Based on how well Williams did last year (.281, 12 HRs, 61 RBIs in 420 ABs) when he played more than expected due to injuries to Gary Sheffield and Matsui, he would likely be a contributor off the bench if used as the fourth outfielder and occasional DH.

• 在了解威廉斯去年有多好(打数420，打击率0.；281，12支全垒打，61分打点)的情形下，他在松井秀喜和雨刷伯受伤后表现超出预期，他可以在板凳中担任第四号外野手和临时的DH。
