這篇文章我覺得還挺有趣的
其實也道盡了為何現在正統洋基迷幾乎一面倒希望Wang留在輪值裡，而非Wright的理由

ps.小弟外文功力其實不佳，所以只能翻出大概的意思，大大們見笑了

In the offseason, the Yankees decided that carrying old injury prone
pitchers wasn't the way to build a team. So they decided to go young
and… injury prone. I won't really bore people with the details
regarding Jaret Wright's signing. What I will do though is give everyone
a running account of just how much money the Yankees wasted in signing
Mr. "never pitched 200 innings ever in a season" Wright.

在去年球季後，洋基瞭解到擁有一堆又老又傷的投手對未來的比賽將難以為繼，所
以決定要讓球隊年輕化以及....又傷又痛....。我就不再抨擊球隊簽下Jaret Wright
這件事了，我就讓大夥兒看看洋基在這個"從未一季投球超過200局"的老兄身上到底
浪費了多少錢。

The next few paragraphs will be a little backgrounder and comparison
with Wright and the man who replaced him. Towards the end, I’ll go into
the financial aspect and my running account of the foolishness of this
signing.

在接下來的幾段內容將針對Jaret Wright和取代他位置的Wang做一些背景上的說明
和比較。而最後，我將會從財務的觀點說明簽下Jaret Wright這件事是多麼的愚蠢。

We all knew Jaret Wright’s history. We knew that he was an oft-injured
pitcher that suspiciously had a career year under the great Leo Mazzone
and backed by Atlanta’s defense. That he would be moving to the marginal
at best Yankee defense and to Mel “destroyer of pitchers” Stottlemyre
we also knew.

（以下這段小弟其實不是很懂，心虛中...期待大大們指正一下...）

我們都知道Jaret Wright的過去：一個經常容易受傷的投手，在勇士隊投手教練
Leo Mazzone（有投手再生工廠美名!?）的指點及隊友的防守下再攀高峰。我們也知
道在洋基的堅強防線以及"投手終結者"Mel Stottlemyre的因素下，他若在隊中將會
被邊緣化。

We also knew that the Yankees’ highest level pitching prospect, Chien-Ming
Wang was ready. He of the 2.01 ERA 4 K/BB and 0.97 WHIP in AAA in 2004. Add
to that the fact that he dominated a very strong Japanese team in the
Olympics and most everyone agreed that he at least deserved a shot.

而我們也清楚洋基體系內最被寄予厚望的投手Chien-Ming Wang早已準備妥當。他2004
年在3A繳出防禦率2.01、K/BB值4，WHIP 0.97的成績；此外，在去年奧運時面對精銳
盡出的日本隊也有精彩的表現，使得絕大多數人都認為洋基至少應該給Wang一個機會。

But the Yankees signed Wright over other pitchers that were still available
and over promoting Wang. As I said, I won’t discuss what happened back
then but the repercussions of it. Wright started 4 games for the Yankees
in 2005 so far and produced a sparkling 9.15 ERA not even 5 IP per start
and an OPS against of 1.150. Yes, against Wright, everybody on average
became Barry Bonds.

但是洋基卻簽下了Wright而捨棄了其他可能的候選人，也放棄了將Wang拉上大聯盟。
我已經說，我不想再評論這個決定，我們直接來看看現在的結果為何。Wright今年到
目前為只總共先發四場比賽，平均每場比賽撐不超過五局，繳出被上壘率1.15、防禦
率9.15的「耀眼」成績。沒錯，在Wright的面前，所有的打者看起來都像Barry Bonds
一樣的威猛。

When he inevitably went down with a shoulder injury, the Yankees were left
with no recourse but to promote from within, and up came Wang. In 5 starts,
Wang has gone 33 innings, basically a little over 6 IP per start, and an
OPS against of .667. Basically everyone on average became Tony Womack
against Wang. Wang has not given up a HR in his 33 innings. In Wright's
19.2 innings, he gave up 6.

當他如預料般的果真傷了肩膀進到傷兵名單後，洋基在別無他法之下，只有將Wang拉
上來。他的五次先發，至少都能投滿6局；而在33局的投球中，平均被上壘率為.667。
在Wang的面前，每個打者變成只是Tony Womack的等級。而且在Wang 33局的投球中，
沒有被敲出任何全壘打；Wright呢？在19.2局的投球裡裡，就被轟出了6支!!

For a little perspective (a quality start is a start where a pitcher goes
at least 6 innings and gives up less than 3 runs)

接著看看QS這個數據：（QS是指先發投手在至少6局的投球中，失分不超過3分）

Wang: 4 quality starts. Only one start with more than 3 ER, worst start 5
ER. At least 6 IP in every start.

Wang：有4次quality starts。只有一次先發時單場防禦率超過3，單場最差防禦率是5
，每次先發投球局數至少都投滿6局。

Wright: No quality starts. Only one start with less than 6 ER, worst start
8ER. Season high: 5.1 IP

Wright：沒有任何的quality starts。只有一場比賽防禦率低於6，最糟糕的一場比賽
防禦率高達8，本季最長先發局數是5.1局。

Jaret Wright will have a salary of $5.67 million this year (of a 3 yr $21
million contract). Assuming that the Yankees expect 30 starts from Wright
this year, he gets paid $188,889 per start. So, of the scheduled 9 starts
of Wright’s spot in the rotation, he has only made 4 of those starts,
getting paid $1.7 million in the process. That $1.7 million would have paid
for 5 Chien Ming Wangs.

Jaret Wright今年的年薪是567萬美元（是一紙3年2100萬美元的合約）。假設以洋基
期待他今年先發30場來計算，他每場先發可拿到$188,889元，依照原本的輪值，Wright
目前應該先發9場比賽，但他只完成4場，卻可以領到170萬美元，這個數目足足可以付
給五個王建民（還有找...）

For the 59 outs (19.2 innings) that Jaret Wright has given the Yankees, he
has been paid $1.7 million. Or basically, $28,813.56 per out.

洋基為了Wright先發19.2局裡造成的59個出局數，一共花了170萬美元，簡單來說，也
就是一個出局數要花掉洋基$28,813.56元。

For more perspective, During Wright’s horrible 4 inning first Yankee start
when he went against Baltimore, the 12 outs that he got in that game paid
him $345,000 which would have been enough to pay for Chien Ming Wang's
entire 2005 salary of $316,000 with some change to spare.

再進一步來看，（以上面的計算為基礎）當Wright本季可怕的第一次先發對上巴爾的摩
金鶯隊時，這4局一共12個出局數，花了洋基34.5萬（28,813*12=345,756），這已經足
夠支付Wang一整季31.6萬的年薪，而且仍然還有的找...

各位看倌，你們覺得如何呢??
