: Other than deflecting attention from the Manny Ramirez contract drive circus,

: indefinitely. Reaching a resolution during this baseball season is a
: long-shot, and don't put this thing past extending all the way into 2011.
: With the ownership of the club up in the air, one wonders, should the season

这官司除了能让大家从 Manny 合约的问题转移注意以外
答案是(对道奇队)会小有影响
毕竟这官司原本预计五月底才打，但现在已无限期延期，而且方案说不定会拖到2011年
在不晓得球队的经营权归谁的情况下，如果本季是个成功的球季
或许Jamie McCourt 会向法院请求奖励，让她关门自high一下
来庆祝她能和她老公有一样的立足点(比较基准相同，能要求比较多钱?) [不是很确定]
: This team is supermodel-thin in the outfield. It's got a kiddie-pool infield—
: breadth in lots of options, but no depth in talent. The outfield—Ramirez,
: Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier—is backed up by Johnson and the mythical Jason
: Repko. Greg Miller disease, you see. Casey Blake, Rafael Furcal and James
: Loney are assured starting spots in the infield, while Blake Dewitt and
: Alfredo Amezaga are battling the aforementioned Belliard and Carroll for the
: second base job. If one of the non-Loney infielders goes down—and remember,
: Furca is a member of this group—then the replacement would likely come from
: one of the losers of the second base competition. Catcher Russell Martin,
: facing serious questions about his own future, is backed up by A.J. Ellis,
: whose tangible skills include getting on base at an acceptable rate and,
: well, getting on base at an acceptable rate.
: 这球队的外野防区像是个超级巨星聚集地
: 但内野就像小孩子游戏的地方，是有很多可以抓来当替补的
: 但是好用的就不是那么多了
外野有 Ramirez, Kemp 和 Ethier，还有 Johnson 跟神秘的Jason Repko 在等著
Greg Miller 的情况你晓得的 (2004 RHP top prospect, 05两肩膀挂掉开刀就没起色过)
[这里是指 Repko 脚踝也有伤, 怕变成下一个 Miller, 所以才用mythical形容]
: 而 Casey Blake, Rafael Furcal 跟 James Loney 都确定了他们在内野的先发位置
: Blake Dewitt 跟 Alfredo Amezaga 还在等著看要选谁
: Belliard 跟 Carroll 也还没决定要放谁在二垒
: 如果受伤的内野手不是 Loney 的话，那就会让二垒比输的放去他的位置
: 补手的位置现在也有 A.J. Ellis 当备用，他的上垒率也还可以…嗯，就还可以
: If one of the outfielders, the three of which are the team's best hitters,
: has to miss extended time, this team might be toast. The good news is that
: Kemp and Ethier are reliable and young. The bad news is the other is Ramirez.
: As for the infielders, the team could survive an injury to anyone from second
: base around to third without suffering a season-crushing blow. That is, of
: course, unless Blake plans to do at 36 something like what he did at 35, when
: he posted a .280/.363/.468 line. That's a guy you can't lose. Problem is, of
: course, due to regression and aging, the Dodgers probably already have lost
: him. It's difficult to say what sort of impact an injury to Loney would have,
: as he's quite the wildcard heading into 2010, but we'll talk about him later.
: 如果外野手，也就是我们队上最好的打者，有人受伤的话，
: 那球队可能就会比较麻烦一点了
: 好消息是 kemp 跟 Ethier 可以信赖而且也还有青春的肉体
: 坏消息就是… Ramirez.....
: 内野的话，二垒到三垒只要不是整季爆销都不会有问题
如果 Blake 打算在他 36 岁还打算像他去年一样凶(打击三围 .280/.363/.468)
那么他就是你不能失去的打线一员
问题在于他下一季应该会退化和而且年龄更老，道奇可能已经失去他了
Loney 如果受伤的话，很难说他会造成的哪种程度影响
: 或许我们等等可以再聊聊有关他的事...
: The bullpen is a brighter picture. I think about four of these guys—Jonathan
: Broxton, George Sherrill, Ramon Troncoso and Hong Chih Kuo—would be in line
: for relief ace work with other teams. (Psst...Mr. Colletti...are you paying
: attention?) And there's some depth to the 'pen, too. Any number of losers in
: the race for the fifth rotation spot can help out of the bullpen, including
: McDonald and Scott Elbert. Bottom line is that the bullpen is about the only
: place the team can reach into its reserves and not suffer much on the field.
: Except second base, I suppose, but the Dodgers don't figure to get much from
: there anyway.
: 牛棚的话…
Broxton, Sherrill, Troncoso, 小小郭组成的牛棚是ace等级的
: (Psst.... Colletti... 你还有在听吗？)
: 还有其他可用之兵可以用，上面那些没当上第五号先发的也是
: 牛棚大概是所有位置里最不怕有伤兵的吧
: 除了二垒之外，我想道奇应该不太需要担心太多
: 3. Just who are Loney and Billingsley?
: 刚说 Loney 跟 Billingsley 等等再聊，那就现在聊吧，介绍一下他们吧
: Both born in 1984 and debuting in 2006, they were supposed to be the first
: wave of the monsoon of youngsters who figured to put the Dodgers in a
: dominant position for several years. They've certainly shown significant
: signs of life. All Loney did in his 111 plate appearances in 2006 was post a
: .284/.342/.559 line. Not bad for a 22-year old with a reputation as an
: excellent defender. As for Billingsley, he recorded a shiny 3.80 ERA in 16
: starts. This being 2010, of course, we know to look further—he struck out
: just one more batter than he walked, FIPing his way to a 4.88 freshman
: campaign. Not awe-inspiring, but he is the younger of the two.
这两个都是 1984 年出生的，2006 年上大联盟
: 他们是第一波注入道奇的新血，也让道奇在后面几年能有够纵横球赛的实力
: 他们应该要算是这一代的代表球员了吧
: Loney 在他的 2006 年 111 次打席中，交出了 .284/.342/.559 的打击三围
以一个 22 岁的属于很棒的防守型新秀来说算是很威了
: 而 Billingsley 在 16 次先发中也有亮眼的 3.80 ERA
[后面这段也不大会翻 冏]
: Since his debut, Loney has moved the wrong direction in some ways. His SLG
: dropped from .538 in 375 plate appearances in 2007 to .434 (651 PA) in 2008,
: and cratered at a ghastly .399 in another 651 plate appearances in 2009. He
: was 25 last year. This is not the trend you want to see from a first baseman,
: especially one whose swing just looks so good. But there is, yet, cause for
: hope. He rebounded from a 0.53 BB/K ratio in 2008 to a much-more encouraging
: 1.03 figure in 2009. And he shows decent enough plate control: His percentage
: of swings outside the zone has decreased each season, while his contact rate
: reached a career high 88.5 percent last season. If the power comes—and he'll
: turn just 26 in May—he might still be a monster. Through his age-25 season,
: his No. 1 Baseball Reference comparable is Jeff Bagwell. Don't give up, yet,
: Dodgers fans.
: Loney 从他初登板后，他有些数据似乎不是这么的好
: 他的长打率从 07 年的 .538 到了 08 年掉到 .434，09 年剩下 .399
: 这不是大家乐见的一垒手该有的样子，特别是他的挥棒看起来没啥问题
: 不过他的选球眼有长出来，而且跑垒的选择看起来也比较好了
: 他挥击坏球的次数也有逐年下降，contact rate 也到他的生涯新高 88.5
一旦Power长出来
