節錄關於郭的部分

From 2002-05, Honeycutt was the Minor League pitching coordinator during a
time when new scouting director Logan White drafted the nucleus of the
current pitching staff -- Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton, Scott Elbert
and James McDonald. Honeycutt also worked in the Minor Leagues with Hong-Chih
Kuo and Ramon Troncoso.

.....中間數段省略.....

Perhaps Honeycutt's most important achievement in communication came in 2005,
when he convinced management not to release Kuo, whose repeated arm problems
limited him to only 44 innings in his first five seasons. Kuo is the only
current Dodgers pitcher who was on Honeycutt's first Opening Day staff in '06.

"I'm most proud of Kuo," said Honeycutt. "In '04, a lot of people were ready
to give up on him. The next Spring Training, it was a battle to keep him
here. I put my reputation on the line for him in a bunch of meetings to say,
give me this year with him. People thought he'd continue to be hurt. I had
injuries in my career. My belief was the ability was still there and he only 
had to get healthy. And I was hard on him that year. I had to find out if
there was validity to what was being said. He actually had injuries."

感謝Honeycutt慧眼識英雄全力相挺Kuo啊!!
