  A-Rod在一個新童書簽名會上，遇到了一件無關痛癢的事件。



  這個簽名會舉辦在曼哈頓市中心的 Barnes & Noble store，(芝麻街?)_

  A-Rod在下午一點半到達會場後不久，這件事情的發生吸引了目光。

: As Rodriguez posed for photographers holding a copy of the book, “Out of the
: Ballpark” (HarperCollins), a middle-aged man holding a camera tossed a
: baseball at Rodriguez, apparently because he wanted an autograph. The ball
: hit the ceiling — if thrown more accurately it could have hit Rodriguez —
: and then bounced on the floor. The man then scooted out of the store.

  A-Rod 拿著童書"Out of the park"、正擺姿勢供攝影師照相時，一個拿著相機

  的中年男子將一顆紅線球丟向A-Rod--顯然他想要一個簽名。這顆球命中到了天花板

  如果丟的更準一點則可能打到A-Rod。然後這顆球掉到地板上，同時，這個丟球的

  中年男子迅速的逃出這家店。



: Later, as reporters spoke with Rodriguez, a publicist from HarperCollins
: quickly tried to end the questions. Rodriguez kept talking and a reporter
: from Newsday was grabbed by a police officer and pushed away. In his brief
: conversation with reporters, Rodriguez skirted a question about opting out of
: his 10-year, $252 million contract at the end of this season, saying, “My
: situation and my only goal is to win a world championship, and I am going to
: take it day to day.”

  稍後 記者向A-Rod提問，此時童書作者的發言人試圖快速的結束記者的發問，A-Rod

  持續的回答記者的問題時，一個Newsday的記者被警察架離會場。在A-Rod的簡短談話

  中，他迴避了記者有關於他這個球季結束後，十年合約中球員選擇權的問題。

  他說："我目前的態度以及我唯一的目標就是贏一個總冠軍，我每天都是這樣想"

: Rodriguez is going into the seventh year of his deal, and his fourth season
: with the Yankees. Under the terms of the contract, he has the right to walk
: away from the final three years of the deal and sign a new contract with the
: Yankees or any other team.
: Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras, told The Associated Press yesterday that
: Rodriguez was happy in New York, and that he and Rodriguez would probably not
: talk about the contract until after the season.

  今年是A-Rod合約的第七年，同時也是在洋基的第四年，依照當初合約的內容，

  第八到十年A-Rod有權力可以跳脫合約，與洋基或者其他任何球隊簽訂新合約。

  A-Rod的經紀人 Scott Boras向媒體表示，A-Rod在紐約很開心，並且他與A-Rod

  在今年球季結束之前，將暫時不會討論未來是否使用跳脫條款等問題。





  呼 ~ 接力接力  翻得好累

我來試試看^^"

: “Obviously, when Alex’s contract was done, the revenues of the game were
: around $3 billion,” Boras said. “Now they are around $6 billion. The elite
: position player has not been really graded in this new revenue stream we’ve
: seen.” Translation: Rodriguez, in Boras’s opinion, can probably make more
: money with a new deal after this season.

"顯而易見的，當A-Rod結束他的合約時，每場比賽帶來的收益將會有三十億之多，"
Boras表示 "不過現在的收益逼近六十億。真正優秀的球員不是用這種方式來評價他的。"
讓我們換句話說：在Boras的認知裡，本季結束後，A-Rod可以再談一張更大的合約。

: Rodriguez, meanwhile, said that he did not believe he had anything to repair
: with Manager Joe Torre, who, in frustration, dropped Rodriguez to eighth in
: the batting order for Game 4 of last season’s playoff series against
: Detroit. Rodriguez had only one hit through the first three games of that
: series.
: “I am an employee,” Rodriguez said. “If Joe says take out the garbage, I
: take out the garbage.”

在A-Rod這邊，他表示他不認為跟總教練Joe Torre之間有什麼需要修補的，即使在季後賽
面對老虎的系列賽中，在第四場比賽被降到了第八棒。系列戰的前三場比賽裡，A-Rod僅
僅只有一支安打。"我是個球員，" A-Rod表示 "如果Joe要我去倒垃圾，我就會去倒垃圾
。"

: JETER EXPECTS CLEMENS TO PITCH Derek Jeter said he expected Roger Clemens to
: pitch this season. But Jeter, the Yankees’ captain, said he was not sure
: where Clemens might wind up.
: “The only thing I’ll say about Rocket is he hasn’t decided if he’s going
: to come back yet,” Jeter said yesterday after a workout in Tampa, Fla. “If
: you ask me what I think, I would think he would.”
: Clemens, 44, has said he will not make a decision on returning for a 24th
: major league season until sometime after spring training. The Yankees, the
: Astros and the Boston Red Sox are the top three contenders for Clemens’s
: services. (AP)

Jeter表示他期待看到這季火箭人登板投球，不過隊長也不確定老火箭將落腳何處。
"我只能說火箭人還沒決定他是否要回到洋基，" Jeter在練習結束之後表示 "但我認為他
會的。"
44歲的火箭人要到春訓結束後，才會決定是否繼續他的第24個球季。洋基、太空人及紅襪
，是他心中的前三順位。

: FOLLOWING THE DOCTOR’S ADVICE Red Sox Manager Terry Francona does not expect
: Jonathan Papelbon to move back into the bullpen, even though it would make
: his life easier.

紅襪總管Terry Francona並不打算將Papelbon移回牛棚中。

: “If I had my druthers, he would be our closer,” Francona said yesterday, a
: day before heading to Florida to get an early start on spring training. “It’
: s not happening. We have to respect the medical people’s advice.”
: As a rookie in 2006, Papelbon saved 35 games in 41 opportunities despite a
: shoulder injury that caused him to cut his season short in September.
: Because of the injury — a tired shoulder, but short of the torn labrum he
: feared — doctors recommended that Papelbon pitch in the rotation this season
: so he would have a more regular and predictable schedule. (AP)

"我希望他可以當我們的終結者，" Francona表示 "但這行不通，我們必須尊重醫護人員
的建議。"儘管在新人球季中受到肩膀傷勢的困擾，Papelbon仍然在41次救援機會中，替
球隊保住了35場的勝利。但由於肩膀的傷，醫生建議將Papelbon排入先發輪值，讓他能夠
以較規律的方式上場投球。

: HARANG AGREES TO DEAL The right-hander Aaron Harang avoided arbitration
: yesterday by agreeing to a four-year, $36.5 million contract that made him
: the Cincinnati Reds’ highest-paid pitcher. Harang emerged as one of the
: National League’s top starters last season, tying for the league lead with
: 16 wins and leading the N.L. with 216 strikeouts and 6 complete games.(AP)

Aaron Harang昨天接受了紅人隊提出的四年3650萬的合約，使他成為紅人隊中最高薪的投
手。Harang在上個球季展露出國聯最佳先發投手的架式，繳出了並列國聯最高的16勝，以
及領先國聯的216次三振，並有6場完投的佳績。
