一般說來，二月第一天不是棒球標題的誕生日。到那時，家喻戶曉的焦點早就降溫為
悶燒而欲滅的灰燼，絕大多數球團早就決定春訓名單，運動版則是超級盃的天下。

就在這種隱密的氛圍下，道奇簽下一位名為曹錦輝、右投的後援投手。

當時，這舉動根本是錦上添花，因而球團甚至沒正式發佈消息，相反地，道奇正確地
認為沒人會關心這件事，僅以電話通知幾位當地的記者。

球團提出40人名單，而曹－－由於他威力強大的料，兩年前科羅拉多教練
Clint Hurdle將他加冕為終結者－－在肩膀手術後幾乎兩年的空白下，被洛磯隊宣告
為戰力外。

長話短說，曹得找個工作。

而坦白講，道奇也沒想要什麼。

「他在科羅拉多時我就很喜歡他了，」道奇的GM Ned Colletti說道，「當我看到尚
無約在身的球員名單時，我知道他的手臂還是活會。我想如果他在這個年紀還健健康
康的，我們確實該把握這位25歲的選手。我叫（球員部主管）DeJon Watson緊盯著他
，他們就弄了個約。我告訴DeJon把這傢伙弄到春訓營來，如果非要給他個大聯盟合
約，就給吧。」

道奇也真給了曹一年的大聯盟合約，但那份合約幾乎只在技術意義上是大聯盟合約。言
外之意是，它事實上是偶然包括進入40人名單的小聯盟合約，若他的健康與表現都達到
水準而讓他上了大聯盟，就付他42萬5千，而若兩者缺一或均無，則是12萬5千。目前為
至，從他在4月18日從拉斯維加斯的3A隊叫上來起，曹的健康足以讓他為道奇出賽9場－
－而他的水準，則是10.2局無失分，只被打出一支安打，一支由匹茲堡的Jack Wilson打
出的二壘安打。

「這真是太不可思議了，」道奇投手教練Rick Honeycutt說道，「這是個整整兩年
沒登板的傢伙。最主要的，他非常的殺，（在球數上）搶得先機。」

Honeycutt拿曹上禮拜在聖地牙哥的三連戰為例。





跟女朋友約的時間到了，下面回來再翻，或看誰要接手吧～

: On Saturday night, Tsao relieved Brett Tomko with runners on the corners
: and one out in the eighth and threw one pitch, getting two outs on the
: same rundown after Rob Bowen bounced back to the mound. After he got two
: first-pitch outs and one strikeout in a perfect eighth, Tsao hadretired
: four batters and recorded five outs on a total of six pitches.
: In Sunday's 17-inning marathon, Tsao pitched the 10th and 11th. That
: day, he retired six consecutive batters on a grand total of 15 pitches,
: all with zero margin for error and at a point when one mistake would
: have been catastrophic.
: "They're not going to give you the ball as a closer unless you have good
: stuff," Honeycutt said. "But our main concern in spring training was
: making sure he was healthy. We didn't get a ton of chances to work him
: on back-to-back days and see how he responded, but we liked what we saw.
: "He had a tendency in spring training to kind of toy with the first
: batter he faced, but I think he was feeling for his slider. He knew it
: was his key pitch and that he would be throwing a lot of those. But once
: he got that going, he showed great command."
: When the Rockies first called up Tsao in 2003, he became the first
: Taiwanese pitcher to reach the majors.
: As such, he took on something akin to rock-star status in his homeland.
: But his shoulder problems began to surface early the next season, and
: even though he got through 2004 well enough to enter the next year as
: the Rockies' closer, he wound up having arthroscopic shoulder surgery
: May25, 2005.
: Tsao's rehabilitation wound up taking longer than anyone thought it
: would, and there were whispers coming from the Rockies' camp that it was
: taking far longer than it should. For whatever reason, the club declined
: to retain him.
: With free agency now thrust upon him, Tsao was left twisting for much of
: the winter, with only a minor-league offer from Kansas City.
: Tsao was close to signing that deal when the Dodgers suddenly stepped
: in, offering a roster spot.
: Less than three months later, on April 18, Tsao returned to the majors.
: Fittingly, he did so against the Rockies, a 1 1/3-inning stint in which
: gave up no runs and no hits, and sent a clear message - to the old team
: that gave up on him, the new team that took a chance on him and his
: adoring fans back in Taiwan - that he still was a viable big-league
: pitcher.
