Re: [情報] YES 專欄作家 Steven Goldman 狂捧王建民

小弟稍微補充及修改一點點東西...
請teletubbies大大指教:)

WANG IN PLAY

The Yankees continue to trail the majors on turning balls on the field of
play into outs (66 percent). This includes a major-league leading 26 runners
who reached via error. Another way of looking at it is that batters who make
contact and hit anything between the lines and within the fences have reached
base 34 percent of the time.

洋基隊把打進球場裡的球變成出局數的機率依舊在聯盟中落後(只有66%)，有26個跑者因
為失誤而上壘，這個數據領先全聯盟，從另外一個角度看，只要跑者把球打進全壘打牆和
邊線裡，就有34%的機會上壘。

Chien-Ming Wang is allowing just a .261 batting average on balls in play.
This would stand in the top 15 among qualifiers. ESPN.com shows his
defense-independent ERA as 3.38, far better than his actual ERA of 4.06. If
qualified, he would rank fourth in the league in this category. Wang is
actively, willfully defying the Yankees defense.

王建民的被打擊率只有0.261，如果他有資格(投球局數夠)的話他可以排進前十五，ESPN
指出他的XX防禦率（註）是3.38，遠比目前帳目防禦率的4.06好，如果有資格，他將會
排在聯盟的第四位，王建民現在可說是正在挑戰洋基防守的功力。

註：defense-independent ERA指的是如果BABIP等於聯盟平均值時的自責分率，不知
    翻譯...

How is he managing to do this? It's largely thanks to his 2.7
groundball/flyball ratio, which would rank second in the league if he
qualified. The Yankees infield defense has been far superior to the outfield
defense. Though Alex Rodriguez's hands have turned to stone, and none of the
first basemen has earned the right to replace Frank Chance in the "Tinker to
Evers to ___" formulation (or even Steve Balboni in "Meacham to Duncan to
Balboni"), Derek Jeter and the second basemen have been sources of relative
strength all season long. For what it's worth, Cano's .878 zone rating would
rank first among second basemen if qualified.

他是怎麼辦到的?大部分要歸功於他的滾地球/飛球比率(2.7)，局數夠的話在全聯盟排名
第二，洋基內野防守比他們的外野好的多，雖然AROD的防守不似他以往那麼靈活，而且
沒有一個一壘手有資格單負起如同Frank Chance在Tinker(SS)-Evers(2B)-Chance(1B)三
重奏裡一般的角色(註)，甚至比不上Steve Balboni在Meacham-Duncan-Balboni裡的角色
，不過Derek Jeter和二壘手Cano在這一整季仍構成相對較令人放心的防守戰力。Cano
.878的守備出局率（出局數/守備機會）甚至是排名聯盟第一(如果他有資格的話)。

註：Tinker(SS)、Evers(2B)、Chance(1B)三人是1900年代芝加哥小熊隊奪冠時，傳奇的
    內野黃金防線。故後世以『Tinker to Evers to Chance』三重奏稱之。

Wang stays away from the outfield, where none of the gloves are particularly
good. Hideki Matsui is somehow a better center fielder than he is a left
fielder, but that still doesn't make him Jim Edmonds, or even particularly
good. Gary Sheffield has never been the greatest of defenders and he's not
getting any better at 36. Tony Womack has been adequate. Bernie Williams lost
his job over defense. As a group, these players are not quite up to
patrolling the vast greensward of Yankee Stadium, so the hits fall like
raindrops.

王建民最好別讓球被打到外野，那裡沒有任何一個野手的防守是比較好的，松井秀喜不
知道為什麼守CF比LF還好，但是這並不代表他會忽然變成Jim Edmonds或是一個特別好的
防守員，Gary Sheffield從就不是一個好的防守者，以後應該也不會，他已經36歲了，
Tony Womack還可以，Bernie Williams已經不再能防守，整體而言，這些人並不太能在
Yankee Stadium廣大的洋基外野區提供令人放心的防守，也因此外野安打才會這麼頻繁
的出現。

Wang has been better than his record shows because of the poor D, and should
A-Rod ever find out where he left his instincts, we might see even better
pitching out of him. Any talk of sending him to the pen or to the minors on
that fabled day when Jaret Wright returns is patently ridiculous. Because of
the team's reluctance to trust its own prospects, Wang's success has been the
equivalent of Joe Torre's finding $50 on the sidewalk. You put that $50 in
your pocket, you don't throw it back.

王比他的數據顯示的還好因為洋基的防守很爛，如果AROD找回他防守的直覺，我們可能可
以看到他投的更好，任何說等到Jaret Wright回來以後，就會把王丟進bullpen或是送回
minor是明顯可笑的。因為這支隊伍從來不願相信他們自己培養起來的潛力新人，現在王
建民的成功就好像Joe Torre走在人行道發現了$50，你會把那50圓放進口袋，而不是把他
丟回去。（註）

註：（小弟的理解）本來王建民本來就該是洋基自己口袋裡的東西，可是因為洋基近年對
    於新人沒有慢慢等他冒出頭的耐心，所以現在這情況反而像是『在路上撿到寶』，殊
    不知，這個寶其實本來就放在自己口袋。那現在既然都發現這個寶了，豈有把它放手
    的道理...
