Stanton commits to play for Team USA in Classic
Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton will add his powerful bat to the middle of
Team USA's lineup in the World Baseball Classic.
马林鱼怪力男 Stanton 将带着他强力的棒子加入了 WBC 美国队。
The All-Star outfielder has committed to play for the United States in this
year's Classic, according to a report by CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman,
providing Team USA manager Joe Torre with another potent bat as the American
club seeks its first WBC championship.
接受美国队教练 Joe Torre 的邀请，希望 Stanton 的大棒子能够帮助美国队拿到
第一座 WBC 冠军。
Fellow Major Leaguers Adam Jones, Brandon Phillips, Joe Mauer, David Wright
and Ryan Braun have already expressed their intentions to play in the
tournament. The World Baseball Classic rosters will be unveiled Thursday
night on MLB Network.
除了 Stanton 以外，Adam Jones, Brandon Phillips, Joe Mauer, David Wright,
Ryan Braun 都有兴趣参与经典赛。
Asked in September if he would consider playing in the Classic, Stanton
responded: "Absolutely. Anything that represents your country is a big deal.
It's relatively new. To have that be more popular, or make that more
important to people, is ideal.
去年九月 Stanton 就表达了想打经典赛的念头。
"You never know how long a career can be, and you want to get that
experience," he added. "You never know how your health will be. In three
years, something could go wrong. I'm able to do it now, and have no reason
not to."
他表示：没有人知道我能打多久，没有人知道三年内健康状况会有什么变化，
有花堪折直须折。
Stanton, the subject of many trade rumors since voicing his unhappiness over
the Marlins' blockbuster trade with the Blue Jays, posted a .290/.361/.608
batting line and hit 37 home runs for Miami last season. In just three years
with the Marlins, the 23-year-old has hit 93 homers.
对马林鱼球团大拍卖感到不爽的 Stanton 一直处于交易流言中，他去年夯了37发
全垒打，这位23岁小将在仅仅三年内已夯了93轰。
