那篇Rumor是基於 Joel Sherman的部落格文章，应该是第二篇 把文章PO上来： 第一篇： Darrell Rasner started 20 games last year for the Yankees and Sidney Ponson 15. This might not give Phil Hughes the greatest comfort in the world considering that his failure/injury was a reason those two hardly enthralling choices started nearly 22 percent of the Yankees' games in 2008. But Hughes should keep them in mind as he heads to the minor league complex for the rest of spring training and then likely to Scranton's Triple-A rotation. Maybe the Yanks will get lucky and C.C. Sabathia will not feel wear and tear from his recent heavy workloads, and A.J. Burnett will not revert to his career history of spending way too much time on the DL, and Andy Pettitte will not act his age, Joba Chamberlain will prove he is durable and Chien-Ming Wang will have no recurring foot problems. But the likelihood is that the Yanks will not get perfect attendance out of their rotation this year and if I were a betting man I would suspect Hughes - if he takes care of business at Triple-A - will get 10 major league starts, at least, throughout the season. He is still only 22. He still can have a future as a Yankee and an important future at that. The ball literally is in his hand. I suspect that if he pitches well this year that the Yanks will either trade Wang (who can be a free agent after the 2010 season) or not re-up with Pettitte or put Chamberlain in the bullpen, especially if he demonstrates again in 2009 that he cannot get through a season as a starter healthy. But that is a long way away. Hughes' first job is to continue to pitch at Triple-A with the strong command and presence he displayed in spring training and make sure that he is first man called if the Yankee rotation endures an injury. http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/st/archives/2009/03/3_up_jeter_hugh.html 第二篇： This is my rule: I try not to read the comments in the blog daily for several reasons, but mainly because I have several friends who do blogs and get lost in the nastiness and criticism of the postings of readers. I try to pick one day a week, usually Sunday, to try and read as many of the comments as possible finding that doing it with some distance and all at once tends to help me process the comments and separate the clinically insane from those making valid points. Really, sit back and read these comments some time and tell me what has happened to civil debate and just general decency. Anonymity plus anger is really some brew. I point this out because a friend of mine told me he thought my posting about Phil Hughes, as it regarded Chien-Ming Wang, was being generally misinterpreted by those posting. So I am going to do what I have so far resisted doing because I think it will not matter to people who come here with bitterness or an agenda, and that is to further explain something. What I wrote in the blog yesterday was this: "I suspect that if he (Hughes) pitches well this year that the Yanks will either trade Wang (who can be a free agent after the 2010 season) or not re-up with (Andy) Pettitte or put (Joba) Chamberlain in the bullpen, especially if he demonstrates again in 2009 that he cannot get through a season as a starter healthy." I did not advocate that the Yankees should trade Wang. I simply put out a scenario that I have discussed with Yankee officials. Wang is going to be a free agent after the 2010 season so to keep him the Yankees are going to have to pay him elite dollars over a long-term to stay: He will likely have a case that he should be paid commensurate with the five years at $82.5 million bestowed A.J. Burnett. And the Yanks, internally, are not positive about going to such extents with Wang. He has pitched four seasons in the majors and two have been interrupted by injury. They wonder how a pitcher who does not strike out batters will age as he loses some bite on his sinking fastball, especially since he has been sketchy in developing the rest of his repertoire. And he would begin a new contract in 2011 at age 31, so you almost certainly are buying declining years. Because of all of this, the Yankees have weighed trade scenarios in the past involving Wang and, I suspect, they will continue to at least listen, especially if they believe that Hughes is capable of being, at minimum, a cost-effective, mid-rotation starter. The Yankee logic would be simple: If they do not think they can go long-term with Wang then would they be better off letting him pitch for them through 2010 or to use him to potentially fill another area of need via trade? Remember, the Yanks might be hoping to further stock the top of their rotation with someone they would rather invest the money in than Wang such as a trade for a Roy Halladay or an international signing of Yu Darvish. If I were a betting man, I would suspect that the Yanks would keep Wang and that if Hughes ends up in the rotation full-time in 2010 it would be because either Pettitte was not retained or Chamberlain proved incapable of surviving a full year as a starter. But I firmly believe the Yanks will remain open-minded about Wang because I have yet to talk to a Yankee official who is fully committed to keeping him long-term. http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/st/archives/2009/03/3_up_schilling.html ※ 引述《Belladonaa ()》之铭言： : http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/03/the-future-of-chienming-wang.html : By Tim Dierkes [March 24 at 3:59pm CST] : In a blog post this morning, Joel Sherman of the New York Post discussed the : future of Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang. Sherman says the Yankees are not : positive about offering Wang an elite free agent contract after the 2010 : season (note: I believe Wang may not be free agent-eligible until after : 2011). This uncertainty has caused the Yanks to "weigh trade scenarios in : the past involving Wang." Sherman adds, "I have yet to talk to a Yankee : official who is fully committed to keeping him long-term." : There was a time back in December of '07 when Wang was said to be open to a : three or four-year deal, but Kat O'Brien of Newsday said talks fizzled when : the Yankees requested Wang's agent Alan Nero make the opening offer. In a : display of the distance between the two parties, the Yanks went to an : arbitration hearing with Wang in February of '08 over a difference of $600K : (Wang lost). --
