John Fay 一月二十五日專訪Baker稿
John Fay上週一篇Dusty Baker專訪,有一丁點內容,貼出來分享一下,摘錄一些比較有意義的問題,並且節譯
Q: Does adding Jeremy Affeldt solidify the rotation?
譯: Jeremy Affeldt的加入是否強化了先發陣容
A: I don't know if it solidifies it. You're always looking for an upgrade of the rotation. We have a mixture of youth and some veterans and some unknowns. We're hoping Jeremy can adjust to starting. I talked to him. He's trying to add a third pitch, a changeup, which is going to be a bit of an experiment.
譯: 我不知道這是否強化了陣容,球隊必須始終持續的增強先發陣容,隊上目前陣容是一些年輕,資深以及一些不熟悉的投手群組合.我們希望Jermery可以調整至先發的位置.我已經跟他談過,他正在嘗試加強第三種球路,變速球,正在實驗中(聽起來有種不好的感覺).
If it doesn't work - I told him I'd give him every opportunity (in spring training) - you know he's qualified as a reliever. Everybody needs that. But everybody's looking for a left-handed starter. We're going to train him and prepare him as a starter. If it doesn't work, he can always relieve. But it's harder to prepare him as a reliever in spring training and move him into starting.
譯:我會再春訓的時候給他機會去嘗試先發.如果最後他不能進入先發五人,我們知道他是個好的中繼投手.任何球隊都需要這種投手.但是,就像任何球隊一樣,先發群中都需要一個左投(Reds目前沒有先發左投,一個都沒有).我們計畫訓練並試他為一個先發投手......
Q: How do you feel about the depth of the pitching staff?
譯:你對投手陣容的看法.
A: We're improving. That's one of the things Bob Castellini told me when I signed on: We're going to make this team better. We're going to try to add to the depth of it. You're still at the mercy of what's out there. Everybody's looking for the same thing. Everybody's looking for pitching. Hopefully, we have enough. If we don't, we'll go back to the drawing board. Bob Castellini said get whatever is necessary. You don't want to be stupid or crazy. That's the worst thing you can do is make bad decisions for the short run. We're looking at the long haul.
譯:正在持續改善中.其實是一堆廢話,不翻譯了.
Q: Todd Coffey lost 25, 30 pounds. How encouraged are you by the effort he put in?
譯: Todd Coffey減肥了25-30磅.你對他付出的辛苦有何看法.
A: He told me he was going to do that. He kept his word. I haven't talked to him (lately). Over the holidays is the time to leave them alone. Now is the time to say: "Have you really been training? Have you really been getting your act together?" We've got some serious competition. You need to try to have the best year you can for us because the rewards are a lot higher. ... The thing I hate about spring training is making cuts. I got cut. I'll never forget it. Just because you get cut doesn't mean you're not in our plans.
譯: 他告訴我他要作,他也保持著他的承諾.同樣是一堆廢話.不想翻了.(簡單說,Todd Coffey若是像去年一樣維持著死胖子並且軟弱的表現,他會被踢出球隊)
Q: How do you see center field?
A: You're asking questions that I'll have to see when I get there. I've never seen Norris Hopper play. I've seen Ryan Freel play. There could be some other guys in the mix. That's a very, very, very important position on our ballclub. Right now, it's Freel and Hopper and we'll see if the other guys are ready. We may get a surprise guy to open some eyes.
(Damn,何不給Bruce一點機會.)
Q: How do you see Jay Bruce?
A: I'm going to let the young man be himself. Let him play. Don't put any pressure on him. He's had headlines already. I hear the reports on him are very, very good. I've never seen him play. I'm excited and anxious to see him play.
簡而言之,聽其言,觀其行.就讓他在春訓的時候好好表現吧.
