[外電] Wang would be an intriguing possibility

[baccara (surrealist)]

彼得胖喜歡建仔相信是大部份人都知道的事... 就算他跑到boston.com還是一樣

昨日他在波士頓報中發表了一篇建議紅襪應該向建仔招手的一篇報導(台灣的新聞有提到部

份內容)

剛才特地看了一下，果然內容如此(還放了Wang大大的一張照片)，但令人訝異的是國外紅襪鄉民大部份的回應竟是贊成...(當然也有說NO的)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As the Red Sox go looking for rotation depth, Wang is somebody who could be
ready when they need him.
