隨手亂翻，有錯誤請指正 /bow

: Chin-hui Tsao made a case for a spot in the Dodgers bullpen in spring
: training, but the club didn't have room for him on the roster.
: Two call-ups and more than a month later, Tsao is making a case to stay.
: The Taiwanese reliever has become an intriguing story of the young
: season for the Dodgers, who have leaned heavily on pitching to stay atop
: the National League West.
曹春訓時在道奇隊便表現亮眼，可惜當時球員名單沒空。
開季後一個月，經曆兩次被叫上大聯盟，曹要靠著他的表現留在那。
這個台製後援投手成了道奇本季初的秘密武器 -- 這隻球隊靠著他們的投手群，
目前在國聯西區居首位。

: Tsao stretched his scoreless-innings streak to 10 2/3 Wednesday and has
: allowed just one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts in nine
: appearances. None of the 10 base runners he has inherited has scored,
: and that has enhanced Tsao's chances to continue in the middle-relief
: role played last season by Giovanni Carrara.
曹週三將他的連續無失分場次推到了 10 2/3 局；在這九次出場中，他丟出兩次
保送，七次三振，只被打了一隻安打。他上場時壘包上總共有 10 位跑者，沒有
一個回到本壘得分。而這也使得曹競爭 MRP (短中繼) 更加有利 -- 去年是由
Giovanni Carraga 負責的。

: "All he does is get people out," Manager Grady Little said of Tsao.
: "That's what we're looking for in our pitchers, especially out of the
: bullpen."
Grady Little 老大說 "他殺人乾淨厲落，這正是我們在找投手，特別是蹲在牛棚
裡那群傢伙時的首要條件"

: Originally tabbed to be Colorado's closer, Tsao was handpicked by
: General Manager Ned Colletti after Tsao had missed most of the past
: three seasons because of shoulder and arm injuries. He missed all of
: 2006 to recover from shoulder surgery but has flourished since he signed
: as a free agent Feb.1.
曹本來會變成老科的終結者，但在他因肩臂傷而三季無法出賽後，被 GM Ned
Colletti 撿了回來。曹在術後復健中渡過 2006 球季，但在 2/1 以自由球員身
份被簽下後表現得相當威猛。

: Tsao changes speeds with his fastball and mixes in a breaking ball and
: changeup. Catcher Russell Martin says Tsao also has intangibles.
: "He's just aggressive," Martin said. "He throws a lot of strikes, and he
: makes the guys swing the bat. He's done a really good job (with)
: situations. You need a ground ball, he'll get a ground ball, and he has
: the capability of striking guys out. He's been awesome."
曹能夠利用他的直球，變化球，以及變速球造成不同速差。補手 Russell Martin
則認為還有更強大的咒力存在。Martin 說 "曹相當的具侵略性；他能投出好球，
並讓打者揮棒。他能在各種不同的情況下，做好他的工作。當你需要滾地球時，
他能讓打者擊出滾地球。他也有能力將打者三振。他真猛"

: Little is cautious because of Tsao's arm history and is limiting his
: workload.
然而 Little 在玩曹的時候會仔細注意工作量，因為曹的手臂曾受過傷。

: "We're going to be careful with him not to abuse him any, but the way
: he's going right now there's nothing I would like more than to be able
: to put him out there three or four innings at a time," Little said. "But
: it wouldn't be good for him, and it wouldn't be good for us in the long
: haul."
Little 說 "我們會注意不要太操他的。以他目前的表現，我實在很想讓他上去一次
丟個三四局。然而這對他不會有好處，而以長程來看，對我們也沒有。"

: Tsao acknowledges how far he has come from last year. His early success
: has warranted a permanent spot, but he doesn't take anything for
: granted.
曹對自己在去年的際遇感到感激。他之前的表現使他成為眾所矚目的焦點，
但他從不認為這些事情是理所當然的。

: "I just try to be myself," Tsao said through an interpreter. "I try to
: do my best. I respect all the decisions the manager or club make. No
: matter what, I just want to do my best."
曹透過翻譯說 "我只是試著當我自己，盡力表現。我會尊重教練或球團的決定；
不論決定為何，我都會盡全力。"

 (不太了解他指的是被 non-tender 的事，還是如果 LAD 要將他下放點點點)

: NOTES
: Hong-Chih Kuo allowed two hits with seven strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings in
: his second rehabilitation assignment Wednesday night for triple-A Las
: Vegas. Yhency Brazoban gave up two hits and a run and blew the save. ...
: Little tipped his hat to the NL West, which is the only division in the
: majors with four teams above .500.
: "There's a lot of teams that are not looking forward to playing the
: National League West this year," he said.
郭週三在 3A Las Vegas 進行復健賽，投了 2 1/3 局，被打兩隻安打，三振七
人。Yhency Brazoban 被打兩隻安打丟一分，吃了 BS。
Little 對國聯西區的球隊表示敬意；該區是目前唯一有四隻球隊勝率超過 0.5 的
分區。他說 "有很多球隊不太希望今年打的是國聯西區"
