Re: [新聞] Mussina a surprise omission

[Jason11982 (為了那一天的到來)]

※ 引述《YANKS (oh my yankees !!)》之銘言：
: CLEVELAND -- After the week Alex Rodriguez had, hitting a walkoff home run
: Wednesday against the Braves and belting a pair of long balls while driving
: in seven runs against the Mets on Sunday, I'm going to go with an A-Rod-free
: mailbag this week.
CLEVELAND -- 在A-Rod星期三對勇士擊出再見全壘打、星期日又對大都會包辦七分打點
之後，本週的mailbag我應該不會再提A-Rod。

: The last edition of the mailbag elicited hundreds of responses, and I thank
: you all for your e-mails. But there are other topics to cover this week, so
: let's get to them.
上一次的mailbag引起了眾多的回應，我在此感謝大家的e-mail。但這週還有其他的話題
可以聊，就讓我們開始吧。

: I was very surprised not to see Mike Mussina on the All-Star roster. A 9-3
: record, 104 strikeouts, a 3.17 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP? I know he doesn't have
: double digits in the win column, but aren't those stats All-Star worthy?
: -- Tom K., Seattle, Wash.
我非常驚訝沒在明星賽名單中看到Mike Mussina。他可是個9勝3負、104次三振，3.17 ERA
和 1.04 WHIP的投手呢！我知道他的勝場並沒達到十位數，但是這還不夠格上明星賽嗎？
-- Tom K., Seattle, Wash

: Yes, Tom, those stats are certainly All-Star worthy. But I can't really go
: crazy about Mussina missing out on the All-Star Game when other pitchers such
: as Francisco Liriano, Curt Schilling, Justin Verlander and Kevin Millwood
: were also left off the roster.
沒錯，Tom，這當然夠格上明星賽。但我對於Mussina錯過明星賽並不會發狂，因為其他的
投手像Francisco Liriano、Curt Schilling、Justin Verlander 和 Kevin Millwood，
同樣的也沒入選。

: The biggest problem with the All-Star rosters is that they're simply not big
: enough. With each team having to be represented, sometimes less-deserving
: players are named to the team to make that happen. Of course, if they were to
: expand the rosters to 35 or 40, then the extra players would likely not play,
: anyway.
明星賽名單的最大問題就是不夠大。為了要讓每一隊都有代表出線，有時候即使不相稱的
球員也會因此而加入名單中。當然，假使他們將名單擴展到35或40人，那多出來的球員大
概也不想打了。

: There is no perfect system. Part of the fun of the All-Star selections for me
: is bickering with other folks about who should or shouldn't have made it. I
: would have included Mussina over Mark Buehrle (and Jason Giambi over Paul
: Konerko), but Ozzie Guillen earned the right to choose his own players by
: winning the World Series last year. Joe Torre certainly exercised that right
: enough times, so why not?
完美的系統並不存在。對我來說，明星賽該選誰的一部份樂趣在於和其他人爭論到底應該
由誰來選。我會選入Mussina取代Mark Buehrle(還有Jason Giambi而不是Paul Konerko)，
但是Ozzie Guillen藉著拿下去年的世界大賽冠軍，而有權利選擇他自己的球員。Joe
Torre也幹過這種事很多次，有什麼不對呢？

: With the trade deadline coming up, what areas do you think the Yankees will
: make efforts to improve upon the most?
: -- Thomas H., Frederick, Md.
交易截止日期快到了，你覺得洋基會在哪一部份花力氣以求最大的改善？

: I would imagine that finding another corner outfielder and another starting
: pitcher would be the two top priorities. Melky Cabrera has done a fine job in
: left field, but if the Yanks can land a veteran outfielder to play right --
: or at least share the job with Bernie Williams -- for the right price, I
: think they'll do it.
我認為，再找一位外野手和一位先發投手將會是兩大優先。Melky Cabrera已經在左外野幹
得不錯，但如果洋基能弄到一個能守右外野的老手--或至少減輕Bernie Williams一些負擔
--對於右邊的價值來說，我想洋基是會這樣做的。
(譯者按：我覺得他應該是想說拉Bernie Williams一把吧，老Bernie根本是右外野的
 Michael Jackson啊....)

: With Jaret Wright and Shawn Chacon struggling to find consistency, a deal for
: a fourth or fifth starter wouldn't surprise me, either. The bullpen should
: get a boost later this month when Octavio Dotel returns, so I don't think
: that's as much of an issue.
Jaret Wright 和 Shawn Chacon還在努力想要找回穩定，若有四號或五號投手的交易並不
會讓我感到驚訝。當Octavio Dotel於本月歸隊後，應該對bullpen有所助益，所以我覺得
這不會是重點之一。(應該是指增強牛棚戰力這件事不會是重點)

: Do you think the Yankees will trade Philip Hughes before the trading
: deadline? I hope not, because he's been lighting it up all season and I think
: the best thing the Yankees could do is build for the future with youth, not
: aging veterans. Knowing the Yankees' past, I'm sure I'll be disappointed when
: he's sent packing and I see him in a few years dominating in the pros.
: -- Chris K., Point Pleasant, N.J.
你認為在交易截止前，洋基會把Philip Hughes交易出去嗎？我希望不會。因為他整季都表
現的很好；洋基能做的最好的事是用新秀建立未來，而不是有年紀的老手。從洋基過去來
看，若他被送走我會很失望，而且我看他已經主宰新秀好幾年了。

: Chris, I think the Yankees will do everything they can to hold on to Hughes,
: who they see as a mainstay in their rotation for years to come.
Chris，我認為洋基會盡全力留住Hughes的，他們認為他是未來幾年輪值的要角之一。

: Yes, they have traded several prospects in recent years, but seeing Brian
: Cashman hold on to Chien-Ming Wang and Robinson Cano last year, I think he is
: serious about keeping some of the organization's young talent and doing
: exactly what you want them to do, which is building for the future.
是的，他們的確在過去幾年交易掉了幾名新秀，但是看看Brian Cashman去年留下了王建民
和Robinson Cano，他有認真地想把年輕有才能的人留下來，正如你希望他們所做的一樣；
建立一隻有未來的球隊。

: Cashman has said that nobody is untouchable, including Hughes, but it would
: take an overwhelming offer to pry the right-hander from the Yankees, and I
: don't see that happening.
Cashman說不會有任何人不在考慮之列，包括Hughes；但那將要以極大的好處才弄得到這位
右投手，我不認為這種事會發生。

: With the Yankees slipping, isn't it about time we give our rookies like
: Hughes and Eric Duncan a chance?
: -- Eli G., Edina, Minn.
目前洋基跌跌撞撞地，是不是該給一些菜鳥像是Hughes 和 Eric Duncan一個機會？

: I don't think either of those two players are anywhere close to being ready
: for the Majors just yet. Hughes started the season in Class A ball and has
: been at Double-A for just a couple of months, while Duncan struggled at
: Triple-A and was demoted back to Double-A, where he has been hitting well.
: Both of these guys are still very young. To rush them to the Majors, where
: they would likely be overmatched, could damage their confidence. Let the
: Yankees bring them along slowly, so that when they finally do make it to the
: Bronx, they stay there.
我不認為他們之中有誰已經準備好要上大聯盟。Hughes本季在Class A ball、從2A出發不
過一兩個月；Duncan在3A掙扎後被召回2A，那是他打的不錯的地方。他們都還很年輕。將
他們逼上大聯盟，可能會因為實力懸殊而打擊他們的信心。讓洋基慢慢的帶他們，當他們
最後出現在Bronx時，就下不來了。(Bronx是洋基主場嗎)

: I can't believe I'm asking this, but is Carl Pavano coming back or is he done
: for the season? Also, any word on the progress of Hideki Matsui or Gary
: Sheffield?
: -- Ed S., Pelham, N.Y.
我不敢相信我竟然會問這個，但是Carl Pavano會在本季回來嗎？另外，松井秀喜和Gary
Sheffield有什麼進展嗎？
-- Ed S., Pelham, N.Y.

: Pavano has resumed throwing, as he works his way back from his May surgery to
: remove a bone chip from his elbow. He is scheduled to get up on a mound for
: the first time since the surgery later this week or early next week, and the
: Yankees still say he could return from the disabled list by mid-August.
: As for Matsui and Sheffield, it's still going to be a while. Matsui has been
: at Yankee Stadium almost every day working out, running and throwing. My
: guess is that he will be back in mid-to-late August.
Painvano...連做祭品別人都不要了，不想翻這段啦

: Sheffield is harder to say, because he hasn't been with the team, so I don't
: know what he has been doing. He was two weeks behind Matsui, so I'd say an
: early-September return is still the most likely scenario.
Sheffield就很難說了，因為他沒有隨隊一起，所以我不知道他現在在幹嘛。他比松井秀喜
還要晚兩個禮拜(這句什麼意思？)，所以九月初回來仍然是最有可能的劇情了。
