Mike Piazza has turned up on the Yankees' radar, of all places.

Mike Piazza讓洋基轉動鎖定目標...

The Yankees have some interest in Piazza and will consider whether to offer
the Cooperstown-bound catcher a contract, American League sources told
Newsday yesterday.

美國聯盟傳來的消息...洋基對Piazza有興趣...將考慮是否要提供後備捕手的合約...

Piazza's agent, Dan Lozano, has called Yankees general manager Brian Cashman
regarding the free agent's interest in playing for the Yankees, and Cashman
did not dismiss the offer.

Piazza的經濟人Dan Lozano已經跟洋基經理Brian Cashman談過有興趣來洋基...Cashman
也沒有駁回這個提議...

On the contrary, it is expected that the Yankees soon will consider the
merits of signing Piazza - primarily as a designated hitter - if they haven't
already.

相反地...預計洋基很快就會分析簽下Piazza的優點...主要不只是後備捕手...
假如洋基還沒準備好適當的DH人選...他還可以在DH的位子考慮Piazza...

Reached yesterday by phone, Cashman, back from a rare Caribbean vacation,
indicated that organizational higher-ups hadn't yet weighed the pros and cons
of the Piazza possibility. But he didn't close the door at all.

Cashman在加勒比海度假...昨天接到一通電話...表明還沒斟酌Piazza進來的利弊...
但也還沒有關上協商的大門...

"We're fairly set. Our designated hitter spot is taken by Bernie Williams and
Andy Phillips. But I'll keep an open mind," Cashman said. "I'm always open to
consider any possibility that may help the ballclub."

Cashman說:"我們還沒考量...我們現在的DH指向Bernie Williams跟Andy Phillips...
但是我保留一些想法...我常考慮任何可以幫助球隊的每一種可能性..."

Piazza did not return a phone call to his Miami residence yesterday and
hasn't returned e-mails this offseason.

Piazza沒有回電話到他邁阿密的住處...也沒有回這封e-mail...

The Yankees can't yet be considered aggressive pursuers, but given the
obvious appeal of New York to Piazza, they'd have to be considered among the
front-runners in this slow-moving derby. The Phillies could be another
surprise team in the mix for the 37-year-old, who batted .251 with 19 home
runs and 62 RBIs in 113 games for the Mets last season.

洋基尚未考慮...但是必定會成為最先去考慮的球隊...另一支球隊費城人也將會是考慮
這三十七歲老將的球隊...Piazza上個球季113場比賽打了19全壘打62打點.251打擊率...

A Piazza signing would be another major public relations coup for the Yankees,
who already have taken Johnny Damon from the Red Sox. While the Mets clearly
weren't players for Piazza's services, there's reason to think a certain
high-ranking Yankees official might take some pleasure in acquiring an
all-time-great Met. Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry and David Cone are past
examples.

自從Johnny Damon從紅襪隊簽過來後...Piazza簽約可能會是另一個大家關心的焦點...
當大都會清楚表示不再跟Piazza續約...洋基有可能簽下另一個大都會的明星...
從過去的例子有Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, David Cone這些都是...

Yankees people speak highly of Phillips as a possible DH, but the opportunity
to fit Piazza for pinstripes in that role at a reasonable price might prove
too tempting. It is estimated that he could make $2 million to $3 million.

洋基球迷的輿論常表示給Phillips來當DH...但是Piazza為了到洋基穿條紋衣...
提出合理的低薪給了洋基很大的誘惑...估計只要兩百萬到三百萬就可以了...
(ps. 我不曉得這樣子不知道是便宜還是貴耶...看起來很便宜是沒錯拉...)

Lozano indicated in an interview with Newsday Oct. 22 that Piazza might want
to play "two or three" more years. He surely wants to reach 400 home runs; he
has 397, to go with 1,223 RBIs and a .311 lifetime batting average in a
major-league career that began in 1992. He'd also like to win a World Series.

經紀人Lozano在去年十月接受Newsday採訪時曾表示...Piazza想要再打個兩到三年...
他很肯定要達成400全壘打的紀錄...從1992年登上大聯盟起...他有397支全壘打...
另外還有生涯的1223分打點...以及.311的生涯打擊率...更重要的他想贏到世界大賽..
(ps. 沒想到他只差三支...加油拉老皮...)

Yankees people had discussed the possibility of signing Bengie Molina.
However, they decided they didn't think it was worth doing anything that
might irk 34-year-old Jorge Posada, a respected Yankee, or any of his
longtime teammates. The Yankees have signed another former Met, Kelly
Stinnett, as Posada's backup at catcher.

正當洋基球迷談論簽下Bengie Molina可能性的同時...透露出球迷並沒有絲毫厭煩
球隊34歲捕手Jorge Posada的表現 (ps. 洋基迷還是重感情滴^^)...他是一個受人尊敬
的洋基人...長期跟他同隊的隊友也這麼認為...這個offseason洋基已經替他簽了一個
候補的捕手Kelly Stinnett...

Piazza actually makes more sense than Molina: Posada still would do the vast
majority of the catching, Piazza would fit better than Molina as the DH,
he'd likely come cheaper and he's a proven performer in New York.

簽下Piazza實際上比起簽下Molina還有更多合理: Posada仍然是最主要的捕手...
Piazza比Molina更適合當DH...而且他還比Molina便宜...
另外他早就已經證明過他適合紐約這個環境...
(ps. 呵呵...好久以前CCLu大大就說簽Piazza比簽Molina還好...)

The free-agent market generally has been a bust for catchers, meaning Piazza
could be a bargain. Molina still is looking for work after a banner year in
Anaheim, and reports yesterday indicated he still holds out slim hope of
making $6 million for 2006.

自由市場的捕手通常都只是替補...就像現在的Piazza...而Molina在安納漢打完後...
仍然在尋找他的球隊...而且昨天還喊出想要2006年拿到六百萬的合約...

In addition to the Phillies, the Orioles, Blue Jays and another National
League club are believed to have some interest in Piazza. The interest of the
Phillies and at least one other NL team corroborates Lozano's original
assertion from early this offseason that multiple NL teams have interest in
Piazza as a catcher.

除了費城人外...金鶯隊藍鳥隊還有一些國聯球隊也對Piazza有些興趣...
費城人跟其他至少一支國聯的球隊已經在這個offseason中跟經紀人Lozano談論過了...

After his seven-year, $91-million contract expired in October, Piazza's
association with the Mets ended when GM Omar Minaya told him the team was
interested in him only in a "limited" role, which Newsday reported first
Oct. 23.

在Piazza七年九千一百萬的合約結束後...當大都會經理Omar Minaya告訴他...
說球隊只想要他當個有限的角色...他就決定跟大都會終止賓主關係...

Although he spends winters in Miami, Piazza has a home in lower Manhattan
and has loved his time in New York, by all accounts. Philadelphia also could
have appeal for Piazza, who is from suburban Philly; his family still lives
there.

雖然他冬天在邁阿密渡過...Piazza說他更愛在紐約的時光...而且曼哈頓也有個家...
選費城人也有個好處...因為他的家人現在都仍住在費城郊區...

Piazza has kept an usually low profile this winter, and word now is he is
unlikely to appear Sunday at the baseball writers' dinner to accept his
prestigious "Toast of the Town" award, an honor given annually to a
high-profile New York player.

Piazza在這個冬天保留他的意見...並且他現在也不再是獲得"Toast of the Town"
這個榮譽的紐約球員...(ps. 看來他今年比往年低調很多...)

If he doesn't show, he becomes the "Ghost of the Town." That is, unless he
reappears as a Yankee.

假如他再也不上那個秀...他將成為這個鎮的鬼魂...(ps. 指說他不再是紐約名人...)
除非...他加入了洋基隊...
