http://0rz.tw/7e4MH Lee, Harden, Quentin top Comebackers Lee、Harden、Quentin是本季东山再起的佼佼者 The Major League road more traveled is seldom smooth and clear. It is full of speed bumps, potholes -- and trap doors. 漫长的大联盟之路很少一路顺畅，而是充满了颠簸和陷阱。 Every year, numerous players fall through them, for various reasons. Injury. Performance regression. Emotional bankruptcy. 每年，大量的球员因各种原因表现下滑，例如受伤、退化、情绪失控。 Some don't resurface, free-falling into private life. Others summon the drive and dedication that made them pro athletes in the first place, and author impressive returns. 有些人无法重新振作，就此退出舞台。其他人则重新奋起，力图成为最佳的运动员， 并写下令人难忘的再起。 Modern sports medicine has turned "comeback" into part of the routine. Players, particularly pitchers, regularly undergo get-well regimens they know will keep them shelved for sometimes more than a season, then enable them to return perhaps better than new. 现代运动医学已经将「复出」变成例行公事的一部分。球员，特次是投手，经常地 历经将会使他们超过一个球季无法出赛的治疗及复健，然後使他们复出之後甚至能 比全新的(身体)还好。 Not coincidentally, the Comeback Player of the Year Award became the newest official entry in the display case when Major League Baseball formally launched it after the 2005 season. 非巧合，MLB在2005年设立了最新的官方奖项－年度东山再起奖。 According to the award's basic guidelines, the honor is bestowed upon a player in each league who "re-emerged on the baseball field" during the season. 根据这个奖项的基本方针，此奖将颁给两联盟各一位在本球季再度有好表现的球员。 For purposes of this preview, a collective nod to those who persevered and let inner faith light their paths, our interpretation is that means reclaiming prior stature -- whatever the source of the drag. 这个预览的目的，对於一群坚忍不拔，并且坚持心中信念以照亮前方道路的球员们， 我们的解释是那表示重新回到之前的水准，不论当初下滑的原因为何。 (翻的狗屁不通，这句好困难啊......Orz 前面不重要，请直接跳到後面吧...) We present each league's top five candidates, in alphabetical order. 我们介绍两联盟的五位最佳候选人，按字母顺序排列。 AMERICAN LEAGUE 美联 Justin Duchscherer, A's: Limited to 16 innings last season by right hip problems that eventually required surgery, the 30-year-old former reliever resurfaced as an eye-popping starter. The man who made 188 consecutive relief appearances from 2004-07 took a turn leading the league in ERA, and remained in contention for that title until that hip problem resurfaced in late August. 运动家Justin Duchscherer：上一季因为右边咖噌(髋关节?)的问题需要动手术，最终 只投了16局，这位30岁的前RP复出成为一位亮眼的先发。在2004-07连续188场後援登 场的他，直到八月底咖噌的问题复发前，还在美联ERA榜上不时居於领先地位。 Cliff Lee, Indians: From 5-8, and barnstorming starts up and down Cleveland's farm system, to 21-2 and the favorite's role in the Cy Young Award race? Comebacks don't come bigger or more inspirationally than that. And it is a comeback in the truest sense of the word, considering the lefty had been 32-16 in 2005-06. 印地安人Cliff Lee：从5胜8败，而且上下游走大小联盟，到21胜2败，而且在赛扬奖 竞争上处於最有希望的位置？没有比这个更另人震撼及激励人心的东山再起了。如果 再考虑到这位左投在2005-06球季共拿下32胜16败，这是一个真正符合字面意思的 「东山再起」。 Carlos Quentin, White Sox: He was the D-backs' Golden Boy in '06, when he broke into The Show with four homers and nine RBIs in his first seven games. But last year, between a perceived lack of discipline at bat and a bum shoulder, Arizona soured on him and virtually gave away the current AL home run leader. Quentin recently fractured his right wrist and is trying to return before the end of the season. 白袜Carlos Quentin：当他在前七场比赛交出4只HR和9分打点，他是06年响尾蛇的 Golden Boy。但去年，因为无法掌握好球带和肩膀疼痛，响尾蛇对他感到失望，最终 放弃了这位美联的全垒打领先者。Quentin最近把自己的右手腕弄骨折了，并试着在 球季结束前回到球场。(还有机会吗？) B.J. Ryan, Blue Jays: Four innings into his '07 season, his left elbow popped and he was a ligament-replacement patient. He has reclaimed his '05-'06 status as the game's premier southpaw closer, and most recently has been front-and-center in Toronto's late-season drive. The Jays are 25-3 in his last 28 appearances. 蓝鸟B.J. Ryan：在07年投了4局，他的左手肘发出爆裂声，然後就等着换韧带了。 他已经回到05-06球季身为比赛中最重要的左CP时的状态，且最近在蓝鸟的季末冲刺 中扮演重要角色。蓝鸟在他过去28次登板拿下25胜3败。 Ervin Santana, Angels: He wasn't able to get out of the fourth inning in seven of his 26 starts last season, when his struggles reached all the way down to Triple-A. In '08, he has gone seven-plus innings in 16 of his 29 starts, while shaving more than a run off his previous career ERA. But he definitely had a history to recapture -- witness his 16-8 record for his sophomore '06 campaign. 天使Ervin Santana：上一季他26次先发中有7场无法投超过4局，他的挣扎使他降到 3A。在08球季，他在29场先发有16场投到7局以上，ERA比生涯平均低了超过1。但是 他的确有个过去要重现，他06球季以二年级生拿下16胜8败。 Honorable mention: Rocco Baldelli, Rays; Carl Pavano, Yankees; Juan Rivera, Angels. 其他值得一提的球员：光芒Rocco Baldelli、洋基Carl Pavano、天使Juan Rivera (没想到Pavano也被提到，是因为他在谷底太久了吗 = =?) NATIONAL LEAGUE 国联 Jody Gerut, Padres: His return from a three-year battle with a right knee injury has been one of San Diego's few bright spots. He was limited to 16 at-bats with the Indians in '05, and sat out both of the ensuing seasons. Now he is second on the Padres with a .297 average, again showing the power and clutch bat that had made him one of the American League's top rookies in '03. 教士Jody Gerut：他与右膝伤势奋斗3年後的复出是教士本季少数的亮点之一。05年在 印地安人只有16打数，然後接下来两个球季都当了观众。现在他0.297的打击率在教士 排第2，再度展现了他03年美联顶尖新秀之一时的力量和关键打击。 Rich Harden, Cubs: He began his comeback from a three-year injury siege in Oakland, and, except for the occasional timeout, has continued it on Chicago's North Side. After various ailments -- back, shoulder, elbow -- limited him to a total of five wins in '06 and '07 combined, he already has 10 this season and his 23 starts are 10 more than he'd totaled in the past two seasons. 小熊Rich Harden：他的复出从在奥克兰3年的浑身伤势开始，除了少数时间，在芝加 哥时也持续维持这个状态。在许多的治疗－包括背部、肩膀、手肘－使得他在06和07 球季总共只拿到5胜之後，他本季已经拿到10胜，而且他本季23场先发比过去2季总和 还要多10场。 Gabe Kapler, Brewers: In a sport that has had many player-managers, the last being Pete Rose, Kapler is the first manager-then-player. He'd retired following the '06 season to manage in Boston's system -- which only convinced him that playing is more fun. And the ever-popular outfielder has made a smashing return, as Milwaukee's fourth outfielder putting up his best numbers (.301, eight homers, 38 RBIs) since '01. Kapler was recently diagnosed with a torn right latissimus muscle, but may try to play through the injury. 酿酒人Gabe Kapler：在一个许多球员退休後转教练的运动中－最近的一位是Pete Rose －Kapler是唯一一位当了教练又回来当球员的选手。他在06球季後退休并且在红袜系统 中任教，这使得他确信打球还是比较有趣的。而这位持续受欢迎的外野手有一个非凡的 复出，身为酿酒人的第4号外野手，他的数据(打击率0.301、8HRs、38打点)表现是自从 01年以来最佳的。Kapler最近被诊断出右阔背肌撕裂，但是或许会试着带伤上阵。 (这会不会太神奇了 <@@>) Chan Ho Park, Dodgers: His '07 Major League season consisted of one start for the Mets, in which he was shelled for seven runs over four innings, and he knocked around the Minors the rest of the time. Park has re-emerged with his original club -- he made his big league debut with the Dodgers in 1994 -- as a tireless setup guy, with an ERA of 2.95 in 46 games. 道奇朴赞浩：他的07球季由1场在大都会的先发组成，在4局内炸了7分，然後之後就在 小联盟流浪。朴赞浩在他最初的球队复出－他1994年在道奇大联盟初登板－成为一位 耐操的setup，在46场比赛中ERA 2.95。 Kerry Wood, Cubs: Bowing to a litany of right arm problems, Wood, a long way from the tall Texan with the 20-strikeout game, has reinvented himself as a successful closer. He will approach his total number of appearances from '04-'07, and his 29 saves have freed Ryan Dempster to flourish in the rotation. 小熊Kerry Wood：受困於连串的右肩伤势，已经不是单场20K的高大德州人的Wood， 以一位成功的closer再出发。他将要接近他04-07年的总出场数，而他的29次救援成 功使得Ryan Dempster在轮值中尽情发挥。 Honorable mention: Mike Lincoln, Reds; Fernando Tatis, Mets 其他值得一提的球员：红人Mike Lincoln、大都会Fernando Tatis --
