: Across the way, the new Yankee Stadium grows larger every day, and with it so
: do questions about the team that will play there come 2009.

馬路的另一側，新洋基球場一天天的越長越大，而跟它一樣（越來越大）的是關於
2009將在那邊打球的那支隊伍的疑問。

: The new Stadium will have new features such as large concourses, luxury
: suites and a myriad of new concessions. But it also will pay homage to the
: team's history with a face that harks back to the original facade and a
: transplanted Monument Park.

新球場將有新的面貌，比如：大廣場、豪華包廂、無數的商店。但它也保留了對球
隊歷史的忠誠：保留原貌的正門，以及搬遷過去的紀念公園。

: The Daily News staff reviewed the prospects in the organization, the coming
: free agent market and quality of the current players to give fans a glimpse
: of what the '09 team might look like. The Yankees will probably be a lot like
: the park, boasting many new additions and important remnants of the team's
: best days, such has Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada.

（紐約）日報特派員檢視了一下這個組織的潛力新秀、未來的自由球員市場、以及
現有球員的素質，來讓球迷們一窺2009年這個球隊可能的面貌。洋基隊很可能一如
它的球場，大力地加入新的元素並保留最好時光中的重要成員一如隊長基特、MO以
及微笑POSADA。

: Catcher
: None of the News staffers could see Posada, 35, anywhere except where he's
: been for all 13 of his major league seasons.
: "He's having a monster season," baseball writer Anthony McCarron said. "It'll
: get him a two-year deal and maybe more."
: "He says he wants to see what's out there on the free agent market, but
: there's no way the Yankees want him playing anywhere but here," baseball
: columnist Bill Madden said.
: Posada will turn 37 during the 2009 season but the feeling here is that,
: unlike with other catchers, his on-field performance won't decline much.
: Catchers that start to slip at 35 have been playing the position - and taxing
: their knees - from before the day they were drafted. Posada was an infielder,
: so his legs have suffered less wear and tear.
捕手：
沒有任何日報成員能在這個POSADA已經度過十三年大聯盟生涯的地方以外見到他。
「他現在正擁有可怕的球季（表現）」棒球作家Anthony McCarron說：「那將會讓
他拿到一紙兩年合約，也許更多。」
「他說他想看看自由球員市場上的狀況，但洋基不可能讓他在其他地方打球的。」
棒球專欄作家Bill Madden說。
Posada將在2009年滿37歲，但是在這兒我們覺得，不像其它的捕手，他在場上的表
現並不會下滑太多。在35歲開始下滑的捕手通常在他們被簽約之前就在這個位置上
消耗他們膝蓋的壽命。以前Posada是個內野手，所以他的雙腿比較不受其害。

: The Infield
: The biggest dispute came at third base with regard to Alex Rodriguez's
: future.
: "Even if Yanks miss the playoffs, I don't believe A-Rod is looking to leave
: New York," baseball columnist John Harper said. "He enjoys all the buzz
: around him, good and bad, and (George) Steinbrenner will be desperate to keep
: him. With few position players in their system, the Yanks will have to
: overpay somebody for offense, so why not A-Rod?"
: Yankees beat writer Mark Feinsand and baseball writer Peter Botte see third
: base as a spot where the team could pluck a big talent like Miguel Cabrera
: off a small market club like the Marlins. "A-Rod gets replaced when the
: Marlins can't afford to keep this slugger," Feinsand said.
: Mike Lowell is earning $9 million in an All-Star season for the Red Sox and
: will merit a raise they might not be willing to give. He came up through the
: Yankees system and speaks reverently about it. The bet here is the Yankees
: bring him while dealing their archrivals a blow.
: The Bombers could continue to work Johnny Damon into a first baseman, but
: most of the panel likes Mark Teixiera of the Rangers.
: "Teixiera is the best guy who will be available and money will be freed up
: when (Jason) Giambi's contract is through (in '08)," baseball columnist Bill
: Madden said.

內野手
最大的爭議來自於AROD未來的考量。
「即使洋基錯失了季後賽，我也不相信AROD將會離開洋基。」棒球專欄作家John
Harper說：「他享受的圍繞著他的聲音，好的壞的都是，而大老闆會特地留下他
，因為這個位置的球員在他們系統比較少，他們為了攻擊能力必須多付些錢給某
人，所以何不選AROD？」
洋基作家Mark Feinsand和棒球作家Peter Botte認為在三壘這個位置上，洋基能
從小球場球隊（如馬大魚）找到有天分的球員一如米糕卡布。「當馬大魚付不起
強打者薪水時，AROD將能被取代。」Feinsand說。

先翻到這，下午要去實驗室工作了

: The Outfield
: The sole consensus in the outfield is that Hideki Matsui will be there in the
: final season of his four-year deal. There is a strong feeling, though, that
: Melky Cabrera might continue his development and hold on to a job and that
: Minnesota's Torii Hunter could be the Yanks' big offseason acquisition come
: this winter.
: "Minnesota will have to make some tough choices because they don't have the
: money to keep everyone," McCarron said. "With a new ballpark coming, keeping
: (pitcher Johan) Santana is a must and that will free up Hunter."
: Designated Hitter
: If Damon's physical decline from this season continues, his grinding at-bats
: may be his only asset in the final season of his contract. That is why he
: would fit as the DH.
: Madden sees it as the only spot for minor leaguer Shelley Duncan, the team's
: only power-hitting prospect. The feeling here is that with sluggers Troy
: Glaus of Toronto and Travis Hafner of Cleveland becoming free agents, the
: Bombers won't be able to resist.
: Pitching
: All agree that the Yankee organization is strong on pitching and that
: Chien-Ming Wang and Phil Hughes will be rotation mainstays for years. There
: also is overwhelming support for Double-A prospect Joba Chamberlain, who
: becomes the top pitching prospect after Hughes' promotion.
: Still, they are the Yankees, and they always like big-ticket items. Aces from
: other teams - Minnesota's Johan Santana, Baltimore's Erik Bedard, Cleveland's
: C.C. Sabathia and Milwaukee's Ben Sheets - will hit free agency in the next
: two years. Botte sees Houston's Roy Oswalt as an expensive asset if the
: cost-conscious Astros drop from contention.
: "They will offer Santana the moon," Harper said. Added Madden: "That's the
: kind of big score they'll want to make."
: There also was some sentiment that as long as Roger Clemens continues to
: pitch effectively, he could remain on his half-season program.
: "Roger would like the idea of going after Christy Mathewson and Grover
: Cleveland Alexander at 373 (career wins)," McCarron said.
: Manager
: The consensus that Joe Torre will be gone is the survey's biggest upset. And
: there are concerns that Don Mattingly's low-key approach would be too much
: like Torre's.
: "The Boss is the kind of guy who's going to want a fiery personality to
: replace a laid-back style," McCarron said.
: "They don't want to stick Donnie with being the guy who follows Joe,
: especially because he has no managerial experience," Botte said.
: "I have a feeling that (GM Brian) Cashman is not as sold on Mattingly as
: Steinbrenner might be," Harper said. "He can sell Mattingly on getting a
: chance down the road, but assuming that Torre is gone after this season, it's
: now or never with Joe Girardi."
: General Manager
: The majority feel Steinbrenner will stick with Cashman. "There may be a
: talent inside the organization capable of replacing Brian," Feinsand said,
: "but George would have to see it."
: The feeling here - and for McCarron - is that the Red Sox's new model may be
: the one to emulate. The Diamondbacks are thriving under former Theo Epstein
: assistant Josh Byrnes and another top assistant, Jed Hoyer, may be ready to
: leave the nest. McCarron predicts that Epstein's contract will run out and
: likes the Yankees' chances in a bidding war.
