Over the off-season I professed how I had a distaste for our bullpen,
particularly the middle and back parts consisting of Gary Glover and Scott
Dohmann. Every Monday I'll look at the usage over the past week, that obviously
begins today.
球季開始前我就有說過，咱家的牛棚還真是不討喜，特別是Glover&Dohmann這兩位的續航
力。每個星期一我都有回頭看看過去這一週牛棚的使用狀況，今天也不例外。
Generally speaking the bullpen did an excellent job this week even with one
loss credited to Al Reyes, and only one save to Troy Percival. The unit saw
13.6 innings worth of work, allowing six runs -- four by Reyes and the other
two by Miller -- for an ERA of 3.97, quite an improvement over the 6.16 ERA
last season, even at such a small sample size.
雖然Reyes吞了一敗、Percival只有一次救援成功，但是普遍來說，大家的表現都棒透了。
總計13.6局的投球，一共才六分自責分，Reyes貢獻四分，另外兩分則屬於Miller，自責失
分率才3.97哦，與上個球季6.16的自責失分率真是突飛猛進，雖然球季才剛開始。
Beginning at the top, Percival was only called upon once and was efficient in
preserving his first Rays save and the 325th of his career. Showing great poise
Percival worked through an iffy non-strike call against Bobby Abreu and located
his next pitch, striking the veteran out to end the game. Although his role
thus far has been near minimal Percival's clubhouse demeanor and role have been
unmatched, look for the new bullpen area configuration this week at the request
of Percival.
從表上我們可以看到Percival上週指出賽一場，但是很有效率的幫助球隊拿下本季第一次
救援成功，也是個人職業生涯第325次了。以相當穩定的表現及精準的控球三振掉Abreu
這位資深的球員後結束了比賽。但是由於本週出場次數少的可憐，似乎與終結者這三個字
大相逕庭，因此觀察這隻牛是否夠強壯將成為本週重點中的重點。
Despite a bloodbath at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles Reyes has been solid
in two of his three appearances, including cleaning up a mess left by Miller on
Saturday. In the past I was skeptical about giving Reyes even more innings, but
thus far it appears Joe Maddon is leaning towards using Miller and Reyes in
union for the 8th inning, at least until their performance or address dictates
otherwise.
儘管在對上金鶯的浴血戰中，Reyes三場出賽中有兩場表現相當優異，Miller在禮拜六的比
賽也殺翻一票左打部隊。過去我曾經懷疑，給Reyes多一點投球局數真的好嗎，但目前為止
，比賽在八局之後教練明顯的傾向於使用Miller&Reyes二人組,至少在他們還能夠的表現能
夠宰制對手之前。
Speaking of Miller he's hardly impressed, yet this is nothing unexpected. Over
his career Miller has thrown more than 200 innings during the first half of the
season and has an ERA of 5.18, as opposed to his 3.65 ERA in the second half.
Another thing to watch during the unfortunately named "Miller Time" will be his
pre-pitch tendencies, namely if he continues to go to the bill of his hat prior
to each pitch.
Miller是一位令人印象深刻的球員，讓人非常的期待。如果將他的職業生涯一分為二，那
麼在他前半個職業生涯裡已經投的兩百多局當中，自責分率5.18，而後半個職業生涯的自
責分率則是3.65。而另一個觀察重點是被稱為"Miller Time"的投球姿勢，也就是在他每次
投球之前都會先摸好幾次帽子。
We now reach a piece that the Rays have chosen as a core of the relief staff
through 2010 at the earliest, yes the newest extension receiver, Dan Wheeler.
Not only did Wheeler find himself with the most work this week but he also
found himself as the most effective, not allowing a baserunner thus far while
striking out two batters. As I've pointed out numerous times it wasn't hard to
see that Wheeler was a candidate for performance regression, or in this case
progression, based on his peripherals.His contract extension isn't just
reasonable, it's a downright steal for an organization that since its inception
has been hard-pressed to find consistently successful relievers and keep them
in Rays uniforms.
我們現在已經逐漸了解到光芒隊從現在開始到2010年的核心中繼投手、最新的長中繼將會
是Wheeler。他本人也發現自己除了這禮拜的投球量最大之外，更是最有效率的投手，因為
他累積三振兩名打者之外，根本沒讓任何跑者上壘過。我曾經說過好幾次:不難發現
Wheeler是正在改變的球員之一，而根據他的表現看來，我指的當然會是變好。他現在的合
約並不合理，對球隊來說根本是竊盜，因為自從球隊成立之後，我們一直很難找到一個持
久有力的中繼，並使他們能夠留在隊中。
From awful starter to potentially useful reliever, thus is the career path of
one James Phillip Howell. As he showed Sunday Howell is able to go multiple
innings without ill results, even against the most vaunted of lineups. To his
credit, Howell also showed the ability to retire batters of either hand equally
well, and even went on a streak of seven straight outs. For one day at least,
Howell appears to have reached the point of his career where the talk of
potentially becoming useful is turning into results and is certainly someone to
watch for as this season ages.
從有待加強的先發投手到成為一個實用的中繼後援投手，這是我們Howell的生涯寫照。上
星期天他證明了自己能夠成功的吃局數，而且我們的對手是相當有了不起的鑽石打線的哦
。這是一項偉大的貢獻，並且表現了不管是面對左打或右打，都能夠各各擊破的能力，還
曾經連續解決掉七名打者。至少在那一天，Howell的表現明顯達到了他為球隊盡可能能夠
做到的一切，讓自己從球隊認為算堪用的狀態進入本季的重要保護名單。
Finally we reach Scott Dohmann and Gary Glover and while neither did anything
to grant my ire, yet, I'm encouraged that Glover was used the least of all
relief arms. To their credit both have been effective, but I sincerely question
if the level of success achieved last year can be replicated by either. I'm
skeptical, but hopeful, if the duo can at least be around league average the
Rays pen could become amongst the deepest in the league.
最後說的是Dohmann&Glover，這兩位實在都讓我非常安心，在我看到上禮拜Glover是牛棚
中投球量最少的投手之後我很開心。我不免要先稱讚一下，他們兩位都是非常有效率的投
手，但我真心認為其中任何一人的成績是否還有辦法跟去年一樣好。雖然懷疑但我還是覺
得滿懷希望，只要這兩人至少維持在大聯盟平均水準的話，那麼光芒隊將能夠成為牛棚深
度最深的球隊之一。
Since the bullpen won't consist of these seven all season, or at least it's
highly inconceivable that such a rarity would occur, I would also like to
highlight some of the relievers at Durham during this space. Grant Balfour, the
8th reliever if you will, cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment
to Durham. Steve Andrade remains on the disabled list to start the season
meanwhile Chad Orvella has seemingly yet to recover from his injury, but the
good news -- I guess -- is that Kurt Birkins has began throwing again and could
join Durham soon. Dale Thayer, Calvin Medlock, Nick DeBarr and Scott Munter
have been solid thus far with Ben Hendrickson being anything but, allowing six
runs in two and two-thirds innings of work.
但總不能想只靠這七隻牛撐完一整個球季，這種奇蹟根本是不可能發生的，所以我列出一
些3A猛牛的可用之兵，Balfour:如果你願意的話，可以將他列為第八位中繼投手。Andrade
依舊在DL。Orvella的傷似乎還需要再花一段時間。好消息是---我猜Birkins已經開始練投
，很快就可以歸隊。另外還有Thayer,Medlock,DeBarr,Munter,四位強投，而至於另一位
Hendrickson就莫再提了O_Q
