[紅襪] Ortiz on Alfredo Aceves

David Ortiz Says Alfredo Aceves Can Flourish With Red Sox If Right Leader
Tells Him What to Do

http://t.co/Ku0SsTRU

The consensus among Red Sox fans of one-time closer Alfredo Aceves was that
he was a man unhinged.

很多紅襪迷的共識是曾任終結者的Aceves有些瘋癲。

Aceves provided some of the more entertaining — or flat-out scary — moments
in the second half of last year’s worth-forgetting season, feuding with
former manager Bobby Valentine and letting his anger get the best of him
several times.

Aceves在上個糟糕賽季的下半季中有些可怕/有娛樂性的事情─跟8BV鬥爭並讓怒氣戰勝自
己。

Plenty of people thought Aceves had done enough to send himself out of town,
but now that Valentine is gone and hope brims anew with the arrival of
manager John Farrell, Aceves has a good chance of keeping a spot on the team.

有些人認為Aceves的所作所為足以讓紅襪把他送出去，不過現在8BV滾蛋了，來的Farrell
讓大家有些新的希望─或許有機會讓Aceves留下來？

Aceves, who earned $1.2 million last season as the part-time closer but who
is versatile enough to be a long-innings reliever or even a starter, still
has support within the organization due to his undeniable talent.

上一季拿$1.2M的Aceves兼差當終結者，但是他是萬用型投手，能當長中繼，甚至是先發
。因為他的才華無可否認，球團內部還是有支持Aceves留下來的聲音。

That starts with Farrell, who has already said he’ll take another look at
the mercurial righty.

先從Farrell講起，他先前公開表示他會重新檢視這位性格多變的右投。

But another key member of the Red Sox, newly re-signed designated hitter and
longtime leader David Ortiz, is also on Aceves’ side when it comes to
finding a place to make the pitcher fit.

另一位紅襪的關鍵人物─剛跟紅襪續約的老爹，講到要創造一個位置讓Aceves融入時，
他是站在Aceves那邊的。

“Alfredo is a good guy,” Ortiz told Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com. “He has
his issues, which I think they should sit down and talk to him about this
offseason.”

老爹：「Aceves是個好傢伙，他的確有他自己的問題點，所以我認為球團在這段期間該和
他坐下來好好談談。」

Ortiz acknowledged that a lot of Aceves’ struggles this season had to do
with personality problems and getting him to mesh on a team that had “25
different minds, 25 different personalities.” While Ortiz didn’t point the
finger at Valentine, Aceves’ inability to recover his fragmented
relationship with the manager certainly contributed to his increasingly
awkward behavior.

老爹承認Aceves上季表現低落有很大的部分是來自於個性問題，他得和「25種想法、25種
人格」囓合。雖然老爹沒有將手指指向8BV，但Aceves和8BV支離破碎的關係絕對是其中一
項因素。

“He’s one of the guys who works hard here. He’s got the best stuff, and
you got to take advantage of that. You have to sit down with him and say, ‘I
’m your boss. This is what you’re going to do for me.’ And I guarantee
you, he’ll do that.”

「他是隊上非常努力的隊員之一，他有最高的才華，所以你應該好好從中汲取好處。你需
要好好跟他坐下來說：『嘿，我是你的老闆，這就是你要為我做的事。』，我跟你保證，
他會去做。」

Farrell is widely considered just the type of manager who will do what Ortiz
is suggesting, with Farrell having handled pitching staffs before. He’s
known for keeping players accountable and helping them understand their roles.

一般認為Farrell是那種會實行老爹所描述的做法的總教練，而且Farrell曾帶過投手群。
他廣為人知的長處是讓球員負責，並讓他們了解他們自己的角色為何。

Edes also contested the perception that Aceves has always had character
issues, which some people have cited as a chief reason the Yankees cut him
loose despite Aceves being increasingly reliable for New York in long relief
situations. Edes said sources told him that Aceves was let go more for injury
concerns than his behavior.

Edes懷疑大家對於「Aceves一直以來都有個性問題」這件事是否為真，因為有些人聲稱
Aceves在洋基表現這麼好，洋基卻輕易放他走─原因就是以上問題。但Edes表示他得到的
消息來源指出洋基對於Aceves傷勢的疑慮多於行為問題。

When Aceves is good, he’s been really good, but he bounced among several
roles last season, with his most petulant moments arising when his job was
adjusted. He was at first upset that he wasn’t chosen as a starter coming
out of spring training before he settled in as the closer and was great for a
long stretch. But then, when friction began with Valentine, and closer Andrew
Bailey returned from the disabled list to take the ball late in some games,
Aceves became rankled once again.

當Aceves很好時，他的表現真的很棒。但他在上一季一直換角色，而他最易怒的時期就是
換工作的時候。最初是春訓搶先發失敗，當上了終結者；後來則是因為和8BV關係不良以及
Andrew Bailey歸隊搶走工作，Aceves再度不爽。

With the Red Sox desperately needing to hang on to the good pitching they
have, Aceves could be a valuable commodity — especially if all the caveats
that kept him from performing well last year have disappeared.

現在紅襪亟需抓住已經擁有的投手人才，而且Aceves可以成為很有價值的球員─尤其是當
去年所有的負面因素都除掉時，他就能好好發揮了。
