5 Deadline deals that make sense
內文:
By Jim Duquette / MLB.com | 6:10 PM ET
For a period there, a silly thought popped in the heads of some. With so few
deals being done, a slew of you pictured a summer without significant player
traffic.
起頭文,沒啥重點。
But then the Astros opened the Trade Deadline doors with a deal for Scott
Kazmir. And before you fully processed that one, Aramis Ramirez was on his
way to Pittsburgh. Then Johnny Cueto to the Royals happened. Congrats, Kansas
City. You got yourselves an ace.
Kazmir的交易開啟了交易大限的門。談到了前陣子的幾個交易,並給予祝福。
Think the wheeling and dealing is complete? Nope. In fact, the fun may have
just begun. We could see a few more studs exchanged in the next few days. The
following five moves would make sense, so don't be surprised if they go down
as described below.
這段是鋪陳作者下面這些動作發生的話不要意外。
1. Cole Hamels to the Dodgers
Looking back to Spring Training, I suggested that the Phillies and Dodgers
could be fits for a deal involving Hamels. And through this point in the
campaign, nothing has happened to change my mind on that front.
In fact, the suggestion would seem to make even more sense now in light of
Los Angeles' rotation injury woes. Hyun-Jin Ryu and Brandon McCarthy are out
for the year, and health questions will always surround the talented but
oft-sidelined Brett Anderson.
作者說春訓時就有建議過了,並提到了道奇目前先發輪值受到了傷勢所困,Hyun-Jin Ryu
跟Brandon McCarthy今年都不會回來了,而且健康問題還是圍繞在 Brett Anderson。
As his season-to-date 3.64 ERA suggests, Hamels is not the favorite for the
2015 National League Cy Young Award. He has, however, displayed brilliance at
times.
Hamels ERA: 3.64,雖然不是賽揚的熱門人選,但仍然投的很讚。
Need proof? Take a look at what Hamels did in his most recent start.
The prospect of acquiring Hamels is an even more appealing fantasy to
franchises seeking more than a summer's rental, as the left-hander could be
under control through 2019.
What it would take: The Dodgers have called top prospects Corey Seager and
Julio Urias untouchable, but one of the two would need to be included to
complete this deal.
作者提到Hamel不是只是今年過水而已,可以控制到2019,不過道奇早就提到,
他們的頂級潛力新秀Corey Seager跟Julio Urias不可能當籌碼,不過這交易仍然可能
會發生。
2. Carlos Gomez to the Angels
How about those Angels? Hot since early May, they might just be the American
League's most well-rounded squad. Still, the club could stand to improve its
left-field production, which has sagged for most of the season.
作者提及天使表現得很火熱,球團希望能加深左外野深度,這個困擾整季的問題。
Enter the electric Gomez, the owner of an impressive power-speed display. And
having also played Gold Glove-caliber defense in center, the 29-year-old
would likely shift over to left to help form one of baseball's most dazzling
outfield units. The Angels traded for Shane Victorino on Monday night, but he
didn't cost much (Josh Rutledge) and is more there for depth. Gomez would
take the club to a new level.
Carlos Gomez有棒子有速度,還曾是中外野金手套,29歲的他可以適任在球場上外野困難
的位置之一,天使已經交易到了Shane Victorino,但代價不會對球團耗費太多(Josh
Rutledge),而且這筆交易加深了外野深度,Gomez的加入可以讓球團提升到新的檔次。
What it would take: If that did not sell you on Gomez, then also consider his
team-friendly $9 million salary for 2016. For a team such as the Halos
