: 今天紐約時報的報導:去年Ryan Howard簽下125M/5yrs，
: 據說小王子要求的價錢是200M/5yrs.
: 如果他要得到這個價錢，St. Louis 那個火星人值多少？

: market for a heavy-hitting first basemen when he signed a five-year deal
: worth $125 million. Fielder is reportedly seeking $200 million.
“It would be awesome being a part of that forever,” Fielder said.
It is possible, however, that Fielder could be in his final weeks with the
franchise. The Brewers are in the midst of one of their most memorable
seasons, but there is a question as to whether the team can retain Fielder
when he becomes a free agent this off-season.
Fielder, who has 28 home runs, is the powerful cleanup hitter in a lineup
that has muscled the Brewers (76-52) to the top of the National League Central. The team has won 22 of its last 25 games after its 6-2 victory over the Mets on Sunday at Citi Field.
大意是說 小王子準備FA 酒鬼能否留下他呢?
而這也是MLB職棒中的一部分
還有就是簡敘小王子的表現對於酒鬼能有現在的好成績(76勝國中第一)是很重要的
The Brewers signaled their intention to win, and to win now,
when they declined to trade Fielder in July. The move by General Manager Doug
Melvin echoed the decision in 2008 to trade for C. C. Sabathia, who that year
led the Brewers to just their third playoff appearance.
“It means a lot because you don’t get these opportunities a lot,”
Fielder said of the team’s attempt to make a run.
There’s no guarantee you’ll get another team that can win like this.
People go their whole career and not even go to the playoffs,
let alone the World Series.”
It will be another matter as to whether the Brewers will actually
be able to afford Fielder when he becomes available on the open market.
The Brewers made a substantial offer to keep Sabathia,
but he ended up signing with the Yankees.
這邊大概說 酒鬼認為自己想要贏了 而且現在也證明他們有這個能力
七月的交易已經很好的證實了(包含沒有把小王子送出 和交易來能幫助球隊的球員)
作者把這個時間點跟08年盤來沙胖做比較－－－酒鬼是真的想贏
而可惜的是08年沙胖最終選擇了北佬
In April 2010, Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies seemed to set
the market for a heavy-hitting first basemen when he signed a five-year deal
worth $125 million. Fielder is reportedly seeking $200 million.
? There are complicating factors for the small-market Brewers.
They have been unable to reach an agreement with Fielder’s agent,
Scott Boras. The club already has a significant financial obligation
to left fielder Ryan Braun, who signed a five-year,
$105 million deal in April.
這邊拿出了兩個約做比較
一個是猴兒的大約125/5(可以先看一下06~10猴兒的成績)
而小王子的成績似乎也值她所說的200M(這邊沒有說是幾年 不過我認為是8~10)
另外一個是隊友簽下的105M 作者也強調了這是一個小市場球隊
提出這個合約的用意，是要告訴大家已經有負擔在身的酒鬼未必有能力滿足小王子
“If I could stay here, that would be ideal,” Fielder said.
“It’s the team I came up with, and I have a lot of friends here.
My kids have friends here, too.”
? The trip to New York doubled as a showcase of Fielder’s value.
He drove in eight runs over the three games, including two Sunday,
bringing his season total to 98 runs batted in.
? On Saturday, Fielder mashed a three-run homer in the third inning,
then singled to tie the game in the ninth as the Brewers went on to win,
11-9. The home run was hit so hard that the sound of the ball smacking
an empty seat in right field was audible across the ballpark.
? “That pitch he hit, it had no business getting hit,
let alone swinging at it,” Brewers pitcher Shaun Marcum said.
“He’s incredible the way he gets locked in, and he’s able to hit
the ball all over the ballpark. He’s very athletic.”
? To complement the team’s powerful bats, the bold Melvin followed
through on his plan to add two pitchers in the off-season,
signing Marcum and Zack Greinke to strengthen the rotation.
The team also appears to have a stronger bullpen than it did
when it made the playoffs in 2008.
? The combination has put the Brewers, whose only other playoff appearances
came in 1981 and 1982, in a comfortable spot atop the division.
? Fielder appeared similarly at ease in the visitors’ clubhouse
Sunday morning as he padded around in customized sneakers
that were gold, had his No. 28 on them and featured a cheeky message stitched
into the heels. The inscription: “Like What You See?”
? The rest of baseball may have a chance to answer that question
in the off-season.
這部分我認為不是很重要
大概是小王子的場面話 還有一些事實來證明小王子的重要性
還有擁有ｚ魔神的酒鬼陣容並不輸給08年 之類的
翻的不是很好 歡迎打臉
