Twins to sign veteran outfielder David Murphy, plan to shake up roster
The Twins aren't waiting for some players to hit their way out of their bad
starts. The club has agreed to terms with veteran outfielder David Murphy on
a minor league deal and will send him to Class AAA Rochester.
开季至今不知赢球滋味的双城有所动作:签下老将外野手David Murphy,他已向3A报到。
But, according to a club source, Murphy is not expected to stay in Rochester
long before being called up to join the major league team.
但有消息指出他应该不会在3A蹲太久。
When he does arrive, the club is not afraid to demote Eddie Rosario, Byron
Buxton or Miguel Sano to make room for him. So, essentially, the next couple
weeks could be an elimination round for a young starting outfield that was
supposed to help take the Twins to the next level.
外野三小将Rosario、Buxton、Sano都可能被取代、回3A练功,
他们目前都打很烂(也都还有选择权),也许这一着棋可以激起他们的危机意识。
Murphy, 34, spent last year with Cleveland and the Angels, batting .283 with
10 home runs and 50 RBI in 132 games. He spent spring training with Boston,
batting .265 in 15 games before being released on March 28.
34岁的Murphy去年在笑脸人跟天使出赛132场,有10轰、50RBI跟.283打击率
今年春训在红袜出赛15场,打击率.265,然后在三月底被丢掉。
The Murphy news comes on a day in which Twins manager Paul Molitor juggled
his lineup in hopes of breaking a season- opening eight-game losing streak.
双城打线今天有点更动,不过不知道对于止败有没有帮助?
