Angels Unlikely To Re-Sign Torii Hunter
By Tim Dierkes [October 25, 2012 at 3:39pm CST]
The Angels are highly unlikely to re-sign right fielder Torii Hunter, MLBTR
has learned from a source close to the situation. The Angels are highly
prioritizing pitching improvements, and Hunter will have a chance to explore
the open market.
天使預計不重簽Torii Hunter，並將季後重心放在投手，Torii將有可能在自由市場尋求下
一個機會。
Hunter, 37, signed a five-year, $90MM deal with the Angels after the '07
season. He hit .313/.365/.451 with 16 home runs in 584 plate appearances
this year, so he's still an asset from the right side of the plate. His
right field defense grades out as above-average. MVP candidate Mike Trout is
assured of a starting spot next year for the Halos, while Vernon Wells, Peter
Bourjos, and Mark Trumbo project to take the rest of the at-bats.
Torii Hunter，37歲，07年與天使簽下了90M/5y的約，今年有.313/.365/.451，16HR的產
出。天使明年的外野預計由今年MVP候選人Mike Trout, , Peter Bourjos與
Mark Trumbo等人共同扛起。
A week ago, Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote that the Angels offered Hunter
"only a one-year contract at a heavy pay cut from his $18 million salary,"
and that Hunter is aiming for at least a two-year deal. At this stage in his
career I imagine Hunter is focused on playing for a contender, with teams
such as the Phillies and Rangers looking like viable options.
上週據報天使似乎有開出一張錢不多的一年約給Torii，但他應該會尋求至少兩年的約，而
且會比較想要去有競爭力的球隊，像費城或遊騎兵，他們都缺外野手。
