The New York Times Hughes Is Back; Velocity Is Lacking 休斯回来了, 但缺乏速度. By TYLER KEPNER Published: August 28, 2007 DETROIT, Aug. 27 — As he watched Phil Hughes pitch Sunday from his home in Connecticut, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman noticed that Hughes was not throwing as hard as usual. His fastballs were averaging 88 to 91 miles an hour, Cashman said, when they should have been 91 to 93. Cashman说: Hughes星期天并没有像往常一样用力投球, 快速球只有88-91. 他应该能投91-93. “I don’t know why,” Cashman said. “It’s our job to continue to look and see if there’s anything mechanically. He could still be just building arm strength from being down for so long. "我不知道为什麽." Cashman说. "我们要研究看看是不是动作上有什麽问题. 在受伤那麽久後, 他要慢慢重建他手臂的 力量." “It’s starting to improve, though. His last two outings, he’s been popping a few more high-velocity fastballs. But he’s got more arm strength than he’ s shown lately. He’s not coming at hitters with his full ability yet.” "不过一切开始在改善中. 最近两次先发, 他已经有投出比较有速度的快速球." "但是他的手臂力量应该要比我们最近看到的还要好. 他还没展现他所有能力." Hughes has a 6.11 earned run average in five starts since coming off a three-month stay on the disabled list for hamstring and ankle injuries. He gave up four hits in six innings in Sunday’s loss, but three of the hits were home runs, two on fastballs. Hughes从DL回来的成绩: 五次先发, 6.11 ERA. 他星期天被打了三支全垒打, 其中两支是打他的快速球. Manager Joe Torre said he was not concerned about Hughes’s velocity. The radar gun readings in the ballpark, Torre said, were lower than the ones he noticed on the Tigers’ telecast when he went in the clubhouse during the game. Torre说他不担心Hughes投球的速度. Torre注意到球场上的测速枪显示的数字比电视转播上的要低. Hughes said: “There was life on my fastball yesterday. I thought it was good. I was getting some swings and misses and a lot of foul tips and stuff like that. I’m always working on building my arm strength back, but it’s not something right now where it’s really bad.” Hughes说:"我昨天的快速球有活力. 我觉得它很好. 有很多人挥空或打成界外." "我一直在努力让手臂力量回来, 不过它现在也不是非常糟糕." SURGERY FOR BRACKMAN Starter Andrew Brackman, the Yankees’ No. 1 pick in the June draft, had reconstructive elbow surgery last Friday, Brian Cashman said. The Yankees signed Brackman for a guaranteed $4.5 million on Aug. 15, and determined he needed surgery after his first few workouts in Tampa, Fla. Brackman的手术 Cashman说:第一选秀Brackman上星期五动了手肘重建手术. “We knew there was certainly a possibility when we signed him, but we had to wait and see,” Cashman said. “If everything goes right, he could be pitching in rehab games in August of ’08.” "我们签他的时候就知道他有一定的机率要动手术, 但我们要等看看." Cashman说. "如果一切正常, 他在2008年8月就可以开始投复健赛." Brackman is one of several Yankees pitching prospects who have had Tommy John surgery, which has a lengthy rehabilitation period but a high rate of recovery. Humberto Sánchez, the top prospect acquired in the Gary Sheffield trade last November, is playing catch again after his surgery in April. Brackman是洋基数个动过Tommy John手术的prospects其中一个, 复健期很长,但成功率很 高. Humberto Sánchez四月动手术, 现在已经在进行投补练习. Sheffield was placed on the disabled list by the Tigers on Monday with a sore right shoulder. It is uncertain if he will return this season. Sheffield星期一又进了DL. 不确定今年会不会再回来. AN OFFENSIVE LINEUP Jason Giambi started at first base Monday for the second game in a row, and Johnny Damon started in left. Joe Torre would rather not play Giambi in the field, but he conceded the need for more thump in the order. “Offensively, this is probably our best lineup,” Torre said. Damon went 1 for 3, and Giambi was 0 for 3. 一个进攻的先发阵容 Giambi星期一连续第二场在一垒先发. Torre宁愿不要把Giambi放在野手位置, 但他承认先发阵容需要大棒子. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 有错烦指正 谢谢! --
