※ 引述《VaROne (没听到《传奇》)》之铭言： : http://natsinsider.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-nats-signed-wang.html#more : Since word got out last week that the Nationals were the front-runners to : sign Chien-Ming Wang, the reaction has been decidedly mixed. Seems some fans : have been jumping for joy, ecstatic that Washington could get its hands on a : guy who posted back-to-back 19-win seasons in 2006-07 before battling : injuries the last two years. And it seems others are decidedly against the : move, believing Wang's best days are behind him and that he's far from the : reliable starter the Nats so desperately need. : Fair points, at both ends of the spectrum. 上周国民积极的签了王，虽然很多球迷觉得他们在开完笑。这个19胜连庄的选手， 正是国民迫切需要的先发投手。 : Here, though, is an explanation why the Nationals believe Wang is worth the : investment... 以下将解释原因。 : First and foremost, he's still young. Wang turns 30 on March 31, so he : conceivably has plenty of gas left in the tank. Unlike, say, 42-year-old John : Smoltz, who has been considering retirement for several seasons and faces the : possibility of throwing his final pitch every time he takes the mound. 第一、王还年轻。 : Yes, Wang has been beset by injuries to his foot and shoulder the last two : years. But plenty of guys have returned from far worse and pitched : effectively for years. Washington scouts and front-office execs have seen him : throw recently and are reasonably confident his arm is on the track back to : 100 percent healthy, the hope being he can return to the mound in May or June. 虽然过去两年脚根肩膀都有旧伤纪录。国民的球探仍有信心他5 or 6月可以恢复100%。 : What if Wang doesn't come back healthy, or if he's ineffective once he starts : pitching again? The cost to the Nats is fairly minimal. Wang is guaranteed $2 : million -- $6 million less than Austin Kearns made in 2009 -- and only makes : more than that if he reaches various incentives along the way. The Nats have : eaten worse contracts over the years (see Lo Duca, Paul; and Lopez, Felipe). : And remember, even though this contract is for only one year, Wang is under : the Nats' control for at least two years. His major-league service time : currently stands at 4 years, 159 days. You need six years to become a free : agent, and next winter, he'll fall 21 days short of that distinction. So if : the Nats want to retain Wang in 2011, they can. The two sides will either : have to settle on terms themselves or else go to arbitration, but he'll be in : Washington if Washington wants him. And if the club doesn't think he's worth : re-signing, he can be non-tendered and cut loose, just as the Yankees did in : December. 如果没有恢复，王也不太贵。国民想不想签他都有弹性的作法。 : The prospect of a healthy Wang in 2011 is really the biggest selling point of : this move. It's no secret the Nationals understand they're not contending for : anything in 2010, other than perhaps escaping the basement in the NL East. : But they're cautiously proceeding as though 2011 could be a breakthrough : season for the franchise, primarily because of the pitching staff they're : assembling. 国民知道他们2010还是在国联东区没的拼，不过他们放眼筹备2011。至少他们已经 收集许多好投手。 : If everything goes according to plan -- and obviously, you can't assume this : -- the Nats' Opening Day 2011 rotation could feature Stephen Strasburg, : Jordan Zimmermann, John Lannan, Jason Marquis and Chien-Ming Wang. 推测2011的投手轮值。 : That's the : kind of rotation that can make a legitimate postseason run. And it doesn't : even take into account the possible development of other young arms like Ross : Detwiler, Craig Stammen, Scott Olsen, Garrett Mock, J.D. Martin, Collin : Balester, Matt Chico and Brad Meyers. 这样的轮值应该可以带来合乎期待的季赛，甚至还有许多年轻的手臂没算进去。 : There's one more component to the Wang signing, one you may not have thought : of but I assure you the Nationals have. This franchise has boasted only two : Asian players in its five years in the District: Tomo Ohka of Japan and : Sun-Woo Kim of South Korea. Neither guy made much impact and neither was : considered a household name in his home country. : But Wang is a hero back in Taiwan, and he brings with him a sizable traveling : media corps and thousands of fans. For a franchise that is trying to attract : a larger following, both at home and abroad, this move is a major : development. Taiwanese baseball fans who never had reason to care about : Washington suddenly have a new favorite team. And the addition of one : prominent Asian player makes this franchise more legitimate and credible : throughout the Far East, opening the door for future signings of big-name : players who previously might not have considered coming to the Nats. : Yes, the Wang signing makes for good PR. And while his actual on-field : contributions are more important to the Nationals in the short-term, his : off-field contributions will be significant and could pay dividends for years : to come. 王在台湾是伟大的英雄，签了他可以提升许多粉丝的数量。签完王，台湾球迷突然 又有一支新的喜爱球队。因此，签王是有很高的PR值。 快速翻译~ --
