[新聞] Igawa's rights go to Yankees

[richertkk (黃家大少)]

NEW YORK –
  After missing out on star Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka earlier this
month, the Yankees made sure not to let history repeat itself when Kei Igawa
became available via the posting system.
  在本月初在於爭奪松板大輔的競賽中出局之後,洋基要確定要再井川宣佈競標之後,不要
讓歷史再發生一次,

 Major League Baseball announced on Tuesday night that the Yankees had won the
rights to the Japanese left-hander, who has pitched the past eight seasons for
 the Hanshin Tigers.
  大聯盟官方在禮拜2宣佈,洋基取得和井川,這位來自日本阪神虎隊的左投手,談合約的權
利.

  Published reports put the winning bid between $25-$26 million, which is
roughly half of the $51.1 million it cost the Red Sox to acquire the rights to
 Matsuzaka. The Yankees would only pay Hanshin if they sign Igawa to a contract
. ]
一般相信,競標價格大約在2500~2600萬美元之間,這大概是紅襪競標松板所出的5110萬美元
的一半,而洋基只有在和井川簽約之後,才需要付給阪神虎隊這筆競標金.

  "We have been following Kei Igawa's very successful and accomplished career
in Japan," general manager Brian Cashman said in a statement. "We are excited
about the opportunity to begin the negotiating process with him."
“我們知道井川在日本聯盟時間,有非常好的並且成功的職業成績.”球團總經理Brian
Cashman說到.”我們很高興有這個機會能和井川談談和他簽約的機會.”

  Yankees owner George Steinbrenner released a brief statement from his home
in Tampa through his spokesman, Howard Rubenstein.
洋基的大老闆George Steinbrenner在他家表示了他的意見,同時由他的發言人Howard
Rubenstein帶為轉述.

"I'm very pleased to have received the rights to negotiate an agreement with
Igawa," Steinbrenner said.
“我很高興球團有這個權利和井川談談他的合約” Steinbrenner說到

  The Yankees have 30 days to come to terms with Igawa, who is represented by
Arn Tellem. The Yankees and Tellem have a solid working relationship, as the
agent also represents Hideki Matsui, Mike Mussina and Jason Giambi.
  洋基有30天的時間和井川的經紀人Arn Tellem談這份合約,而洋基和Tellem有非常好的
合作關係,這位經紀人名下的客戶,還有松井秀喜, Mike Mussina 和Jason Giambi.

  Igawa, a 27-year-old left-hander, has a record of 86-60 and a 3.15 ERA in
eight seasons with the Tigers of the Central League. He won the league's MVP
award in 2003, posting a 20-5 record and 2.80 ERA in 29 starts.
  井川,這位27歲的左投手,在日本中央聯盟阪神虎隊的8個球季,成績為86勝60敗,
平均自責分3.15 ,他是聯盟2003年的年度MVP,當年他的成績為出賽29場20勝5負,
防禦率2.80.

  "The Hanshin Tigers are a well respected and successful organization, and
I've heard from a number of people about how devoted their fans are," Cashman
said. "I'm confident that if we are successful in bringing Mr. Igawa to the
Bronx, the Yankees' organization along with our passionate and diverse fan
base can provide the same type of commitment and excitement that he has
become so accustomed to."
“阪神虎隊是一個讓人敬重同時又十分成功的球隊,同時我聽到他們的球迷有多熱中於球
隊(p.s這倒是真的,如果去過大阪一趟,如果剛好有比賽,你會發現大阪街上根本就是亂民
聚集的地方,球迷超瘋狂的),” Cashman說到,”我相信如果我們成功的讓井川加入這個球
隊,他會發現我們整個球隊組織和洋基迷一貫熱中比賽的氣氛,會讓他覺得一切都是那麼的
熟悉.”

  "Igawa is one of the best pitchers in Japan, so there was little doubt that
he would attract bids," Hanshin president Toshihiro Makita told Kyodo News.
"I believe the fact that he got an offer from a Major League team shows what
he is. And we had intended to welcome a bid since the beginning of this
process if it was acceptable to us."
“井川同時也是日本最好的幾位選手之ㄧ,所以指有一小部分的聲音質疑這份競標金額.”
阪神隊老闆 Toshihiro Makita在Kyodo新聞上說道.”我相信他得到這個機會在大聯盟
展現他的實力.同時我們也樂於接受任何一份我們能滿意的競標金額.”

  The Yankees' winning bid comes one day after New York re-signed Mussina to
a two-year, $23 million contract. Igawa would join Mussina, Chien-Ming Wang,
Randy Johnson and Carl Pavano in the Yankees' starting rotation if he signs
with New York.
  洋基在和Mussina簽下2年2300萬美元後的第1天,得知贏得談判的權利,如果井川和洋基隊
簽約的話,他會加入王建民, Mussina, RJ 和 “PAIN”vano成為洋基先發輪值上的一員.

  Igawa, who features a 90-mph fastball and an above-average curveball, went
14-9 with a 2.97 ERA last season, striking out 194 batters to tie for the
league lead. It was the third time he has won the Central League's strikeout
title, also doing so in 2002 and 2004.
 井川 平均球速大約在90mile左右有一顆帶有一定水準的曲球,他在最近一個球季的成績
為14勝9負防禦率2.97,同時有著194的三振是聯盟的三振王,這是他第三次在中央聯盟拿到這個
頭銜,上兩次分別在2002年和2004年.

 Former big-league manager Bobby Valentine, who currently manages the
Chiba Lotte Marines in the Pacific League, has seen his share of Igawa over
the past four years. He believes that while Igawa is a solid starter,
he isn't in the same class as Matsuzaka.
  大聯盟前經理 Bobby Valentine,現在為太平洋聯盟的. Chiba Lotte Marines隊的經理,
分享他對這4年來井川的表現.他相信井川是一位能力的先發投手,同時他不是松板大輔那
一類型的投手.

  "I favor left-handers anywhere in the world," Valentine said during the
MLB-Japan All-Star Series earlier this month. "The first time I saw him,
I thought he was a lot better; four years ago, he was a lot better than he
is now. But he's still good."
“我相信左投在世界任何地方都能生存,” Valentine在本月稍早的美日明星賽時說到”
我第一次在4年前看到他時,他比現在更好,不過他能然很棒.”

  Igawa is the third Japanese player posted this winter, joining Matsuzaka and
 infielder Akinori Iwamura, whose rights were acquired by the Devil Rays for
about $4.5 million.
  井川是本球季第3位從日本轉大美國挑戰的球員,前兩位為松板大輔和岩村,和魔鬼魚隊
簽下約450萬美元的合約(還是競標金..不太會翻)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
翻的很爛..請多包含..

恩..不知道井川是否能適應大聯盟等級的比賽..

不過他便宜多就是了...

等著接下來的發展巴
