"Plus our people who've been looking at him say he has a real good curve." 老虎队助理副总说："倪福德的直球球速界於88～91mph间，我们的球探说他有一颗 很好的曲球。" It's believed the deal included a signing bonus of $150,000-plus. 据信这比合约包含了十五万美元的签约金。 In all likelihood, he will begin the season at Triple-A Toledo -- because it's a slight step up from the Double-A-like CPBL, and because spring training will be interrupted by the World Baseball Classic. Ni will play for Taiwan in the WBC. 倪福德将在3A出发，因为跟2A的中华职棒比较起来，3A是他最适合先挑战的层级； 可是因为他要代表台湾参加经典赛，所以会错过一些春训时间。 Detroit had competition for him, particularly from Seattle. 老虎队是在跟水手的竞争中得到他。 Ni, 26, was 5-12 with a 3.34 ERA last year for the China Trust Whales, who've since disbanded after financial troubles and a game-fixing scandal that did not involve Ni. His 132 strikeouts (in 145 1/3 innings) led the league. 26岁的倪福德去年在中信鲸的表现是5胜12败，防御率3.34，而中信鲸去年因为财务 问题和放水丑闻中解散，而倪福德并没有涉入其中。他去年是联盟三振王 (132K/145.1IP) Because he's been a starter, Ni is capable of more than one-hitter or one-inning stints as a reliever. 因为倪福德层经担任过先发角色，所以他不仅可胜任一人左投，也可以承担长局数。 There's no consensus from Taiwan on Ni's potential. Some call him the "Taiwanese Okajima," referring to Hideki Okajima, Boston's excellent left-handed reliever from Japan. 在台湾没有人会怀疑倪福德的潜力，一些人称他为台湾的冈岛秀树。 However, the Web site East Windup Chronicle, which covers baseball in Taiwan, called the attention being given to Ni's signing "probably the most ado about a 'fringy' left-handed specialist." 然而，一个专门介绍台湾棒球的网站称倪福德的签约只是为老虎找一个姿势怪异的 一人左投。 Oddly, the career splits for Ni, who is 6-foot and 176 pounds, indicate he gets right-handers out more consistently than lefties. 有趣的是，六尺176磅的倪福德对右打者的成绩来得比左打者好。 --
