What the New York Yankees Should Do by Joe Pawlikowski - July 22, 2010
Overview
The Yankees are currently 59-34, leading the AL East by 2.5 games. They have
either been tied for the lead or held it since June 13, but that doesn’t
mean that they lack weaknesses. In the rough and tumble AL East a couple of
flaws can set a team a long way back.
紐約洋基隊現在的成績是59-34，在美聯東區領先2.5場勝差。自從六月13號之後就不曾
被追平或超前戰績過，但這並不代表他們沒有弱點。在場場艱難的美東，儘管是一些小
漏洞都可能在之後對隊伍產生影響。
Buy or Sell
While the Yankees might be vulnerable in some aspects, they’re pretty solid
in terms of regulars. The team ranks second in the league in wOBA, and doesn’
t have a position that would require an upgrade. They also have five
solid-to-excellent starters and an elite closer. This leaves few areas for
improvement.
儘管在某些地方可能有點脆弱，洋基的先發群陣容非常的穩固。他們在wOBA名列聯盟第二
，而且沒有哪一個位置是需要特別去補強的。他們也擁有五個介於穩跟傑出的先發投手，
和一個優異的終結者。這使得能進步的地方並不多。
The one semi-regular spot the Yanks could see fit to augment is center field,
where Curtis Granderson has continued to falter against left-handed pitchers,
producing a .250 wOBA in 97 PA against them. The Yankees do want to get him
straightened out against lefties, but for this year a platoon partner will
help further their championship goals. A versatile RHB outfielder like Cody
Ross, who can take a corner while Brett Gardner slides into center, might
help when facing lefties.
一個可能算的上是需要補強的地方是中外野，Granderson持續不斷在面對左投時吃鱉，
在97個PA繳出.250 wOBA的成績。洋基當然想要讓他對左打打得好一點，但是在今年來
說，找一個platoon左投的傢伙會對再拿下一座冠軍比較有幫助。一個多功能的右打外
野手像是Cody Ross可以在面對左投時有幫助，他可以在Gardner移去中外野的時候來守
角落外野。
An upgrade at utility infielder could also be on the shopping list, since
Ramiro Pena continues to be one of the lightest hitting in the business. He
can pick it like anyone, as the Yankees commentators are fond of saying, but
he produces almost nothing at the plate. At this time last year the Yankees
acquired Jerry Hairston from the Reds, and they could see a similar player at
the deadline this year.
內野工具人的升級也應該是購物清單裡頭的一項，因為Ramiro Pena持續無法在打擊上
做出任何貢獻。他可以像其他任何球員一樣防守，但就像球評愛說的，他在打擊區的
能做到的幾乎是零。去年的這個時候洋基從紅人找來了Jerry Hairston，而今年大概
也會看到一個差不多的人在交易大限前出現。
In the first half the Yankees’ bullpen represented one of its weakest
points. Outside of Mariano Rivera almost every reliever performed below
expectations. While the team maintains faith in Joba Chamberlain as the
primary setup man, that might need to change. Whether that means moving David
Robertson into a more prominent role or bringing in someone from outside the
organization, the relief corps figures to see a few changes in the next week
and a half. The relief options are slim, of course, and most contenders could
use a bullpen upgrade, so we might not see movement on this front. But it won
’t be for a lack of trying.
在球季前半，牛棚似乎是洋基其中一個弱點。除了Mariano Rivera以外幾乎每一個後援
投手表現都不如預期。但是球隊持續相信Joba Chamberlain能夠做為一個主要的setup，
這一點可能需要做些改變。不論是指說把David Robertson移去更重要的位置或是從球團
外頭找外援都可以，但在球季後半的這幾個禮拜，救援群的成績有了改變。當然救援投手
的使用是很細微的決定，而大多數的競爭隊伍都會選擇去升級牛棚，所以我們也可能在
這方面看到甚麼動作。甚麼都不做是不太好的。
The one other area the Yankees could upgrade is in the starting rotation. The
Yanks like what they have for the most part, but they do have a few issues.
Andy Pettitte is currently on the DL, and estimates for his return vary
depending on whom you ask. Even if he is out for only another three weeks,
the Yankees could still use another starter to supplement the rotation. Not
only could they find someone better than Sergio Mitre to replace Pettitte,
but after Pettitte’s return they could use the extra starter to help ease
Phil Hughes‘s workload. The 24-year-old hasn’t pitched more than 111
innings since 2006. He is currently at 106.
另外一個洋基可能補強的地方是先發輪值的部分。對於這個輪值大部分的地方都還讓人滿
意，但他們的確有些問題在裡面。Andy Pettitte現在待在DL，而預定的歸期視你問誰而定
。就算他只缺陣3個星期，洋基還是得使用另一位先發來填補這個輪值。
這不僅僅是為了找一個比Sergio Mitre好的先發來取代Pettitte，也是當Pettitte回來之
後能夠去減輕Hughes工作量的投手。這個24歲的小將從2006年之後就不曾投超過111局。
而他現在已經投了106局。
On the Farm
The Yanks have already tried to use their best minor league player, Jesus
Montero, in a deal for Cliff Lee. That has fallen through, and GM Brian
Cashman has said that there are no other options on the trade market that
would tempt him to trade his 20-year-old AAA catcher.
洋基已經嘗試過用他們最好的小聯盟新秀，Jesus Montero去交易Cliff Lee。當然後來失
敗了，而據總管Brian Cashman表示，在現在的交易市場上沒有任何其他選項是能夠讓他
捨得交易掉他們這位3A的20歲捕手。
After Montero the team’s best prospect is fellow catcher Austin Romine, but
since the Yankees think he’s more likely to stick behind the plate they
could be reluctant to trade him. They also have a number of arms with decent
upsides, but few would bring back a big name in return. That works for the
Yankees, since they’re not looking for a major player.
在Montero之後，洋基農場的最佳新秀是同是捕手的Austin Romine，但洋基認為他更有可
能未來能勝任捕手的職務而不願意去交易他。他們也還有一些有不錯upside的年輕手臂，
但很少是能夠交易來大物的。這反而對洋基是ok的，反正他們也沒有要找來先發等級的傢
伙。
For the most part, the farm will be used to help supplement the bench and the
bullpen in August.
總的來說，這個農場大概會被用來加強板凳替補深度跟八月之後的牛棚。
Budget
Most observers don’t think that the Yankees have a real budget, even though
they worked with the constraints of one this winter. Even last summer they
had a chance to add payroll and declined. Cashman had worked out a deal for
Mike Cameron, but Hal Steinbrenner nixed it because of the payroll the team
would absorb. With a smaller base payroll for the 2010 season perhaps they’d
be more open to adding salary. But, again, given the players they seek it
shouldn’t be much of an issue.
大部分看球的都不覺得洋基真的有個"預算"在那裡，儘管他們上個冬天才在跟薪資總額奮
戰。就連去年夏天他們本來有機會增加薪資總額，但後來被否決掉了。
Cashman本來已經搞定了盤來Mike Cameron的交易，但Hal Steinbrenner因為球隊的薪資總
額要縮水而打了回票。也許因為2010稍微降低的薪資總額，洋基今年會比較願意去增加薪
水。但再說一次，對洋基來說，要找來他們想要的球員應該不是甚麼問題。
