我個人覺得最近最勁爆的消息應該是這條... http://www.dailybreeze.com/ci_11176249 Dodgers sue insurance company over Schmidt According to the complaint for breach of contract, Ace American Insurance Company has failed to pay the team more than $9.2 million owed as a result of a policy insuring the Dodgers against the risk of Schmidt becoming unable to play. 其中又被LAT挖出來更骯髒的內幕... http://www.latimes.com/sports/ baseball/mlb/dodgers/la-sp-dodgers10-2008dec10,0,1832830.story Dodgers knew Jason Schmidt had shoulder problem "At the time the Dodgers entered into the policy with ACE," the suit reads, "both the Dodgers and ACE were aware that Mr. Schmidt had for some time during his career with the San Francisco Giants been suffering from a partial tear of the rotator cuff in his right [pitching] shoulder." 所以其實Dodgers也很清楚Schmidt舊傷(torn right rotator cuff)的情況... Schmidt pitched 213 innings in 2006, his final season in San Francisco, with a 3.59 earned-run average. However, according to STATS LLC, his percentage of fastballs below 90 mph that season jumped from below 10% in each of the first five months of the season to 24% in September. 科科...那個時候Schmidt說啥降一些速度並不影響球威啥的... 然後春訓速球88mph... "Before we sign anybody, they're run through a pretty strong physical," Dodgers General Manager Colletti said then. "If there was a red flag on any player, we wouldn't pursue him." 這實在是睜眼說瞎話... It is believed the Schmidt physical included an MRI examination that confirmed the rotator cuff injury. In the suit, the Dodgers claim such injuries are not uncommon and said they awarded him the contract based on his success with the Giants. 所以很可能Dodgers的醫療團隊連MRI都做了， 這種東西不太可能檢查不出Schmidt的傷... 不過高階管理人繼續跳針... "Major league pitchers often experience such partial rotator cuff tears but nevertheless remain competitive and effective," the suit reads, "as Mr. Schmidt had demonstrated himself to be during the 2006 season immediately prior to joining the Dodgers. 幹林老木... "The Dodgers therefore did not find Mr. Schmidt's preexisting rotator cuff condition to exclude him from consideration as a team member." ... Schmidt has not pitched since June 16, 2007. Colletti said Tuesday he was not expecting Schmidt to pitch in 2009, the final year of the contract. 所謂的不期不待就是這樣， 有人還會把現在的Schmidt當戰力的一部份嗎？ 有的話，那他一定是瘋了... --
