[外電] Inbox: Could Nats look to trade Rendon

[vg175 (非典型廢言)]

Do you think Anthony Rendon will be in the regular lineup in 2014, or is there
a possibility of him being traded?
-- Donna L., Chambersburg, Pa.

你覺得Rendon會是2014年的先發選手，或者他有可能被交易？

I don't know yet. On Oct. 10, I said that if the Nationals want to acquire a
pitcher such as Rays left-hander David Price, they may have to trade young
talent such as Rendon. As of now, he is the regular second baseman, but things
could change after the Winter Meetings.

我還不知道。10/10時我說過若國民想要像David Price這樣的投手，
就得付出Rendon這樣的代價。到目前為止他是球隊正規二壘手，但情
況在冬季會議後也可能改變。

What do you think about Drew Storen's future with the Nationals? And with that
said, what do you think the Nats could get back in a trade?
-- Greg S., Coquitlam, Canada

你覺得 Drew Storen在國民的未來會如何？假如被交易他能替球隊換
回什麼？

I'd say it's less than 50 percent that Storen will stay with the Nationals.
While I think Storen would do a great job as a setup man for Washington, there
are other teams like the Tigers who are looking for a closer. If the Nats want
to acquire an ace like Max Scherzer, they may have to trade Storen. If Storen
were to be traded, he would likely go in a package with a bunch of players.

雖然我認為他對國民而言是個很棒的 setup man，但我會說他留在國
民的機率低於五成。像老虎之類的某些球隊在尋找終結者，如果國民
想要Max Scherzer這樣的王牌，也許必須放棄Storen。假設Storen會
被交易，他比較可能是包裹中的一人。

Do you think the Nationals will go after free-agent lefty Eric O'Flaherty to
improve their bullpen depth? O'Flaherty was impressive with the Braves, and
left-handed relief was one of the Nats' pitfalls last year.
-- Josh L., Montclair, Va.

你想國民會追FA左投 Eric O'Flaherty來充實牛棚嗎？O'Flaherty在
勇士令人印象深刻，而缺少左手牛正是國民去年的隱憂之一。

O'Flaherty is coming off Tommy John surgery. If this were three years ago, I
would say the Nationals might take a chance on an injured player like
O'Flaherty. Remember, in early 2010, they took a chance on Chien-Ming Wang, who
was coming off shoulder surgery, in hopes that he would be healthy again. That
didn't pan out. But the Nats are looking to win now. I would think they would
want a healthier pitcher going into the season.

O'Flaherty剛動完TJ，如果三年前我會說國民也許願意在O'Flaherty
這樣受過傷的球員身上賭一把。記得2010年年初，他們把機會做給動
過肩膀手術的Wang，希望他能再次健康登板，結果沒能成功。但國民
現在就想要贏，所以我想他們會比較希望找健康點的投手。

Wouldn't a bench of Steve Lombardozzi, Tyler Moore, Zach Walters and Scott
Hairston give the Nationals a balance of lefty/righty bats and much more field
flexibility than they have had in recent seasons?
-- Kermit S., Gettysburg, Pa.

板凳選手像Steve Lombardozzi，Tyler Moore，Zach Walters與Scott
Hairston能替球隊平衡左右打線，並且在野手使用上比過去幾季更靈
活嗎？

Based on who you have, there might not be enough power on the bench. Keep in
mind that the Nationals are looking for a fourth outfielder who is left-handed
with power. They are looking for a backup catcher who can hit a little as well
and can replace Wilson Ramos if he can't play for a lengthy period because of
injuries.

這得看你手上的牌有誰，板凳火力或許仍嫌不足。記得國民還在找具
備左打砲瓦的四號外野手，他們也在找多少算能打的板凳捕手，以便
Wilson Ramos如因健康疑慮無法蹲完冗長的球季時得以替補。

Reportedly the Nats are looking for an elite starter, and it's been said that
Scherzer is a better fit than Price because of Mike Rizzo's history with
Scherzer. I don't understand why a relationship with the general manager makes
a player or manager the best choice. What does liking him or knowing him have
to do with it? Shouldn't the choice be made by determining who is the best
pitcher for the Nats?
-- Bethann G., Va.

據報導國民追求頂尖投手，也說因為Mike Rizzo過去與Scherzer的關
係他會比Price更合適。我不了解為什麼跟 GM的關係會使一個球員或
教練變成所謂最棒的人選。這跟喜歡某人或認識某人有什麼牽拖？難
道國民不是用誰最適合他們來決定誰是最棒的嗎？

It helps that Rizzo knows Scherzer because Rizzo drafted the right-hander and
watched him develop over the years. It doesn't hurt that Rizzo has a great
relationship with agent Scott Boras. So if the Nationals traded for Scherzer,
there is a good chance he would stay in Washington past 2014, when he would
become a free agent.

有幫助的原因是Rizzo選了Scherzer並且看著他成長好些年，Rizzo與
Scott Boras關係良好也不是壞事。因為如果國民交易 Scherzer，就
算他2014年季後成為FA國民也有很好的機會能留住他。

As far as Price goes, I'm sure the Nats have had a hoard of scouts watching
him over the last few years. Like Scherzer, it's going to take a lot to acquire
Price.

我很確定國民過去幾年派一堆球探去觀察Price。但就像 Scherzer，
要拿Price得付出一拖拉庫。

With Adam LaRoche having a bad season at the plate, do you think the Nationals
will end up trading him along with possibly Danny Espinosa and others to the
Rays for Price?
-- Johnathon C., Washington

Adam LaRoche今年在打擊區的表現很爛，你覺得國民最終會將他跟或
許是Danny Espinosa與其他球員一起打包交易Price嗎？

LaRoche is going nowhere. I expect him to be the starting first baseman in
2014. I would hate to lose LaRoche's glove. He is one of the best defensive
first baseman I've seen over the years.

LaRoche 哪裡都不會去，我預期他會是2014年的先發一壘手。如果失
去LaRoche的手套我會幹死，他是我看過守備最好的一壘手之一。

I do see Espinosa getting traded, but considering the season he had, I don't
see him going for a player like Price. Espinosa could go in a Minor League
trade, I would think.

Espinosa就可能離開。但考量到他今年的表現，我不認為他能換到像
Price這樣的選手。我會認為Espinosa比較有可能換農作物。

今天的Inbox都是Ladson對交易文的回應,
算是比較值得翻.
我記得去年就是他先說就算Sorryano來了也別意外,
所以他這方面的消息應該還算靈通.
