Cherington今年的決策(依優良度排名)

http://0rz.tw/JdEWq

13. Acquired Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt from the Pirates for Mark
Melancon, Jerry Sands, Ivan DeJesus and Stolmy Pimentel.

Hanrahan並不是Cherington成功計畫的一環，投沒幾場就GG了。「或許」跟2012年一
樣，Melancon今年的表現也許是fluke─不過這點不會讓交易看起來好一點。

12. Acquired Matt Thornton from the White Sox for Brandon Jacobs.

交易Jacobs是個無風險的舉動(Rule V Eligible)，不過Thornton也沒有穩下來，沒
達到接替Miller的效果。

11. Signed Ryan Dempster to a two-year, $26.5 million contract.

跟預期的差不多─穩定吃局數的工作馬。季末的表現讓大家忘了Lester季中走鐘那段
時間中，Dempster的重要性其實是很高的。

10. Acquired Jake Peavy and Brayan Villarreal from the White Sox and
Tigers for Jose Iglesias and three minor-leaguers.

雖然Peavy在下半季的表現不錯，但是紅襪交易他的最大目的是季後賽─但是他在季
後賽沒拿出大家所期待的表現。

Peavy在ALDS第四戰還是很不錯，這季還有交易價值。

9. Signed David Ross to a two-year, $6.2 million contract.

季賽沒有打出符合期待的成績，還因為腦震盪缺席大半季─但是在WS大放異彩。

8. Signed Jonny Gomes to a two-year, $10 million contract.

對part-time球員來說有些貴，也沒有如預期般的輾爆左投。不過他大大的影響了球隊
的氣氛，也在季後賽當過英雄。

7. Signed Mike Napoli to a one-year, $5 million contract with incentives
to $13 million.

如預期般的砲瓦+耐心。三振太多？可以原諒啦。

6. Signed Shane Victorino to a three-year, $39 million contract.

這筆飽受批評的約打爆大家的臉，雖然因傷缺賽1/4季賽+兩場WS，他的防守跟打擊都
很棒，是球隊的MVP之一。

5. Re-signed Craig Breslow to a two-year, $6.25 million deal with club
option.

最穩的RP之一，在這個長度和價碼都上漲的RP市場中，你應該為已經提前綁住Breslow
感到高興。

4. Acquired Mike Carp from the Mariners for cash considerations.

Carp不是影響力很大的球員，不過他提供了優渥的深度，甚至在這些時間中繳出
.900 OPS的成績─而且幾乎沒花甚麼代價就挖到了。(傳說中的CP值爆表？)

3. Extended Dustin Pedroia with an eight-year, $110 million contract.

佛心！

2. Re-signed David Ortiz to a two-year, $26 million contract with
incentives to $29 million.

去年最熱門的話題之一，以結果來看是雙贏局面。

1. Signed Koji Uehara to a one-year, $4.25 million contract with a vesting
option for 2014.

就連Cherington也不敢保證上原明年還能繳出一樣的成績，不過這張約真的賺到了。


11. Ben Cherington表示XB站游擊還是站三壘「是尚未決定的」，「我們有很長的時間可
以觀察、決定。」

「但是不難看出他已經準備好迎接大聯盟了。」


12. Cherington：Buchholz的休賽期是「很一般的休賽期」，不會有任何醫療方面的限
制。


13. http://0rz.tw/WlMyS 七題、21個訪問者(GM, 助理GM、球探...)

換約的表現： Jacoby Ellsbury 8 vs. 12 秋信守

"He may be tougher than people give him credit for, but he is fragile," a
National League executive said.

"Choo is such a well-rounded player," an NL scouting director said. "He'll
hit .280, walk 100 times, and he'll hit 20 home runs and steal you 20
bases. Ellsbury can do some things to change a game. I just think Choo
will probably hold up best over the course of the deal."

4. Could Trumbo be a fit in Boston?

Speculation is rampant about the Angels trading Mark Trumbo and Peter Bourjos
to fill the gaps in their young pitching. But one GM asks, “what is Trumbo’
s real market value? He is 27, he has a career .299 on base percentage.”
This season he had a .294 with 184 strikeouts while hitting 34 homers and
knocking in 100 runs. When it was suggested that the Red Sox could trade one
of their young pitchers for Trumbo rather than committing three years to Mike
Napoli, one Boston official said, “that on base is scary for us. We’ve
worked hard to build back that patient, grinding hitting approach, and I’m
not sure Trumbo works for us.” Boston has shown interest in Carlos Beltran
and he has ties to the Red Sox, but how many games he can play in left field
and the notion of having him at 37 and David Ortiz at 38 in the same lineup
is something that will be debated.

很多人在說天使可以拿Mark Trumbo & Peter Bourjos換年輕投手。不過一位GM問：「
Trumbo真正的交易價值多少？27歲、生涯.299 OBP，今年34 HR、100 RBI但是.294上壘率
+184K。某位紅襪人士談到不用三年約簽Napoli改拿年輕投手換Trumbo─「上壘率可怕了，
而我們積極重建的耐心、跟投手磨的打球哲學不合。」

紅襪對Carlos Beltran也有興趣，不過Beltran能站外野幾場，然後兩位過37的球員在同
一個打線上好像不是那麼的好...。

Nice to see Gammons squash those Trumbo rumors. Trumbo is Middlebrooks with
opportunity and without the premier position defense.


17. 據信紅襪正在獵後段局數牛。


18. Bora$：Drew可以拿四年。


19. Napoli在水兵的雷達中。

21. Cherington表示他不會在冬季會議上談交易。
--
聽說目前談的最勤的是Napoli。

It's official. I hate fantasy football
