Re: [新聞] Yankees Send Johnson Back to Arizona

[eilgreen (eil)]

※ 引述《richertkk (黃家大少)》之銘言：
: Team officials confirmed the moves, but neither was announced, because the
: Diamondbacks must formalize a contract extension for Johnson and the Yankees
: must approve the results of Mientkiewicz’s physical exam. But the thinking
: was consistent with the Yankees’ approach this winter.
  球隊官方已經證實了這項交易，不過因為響尾蛇還要跟巨怪談妥延長合約，然後洋基
　也要通過Mientkiewicz的體檢報告（有啥關係阿？）所以目前兩邊都還沒正式發布
　不過洋基在這個冬天確實的做到他們想要改善的目標

: In shedding Johnson two months after trading outfielder Gary Sheffield, the
: Yankees have jettisoned two expensive players with lengthy resumes who failed
: to bring a World Series title to the Bronx. In return, they have helped
: restock a farm system that is suddenly flourishing.
　交易Gary Sheffield兩個月後又把巨怪也給換掉了，洋基走了兩個昂貴、生涯成績很
　不錯但是卻沒拿到世界大賽冠軍的球員，相對的他們讓農場大幅度的繁榮起來　
　　
: In adding Mientkiewicz for one year and $1.5 million, the Yankees tightened
:their first-base defense after years of neglect. Jason Giambi, now a full-time
: designated hitter, has limited range and a poor arm, and Sheffield failed his
: brief audition at the end of last season. Mientkiewicz won a Gold Glove in
: 2001.
　在以一年1.5M找來Mientkiewicz後，洋基加強了多年來較弱的一壘守備，吉昂比將會做
　一個專職的DH，他的防守範圍跟臂力都相當的冏，而且去年嘗試讓Sheffield 守一壘也
　不怎麼成功，Mientkiewicz則是2001的金手套
　（按：去年看到某守備評鑑，他還是相當棒，有金手套等級）

: In exchange for Johnson, the Yankees will receive the veteran right-handed
: reliever Luis Vizcaino and three prospects: the right-handers Ross Ohlendorf
: and Steven Jackson, and shortstop Alberto Gonzalez. The Yankees included
: $2 million to help offset Johnson’s $16 million salary for 2007.
　洋基用巨怪換來了四個球員：
　有經驗的中繼右投Luis Vizcaino 加上三個新秀
　兩名右投Ross Ohlendorf，Steven Jackson；游擊手Alberto Gonzalez
　洋基還要付巨怪2007年16M 薪水中的2M

: At 4 p.m. yesterday, the Diamondbacks began a 72-hour negotiating window with
: Johnson to complete the trade. Johnson will probably sign a contract for 2008
: and could allow the Diamondbacks to revise their payment schedule for the
: deferred money owed him from his previous Arizona contract.
  從昨天下午四點響尾蛇開始與巨怪協商的72小時，巨怪可能會簽下2008年的合約，而且
　答應讓響尾蛇延遲付款（以前在響尾蛇時的合約）

: Johnson went 34-19 over two seasons with the Yankees, making 67 starts
: despite persistent back pain that required surgery Oct. 26. But he often seemed
: uncomfortable in New York, and the Yankees sensed this winter that he would
: be happier returning to Arizona, where he lives and where he won four Cy Young
: awards for the Diamondbacks.
　巨怪在洋基兩年，67場先發拿下34勝19敗的戰績，後來背痛而且開刀但還是感到不怎麼
　舒服，可能他回到他住的地方會快樂一點

: General Manager Brian Cashman called Johnson last month to express condolences
: after the death of Johnson’s older brother. In that conversation, Johnson
: emphasized the importance of being closer to home.
　Cashman說上個月去弔唁巨怪的哥哥的時候，巨怪強調交易希望能離家近
　
: Johnson had no contractual right to demand a trade, and the Yankees could
: have kept him, hoping that he would be healthy enough to work his usual 200
: innings. But succeeding in New York can be challenging, even for players who
: want to be there. If a player wants out, the Yankees believe it is best to
: accommodate him.
　巨怪有不被交易的權利而洋基也可以留下他希望他還能如往常的投200局 ，但是即便
　一個球員想留在紐約，要成功也是很大的挑戰，所以當他想要離開，還是讓他走比較好

:“We’re going to talk tomorrow morning, and our hope is that we can reach an
: agreement,” Johnson’s agent, Barry Meister, said last night.
: So Johnson will move on, ending another mercenary’s unfulfilled tenure in
: pinstripes. The Yankees have imported many stars since their last World Series
: victory, in 2000, but no combination has resulted in a championship.
　經紀人Barry Meister 昨晚說：”希望明早能達成共識”
  因此巨怪現在要前進了，結束穿著條紋杉、為了金錢卻未實現願望的日子　

: This winter’s restructuring has included the return of starter Andy Pettitte
: , a mainstay from the title teams who signed a one-year, $16 million contract.
: The Johnson deal also frees up money to sign the free agent Roger Clemens,who
: pitched in four World Series for the Yankees.
　這個冬天的重建，包括一年16M 簽回Andy Pettitte，他是一個冠軍隊的支柱，巨怪的
　交易也空出金錢來簽FA火箭人，他曾經替洋基出賽過四次的世界大賽
　（按：洋基的薪資上限是自訂的兩億～～）

: Clemens’ agent, Randy Hendricks, has advised him to wait until midseason to
: return, a strategy that worked well in Houston last summer. The Yankees will
: let Clemens make his own timetable, but they are determined not to be outbid
: for him.
　火箭人的經紀人勸他等到季中再回來，就像去年在太空人一樣成功，洋基會讓他有自己的
　時刻表，不過他們並不會開超高價碼來硬簽下火箭人

: The Astros and the Red Sox also have interest in Clemens, but Clemens seems
: to have grown weary of the Astros’ lack of run support. It would be surprising
: if Clemens chose to sign with Boston for a lower salary instead of returning
: to the Yankees, where he could remain teammates with Pettitte, his close friend.
: Even if they somehow lose out on Clemens, the Yankees found the Johnson
: deal appealing because of the players they received in return.
　太空人跟紅襪也對他很有興趣，不過火箭人對太空人在得分上對他幫助很少感到厭倦，
　若是他選擇較低薪資去紅襪而不回到洋基也會令人相當驚訝，因為洋基有他的麻吉，
　即使最後火箭沒回到洋基，洋基也在巨怪的交易中拿到相當不錯的回報

: Vizcaino, 32, ranks second in games pitched among right-handers during the
: past five seasons. He was 4-6 with a 3.58 earned run average last season,
: with more strikeouts than innings pitched over 70 games.
　32歲的Vizcaino在過去五季的出賽數排名右投手第二位，上季４勝６敗 ERA 3.58
  在出賽超過70場的比賽中三振數比他投的局數還多
  （按：真的可以拿當天天Ｖ）

: The Diamondbacks are flush with strong right-handers in their farm system;
: they released one, Brian Bruney, who played well for the Yankees late last
: season. Now the Yankees have two more in Ohlendorf and Jackson, both 24.
: Ohlendorf, who has an economics degree from Princeton, was 10-8 with a
: 3.25 E.R.A. in 28 starts last season, all but one at Class AA Tennessee.
: Jackson, who pitched four seasons at Clemson, was 8-10 with a 2.65 E.R.A.
: in Class AA. Gonzalez, 23, hit .290 in Class AA last season and,
: like Ohlendorf, appeared briefly in Class AAA.
  響尾蛇的農場有相當充足的強力右投，去年就釋出Brian Bruney，結果在洋基投得
　嚇嚇叫，現在洋基又拿到兩位： Ohlendorf and Jackson，兩個都24歲，
　Ohlendorf ：有著Princeton的經濟學學位，去年球季先發28場10勝8敗3.25ERA
  只有一場不是在AA先發(一場在AAA 五局丟一分)
　http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/O/Ross-Ohlendorf.shtml
  Jackson ：在Clemson大學投了四年，去年在AA投出8勝10敗2.65ERA，內容相當不錯
　http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/J/Steven-Jackson.shtml
　Gonzalez：23歲在AA有.290的打擊率，也曾短暫上到AAA
  http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/G/Alberto-Gonzalez.shtml

: The Yankees acquired three minor league pitchers from Detroit in their
: November deal for Sheffield. After that trade, a writer from Baseball America
: listed the Yankees sixth among all teams for talent in their farm system.
: Last March, the magazine ranked them 17th.
  洋基在11月和老虎交易Sheffield的時候就拿到了三個小聯盟的投手，在那交易之後
　Baseball America的作者將洋基農場的投手天賦排在30隊的第六名，而去年三月只排
  在17

: The foundation of the Yankees’ recent dynasty, from 1996 until Johnson
: beat them in relief in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, came from their farm
: system. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams and Pettitte
: were all homegrown. As Cashman tries to emphasize development again, Williams,
: 38, is probably on his way out. The Mientkiewicz deal ensures that the Yankees
: will not have a roster spot for Williams.
  洋基的王朝從1996開始到巨怪在2001率領響尾蛇在世界大賽第七戰打敗他們結束，當中
　最重要的基礎就是他們的農場：
　Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams and Pettitte
  都是洋基自己養的，現在Cashman 想要再次加強發展，38歲的Bernie可能是要離開的時
  候了，Mientkiewicz的加入確定了洋基沒有留給Bernie的位置了

: Counting Mientkiewicz as one of nine everyday players, the bench will include
: backups in the infield, first base and at catcher, with Melky Cabrera as the
: reserve outfielder. The Yankees plan to carry 12 pitchers.
: Mets Manager Willie Randolph admires Williams, who could try to stay in New
: York by signing with the Mets as a bench player. But the Mets, who are close
: to signing the reserve David Newhan, seem to like their bench as it is.
: John Dougherty contributed reporting from Phoenix.
  將Mientkiewicz算入先發九人中，板凳需要包括內野工具人、一壘手、捕手當然還有
　Melky當四號外野手，共13人而洋基希望能帶12名投手
  （內野工具人是？？　替補捕手是Wil Nieves ？？）
　大都會的Manager　Willie Randolph相當欣賞Bernie，若他與大都會簽約打替補可以
　繼續留在紐約，不過大都會快要跟David Newhan簽約了
