: It's fun to look at the list of non-tenders and try and figure out who could
: help the Red Sox. It was this market, after all, that produced David Ortiz
: back in 2003.
在自由球員名單裡頭挑看看哪個對紅襪有幫助還挺好玩的。
畢竟之前2003就是這樣撿到老爹這塊寶(David Ortiz)
: But Ortiz is the anomaly. While there are some good names on the list, you
: quickly figure out that Garrett Atkins is a product of Coors Field, Matt
: Capps gave up hits in bunches and Jack Cust is an all-or-nothing slugger.
不過要能撿到老爹這種等級的，應該算是中樂透。 XD
而最近的名單裡頭還有一些不錯的球員(這邊講的都是打者，此處略過)
: But there is a starting pitcher on the list who finished second in the Cy
: Young voting in 2006 and was 54-20 with a 3.79 ERA over the first 95 games of
: his career. This pitcher has experience in the AL East, made four starts in
: the postseason and is only 29.
: We're talking about Chien-Ming Wang, who was cut loose by the Yankees
: yesterday.
然後名單中還有一個先發投手，
06年賽揚獎投票第二名、生涯初賽95場就有54勝20敗，防禦率 3.79
曾在美聯東區季後賽投過四場先發，
而且現在才29歲而已!!
沒錯，這人就是王建民，昨天洋基決定放掉的投手。
: Wang was one of the best starters in the American League until June 15, 2008
: when he tore a tendon and ligament in his right foot while running the bases
: in Houston. He missed the rest of that season and was just awful when he
: returned in 2009, going 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA. He suffered a shoulder injury on
: July 4 that required surgery and hasn't pitched since.
2008/07/15之前在美聯他是最好的先發投手之一
後來在休士頓比賽的時候跑壘受傷，
剩下季賽都沒法出賽，一直到2009年終於能初賽的時候，
結果投得很慘，1勝6敗防禦率9.64。
後來07/04又肩傷動手術，然後就沒上場投過球了。
: Full disclosure: Sam Borden, Mark Feinsand and I wrote a biography about Wang
: that was published in Taiwan a few years ago. Because of that, I got to know
: him fairly well and have followed his career closely.
幾年前Sam Borden, Mark Feinsand和我一起寫過「沉默的王牌」，
所以我對他很熟悉，而且從那時候就一直注意他的情況。
: Based on my conversations with Wang, I believe the foot injury led to the
: shoulder injury. When Wang reported to spring training last season, the
: Yankees would not allow him to run as part of his conditioning. The strength
: in his legs, which helped him throw a 95-miles-per-hour sinker, vanished and
: the shoulder injury was the result of trying to compensate.
之前我有跟他談過，而我覺得他的腳傷是導致肩傷的原因。
他春訓的時候洋基以腳傷為由禁止他跑步，
結果讓他有95mile的下盤整個弱掉，然後肩膀為了彌補球速，投久就受傷了
: Now that the shoulder is repaired, Wang is hopeful of returning to the majors
: by late May or early June. Shoulder injuries are tricky and this is the
: second time Wang has needed surgery. But if he can come back to even 80
: percent of what he once was, he would be a helpful piece.
那既然肩膀復健快好了，他有希望能在五月底或者六月初上場。
肩傷成因其實都蠻複雜的，而且他還開了兩次刀。
但若他能復原到原本80%的功力，就已經是可用之材。
: Then there this: Wang is not leaving the Yankees on particularly good terms
: and would be motivated to prove them wrong.
: Wang was 19-7, 3.70 in 2007. But the Yankees took him to an arbitration
: hearing the following February, refusing to split the difference over a mere
: $600,000. When the club won the hearing, team president Randy Levine put out
: a press release boasting about it.
其實如果洋基給的條件夠好，小王也不會想離開，
只是既然已經這樣了，那小王應該也會很想證明洋基做了錯誤的決定。
2007年他投出19勝7敗，3.70自責的好成績，
但洋基為了區區60萬美金的薪資，還是不惜走上薪資仲裁庭。
: Wang resented that at the time and still does. Wang reportedly turned down a
: split contract from the Yankees and according to Fox Sports, there are
: already six teams showing interest in him, including the Cardinals.
: The Red Sox would be smart to take a look. Wang would love to stay in the
: Northeast, there's a Taiwanese community in the area and he would welcome the
: chance to pitch against the Yankees.
那時候小王就很不爽了，一直到現在應該都還在不爽…
而且根據報導，王建民先前拒絕了洋基的「非正式大聯盟合約」
(該合約保證一旦建仔完全恢復健康，會自動轉成一個大聯盟的合約)
然後Fox體育台也說已經有六隊MLB隊伍在向小王招手了。
紅襪最好仔細考慮考慮，
因為王建民應該很想待在美聯東區，
那邊有台灣同鄉會，而且他應該很想要給老東家顏色瞧瞧。
: As the Red Sox go looking for rotation depth, Wang is somebody who could be
: ready when they need him.
紅襪想增強輪值深度的話，那小王應該是再適合不過的人選。
