http://ppt.cc/iRFt If the Arizona Diamondbacks are to contend for the NL West crown this season, they must pursue a trade for Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price. 蛇蛇明年想夺冠,最好去追Price Most would assume the club would not be hesitant to call up top prospect Archie Bradley if the team's recently injured No. 1 starter, Patrick Corbin, requires surgery. But as stated in a piece I wrote the March 19, the Diamondbacks should refrain from calling up Bradley until at least September. 虽然大部分人认为蛇蛇会在Corbin宣布要动手术之後毫不犹豫的call up阿漆,但笔者3/19 的文章认为蛇蛇应该要在9月前避免叫上阿漆 There are other options, of course, like bringing up another minor leaguer. They could also sign a free agent like Barry Zito or Jeff Niemann. They're not the most fantastic options, but they are options nonetheless. 有其他替代方案,叫上其他农作物,签FA ex.Zito或Niemann,这都不失为一个选项 Here are three reasons why the Diamondbacks should pursue David Price. 这里提供三个应该要追Price的理由 Patrick Corbin Will Be Missed Corbin会缺赛 Although Corbin stumbled down the stretch last season, he was still one of the reasons the Diamondbacks were in the running for the division title. 虽然去年季末表现跌跌撞撞,但Corbin是蛇蛇能竞争分区龙头的重要原因 Without Corbin, the pitching staff is almost certain to struggle, especially considering the division they play in. Wade Miley showed flashes of becoming an ace in 2012 but saw his ERA, WHIP and walk total rise in 2013. Trevor Cahill has not been the same pitcher he was in 2010, when he earned an All-Star appearance. 没有Corbin蛇蛇轮值会很惨,尤其考虑到他们的分区,妙丽在2012看起来像是ACE,但是ERA, WHIP,保送在2013都提升,而Cahill不是2010那个明星投手 Then there is the back end of the rotation. 然後是後段轮值 Bronson Arroyo has a career ERA over four and is an innings-eater more than anything. With Corbin out, Randall Delgado may become the fifth starter. He is just 10-17 with a 4.09 ERA in three seasons with the Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves. 工作马Arroyo生涯防御率高过4,可能成为五号的Delgado过去三季只有10胜17败4.09ERA的 成绩 It is hard to bet that the team can improve on back-to-back 81-81 seasons without Corbin. It needs a guy who is capable of winning 20 games—something no other pitcher in the current rotation has done. 没有Corbin,蛇蛇大概很难比去年进步,他们需要一个能拿20胜的投手,轮值中没有人做得到 Price’s Contract Price的约 Acquiring Price from the Tampa Bay Rays could hardly be called a rental. He still has one year of arbitration remaining and isn’t a free agent until after the 2015 season. 拿到Price不是只是租而已,还有一年仲裁年,2015後才会是FA Price’s contract will earn him $14 million this season. That is hardly a deal that breaks the bank, considering Bronson Arroyo’s contract is worth $9.5 million this season. Price is worth much more than what he is getting paid this season. Price今年拿14M,这不会让蛇蛇破产,而且Arroyo都能拿9.5M了,那Price可以拿比14M更多 Plus, if Arizona does turn out to be a long-term option for Price, the Diamondbacks will have the money to extend his contract. Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported in January (h/t SB Nation) that the team is working on a new television deal that would bring in around $90 million per year. 蛇蛇的确有能力长期留住Price,Ken Rosenthal的报导指出蛇蛇的新电视合约一年价值90M Corbin isn’t available for arbitration for another two years. The club’s biggest contracts for the 2014 season are $11 million for Aaron Hill and Martin Prado. Corbin还有两年才进仲裁,今年最大的两笔钱是Hill跟Prado的11M The Diamondbacks have already spent $30 million or so this offseason. What's $14 million more for Price? 蛇蛇季末已经花了30M,为了Price多花14M不会怎样 The Future Rotation 未来的轮值 The Diamondbacks would potentially have one of the best rotations in baseball, not just the division. 蛇蛇可能会有全联盟最好的轮值 The front of the rotation would begin with Price as the ace, followed by Bradley, and finish with Corbin. That sounds like a tough three-game stretch for any team, let alone the offensively lacking NL West. 前段有一号Price,再来是阿漆和Corbin,这对任何一队都会是不好打的三场比赛,更不用说 是国西 Even going from No. 5 in the rotation back to the top would prove difficult for opposing teams. Imagine facing the finesse-style pitching of Bronson Arroyo one day and taking on Price’s power pitching the next. 就算是五号也不好惹,想像今天面对技巧派的Arroyo明天要对刚猛的Price Aaron Hill, Paul Goldschmidt, Miguel Montero and Martin Prado are all under contract until at least 2016. Combine the pitching staff with that offensive core and you have a pretty solid baseball team. Hill,Goldy,Miggy,Prado都至少会待到2016,结合这样的轮值和进攻核心,你有一只不错的 球队 If general manager Kevin Towers wants to stay in Phoenix past next season, this is a deal he needs to start pursuing. 如果KT明年还想留在凤凰城,他必须搞定这个交易 -- Pollock 2014 Arizona Diamondbacks 亚利桑那响尾蛇 Trumbo Parra Corbin Zigeler Bradley RHP B.P.#1 B.A.#1 Gregorius ◇ Hill Miley Thatcher Owings SS B.P.#2 B.A.#3 Prado ◇ ◇ Goldschmidt Arroyo Collmentor Shipley RHP B.P.#3 B.A.#2 ◇ Cahill Putz MartinezRHP B.P.#4 B.A.#6 Montero Delgado Reed Blair RHP B.P.#5 B.A.#5 --
