: Player News : Kazuo Matsui settled into the cushions of a purple leather couch and stared : around at his new surroundings. The clubhouse of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox - : - the Triple-A team of the Colorado Rockies -- may not be spacious by major : league standards, but it's going to be home for a while. Matsui, who was traded : by the New York Mets to the Rockies on June 9, already has made quite an : impression with his new team. "There's no doubt in my mind that this guy can be : a star again," said Sky Sox manager Tom Runnells. The Rockies aren't sure who : they're getting. They're hopeful it's the Matsui who was a seven-time All-Star : and four-time Golden Glove recipient with the Seibu Lions in Japan. Matsui was : once regarded as highly as Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle and Hideki Matsui of the : New York Yankees. But the 30-year-old Kazuo Matsui never has come close to : living up to his Japanese fame. In 239 games with the Mets over three seasons, : he hit .256 with 11 home runs. "We want to see if we can relax him and get him : in the right frame of mind," Colorado GM Dan O'Dowd said. One conversation was : all it took for Matsui to earn a soft spot in Rockies manager Clint Hurdle's : heart. "I asked him which way he felt he hit better, right or left," Hurdle : said. "He said neither right now. I wanted to hug him right then and there : because I love an honest man. I told him that's no problem, we'll work on that. : " : (Updated 06/17/2006). 第一次翻譯請多指教 XDDD 小松井安穩地坐在紫色皮質長沙發上，環顧整個新環境。科羅拉多天襪隊（科羅 拉多落磯隊的3A球隊）的球員休息室依大聯盟標準可能還不夠寬敞，但是這邊將是他 要停留一陣子的地方。在6月9號從紐約大蘋果被交易來落磯隊，小松井已經讓新隊伍 留下深刻印象。天襪隊教頭Tom Runnells說：「無疑地，這傢伙一定會東山再起。」 落磯隊不確定小松井是否還有搞頭，他們希望小松井還是日本西武隊中七次入選明 星賽和四屆金手套得主的那一隻。他曾一度被拿來跟水兵的鈴木一朗及北佬的大松 井相提並論，但是小松井的表現和他在日本的盛名完全摸不上邊。在超過3個球季、 239場的比賽中，打擊率僅2成56，全壘打只有11支。GM Dan O'Dowd說：「我們要 看看是否能讓他放鬆並且幫他調整好心態。」一段談話使得Hurdle對小松井的好感 度大增。Hurdle說：「我問他覺得哪一邊打的比較好，左打還是右打？他說現在 兩邊都很囧，當下我真想把他擁進懷裡，因為我喜歡誠實的人，我跟他說沒關係， 我們會設法解決。」 --
