推 shawshien:突然覺得Garza和大Z有點相像 都很熱血 都上過情緒管理課 11/16 12:46
Thursday was Matt Garza Day for the Cubs.
Early in the day, the team medically cleared the highest-paid pitcher on the
staff to start a ``normal’’ offseason throwing program following a
scheduled scan on the inflamed elbow that sidelined him since July.
Later, team announced the signing of backup catcher Dioner Navarro to a
one-year contract ($1.75 million) – Garza’s catcher in Tampa Bay for three
seasons that included a World Series and a 15-win season.
It also included a publicized dustup between the pair in 2008 that started
with an argument on the mound and included another confrontation in the
dugout caught on camera.
It was a moment in the young pitcher’s career that Garza said ``embarrassed’
’ him, angered his manager, Joe Maddon, and led to temper-management
counseling that coincided with a career turnaround.
Garza, who’s arbitration eligible and under club control through next
season, was shut down from throwing since being diagnosed with a ``stress
reaction’’ in the elbow with two months left in the season.
Upon being cleared to start getting ready for spring training, he tweeted
Thursday: ``I’m cleared for takeoff!! Strap it on tight cause we are going
on one helluva ride. …’’
He finished the tweet with three hash-tagged words: ``getitdone,’’
``freedom,’’ ``2013.’’
