http://ppt.cc/6jvP For D-backs, open competition to decide who closes 提到牛棚和官网新闻,再来欣赏一篇官网头条的文章吧! SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When he was dealt to the D-backs in December, the first text Addison Reed received from one of his new teammates was from J.J. Putz, the man who figures to be Reed's principal competitor for the closer role. "I've been there," Putz said. "I know how hard it is coming to a new place. I really appreciated, when I got traded to New York, David Wright was the first guy that called." The role of closer is one of the few spots on the pitching staff that seems to be up for grabs this spring, with Reed, Putz, Brad Ziegler and David Hernandez all possible candidates. Putz held the role in 2011 and '12, and again last season before an elbow injury landed him on the disabled list and robbed him of the necessary arm speed when he returned. That opened the door for Ziegler, who took over just before the All-Star break and finished the year with 13 saves in 15 opportunities. There was no tension in the Arizona clubhouse last year over Putz's demotion, as he and Ziegler are friends and supportive of one another. Make no mistake, though, Putz, who turns 37 this month, wants to win his job back this spring. "I definitely want to close, but that's going to be something for Hark and Gibby and everybody to decide," Putz said, referring to pitching coach Mike Harkey and manager Kirk Gibson. "I'm really focused on right now, getting the work in on the mound, staying healthy and the rest will take care of itself." Reed, who was 40-for-48 in save opportunities for the White Sox last season, is also determined to pitch the ninth. "Obviously everybody knows I want to close," the 25-year-old Reed said. "That's the only thing I've ever wanted to do." Ziegler enjoyed his time as closer last year, and would of course like to do it again, but he knows that given his ability to get ground balls he might be more valuable coming into games in the seventh or eighth inning, with men on base. "Kind of by default I kind of became the guy for a little bit," Ziegler said. "Even last year when I was closing, I didn't care what my role was." For his part, Hernandez suffered through a miserable 2013. This spring is about a fresh start and a clean slate. "As far as I'm concerned I'm just trying to get people out at this point and whatever inning that ends up being, I'm just going to try and get three outs," Hernandez said. "I'm just going to try and keep it simple." Gibson plans on easing the quartet into the competition this spring and he has reminded each of them that he does not want them trying to impress early in camp. Instead, Gibson wants them focused on getting their arms into shape, and given the elongated camp due to their Australia trip, there will be plenty of time and games to sort out roles. The temptation to show what he can do is likely strong for Reed, who knows the coaching staff is less familiar with him than the other candidates. "I just want him to get comfortable here," Gibson said of Reed. "I don't want him to try and impress anybody. We'll have him on a program, it's well thought out." Even though they both want to close, Putz and Reed say they won't have a problem if they are put in different roles. "I'm glad they are at least giving me the opportunity and I'm going to do everything I can to win that job when the time is appropriate to win that job," Putz said. "If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. The bottom line is just getting to the playoffs and see what happens." Said Reed, "I'm here and whatever they have me do is what I'm going to do. As long as I'm out there throwing, I'll be a happy guy." 本季CP竞争者人选上季表现: Putz: 去年从DL回来,明显投得...呃...BJ4 Ziegler:明星赛前因为Putz太不符合预期取得CP的地位,季末通算15次机会成功了13次 Reed :这个冬天从白袜换来的,去年40-48 看起来还不错,不过查了一下资料ERA 3.79 Whip1.11,飞球型投手71.1局被夯6支全垒打,来到同样有利打者的chase field 不知道表现如何 ,但他是竞争者里面最年轻的,只有25岁 Hernandez: 2013 miserable QQ 看来是竞争力最弱的一位了 CP竞争者们的表态: Putz: 我当然想关门,不过还要看投手教练和Gibby的决定,Zieler和我是好朋友, 他抢了我的工作我不生气,新球季我的目标只有Focus! Ziegler: 我很会制造滚地球,所以可能会被再7或8局垒上有人的时候叫上来QQ Reed: 我很想关门! 但是他们起码给了我竞争的机会,我很高兴,不关门也没关系 Hernandez: 我也想关门!可是对新球季我现在的目标就是要解决3打者!哪一局上来没关系 听听教练怎麽说: Gibby : 我不希望他们春训激烈竞争,不用想要力求有令人印象深刻的表现, 我只想要他们保持手臂的健康,保持舒服,保持状态这样就好了 (但是Reed是新来的,大家比较陌生,可能会竭尽所能让大家认识他) ___________________________________________________________________________ 嗯...我猜本季应该还会是Ziegler 当CP 除非Putz回春, 那就有可能是Putz Reed放中继的可能性比较大 不才随便整理的,勿怪!勿怪! --
