[外電] Wang Deciding Between Nationals, One Other Team

[danceking (喜帖轟炸╰(‵皿′＊)╯)]

Two-time 19-game winner Chien-Ming Wang, made a free agent by the Yankees
after undergoing shoulder surgery, will sign with the Nationals or another
unnamed team in the next 7-10 days, a major league source told FanHouse on
Wednesday.

Wang, who turns 30 on March 31, missed most of the past two seasons with
injuries. But he was 38-13 in 2006-07.

He suffered a freak foot injury running the bases in 2008. Then last year, he
got off to a horrid start (0-3, 34.50 ERA) before going on the disabled list
to try to strengthen his lower body. He returned in May but by July it was
determined he needed shoulder surgery, repairing a torn capsule.

Rather than go to arbitration with Wang, the Yankees declined to tender him a
contract, making him a free agent.

Besides the uncertainty of Wang's shoulder -- he is reportedly on schedule to
pitch in the majors by May -- Wang presents an unusual resume.

With a hard -- up to 93-95 mph when healthy -- sinking fastball, he is
excellent at inducing grounders and avoiding homers (0.6 per nine innings in
his career).

But he also has yet to establish a consistent secondary pitch, and as a
result has averaged just 4.2 strikeouts per nine innings in his career. Wang
has thus far defied the rule that a lack of strikeouts leads to a lack of
success; only one other pitcher in the expansion ERA (600 or more innings)
had a strikeout rate that low and a winning percentage better than .600:
Pedro Borbon.
