6.CC Sabathia, LHP, age 37
Career: 237-146, 3.70 ERA, 60.7 bWAR
2017: 14-5, 3.69 ERA, 2.8 bWAR
Historical comp: Mike Mussina
Sabathia's case could end up acting as a litmus test in regards to how voters
judge starters of an era where starters were asked to do less than ever
before. And his rebound season in 2017 may help sway voters who, before last
season, considered him on the short side of the Hall of Fame bubble.
Sabathia的案例正好可做为投票者如何评断先发投手的一个测试,尤其是现在对于
先发投手的要求不像以前那么多.而他谷底反弹的2017年球季,刚好可以帮助他,在最后
个球季之前,让那些觉得他不足以入选名人堂的人,改变主意
7.Chris Sale, LHP, age 28
Career: 91-58, 2.98 ERA, 37.1 bWAR
2017: 17-8, 2.90 ERA, 6 bWAR
Historical comp: Juan Pizarro
There really isn't a great historical comparison for Sale. He throws like
Randy Johnson, but enjoyed much more early-career success. He ranks like
Johan Santana in similarity score, but hasn't won a Cy Young or an ERA title.
Four of the next nine most statistically similar pitchers are active, and two
that aren't were right-handed.
At age 28, Sale still lacks the prestige of a Cy Young Award or an ERA crown.
But he does have two strikeout titles and the best career strikeout-to-walk
ratio ever among qualified starters. A little more hardware, and his resume
may start to stack up among some all-time greats.
没有什么好的例子能跟Sale做比较的.他跟Randy Johnson很像,但是他早早成名.他的成绩
跟Johan Santana很像,但是从没赢过赛扬奖或是防御率王.九个跟他数据相像的选手中,有
四个还是现役球员,然后又有两个退休球星是右投
28岁的他,现在还缺少了赛扬奖或是防御率王的殊荣,但也赢过两次三振王,而且生涯的
三振四坏比是所有有资格的投手中最好的.再多些不错的表现,他的履历上就能够开始与
那些历史上伟大的球员相提并论
8.Giancarlo Stanton, OF, age 28
Career: .268/.360/.554, 267 homers, 35.1 bWAR
2017: .281/.376/.631, 59 homers, 7.6 bWAR
Historical comp: Juan Gonzalez
After his high-voltage 2017 campaign, Stanton now owns two league home run
titles, an MVP Award, four All-Star selections and two Silver Sluggers. He
still has a ways to go to reach Cooperstown, but consider his chances to
reach some of baseball's biggest power benchmarks.
Stanton is signed for the next 10 seasons. Over that time, he'll need to
average just 23.3 home runs per year to reach 500 and 33.3 per year to reach
600. And if you really want to dream … 43.3 per year to reach 700.
他在2017高质量的表现之后,Stanton现在拥有两座全垒打王,一座MVP,四次入选明星赛以
及两次银棒奖.他离古柏镇还有很长一段路要走,但是考量到他很有可能达到生涯全垒打
榜的前几名.
Stanton的合约还有10年要走,这十年间,每季平均23.3支全垒打就能达到500轰,33.3支全
垒打,就能达到600轰,如果想得再多一点,一年43.3支全垒打就有700轰惹
9.Justin Verlander, RHP, age 34
Career: 188-114, 3.46 ERA, 56.6 bWAR
2017: 15-8, 3.36 ERA, 6.4 bWAR
Historical comp: Dwight Gooden
It's possible Verlander checked the final box on his Hall of Fame resume in
2017: A World Series championship. What else does he have to prove? Verlander
now owns a ring, a Cy Young Award, an MVP Award, a Rookie of the Year Award,
two wins titles, two no-hitters, an ERA crown, three innings-pitched and four
strikeout titles, and the reputation as the most dominant and durable power
pitcher of his generation.
Verlander's candidacy for Cooperstown looked murky as recently as two winters
ago, when he followed two subpar seasons with an injury-plagued year. But
after two redemptive seasons in the third act of his career, Verlander looks
as likely as ever to be eventually enshrined. The new hardware should help,
too.
在2017年,Verlandere在他的名人堂履历表上的最后一项打勾:世界大赛冠军.他还需要
证明什么吗?Verlander有冠军戒,赛扬奖,年度MVP,新人王,胜投王两座,两次无安打比赛,
一座防御率王,有三个球季投最多局数,四座三振王,让他赢得了在他的世代,最具宰制力,
最耐投的速球派投手的名声
两年前,Verlander进入名人堂的机会看起来很混沌不明,尤其在他投了两个非常普通的球
季后,甚至有一年饱受伤势困扰,但是在这两个球季后,Verlander看起来恢复到那种最后
会进入名人堂的表现.而他新的2017美联冠军战MVP奖杯也大大地帮助了他.
10.Joey Votto, 1B, age 34
Career: .313/.428/.541, 257 homers, 54.8 bWAR
2017: .320/.454/.578, 36 homers, 7.5 bWAR
Historical comp: Jason Giambi
Votto commands the strike zone better than any hitter since Barry Bonds, and
this season, those on-base skills brought him within two measly points of his
second NL MVP Award. By the time Votto's name appears on the Hall of Fame
ballot, the voter pool will likely look past the question that's trailed
Votto throughout his career: Does he drive in enough runs?
Still, Votto will be a fascinating case when compared to others enshrined at
his position. Votto is the game's premier on-base machine in an era that
values getting on base above all else. His career .428 OBP is tied for eighth
all-time with legendary slugger Jimmie Foxx. But he's driven in only 830 runs
over 11 seasons. How will he compare to, say, Hall of Fame first baseman
Frank Thomas, who reached base at a similar clip but also hit 344 home runs
with 1,183 RBIs over his first 11 years in the league?
Votto对于好球带的掌握是自从Barry Bonds之后最好的,这个球季,他的上垒技巧,让他以
小小的两分之差,与第二座MVP失之交臂.当Votto拥有名人堂票选资格的时候,大家很有可
会想着一个追着Votto一整个生涯的问题:他的打点数够多吗?
然而,跟其他同位置的优秀选手比,Votto的表现仍是非常吸引人的.在一个上垒率至上的时
代中,Votto是首屈一指的上垒机器.生涯.428的上垒率跟传奇球星Jimmie Fox并列第八,但
他11个球季来,只打进了830分打点.这样的他,要怎么跟名人堂球星Frank Thomas比,
Frank Thomas的上垒能力跟Votto差不多,但是在他的前11个球季就击出344支全垒打,以及
打下了1,183分打点.
