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.
天使预计不重签Torii Hunter,并将季后重心放在投手,Torii将有可能在自由市场寻求下
一个机会。
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岁,07年与天使签下了90M/5y的约,今年有.313/.365/.451,16HR的产
出。天使明年的外野预计由今年MVP候选人Mike Trout, , Peter Bourjos与
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.
上周据报天使似乎有开出一张钱不多的一年约给Torii,但他应该会寻求至少两年的约,而
且会比较想要去有竞争力的球队,像费城或游骑兵,他们都缺外野手。
