昨天正好看到这篇有趣的文章 所以简单的翻译一下
The Red Sox and Cubs built two of baseball's best teams in similar fashion.
They mostly used homegrown hitters to fortify their lineups and trades and free
agents to construct their pitching staffs.
红袜跟小熊的建队方针相当类似 打线依靠自己的农场 投手则是依靠交易跟FA
Boston drafted its stellar outfield of Andrew Benintendi, Mookie Betts and
Jackie Bradley Jr. and signed Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers
internationally. Chicago parlayed its 2011-15 first-round picks into Javier
Baez, Albert Almora Jr., Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Ian Happ and found
Willson Contreras in Venezuela. The Red Sox's projected playoff rotation and
closer all came via trades (Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, Rick Porcello,
Craig Kimbrel) or free agency (David Price), as is true with the Cubs (free
agent Jon Lester and trade acquisitions Kyle Hendricks, Cole Hamels, Jose
Quintana and Pedro Strop).
红袜Benitendi, Betts及JBJ都是选秀 Devers, Boagerts则是国际球员签约
小熊Baez, Almora Jr., 老大, Schwarber, Happ是选秀 Contreras是国际球员签约
两队的轮值跟牛棚则大多依靠交易跟自由球员
Despite the similarities between Boston and Chicago, there's no set blueprint
for putting together a playoff club. The Rockies lead all off the postseason
clubs with 12 homegrown players on their projected 25-man roster, while the
Athletics have just four. Oakland tops them all with seven free-agent signings,
while the Dodgers have just two. The A's, Brewers and Yankees each swung deals
for 14 of their players, while Colorado picked up just five players in trades.
尽管红袜小熊建队方式相近(Theo影响?) 其余的季后赛队伍则有不同的方式
落矶是全部季后赛队伍使用农场养出来最多的一队(12人) 运动家则只有4人
运动家是全部季后赛队伍靠FA来组队最多的一队(7人) 躲人则只有2人
运动家 酿酒人 洋基靠交易14人来调整队伍 落矶则只有5人
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how each of the playoff teams was built,
based on projected Division Series rosters, which will be set prior to the
beginning of each series:
A's
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 4 (WAR: 16.5)
Draft: 4 (WAR: 16.5)
International: 0 (N/A)
Free Agents: 7 (WAR: 5.6)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 25.3)
The four homegrown players on the A's projected roster is the fewest among
postseason teams. They're all products of the Draft, a group highlighted by
2014 first-rounder Matt Chapman, who's emerged as baseball's best defensive
third baseman and a franchise cornerstone for the A's, and 2012 comp pick Matt
Olson. Together, the duo combined to hit 53 homers and 75 doubles during the
regular season. Trades in recent years for players such as AL home run leader
Khris Davis (2016 from Brewers), Marcus Semien (2014 from White Sox),
Jed Lowrie (2015 from Astros) and Stephen Piscotty (2017 from Cardinals) have
helped the A's fill out a potent offense, and the same can be said for the
club's elite bullpen trio of Blake Treinen (2017 from Nationals), Jeurys
Familia (2018 from Mets) and Fernando Rodney (2018 from Twins). And while
season-ending injuries ultimately shelved much of their Opening Day rotation,
the A's managed to effectively patch holes with free-agent veterans Brett
Anderson, Trevor Cahill and Edwin Jackson and then acquired Mike Fiers from the
Tigers in August.
运动家自己养出来的作物只有4个是全季后赛队伍中最少的(全部都是选秀) 其中包含了
Chapman. 而交易成功的有16年来的KD 14年来的Semien 15从来的Lowrie 17年来的
Piscotty 这几位球员扛起了打线 交易来的Treinen 全家 软泥则建起了铁牛棚
虽然伤兵让他们开季的轮值砍了大半 但靠着自由球员签约跟交易算是补起了洞
Astros
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 10 (WAR: 26.0)
Draft: 8 (WAR: 18.5)
International: 2 (WAR: 7.5)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 7.8)
Trades: 8 (WAR: 16.9)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: 2.0)
Rule 5 Draft: 1 (WAR: 2.5)
Four of the best players on the defending World Series champions were taken
with a No. 1 or 2 overall pick in the Draft: Astros draftees Carlos Correa
(No. 1, 2012) and Alex Bregman (No. 2, 2015) and blockbuster trade acquisitions
Justin Verlander (No. 2, 2004, Tigers) and Gerrit Cole (No. 1, 2011, Pirates).
By contrast, Houston also has a former MVP and a former Cy Young Award winner
who vastly exceeded expectations in Jose Altuve, signed for $15,000 out of
Venezuela in 2006, and Dallas Keuchel, a seventh-rounder two years later.
George Springer, a 2011 first-rounder, also was on hand when Jeff Luhnow took
over as GM later that year. In addition to overseeing the Correa and Bregman
drafts and making the Verlander and Cole deals, Luhnow made a number of
smaller acquisitions that have paid off such as plucking Marwin Gonzalez in the
Rule 5 Draft, claiming Collin McHugh off waivers and signing Charlie Morton
as a free agent.

Indians
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 7 (WAR: 19.8)
Draft: 5 (WAR: 15.6)
International: 2 (WAR: 12.1)
Free Agents: 5 (WAR: 11.0)
Trades: 12 (WAR: 13.0)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: -0.5)
The Indians' secured their third straight AL Central title in 2018 with a
largely unchanged roster compared to previous years. Homegrown phenoms
Francisco Lindor (first round, 2011) and Jose Ramirez (international free
agent, '09) are MVP candidates once again and headline an Indians offense that
also features free-agents signings Edwin Encarnacion ('16) and Yonder Alonso
('17). On the mound, trade acquisitions Corey Kluber (2010), Carlos Carrasco
('09) and a combination of Trevor Bauer ('12) and Mike Clevinger ('14) give the
Indians a top-flight rotation, and the club dealt a top prospect for bullpen
help for a second time in three years when it landed Brad Hand and Adam Cimber
from San Diego at the Trade Deadline and then acquired Josh Donaldson from
Toronto the following month.

Red Sox
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 10 (WAR: 22.2)
Draft: 8 (WAR: 18.4)
International: 2 (WAR: 3.8)
Free Agents: 4 (WAR: 13.3)
Trades: 11 (WAR: 19.9)
With a notable free-agent exception (J.D. Martinez, David Price) in each case,
the Red Sox have compiled the best record in baseball and won their third
straight American League East title with a lineup built around homegrown
hitters and a pitching staff assembled through trades. MVP frontrunner Betts
was a fifth-round pick in a 2011 Draft that also yielded supplemental first-
rounder Bradley, while Benintendi was a 2015 first-rounder and Bogaerts signed
for $410,000 out of Aruba in 2009. President of baseball operations David
Dombrowski sacrificed top prospects to acquire Sale and Kimbrel, who have
starred in Boston. Previous GM Ben Cherington dealt for Rodriguez and Porcello
when the Red Sox were rebuilding.

Yankees
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 8 (WAR: 22.8)
Draft: 4 (WAR: 11.7)
International: 4 (WAR: 11.1)
Free Agents: 3 (WAR: 4.0)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 24.2)
The Yankees' best hitter (2013 first-round choice Aaron Judge) and best pitcher
(Luis Severino, signed out of the Dominican Republic for $225,000 in 2011) are
homegrown products. Yet for the most part, trades are the backbone of a team
making its third postseason appearance in four years. The Giancarlo Stanton
deal was a splashy move that generated a lot of headlines, but GM Brian Cashman
also has excelled at making stealth moves for the likes of Aaron Hicks (from
the Twins in exchange for John Ryan Murphy), Didi Gregorius (D-backs for Shane
Greene), Chad Green (Tigers for Justin Wilson) and J.A. Happ (Blue Jays for
Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney). And in a rare year where the Yankees were
sellers and not buyers, they grabbed Gleyber Torres in a package from the Cubs
for Aroldis Chapman in 2016.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Braves
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 7 (WAR: 21.0)
Draft: 3 (WAR: 7.3)
International: 4 (WAR: 13.7)
Free Agents: 6 (WAR: 8.1)
Trades: 11 (WAR: 13.9)
Waivers: 1 (WAR: 0.2)
The Braves' rebuild went into overdrive, getting them back into the postseason
for the first time since 2013 well ahead of schedule. The turnaround certainly
has some homegrown flavor, with international signees Ronald Acuna Jr. and
Ozzie Albies leading the charge and veteran Freddie Freeman the most key
draftee, taken way back in the second round of the 2007 Draft. But the best
talent acquisition has come via trade, often obtained while still in the Minor
Leagues. Former No. 1 overall pick Dansby Swanson is the most obvious example,
if healthy, though that list of acquired prospects also includes a standout
like Mike Foltynewicz, who had made it to the big leagues with the Astros in
2014, but established himself as a Brave in 2015, along with contributors like
Rio Ruiz, Touki Toussaint and Max Fried. A few seemingly quiet acquisitions of
established big leaguers, like Ender Inciarte (who came with Swanson from the
D-backs via trade) and Nick Markakis (free-agent signing) provided the
finishing pieces.
斧头帮的重建提早收到效果 Acuna Jr. Albies以及老将Freeman都是自家养成
不过漂亮的交易则是重建成功的关键 Swanson是最佳例子(蛇蛇:)
一些小交易都成功转化成战力
Brewers
Homegrown (Draft + Int'l): 5 (WAR: 15.2)
Draft: 4 (WAR: 15.6)
International: 1 (WAR: -0.4)
Free Agents: 4 (WAR: 5.4)
Trades: 14 (WAR: 14.8)
Waivers: 2 (WAR: 1.4)
In their first postseason appearance since 2011, the Brewers' roster could
feature more players (16) acquired via a trade or waiver claim than any other
playoff team. Christian Yelich, acquired from Miami during the offseason, has
been an MVP candidate, while slugger Jesus Aguilar has blossomed into star
slugger after being claimed off waivers from the Indians in February. GM David
Stearns added a host of upcoming free agents at the Deadline through deals for
veteran hitters such as Mike Moustakas (Royals), Jonathan Schoop (Orioles) and
Curtis Granderson (Blue Jays), lefty starter Gio Gonzalez (Nationals) and
relievers Joakim Soria and Xavier Cedeno (White Sox). The latter two help to
comprise a dynamic bullpen that includes fellow acquisitions Josh Hader
(Astros, '15), Jeremy Jeffress (Rangers, '17) and Corey Knebel (Rangers, '15).
Lorenzo Cain, the club's major offseason signing, should also garner some MVP
votes after an outstanding season
