It’s shaping up to be a drama-less spring for the Phillies.

對費城人來說，今年冬天滿沒梗的

After winning back-to-back National League pennants and retaining the core of
their roster, few jobs will be up for grabs when the Phillies begin working
out at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla. Every position in the starting
lineup and each spot on the bench already has been filled.

在連拿兩次國聯冠軍且大部分主力都在陣中的情況下，球團沒什麼事情可以做。而費城人
們也差不多準備開始春訓了，先發打線和替補的位置都已經填滿了

If not for injuries, the Phillies wouldn’t have any decisions at all.

要不是有人受傷，球團真的沒什麼好忙的

Throughout the spring, questions will linger about the opening-day readiness
of closer Brad Lidge lefty reliever J.C. Romeroand left-hander Jamie
Moyereach of whom underwent surgery (more than one surgery, in some cases)
during the offseason. If they’re not going to be available by the start of
the season, it will open opportunities for several in-house candidates,
including relievers Antonio Bastardo and Scott Mathieson and fifth-starter
option Kyle Kendrick.

在今年春，問題慢慢出現，包括Brad Lidge、J.C. Romero、Jamie Moyer都受了傷，如果
他們沒辦法趕上開季的話，對牛棚投手Antonio Bastardo and Scott Mathieson和五號的
可能選擇之一的Kyle Kendrick來說，就會是個機會了

“If we knew that J.C. and Brad and Jamie were going to be 100 percent, that
would be my druthers right out of the chute,” general manager Ruben Amaro
Jr. said. “So, obviously, I wish our health was a little bit better.”

GM Ruben Amaro Jr.說，如果我知道他們能夠在開季百分百復原的話，That would be
my druthers right out of the chute(意思是說我就不用在提心吊膽了嗎？)，所以很明
顯的，我希望他們的健康都已經有改善

Otherwise, everything figures to run smoothly in Clearwater, Fla.

除此之外，在春訓基地裡其他事情都很順利

New ace pitcher Roy Halladayand new third baseman Placido Polancowere the
biggest offseason additions. But the Phillies also overhauled their bench and
made changes to the bullpen, two areas that were weaknesses down the stretch
and in the playoffs last season.

新王牌Roy Halladay和三壘手Placido Polanco是季外最大的變化，但球團也強化了牛棚
和板凳這兩個去年季後賽的兩大弱點。

Gone are pinch hitter Matt Stairs utility infielder Eric Bruntlettand backup
catcher Paul Bako replaced by Ross Gload Juan Castroand Brian Schneider
respectively. Veteran right-handers Danys Baez and Jose Contreraswere added
to the bullpen, filling the voids left by Chan Ho Parkand Brett Myers.

這段就在說明誰走誰來，就不翻囉

And if Lidge, Romero and Moyer are healthy, the Phillies will have only one
job opening—the final spot in the bullpen. Bastardo, a left-hander who had a
strong season in the Dominican winter league, is a leading candidate to claim
the job with a good spring. But he’ll have competition from fellow lefties
Sergio Escalonaand Mike Zagurski and right-handers Mathieson and David
Herndon, who was selected by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft.

如果Lidge, Romero and Moyer都是健康的，那費城人今年就只剩下牛棚還有一個位置。
在這位置領先的是左投手Bastardo，他在多明尼加的冬季聯盟有相當不錯的表現。和他競
爭的有Sergio Escalona、 Mike Zagurski 、Mathieson以及從規則五選秀中選來的
David Herndon

“We looked to try to improve in a couple different areas,” Amaro said. “I
think we added some depth in our bench, a quality top-of-the-rotation starter
(Halladay). Overall, I think our club, if I look at it on paper, I think our
club is as good as it was last year. And, hopefully, it’ll play better.”

GM Amaro說，我們今年在不同方面都有改進，增加了板凳深度還拿到了一張王牌，至少就
數字上來看，我們總體來說跟去年一樣好，如果幸運的話，說不定會打更好

WHERE: Bright House Field, Clearwater, Fla. The Phillies have trained in
Clearwater since 1948, although this is just their seventh year at Bright
House Field. The ballpark’s must-see feature: a thatched-roof Tiki bar
beyond the left field fence.
Top Candidate To Surprise:   RHP Kyle Kendrick spent most of last season in
the minors after winning 21 games in 2007-08, but the Phillies saw
improvement in his secondary pitches after he was recalled last September.
Now, Kendrick has a chance to return to the rotation by winning the fifth
starting job.

最有可能驚喜的球員：Kyle Kendrick

即使在07到08年間他一共拿了21勝，Kyle Kendrick去年還是窩了一整年的小聯盟。但球
團在他九月末上來的第二次投球裡，看到了他的進步，現在他或許有機會拿到輪值中的五
號這個位置

Top Candidate To Disappoint:   LHP Jamie Moyer had three surgeries in four
months during the offseason, and although he’s hopeful of being ready to
make his first regular-season start, the Phillies are taking a more
conservative approach. At age 47, Moyer is the oldest player in the majors.
How will he bounce back after the injuries?

最有可能讓人失望的球員：Jamie Moyer在過去四個月動了3次手術，雖然他開季應該可以
正常先發，但保險起見球團已經開始有其他規劃，47歲的他已經是聯盟最老的選手了，你
還能期望傷後會有多少的反彈？

Authority Figures:   Charlie Manuel has emerged as one of the most successful
managers in Phillies history. Only Manuel (2007-09) and Danny Ozark (1976-78)
have led the franchise to three consecutive division crowns. Manuel, 66, has
a 447-363 record in five seasons for the fifth-best winning percentage (.552)
in Phillies history. Manuel’s coaching staff, including pitching coach Rich
Dubee and hitting coach Milt Thompson, remains intact from 2009.

Charlie Manuel已經成為隊史上最成功的教頭其中之一了，在這之中只有07到09的Manuel
和76到78的Ozark曾連拿三座分區冠軍，66歲的Manuel在過去五個球季繳出了447-363、五
成五二的勝率，而新的球季，他的板凳教練Rich Dubee和打擊教練Milt Thompson都還會
繼續待在隊上

NOTES, QUOTES

—lhp Jamie Moyer underwent three surgeries in the past 4 1/2 months, an
offseason medical drama from which pitchers half his age may be slow to
recover. But Moyer, 47, believes he can be ready to make his first
regular-season start.

跟前面講的差不多，大概就是老磨牙到底還行不行呢？

“I’m kind of in a gray area because I’ve never been in this type of
situation before, but I feel comfortable with where I am right now,” Moyer
told the Wilmington (Del.) News Journal. “My biggest goal is to stay away
from any major setbacks. If I do have a setback, then we’ll deal with it.
But I have to use my eyes and ears and let my body tell me what to do.”

老磨牙對記者表示，我已經一把年紀了，而現在這種又老又傷的狀態是以前沒有過的，但
我現在自我感覺還是滿不錯的，我今年最大的目標就是避免傷勢復發，而如果不幸復發的
話，我會自我了斷的

In October, Moyer had surgery to repair two torn tendons in his groin. He
twice was hospitalized for blood infections related to the surgery, and in
November, he underwent a minor procedure to remove an abscess in his groin.
Last month, he had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Moyer has resumed
throwing off flat ground and said he expects to throw from a mound early in
spring training.

去年十月，他動了鼠蹊部的肌腱手術，還因為術後感染兩度送醫，而在十一月，他又動了
一個割除鼠蹊部膿瘡的小手術，上個月在右膝又動了一個關節鏡手術。老磨牙已經開始訓
練並期望能出席春訓

‧ LHP J.C. Romero appeared in 51 of the final 82 regular-season games after
joining the Phillies in 2007. In 2008, he matched his career-high with 81
appearances, fifth most in the NL. So, Romero was missed last season when a
50-game suspension and a midseason elbow injury limited him to 21 games and
forced him to undergo surgery on a flexor tendon in October. But at least the
Phillies still were able to lean on Scott Eyre to face the NL’s top
left-handed hitters in the late innings. Eyre retired this winter, leaving
Romero as the Phillies’ lone veteran lefty reliever. Romero resumed throwing
Jan. 17, according to GM Ruben Amaro Jr., but he’ll be closely monitored in
spring training. If they can’t rely on Romero, the Phillies may be shopping
for another lefty.

J.C. Romero在2007年最後82場出賽了51場，而在08年又出賽了生涯新高、國聯第五的81
場，所以J.C. Romero在上一季終於仆街了，並在十月動了手術，還好隊上還有Scott
Eyre可以依靠，來面對國聯一些頂級的左打者，但他今年冬天退休了，所以現在就只能看
Romero了，在一月中已經開始練投，GM Ruben Amaro Jr.也說到他們今年春訓會好好觀察
，如果他不行了，球團會再去找牛棚的左投

‧ SS Jimmy Rollins will be the Phillies’ leadoff hitter on opening day in
Washington, but Rollins must exhibit more consistency this season from the
top spot in the lineup. Last year, Rollins’ .296 on-base percentage was the
worst of his career and the lowest in the majors among leadoff hitters with
at least 350 at-bats. He also saw the fewest pitches (2,580) of any leadoff
man. Of course, Rollins also brings unique power to the leadoff spot. Last
season, he had the third-most homers and second-most RBIs among leadoff men.
And over the past six seasons in the NL, only Albert Pujols has scored more
runs (704) than Rollins (676).

游擊手Jimmy Rollins今年還是費城人的第一棒，但身為第一棒，他的棒子要更黏才行，
上個球季他.296的上壘率是生涯最糟糕的一次，同時在打滿350個打數的第一棒中，他是
最爛的一個，他同時也是第一棒中整季下來消耗最少球數的(2580)，當然他還是很有長打
威力的，上一季，他是第一棒中全壘打第三多、打點第二多的，而在過去六個球季他一共
得了676分，只輸給704分的普神而已

‧ LHP J.A. Happ went 12-4 with a 2.93 ERA and finished second in the NL
Rookie of the Year voting last season. But many statistical analysts who
study advanced pitching metrics remain unconvinced that Happ is more than a
back-of-the-rotation starter on a contending team. To wit: Bill James, the
noted statistical analyst who coined the term “sabermetrics,” has projected
that Happ will go 10-11 with a 4.31 ERA in 188 innings. But although that
would represent a drop-off from his rookie-year success, it would remain an
acceptable performance for a No. 4 starter in a good rotation.

J.A. Happ去年投出了12勝4敗，防禦率2.93的成績，並在新人王票選拿到第二名，但許多
專攻投球機制的專家仍然對他打問號，認為他在一支有競爭力的球隊裡，只能當後段先發
而已，Bill James認為他今年成績大概是10勝11敗，在188局中繳出4.31的防禦率，雖然
跟去年相比下滑很多，但這樣還是可以當一個不錯的4號

By The Numbers:   .296—SS Jimmy Rollins’ on-base percentage last season,
lowest among all regular leadoff hitters in the majors.

.296，Jimmy Rollins去年的上壘率，聯盟第一棒中最差的

Quote To Note:   “Because my age is in front of my name, and because that’s
all some people talk about—‘He’s not supposed to be doing this’—that
kind of fuels the fire. Not to be disrespectful to people, but I want to show
you that I can.”—LHP Jamie Moyer, the oldest player in the majors (47), on
whether he can come back from a surgery-filled offseason.

老磨牙表示，我知道大家在想到我前總會先想到我的年紀，有些人一直在說我做不到的，
我並不會對他們生氣，但我只想用我的表現來告訴你，我可以！

ROSTER REPORT
After reaching back-to-back World Series, the Phillies changed ace starting
pitchers, signed a new third baseman and made changes to the bullpen and the
bench. Despite the many moves, they believe they have the roster to become
the first team to win three straight NL pennants since the 1942-44 Cardinals.

在連兩年參加世界大賽後，費城人換了他們的Ace，並簽下新的三壘手，還在板凳及牛棚
做了些更動，他們有信心可以成為繼1942-44的紅鳥後，第一支國聯三連霸的球隊

Arrivals:   RHP Roy Halladay (trade with Blue Jays), 3B Placido Polanco (free
agent from Tigers), 1B/OF Ross Gload (free agent from Marlins), C Brian
Schneider (free agent from Mets), INF Juan Castro (free agent from Dodgers),
RHP Danys Baez (free agent from Orioles), RHP Jose Contreras (free agent from
Rockies), OF Dewayne Wise(notes) (minor league free agent from White Sox),
RHP David Herndon (Rule 5 draft pick from Angels).
Departures:   3B Pedro Feliz(notes) (free agent, signed with Astros), LHP
Cliff Lee(notes) (traded to Mariners), INF Eric Bruntlett (free agent, signed
minor league deal with Nationals), LHP Scott Eyre (retired), RHP Brett Myers
(free agent, signed with Astros), OF Matt Stairs (free agent, signed minor
league deal with Padres), RHP Tyler Walker(notes) (released, signed with
Nationals), INF Miguel Cairo(notes) (free agent, signed minor league deal
with Reds), RHP Clay Condrey(notes) (non-tendered, signed with Twins), RHP
Pedro Martinez(notes) (free agent, unsigned), RHP Chan Ho Park (free agent,
unsigned), C Paul Bako (free agent, unsigned).
Spring Focus:   With few roster spots up for grabs, the Phillies’ biggest
questions will involve health. Their closer (Brad Lidge), primary lefty
reliever (J.C. Romero) and likely No. 5 starter (Jamie Moyer) are recovering
from offseason surgeries, and their opening-day availability remains
uncertain. If they can’t start the season, it will create jobs for several
other in-house candidates.

春訓焦點：就是祝大家身體健康

Projected Rotation:
1. RHP Roy Halladay
2. LHP Cole Hamels
3. RHP Joe Blanton
4. LHP J.A. Happ
5. LHP Jamie Moyer or RHP Kyle Kendrick
Over the past eight years, Halladay leads the majors in wins, complete games
and shutouts. The Phillies can’t wait to see what he does in the NL. Blanton
and Happ, who finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting, fill in
the middle of the rotation, and assuming he’s healthy, Moyer is the favorite
to be the No. 5 starter.

過去八年內，Halladay在勝投、完投、完封都領先全聯盟，球團已經迫不及待看他今年的
表現了，Blanton and Happ會擔任3和4號，如果身體健康的話，老磨牙還是最理想的5號

But no Phillies pitcher has as much to prove as Hamels, the 2008 World Series
MVP who struggled last season. Hamels will be working in spring training to
refine his curveball and possibly develop a slider to augment his
fastball-changeup combination.

但沒有一位投手像Hamels這位2008年的世界大賽MVP一樣這麼需要證明自己了，在今年春
訓，他會多練自己的曲球，並嘗試多練一顆滑球來提升自己直球、變速球的威力。

Projected Bullpen:
RHP Brad Lidge (closer)
RHP Ryan Madson
LHP J.C. Romero
RHP Danys Baez
RHP Jose Contreras
RHP Chad Durbin
LHP Antonio Bastardo
Lidge had elbow surgery in November and arthroscopic knee surgery in January.
His availability for opening day will determine if the rest of the bullpen
can fall in line. Madson, the primary setup man, is next in line to close
games, if necessary. Baez, a former closer with Tampa Bay, also could pitch
the ninth inning.

去年11月Lidge動了手肘的手術並在1月又動了膝蓋的關節鏡手術，他是否趕得上開季決定
於其他牛棚投手頂不頂得住，Madson是最有望關門的新人選，而如果需要的話，在光芒有
關門經驗的Baez也可以頂一下

As the lone experienced lefty reliever, Romero’s status is equally critical.
He had elbow surgery in October and is expected to be ready by or shortly
after the season opener. Bastardo, fellow lefties Sergio Escalona and Mike
Zagurski and RHP Scott Mathieson are in-house candidates for the final
bullpen spot.

身為牛棚裡唯一的左投，Romero的狀況還滿重要的，他在去年10月動了手肘的手術後，被
期望應該能在開季或是開季晚一點就能上場，Bastardo、Sergio Escalona and Mike
Zagurski and RHP Scott Mathieson都是可能進入牛棚最後一個位置的人選

Projected Lineup:
1. SS Jimmy Rollins
2. 3B Placido Polanco
3. 2B Chase Utley
4. 1B Ryan Howard
5. RF Jayson Werth
6. LF Raul Ibanez
7. CF Shane Victorino
8. C Carlos Ruiz
After leading the NL in runs scored last season, the Phillies made only one
lineup change, signing Polanco to play third base and bat second. Polanco’s
ability to make consistent contact could bring an added dimension to an
offense known more for its power-hitting ability.

頂著去年國聯最會得分的光環，費城人今年在打線上只有一點小改變，那就是把Polanco
叫來守三壘並打第二棒，而他也可以靠他棒子的黏功，為後面遠近馳名的重砲們製造機會

Werth, who had a breakout season with 36 homers and 99 RBIs, remains a
critical piece in the middle of the lineup because he’s right-handed. Utley,
Howard and Ibanez are all left-handed hitters. Victorino, the No. 2 hitter
last season, will bring speed to the lower half of the lineup.

去年大爆發打出36轟、99RBI的Werth，會是左打眾多的打線中稀有且重要的一塊，而去年
的第二棒Victorino會在末段棒次中帶來速度的壓迫力。

Projected Reserves:
C Brian Schneider
OF Ben Francisco
INF Greg Dobbs
1B/OF Ross Gload
INF Juan Castro
After getting little production from their bench last year, Schneider, Gload
and Castro were added to give manager Charlie Manuel more options. Castro is
known for his defense, while Gload led the majors in pinch-hitting last
season.

在去年疲弱的板凳後，Schneider, Gload and Castro的到來會給教練更多的選擇，
Castro以守備著稱，而Gload去年在代打的表現領先全聯盟

Francisco, acquired with LHP Cliff Lee from Cleveland in July, is the primary
right-handed hitter off the bench. Dobbs, who ranks fifth in franchise
history with 45 pinch hits, will seek a return to form after batting .167 as
a pinch hitter last season.

而從小李飛刀交易案一起拿到的Francisco，會是板凳中最重要的右打者，靠著代打敲出
45支安打，在隊史排名第五的Dobbs則要證明去年.167的代打成功率只是偶然而已

Top Rookies:   LHP Antonio Bastardo pitched well in the Dominican winter
league and will have a chance to win a spot in a righty-dominant bullpen if
he demonstrates improved breaking pitches. RHP Scott Mathieson broke into the
majors in 2006 but has undergone two elbow ligament replacement (Tommy John)
surgeries in the past three years. After a long recovery, he could be the
feel-good story of camp if he wins a spot in the bullpen.

左投手Antonio Bastardo在多明尼加的冬季聯盟投的不錯，如果他繼續進步的話，可以在
牛棚裡拿到一個位置，而右投手Scott Mathieson在2006年上來過，但隨即在過去3年內開
了兩次Tommy John，在漫長的復原期後，如果他今年能在牛棚贏得一個位置，那就會是今
年春訓中一個最動人的故事。

Medical Watch:
‧ RHP Brad Lidge (right elbow surgery in November 2009, right knee surgery
in January 2010) might not be ready for the start of the regular season.
‧ LHP Jamie Moyer (groin/abdominal surgery in October 2009, arthroscopic
left knee surgery in January 2010) is unlikely to be ready for the start of
the season, but there’s a chance he could join the rotation in late April.
‧ LHP J.C. Romero (elbow surgery in October 2009) may not be ready for the
start of the regular season.
‧ LF Raul Ibanez (sports hernia surgery in November 2009) is expected to be
ready for spring training

1.Lidge可能趕不上開季
2.老磨牙應該也趕不上開季，但在4月底應該就可以回來了
3.J.C. Romero也可能趕不上開季
4.Raul Ibanez應該可以參加春訓
