[新聞] Break up the Phillies

[a1982213 (世風日下)]

Several teams, including the Yankees, are scouting Yomiuri Giants power hitter
Seung-Yeop Lee, the biggest slugging star from the World Baseball Classic, who
leads the Central League with 26 home runs and a .646 slugging percentage. Lee'
s a free agent at year's end. According to one scout, "He's good but not quite
as good as [Hideki] Matsui.''

While Yankees manager Joe Torre said the other day he'd prefer obtaining an out
fielder rather than a pitcher, GM Brian Cashman -- who, believe it or not, actu
ally appears to still be calling all the shots -- puts pitching first. One big
reason is the decreased production from Shawn Chacon and Aaron Small. The pair
is a combined 4-7 with a 7.30 ERA this year, compared to 17-3 with a 3.02 ERA l
ast season.

Carl Everett should be available soon. When Everett screamed at Seattle manager
Mike Hargrove for benching him the other day, rather than shout back Hargrove
should have pulled out a stat sheet which shows Everett hitting .232 and sluggi
ng .373.

 It's nice to see the rebuilding Nationals outbidding teams for Dominican short
stop Esmaily Gonzalez at $1.4 million. The Nats are also pursuing Tony Pena's s
on Francisco, who is seeking $1 million and has also drawn interest from the Me
ts, Cubs and Braves.

While Mets top prospect Mike Pelfrey will surely be in Queens before long, Phil
ip Hughes, the Yankees' No. 1 prospect, will not be rushed. One scout said, "He
reminds me of a young John Smoltz.'' But Cashman flatly said, "He's not going
to be in the majors this year.''

Yankees fans may find fault with Alex Rodriguez, but A-Rod's popularity is str
ong enough to get him onto a Wheaties box. The deal will be announced next week
at the All-Star Game in Pittsburgh.

Jose Canseco's conspiratorial claim that Major League Baseball knew that Rafael
Palmeiro had failed a steroid test but still helped Palmeiro try to discredit
Canseco by staging his congressional finger-wagging episode has no merit. Not o
nly that, it also makes no sense. Canseco failed to explain how conspiring with
Palmeiro would benefit baseball. The fact is, it wouldn't. Anyway, Palmeiro fa
iled his test two months after doing his finger-wagging thing, in May 2005.

Canseco didn't help his contention that he's being blackballed by MLB by going
0-for-3 with three strikeouts for the San Diego Surf Dawgs, then demanding a tr
ade immediately thereafter. Could it be that the reason he no longer has a big
league job is he's old, washed up and a pain the rear?

Sacrifice of the year goes to Barry Bonds' trainer Greg Anderson, who's back in
jail.

從棒球版轉過來的。似乎洋基想要把李承燁挖過來的樣子？(墾請眾位高手翻譯)

這些人從未在高水平的競爭環境中待過一天，
你看了一輩子球，
並不代表你就知曉棒球比賽的精髓
