※ 引述《subcrew02 (Te Extrano ``)》之銘言： : http://tinyurl.com/466h8s : CC Sabathia told reporters this past week that his experience with the : Brewers opened up his world. That no longer was he married to the idea of : using his impending free agency to relocate his job near his West Coast home. : Some friends of the lefthander say Sabathia really has changed his thinking, : that he spoke the truth. Others, however, still profess that they would be : shocked if Sabathia didn't choose a California club. 沙巴這星期和記者們說他在釀酒人隊的經驗讓他的世界變得開闊了 他不再堅持利用自由球員的機會去找靠近他西岸的家的工作 一些沙巴的朋友他說的是真心話 其他的朋友仍然說如果沙巴沒有選加州的球隊的話 他們會很驚訝 : But there will be more forces in play than just geography or even the actual : dollars. Keep in mind that in high-profile free agency cases such as this, : the Players Association also plays a role. And that potential impact should : only help the Yankees. 但是在角力的不只是地理因素、甚至也不只是金錢 大家要知道在這種高度引人注目的自由球員的合約 球員協會也扮演要角 這潛在的影響只會幫助洋基 : Flash back to the 2002-03 offseason. The country was headed to war, and fresh : off a new collective bargaining agreement, teams exhibited (conspired for) : self-discipline. 回溯到2002-03季後 全國正要進入戰爭 球隊和球員協會又簽了新的同意書 各球隊都展現了(合謀的)自制力 : The one free agent set to make big-time money was Jim Thome, the affable : Indians slugger. The Phillies bid heavily, offering him a six-year, : $85-million package. The Indians, who drafted and developed Thome but thought : they needed to give themselves more payroll and roster flexibility, countered : with a five-year, $60-million deal. 當時要簽肥約的自由球員是笑臉人隊親和力佳的打擊手Jim Thome 費城人隊極力爭取他 捧著6年85mil的合約要給他 笑臉人從選秀開始培養Thome 但是為了薪資和球員名單的彈性 只提了5年60mil的合約 : Thome, an Illinois native and resident, loved playing in the Midwest. He : enjoyed immense popularity in Cleveland, and $60 million probably could have : paid the bills. But the Players Association leaned heavily on Thome to take : the Phillies' offer, saying, essentially: "You can't turn this down. Not this : winter." Thome是在伊利諾出生長大的 喜歡在中西部打球 在Cleveland廣受歡迎 60mil很可能就足夠了 但球員協會極力傾向費城人隊提的合約 基本上告訴Thome：｢你不能拒絶這個合約。至少這個冬天你不能拒絶。」 : This isn't to say that Thome chose the Phillies' offer - which concluded with : the Phillies paying a good portion of Thome's salary for the White Sox the : past three seasons - only because of union pressure. But it absolutely was a : factor, according to a person familiar with the situation. : Given how bad the country's economy is, and given the likelihood that the : Yankees will blow other teams out of the water with their Sabathia offer, : would the union similarly pressure Sabathia? 這不表示Thome完全只因為工會的壓力而簽下費城人隊的合約 但據了解內情人士表示 它絶對是其中一個因素 現在經濟這麼差 洋基又很可能會提一個把其他隊拋到九霄雲外的沙巴合約 工會是不是會對沙巴施加類似的壓力呢? : When Johan Santana agreed to a six-year, $137.5-million extension with the : Mets last winter in order to finalize his trade from the Twins, Santana's : agent, Peter Greenberg, said that the two-time Cy Young Award winner felt an : obligation toward his fellow players. 當山大王去年冬天和梅子隊簽下6年137.5-mil的續約以完成雙城和梅子的交易時 他的經紀人 Peter Greenberg 說山大王覺得他有義務替同是球員的其他人著想 : "We just tried to pick a number that we felt he'd be comfortable with," : Greenberg told Newsday. "That, at the end of the day, would be viewed as : fair, and would be viewed as something that raises the roof sufficiently - so : that other players like the Sabathias and whoever else comes along have a : chance, if they accomplish things, to fill in that gap." Greenberg對Newsday說 我們只是想挑一個山大王覺得合適的數字 一個公平並且把最高薪提升到足夠的高度 讓其他有所成就的球員 例如沙巴 能有機會填補這個空隙 : Sabathia has accomplished things since Greenberg said this on Feb. 6; he : earned himself plenty of money with his half-season run as a Brewer. Now he : gets to fill in that gap, and make his own decision. 自從Greenberg二月六日說了這些話之後 沙巴完成了很多事 他在釀酒人隊的半個球季也賺了不少 現在是他作決定、填空隙的時候了 --
