※ 引述《decorum (Festina Lente)》之铭言：
: 今天纽约时报的报导:去年Ryan Howard签下125M/5yrs，
: 据说小王子要求的价钱是200M/5yrs.
: 如果他要得到这个价钱，St. Louis 那个火星人值多少？

: 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.
“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.
大意是说 小王子准备FA 酒鬼能否留下他呢?
而这也是MLB职棒中的一部分
还有就是简叙小王子的表现对于酒鬼能有现在的好成绩(76胜国中第一)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.
这边大概说 酒鬼认为自己想要赢了 而且现在也证明他们有这个能力
七月的交易已经很好的证实了(包含没有把小王子送出 和交易来能帮助球队的球员)
作者把这个时间点跟08年盘来沙胖做比较－－－酒鬼是真的想赢
而可惜的是08年沙胖最终选择了北佬
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.
这边拿出了两个约做比较
一个是猴儿的大约125/5(可以先看一下06~10猴儿的成绩)
而小王子的成绩似乎也值她所说的200M(这边没有说是几年 不过我认为是8~10)
另外一个是队友签下的105M 作者也强调了这是一个小市场球队
提出这个合约的用意，是要告诉大家已经有负担在身的酒鬼未必有能力满足小王子
“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.
这部分我认为不是很重要
大概是小王子的场面话 还有一些事实来证明小王子的重要性
还有拥有ｚ魔神的酒鬼阵容并不输给08年 之类的
