similar numbers to The Big Cat.

我能看見許多相似點，特別是他們站在打擊區裡的樣子。
如果Ramos能保持健康，他也能提供近似大貓的數據。

Do you think the Nationals should go after another pitcher or two during the
free agency period?
-- Brian V., Slinger, Wis.

你想國民應該到自由市場上撈一或兩隻投手回來嗎？

I could see them going after a pitcher in free agency or trading for one.
At this time, they shouldn't go after a guy who is coming off a disappointing
season or worth a lot of money. Give your money to Jordan Zimmermann, who
deserves a raise.

我能預見他們會透過自由市場或交易弄一隻來。
在這個時間點，
他們不該找在今年陷入低潮或者要花不少錢去請的投手。
把錢省給值得加薪的Jordan Zimmermann吧。

Will Jhonatan Solano be the backup catcher out of Spring Training or will
the Nationals try to bring in someone else? -- Anthony M., Dublin, Ga.

春訓過後Jhonatan Solano會是替補捕手嗎？
或者國民會嘗試去另外找一個來？

Solano will have to prove during Spring Training that he can be the No. 2 guy
behind the plate. He didn't get much of a chance in the Major Leagues, but he
didn't have a good season in the Minor Leagues. It would not surprise me if
the Nationals tried to get a No. 2 catcher with some power.

Solano得在春訓證明自己能蹲二號捕手。
他在大聯盟得不到多少機會，
但他今年在小聯盟也不怎麼樣。
我不意外國民會另外找個有些砲瓦的二號。

Do you think a new manager will be able to change the hitting philosophy of
the team and play more small ball instead of over-swinging and trying for
home runs all of the time?
-- Kermit S., Gettysburg, Pa.

你覺得新總教練能改變球隊的打擊觀念嗎？
多用些小球戰術，而不是每次都猛力揮棒求開砲。

I thought the hitting philosophy was settled after the Nationals hired Rick
Schu as the hitting coach after the All-Star break. The team hit .267 with
a .331 on-base percentage after Schu arrived. I expect the Nationals to
improve even more under Schu in 2014.

我想打擊觀念在Rick Schu進駐後已經設定好了。
國民在全明星週之後雇用Schu，
這段期間球隊打出.267打擊率與.331上壘率。
我預期國民明年在Schu指導下還會變得更好。

From a hitting standpoint, the only thing I expect to change dramatically
is the bench. I think the starting eight will remain the same as this past
season.

從攻擊觀點來說，會讓我預期有戲劇性改變的只有板凳。
另外八個先發位置則還是會跟今年一樣。

I think that left-hander David Price would be the ideal arm to add to the
Nationals' rotation. If he is willing to agree to an extension, do you think
that he would be a good fit for the Nationals?
-- Greg M., Washington D.C.

我想左投David Price的手臂對國民輪值而言相當理想。
假設他願意簽下延長合約，你認為他對國民是合適的選擇嗎？

Of course Price would be a great addition for the Nationals. However, the
Rays still have two more years of control when it comes to Price. Keep in
mind that the Rays are not loaded with pitching like they were a few years
back. Let's see what happens during the offseason.

能補進Price對國民來說當然非常棒。
然而光芒還有兩年能控制Price，
要記得光芒現在的投手存量已經不如幾年前。
就等著看季後有什麼變化吧。
