The New York Times With His Bat, Abreu Is Making a Case to Stay Abreu用他的棒子制造了留下来的理由 By TYLER KEPNER Published: August 12, 2007 CLEVELAND, Aug. 11 — At the end of May, it seemed preposterous to think that the Yankees would pick up Bobby Abreu’s $16 million option for next season. The team was struggling, and Abreu was batting .228. 在五月, 如果你认为为洋基会执行Abreu明年的选择权-------这是可笑的想法. 球队在挣扎, Abreu的打击率只有.228. Now, with the Yankees surging and Abreu helping lead the way, the idea does not seem so outrageous. Abreu said he would rather stay than become a free agent, and if he keeps hitting this way, he may get his wish. 现在, 洋基战绩持续攀升和Abreu帮忙带领大家, 这想法就不会那麽令人吃惊了. Abreu说他宁愿留下来, 而不是成为自由球员, 如果他棒子继续那麽烫, 他会完成他的愿望. “I want to stay here, of course,” Abreu said. “I like it here. I like New York. They’ve been treating me good. Let’s see what’s going to happen. I just have to keep playing my game and helping the team win.” "我当然希望留在这里." Abreu说. "我喜欢这里. 我喜欢纽约. 他们一直对我很好. 让我们看看接下来会怎样. 我会继续努力打好球帮球队赢球." Abreu hit .353 in July with 29 runs batted in, the most he has ever had in a month. With two more on Saturday, Abreu has 78 R.B.I. this season, and has driven in 43 runs since July 1, the most in the majors in that stretch. Abreu七月打击率是.353, 29分打点----他有始以来最多的一个月. 再加上星期六又打了2分打点, Abreu本季已打出78分打点, 7月1以来他已经打出43分打点---这是大联盟最多的. “If you see right now, I’m hitting the ball all over the place,” Abreu said. “I don’t really pull the ball to right field. I pull it when I have to pull it, but most of the time, I’m hitting it up the middle or the other way.” "如果你现在有在注意, 我将球打到球场的每一个地方." Abreu说. "我不是只有将球拉到右外野. 当我需要拉打的时候, 我会拉打, 但大部份时候, 我会将球 打到中间或另一边." Abreu has also settled into the third spot in the order, just ahead of Alex Rodriguez. He said it had helped him get better pitches to hit, and by getting on base and wearing pitchers down, he in turn has helped Rodriguez. Abreu已经适应打第三棒, 在A-Rod之前. 他说这会帮助他有较好的球打, 而透过上垒和削弱投手, 他回过头又帮了A-Rod. “I didn’t want to say that I didn’t feel comfortable in other spots,” Abreu said. “But that’s the spot I’ve been hitting in all my career.” "我不想说, 我在其他棒次会感到不舒服." Abreu说. "但这是我职业生涯一直在打的棒次." After hitting in six different spots through July 12, Abreu has batted only third ever since. 到7月2日, Abreu已经打过六个不同的棒次,7月2日之後他只打第三棒. A REST FOR CHAMBERLAIN Joba Chamberlain pitched two innings of relief Friday, which means that he will not pitch again until Monday. The Yankees have devised strict guidelines to limit the use of Chamberlain, who is still seen as a starter for the long term and is finishing his first professional season. CHAMBERLAIN休息一下 Chamberlain星期五後援投了两局, 这代表他下星期一才有可能再上场. 洋基对Chamberlain的使用有严格的规定, 球队长期来说规划他成为一个先发投手, 他还在完成他的第一个职业球季. Manager Joe Torre said Chamberlain would receive two days off every time he pitches two innings, and one day off after other appearances. Torre说: Chamberlain如果投两局就会休息两天; 投一局就会休息一天. Although Torre has been known to change bullpen plans on the fly, he said that Chamberlain would not work on consecutive days. 虽然Torre以牛棚计划多变闻名, 他说他不会连续两天使用Chamberlain. FARNSWORTH’S FALL Entering Saturday’s game, Kyle Farnsworth had pitched in 3 of 9 games in August. Once the eighth-inning reliever, he has clearly fallen on the depth chart despite a talk with Joe Torre in which Torre said he would give him regular work. FARNSWORTH的坠落 在星期六的比赛之前, Farnsworth在八月的9场比赛中上场3次. 曾经一度是第八局後援投手, 尽管Torre告诉他会让他固定上场, Farnsworth在球队的地位 很明显地日渐下降. “It is what it is,” Farnsworth said. “I’ve just got to stay ready myself. I stopped trying to think along with managers years ago. It never works. You have an idea when a situation comes up, but if it doesn’t, it doesn’t, and if it does, it does.” "事实就是这样."Farnsworth说. "我只要自己让自己准备好. 我很多年前开始就不与总教练一起想这件事. 这行不通. 当场上有状况发生时, 你会想要上场. 如果教练不要你上场, 你就没办法上场. 如果他要你上场, 你就上场." Asked how he would define his role, Farnsworth said: “Your guess is as good as mine. But whatever to help this team win. We’re playing well, and that’s what the main goal is.” 被问到如何界定他的角色, Farnsworth说:"你跟我一样会猜测. 不管是什麽角色, 只要会帮助球队赢球就好. 我们最近打的很好, 这是我们最重要的目标." Farnsworth has a 4.76 earned run average in 48 games and has only 31 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings. Farnsworth在48场比赛里有4.76的ERA, 在45.1局里只有31次三振. SKIPPING CLEMENS Joe Torre said he would skip Roger Clemens this time through the rotation, with Jeff Karstens likely to start in Clemens’s place Tuesday at home against Baltimore. Kei Igawa started Saturday for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, so he is not a candidate. 跳过CLEMENS Torre说他这次先发轮值会跳过Clemens, Karstens可能会在下周二取代Clemens先发. 井川庆星期六在3A先发, 所以他不会是下周二先发候选者. Clemens is serving a five-game suspension for throwing at Toronto’s Alex Rios last week, and Torre said he preferred to keep Clemens pitching after Andy Pettitte. That would put Clemens on track to start Saturday at home against Detroit. Clemens在进行五场的禁赛, Torre说他较倾向让Clemens在Pettitte之後先发. 这会让Clemens预定在星期六在主场先发面对老虎. STIFF NECK SIDELINES POSADA Catcher Jorge Posada was out of the lineup for the second game in a row, on the advice of team trainers. But he said his stiff neck was feeling better. “You don’t want to mess with the neck too much,” Posada said. “I’m a little limited in movement to the left, but it’ s a lot better than it was.” 僵硬的脖子让Posada无法上场 基於训练员的建议, Posada连续两场没有上场. 但Posada说:他的脖子感觉好一点了. "你不想太粗暴地对待你的脖子." Posada说. "我的脖子不太能够左转, 但现在状况好很多了." Posada said he woke up with the stiff neck in Toronto on Monday, but he played that day. He said he believed he hurt himself further on a foul tip. Posada has been remarkably consistent this season, batting .338 through Friday to rank fifth in the American League. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last Yankees catcher to finish in the top 10 in batting was Thurman Munson, who ranked 10th in 1978 with a .297 average. Posada说他星期一在多伦多醒来脖子就僵硬了, 但那天还是上场. 他相信一颗界外球让伤更严重了. 洋基上一位在打击前十名的捕手是1978年以.297打击率排名第十的Thurman Munson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 有错烦指正 谢谢大家! --
