Putz on the Mariners - 美國職棒

今天 Seattle Times 的記者 Larry Stone 有篇和 JJ. Putz 的訪談

當被問及對前隊友們的看法時，Putz 說道：

"There were just some guys that just aren't really team guys. There's a lot
of guys that are team guys in there. There was definitely some butting heads
on certain things. What the hell can you do? Some guys are just stubborn."

大意就是說，他認為在水兵隊裡，有些人並沒有團隊精神。
JJ並沒有指名是誰。但當被問到前隊友 Ichiro時，他說：

"It's hard to argue with 200 hits every year, and a lifetime, what, .320
hitter. I just think there's so much more he can do that
doesn't happen. I would have liked to have seen him take more chances on the
basepaths. It seems like he was only going to steal a bag when he was
absolutely sure. I don't think he even realizes how good he is at stealing
bags.

"I don't know. Two-hundred hits isn't easy, and to do it eight straight
years, it's hard to argue. You can't really knock the guy for his work ethic.
His routine is ridiculous. Everything is the same every single day. I mean,
he's prepared to play. But ... " (就沒講下去了)

簡單的說，就是Putz 覺得 Ichiro 雖然很厲害，每年都可以打出二百安、三成以上的BA
但他並不願意配合隊上作的更多的事，譬如盜更多的壘等。

雖然這也不是我們第一次聽到Ichiro和隊友處不好的新聞，但每次聽到還是覺得很疑惑。
JJ對Ichiro 的看法，其實跟雞蛋裡挑骨頭差不多。
到底隊友們為何跟Ichiro處不好，也許要等到未來有人寫 The Mariners Years
我們這些球迷們才可能看明白。

不過可以確定的是，新任教頭的艱難任務之一，就是好好的把這隊伍裡團結起來
才有可能重現水兵的榮光吧！
