[jianoon (推塔天王順子)]

Mike Aviles went from American League rookie of the year candidate in 2008
to the operating table in 2009.

After hitting .325 with 27 doubles and 10 home runs as a rookie, Aviles’
right elbow bothered him early last season.

He played 36 games before going on the disabled list and ended up having
Tommy John surgery.

Mike Aviles08年是美聯新人王的候選人,09年則是上了手術檯
新人年打出了10轟、27支二壘打、以及3成25的打擊率,去年他則受到肩膀傷勢所困擾
他在進到DL動TJ手術之前,只打了36場球

Aviles, however, has progressed enough that he has taken groundballs and
made some throws at second base.

Soon Aviles might be fielding balls at shortstop and making throws.

然而最近,Aviles卻已經開始練習接滾地球,以及在二壘練習傳球
不久之後他就會開始在游擊區做傳接球的練習了

“It could be in next few days.” manager Trey Hillman said.

“He’s getting close. If he continues to progress, it could be sooner
than later. Physically, he’s going good.”

總教練Hillman則說:"大概就在接下來的幾天裡"
"他已經快要準備好了,身體的狀況也越來越進入狀況"

With Aviles out last season, the Royals acquired shortstop Yuniesky
Betancourt in a July trade with the Mariners for two minor league
pitchers.

Betancourt hit .241 with only a .269 on-base percentage in 71 games with
the Royals.

Is it possible for Aviles to be in the infield mix early in the season?

由於Aviles因傷缺陣,皇家在七月與水手的交易案
用兩名小聯盟選手換來了游擊手Yuniesky Betancourt
他在被換到皇家來之後,71場球的打擊表現則是.241/.269
Aviles接下來得設法回到內野先發的陣容裡才行

“When I even think about that, I just go ‘whoa horsey,’” Hillman said.

“I just pull the reins back on that just because of the impact of the
surgery. It’s a big surgery. We’ve got a lot of history of it with other
people, but Mike —really, from the time he was starting to get functional
after the surgery—his goal is to be ahead of schedule and he has been
ahead of schedule.”

Hillman教練說:Mike正在從一項手術中走向恢復正常機能的路上
他的目標是超前復原進度,而他也正在超前進度

Top Candidate To Surprise: RHP Luke Hochevar

required just 80 pitches in a complete-game victory June 12 over the Reds.

He struck out 13 Rangers in a July 25 triumph.

While he has been inconsistent, Hochevar has shown flashes fn why the
Royals picked him first overall in the 2006 draft.

This could be the year he matures into a big winner.

去年6/12面對紅人,曾經以80球寫下CG紀錄的投手
他在7/25面對條子的比賽,單場三振13名打者出局

由於他難以捉摸的特色,皇家在06年第一輪選秀裡,把他給挑進隊裡
今年可能是他得以大放異彩的一年

Top Candidate To Disappoint: DH/OF Jose Guillen

who turns 34 in May, has slowed down considerably in the field and with his
bat speed.

He has said in the past he does not want to DH, but the Royals don’t want
him in right field most days.

The temperamental Guillen’s career is winding down, and it might not be
a pretty ending with the Royals.

3月將滿34歲的Guillen,守備能力正在逐漸下滑,而且揮棒速度也變慢了
他先前曾經說過不想專職DH,但球隊也不打算讓他常駐外野
喜怒無常的Guillen正在走下坡,對他來說,在皇家隊終老,似乎並不是太好的結果

Authority Figures:

Manager Trey Hillman is 140-184 in his first two years with the Royals
after managing five years in Japan.

Hillman’s Royals lost 10 more games in 2009 than 2008, which was not a
good sign.

His unorthodox style sometimes befuddles his players.

Respected hitting coach Kevin Seitzer returns for his second season.

自結束在日本執教的五年生涯後,Hillman前兩季帶領皇家的戰績則是140勝184敗
其中去年球季比前年球季多輸了10場,這其實並不是什麼好現象

他不按牌理出牌的帶隊風格,有時候會使得球員感到困惑
另外找回了Kevin Seitzer擔任打擊教練

NOTES, QUOTES

‧ UT Willie Bloomquist

will be held back early in Cactus League action, manager Trey Hillman
said.

Bloomquist, who had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in October, is
eager to play, according to Hillman, but the team will take a cautious
approach with him.

Hillman教練說,他會在打完仙人掌聯盟的比賽之後歸隊
去年十月,他動了兩膝的關節鏡手術
根據Hillman教練的說法,他很渴望上場打球,但球隊必須看過他的狀況之後才會下決定

‧ RF Jose Guillen

who had back surgery and left ankle surgery late last season, will start
the Royals’ first spring training on March 3, according to manager Trey
Hillman. “He said he’s good to go,” Hillman said.

去年球季後段動了背部及左膝的手術
3/3他將投入春訓,Hillman教練說"他已經準備好要開始訓練了"

‧ OF Mitch Maier

who hit .243 in 127 games last season

去年127場出賽,打擊率2成463

去年9/23被叫上來之後的3場出賽,0勝1敗、自責分率4.05
2/26則和球團達成一年約的協議

None was eligible for arbitration.

上面這三位選手(Maier、Aviles、Lerew)都還不具有薪資仲裁的資格

There are still six players, including 1B Billy Butler and 2B Alberto
Callaspo, who each hit .300 last year, on the 40-man roster who have
yet to agree to terms.

還有包含一壘手Butler、以及去年打出三成打擊率的二壘手Callaspo(在40人名單裡)
在內的六位球員,還沒有與球團達成合約協議

‧ C Vance Wilson

a non-roster invitee, was slowed by lower back spasms but was getting
better.

“He had a smile on his face. We haven’t seen that,” manager Trey
Hillman said.

透過non-roster邀請,前來測試的選手,下背部痙攣的情況慢慢在改善當中
Hillman教練說:"從他臉上的笑容來看,還真看不出他有什麼異狀呢!"

‧ RHP Victor Marte

was restricted in early camp because of a back problem but was progressing.

Marte was a September call-up and made his big-league debut on Sept. 6,
working a scoreless inning against the Angels.

He had an 8.25 ERA in eight starts and walked 12 in 12 innings.

背部出了一點問題,因此目前沒有練球,但狀況有在好轉
去年九月被叫上大聯盟,並且在9/6初登板,那場出戰天使隊的比賽,他沒有失分
他八場先發出賽,12局的投球,自責分率8.25,保送了12位打者

‧ Manager Trey Hillman

on whether OF Jose Guillen will be the primary designated hitter:

“I haven’t pigeon-holed Jose to be strictly the DH. You’ve got
to come in with an idea how it might fall. I’m still open-minded.
We’re all still open-minded. It depends on how his body reacts and
how he’s moving and how that compares to the three other guys we
have in the mix.” LF Scott Podsednik, CF Rick Ankiel and RF David
DeJesus are projected to be the Royals’ outfield starters.

關於Guillen是否專任DH的話題,Hillman教練做了以下說明:
"我不做任何預設,對於這件事我依舊抱持開放的態度在思考,我們都是
 這得看他的身體狀況,以及他和其他三位外野手的活動情形相較之後,我們才做決定"
目前皇家預設的三位先發外野手由左至右依序為:Podsednik、Ankiel、以及DeJesus

‧ LHP Noel Argulles

a 20-year-old Cuban refugee the Royals signed for $6.9 million in January,
has yet to throw off a mound.

But he could get clearance in early March to begin bullpen sessions.

There are no injury issues, but the Royals are taking it slowly with
Argulles, who they said had thrown for 18 straight months.

自古巴叛逃而來的這位20歲左投,在一月份以6.9M簽給了皇家
日前他也已經進行練投,而他也確定可以在三月初開始進行牛棚練投

目前他沒有傳出受傷,但球團已經開始留意他的投球狀況
據傳之前Argulles有連續18個月在投球

By The Numbers: 33-48

—Royals’ record at Kauffman Stadium last year, the worst home record
in the American League and matching the Nationals for the worst home
record in the majors.

去年在Kauffman Stadium的成績,美聯最差
並且與國民並列全大聯盟最爛的主場戰績

Quote To Note:

“I try to stay away from that stuff. Number one, I really don’t have
the time to invest to it. It’s just not my area of focus. I’m not going
to pass judgment on anybody that does it.”

—Royals manager Trey Hillman on whether he would join White Sox manager
  Ozzie Guillen as a tweeter.

ROSTER REPORT

The Royals made only one major trade in the offseason, acquiring 2B Chris
Getz and 3B Josh Fields from the White Sox, and did not add a reliever to
assist a beleaguered bullpen.

OFs Rick Ankiel and Scott Podsednik and C Jason Kendall were the major
free agent signings.

季後皇家只做了一筆交易,從白襪換來二壘手Getz及三壘手Fields
至於球隊最貧乏的後援,並沒有補強

另外也從市場上簽來外野手Ankiel、Podsednik、以及捕手Kendall

Arrivals:

CF Rick Ankiel (free agent from Cardinals)
LF Scott Podsednik (free agent from White Sox)
C Jason Kendall (free agent from Brewers)
2B Chris Getz (trade with White Sox)
3B/OF Josh Fields (trade with White Sox)
OF Brian Anderson (free agent from Red Sox)
LHP Edgar Osuna (Rule 5 draft pick from Braves)

Departures:

C Miguel Olivo (free agent, signed with Rockies)
CF Coco Crisp (free agent, signed with Athletics)
DH/1B Mike Jacobs (non-tendered, signed minor league contract with Mets)
C John Buck (non-tendered, signed with Blue Jays)
INF/OF Mark Teahen (traded to White Sox)
RHP Jamey Wright (free agent, signed minor league contract with Indians)
LHP John Bale (free agent, signed with Japanese team)
LHP Bruce Chen (free agent, unsigned)
RHP Doug Waechter (free agent, unsigned)

Spring Focus:

The Royals will have stiff competition for the final three slots in their
rotation and also need to find setup relievers for the seventh and eighth
innings.

3B Alex Gordon arrived with high expectations, but a hip injury last year
and too many strikeouts have slowed his development.

在後三號先發投手,將會有一波激烈的爭奪
另外球隊也必須找出七、八局的佈局者

三壘手Gordon被寄予厚望,但去年的臀部傷勢、以及偏多的三振,卻使他的發展受限

Projected Rotation:

1. RHP Zack Greinke
2. RHP Gil Meche
3. RHP Luke Hochevar
4. RHP Kyle Davies
5. RHP Brian Bannister

Greinke is the ace, coming off a Cy Young season.

Meche, if healthy, is a dependable No. 2 starter after being the
opening-day starter the previous three years.

After that, it’s anybody’s guess.

Hochevar has shown glints of brilliance and then has a penchant of giving
up a big inning to ruin what would have been a solid start.

Don’t be surprised if RHP Robinson Tejeda, who finished the year strong
as a starter, sneaks into the top five.

去年拿下美聯CYA的Greinke,無疑是今年球隊的主戰王牌
前三年都擔任開幕戰先發的Meche,倘若身體無虞,也會是個可靠的二號先發

在這之後的三個名額,人人有機會
Hochevar已經展露出投球資質,也可望成為一個可靠的先發投手

如果Tejeda順利擠身先發行列,也不用太意外

Projected Bullpen:

RHP Joakim Soria (closer)

RHP Juan Cruz
RHP Kyle Farnsworth
LHP Edgar Osuna
RHP Roman Colon
LHP Bruce Chen
RHP Bryan Bullington

The Royals have one of the best closers around in Soria, but they blew
too many save opportunities in the seventh and eighth innings as
veterans Farnsworth and Cruz were injured and inconsistent.

Farnsworth will be given a chance to start in spring training.

Osuna is a Rule 5 pick projected as a future starter but could be used
more this year as a reliever.

The Royals are sparse on left-handers and Chen, another veteran, could
fill a role there.

Chen and Bullington are signed to minor league contracts but could
break with club.

皇家已經擁有一個頂尖的終結者Soria
但他們由於老方和Kruz受傷、以及表現起伏不定的影響,搞砸了不少贏球機會
Farnsworth有機會在春訓時重新來過

Osuna則是規則5選來,未來預定作為先發的選手,但今年應該還是以中繼為主
皇家牛棚缺乏左投戰力,陳用彩可望補上這個空缺

陳和Bullington都是小聯盟合約簽來的,也可以選擇和球隊拆夥

Projected Lineup:

1. LF Scott Podsednik
2. RF David DeJesus
3. 1B Billy Butler
4. CF Rick Ankiel
5. DH Jose Guillen
6. 3B Alex Gordon
7. SS Yuniesky Betancourt
8. 2B Chris Getz
9. Ｃ Jason Kendall

Manager Trey Hillman will have fun making out different lineups with
this group, and the order is likely to change often.

Ankiel could bat second or fifth.

Butler is by far the best hitter of this nine.

Guillen needs to return to his 2008 form after being slowed by injuries
last year.

Podsednik and Getz offer the Royals some speed, something they lacked
last season.

Hillman將會樂於做這份名單的調動,這份名單也會經常更動
Ankiel可以扛四番,也能打箭頭棒次的二棒
Butler則是這九棒裡最好的一個打者
Guillen需要擺脫去年傷勢的困擾,重拾前年球季的水準
Podsednik、Getz則可以提供球隊去年所欠缺的跑壘速度

Projected Reserves:

INF/OF Willie Bloomquist
C Brayan Pena
3B/OF Josh Fields
OF Mitch Maier
INF Alberto Callaspo

Bloomquist is valuable because he can play anywhere except pitcher or
catcher.

While Callaspo hit .300 last year, his subpar defense could keep him out
of the starting lineup—but the Royals do need offense.

Fields could wrestle the starting third base job away from Gordon.

If not, expect him to get ample at-bats in different positions.

Pena is a good bat off the bench, while Maier can play any of the
outfield spots and is the emergency catcher.

If Callaspo and Fields are on the bench, that gives the Royals two
strong pinch hitters.

Bloomquist最好用的地方在於,他除了投捕以外的其他位置都能守備
Fields也有和Gordan一搏三壘先發的實力,如果他失手,也可望從其他位置獲得大量的打席
Pena則是板凳上的打擊暴徒,而Maier可以兼守外野三個位置、以及在緊要關頭蹲捕
如果Callaspo和Fields能擺在板凳上待命,那麼皇家就有兩支強力打者可以代打

Top Rookies:

LHP Edgar Osuna

a Rule 5 pick from the Braves, was 3-6 with a 4.33 ERA with Class A
Myrtle Beach and 4-4 with a 3.72 ERA with Class AA Mississippi.

For the two stops last season, he walked just 35 in 150 innings.

He does not have overpowering stuff, so pinpoint command is a must.

規則5選秀裡,自勇士隊挑來的左投
去年1A的戰績3勝6敗、自責分率4.33;2A的戰績則是4勝4敗、自責分率3.72
兩個階層的投球,僅僅在150局的投球裡,保送了35位打者
他並沒有過人的資質,所以精準的控球是必備的

RHP Aaron Crow

was a first-round pick last year, and his signing bonus included a spot
on the 40-man big league roster.

Crow, a Topeka, Kan., native, went 13-0 in 15 starts in 2008 as a Missouri
junior.

He was drafted in the first round by the Nationals but did not sign.

He went 3-0 with a 1.06 ERA with the independent league Fort Worth Cats
last spring before the Royals drafted him.

He held out until mid-August, and his only other outings last year were
four starts with the Surprise Rafters in the Arizona Fall League, going
0-2 with a 6.00 ERA.

He could arrive quickly.

去年首輪選進,合約裡加註進入40人名單,可再另外領一筆Bonus
土生土長的Crow,前年在密蘇里聯盟15場的先發出賽,戰績是13勝0敗

在皇家隊選他之前,他在獨盟的戰績則是3勝0敗、自責分率低到只有1.06
在亞利桑那秋聯的四場先發,0勝2敗、自責分率6.00

Medical Watch:

‧ RHP Gil Meche (sore right shoulder)

is expected to be 100 percent when spring training begins.

右肩疼痛
預計將在開訓前恢復到100%

‧ RHP Brian Bannister (sore right shoulder)

is expected to be 100 percent when spring training begins.

一樣是右肩疼痛
也可望在開訓前復原

‧ RHP Kyle Davies (strained right shoulder)

is expected to be 100 percent when spring training begins.

右肩扭傷
也同樣可望在開訓前復原

‧ SS Mike Aviles (Tommy John elbow surgery in July 2009)

will be restricted in throwing when spring training begins.

去年7月動手肘的TJ手術
在開訓後,將會開始進行傳球練習

‧ INF/OF Willie Bloomquist (arthroscopic surgery on both knees in October
                             2009)

will be limited in early spring training games.

去年十月動兩膝關節鏡手術
在春訓初期的比賽中,將不會上場

‧ RF Jose Guillen (back surgery in September 2009, left ankle surgery in
                    September 2009)

was at full strength at the start of spring training.

去年九月分別動了背部及左膝的手術
在春訓前已經將肌力強化至受傷前狀態

‧ RHP Roman Colon (arthroscopic right knee surgery in October 2009)

is expected to be fully healed by the time spring training opens.

去年十月動了右膝關節鏡手術
開訓前傷勢可望痊癒

‧ 2B Chris Getz (sports hernia surgery in October 2009)

is ready for spring training after a six-week rehab.

去年十月動了運動型疝氣手術
在六週的復健之後,將準備投入春訓課程

‧ RHP Zack Greinke (dental problem)

missed his Feb. 17 bullpen session, but he wasn’t expected to be
sidelined long.

牙齒疾病
跳過了2/17的例行練投,但他並不會缺席太久
