2009/3/5 - 美國職棒

1) http://0rz.tw/Lrujz Dodgers, Manny come to terms

道奇重簽 Manny，2009年 $25M + 2010年 $20M 球員選擇權

分4年或5年延後給付


2) http://0rz.tw/4C4ZN By the Bay

球團跟 Jason Bay 兩方雖然目前沒有就延長合約作實際的討論

但是不代表雙方在某些看法沒有共識

值得一提的是 Bay 的經紀人 Joe Urbon 明天將出現在春訓基地 Fort Myers

而 Urbon 同時也是齋藤隆的經紀人


3) http://0rz.tw/czwbR Drew to play Friday

Drew 說他會在週五回到打線上!

他從 Boston 帶回可體松(治療關節炎、風濕痛)在下背部作注射

Drew 輕描淡寫帶過在脊椎打針對他場上表現的影響

"Some of the stuff that was being written," Drew said, "I got kind
of a kick out of it. More than anything, it's just -- we were
talking about some of the residual stiffness I had throughout the
offseason, and really wished I could get rid of it. So I worked
with a chiropractor.

如果打藥注射的方法對於背部僵直沒效，他們會在想其他辦法


4) http://0rz.tw/r5YeH Lowell getting close

Terry Francona 說 Lowell 大約一週後可以在春訓熱身賽上場!

Lowell 在去年 10/20 做的屁屁手術 (A-Rod 加油!XD)

當時預計要4到6個月復原，如今已過了4個半月

"I don't know that it's unrealistic, I wouldn't be surprised if
it's in another week," Francona said. "We're getting into that
area now where, maybe DH a couple at bats, then play third. I'll
bet you we're getting close to where it'll be within a week.

"He's doing good. He's doing fine. He's running the bases. Every
step he's supposed to do, he's done. I think his worry is getting
in a game, playing third, maybe a night game. We'll do our best
to ease him in where he gets comfortable, baseball-wise."


5) http://0rz.tw/K19cF Spring Training: Kotsay progressing

Mark Kotsay 感覺很好並正在復健中

Kotsay 在1/29做了背部椎間盤手術，原先鎖定5/1回到場上

但是根據 Francona 的說法 Kotsay 很積極的復建

已經可以作大幅度的動作

"He's doing really well," said Francona. "You can see him getting
stronger."

In the meantime, Jeff Bailey, Chris Carter, Paul McAnulty and
Brad Wilkerson are all battling for Kotsay's spot on the roster.

Spring Training: Smoltz's return could be sooner

原訂6/1復出的 John Smoltz，現在劇本要改一下了

Francona 昨天早上說過去三天以來 Smoltz 的狀態非常好

去年6月肩膀手術後的復建情形也非常好

球團給的進度不會加快，但是仍有機會看到 Smoltz 提前復出

"If he's ready to pitch we're not going to hold him back," said Francona.

"It's going to end up being pretty close."
