Perspective Time
By Patrick Sullivan
展望未来的时刻
In a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers last night, Grady Sizemore hit home runs
number 30 and 31, pushing his season line to a phenomenal .271/.383/.532
mark. Having turned just 26 three weeks ago or so, Sizemore has affirmed that
his outstanding 2006 campaign (.290/.375/.533) was no outlier. It seems safe
to say that he has arrived as a superstar for years to come.
昨晚以4比3击败底特律老虎的比赛中，Grady Sizemore轰出了本季第30、31号全垒打，
把他亮眼的表现推向本季新高。(打击三围.271/.383/.532) 这个三周前刚满26岁的小
伙子，已经证明了他2006年突出的成绩绝非偶然！(.290/.375/.533)
你可以放心地说：他会是近几年的超级巨星。
Of course that he may have reached a new, sustained performance level should
strike fear into the rest of the league. Sizemore is already a player of
historic significance, as there just have not been many center fielders able
to produce, both with the glove and the bat, the way Grady has so early on in
his career. He won the 2007 Gold Glove, and defensive statistics show him to
have been one of the finest defenders before last season as well.
Offensively, well, have a look at the table below.
Sizemore持续稳定的表现已经在联盟中投下震撼弹。他此时已是有历史意义的球员，因
为同时具有攻击火力和优良守备的中外野手并不多。他曾经赢得2007年的金手套奖，而
且各项守备数据也显示：他是上一季守备最好的野手之一。攻击火力，从下方的图表也
显而易见。
From To AVG OBP SLG OPS+
Griffey '89 - '93 .303 .375 .520 145
Lynn '74 - '78 .303 .372 .498 133
C Cedeno '70 - '74 .294 .346 .476 131
Sizemore '04 - '08 .280 .372 .494 126
Wynn '63 - '67 .254 .336 .4444 125
Over the last fifty years, that's your list of center fielders who have
managed a 125 OPS+ or better in their first five seasons. If Sizemore stays
healthy and settles into the .375/.520 hitter it appears he is, Sizemore will
eventually take his place among the finest center fielders ever to play.
这是在过去50年中，在生涯前五个球季就达到125 OPS+以上的中外野手名单。
如果Sizemore能保持健康，显然能成为一个拥有.375/.520 实力的打者。在有史以来最
好的中外野手中，Sizemore也能占有一席之地。
