專跑洋基新聞的作家Peter Abraham在他的blog中閒聊A-Rod... http://yankees.lohudblogs.com/2007/03/02/its-not-always-easy-being-a-rod/ It’s not always easy being A-Rod March 2 ,2007 Peter Abraham This is my second year of covering the Yankees and I’m no closer to figuring Alex Rodriguez out than I was my first day. 這是我第二年跑洋基的新聞現在我還是像第一天一樣猜不透Alex Rodriguez Gracious and witty one day, he will be distant the next. Trying to start a conversation with him can be difficult. But none of that is a crime. It’s my job to get comments from him, not his job to accomodate me. I’ve learned to live with that. 有時親切幽默隔天卻躲得遠遠要跟他聊很困難但這也不是什麼罪本來訪問他是我的工作而不是他來配合我這我已經學會適應 But today was a reminder that A-Rod doesn’t always bring it on himself. 但今天一些新聞卻不是A-Rod引起的 Alex recently did an interview with HBO and praised Lou Piniella. Considering Piniella was his first manager in the majors and remains his friend, that certainly seems like a reasonable thing for him to do. But this column says the interview was really code that A-Rod likes Piniella more than Joe Torre and wants to play for the Cubs next season. Never mind that Rodriguez himself denied that. The denial was at the bottom of the story. 最近Alex接受HBO的訪問稱讚Lou Piniella - A-Rod大聯盟生涯第一位總教練也一直是他的朋友稱讚他也很合理但這個專欄http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/502008p-423343c.html 卻形容A-Rod喜歡Piniella勝過Joe Torre 希望下個球季能為小熊隊效力別介意 Rodriguez本人否認報導最後有寫 “A-Rod sounds like future Cub,” the headline said. 但標題卻寫 "A-Rod像是未來的小熊隊員" So thousands of people think A-Rod is the bad guy, even though all he did was say something nice about Piniella. He becomes an unwitting tool to further attack Torre with. 所以上千人認為A-Rod是壞蛋即使他只是說了Piniella一些好話他變成未來打擊Joe Torre的工具 Later in the day, the well-connected Jon Heyman of SI.com revealed that eight teams wanted to trade for A-Rod over the winter and that he would be an attractive free agent if he opts out of his contract at the end of the season. It’s an interesting piece. 這天稍晚SI.com的 Jon Heyman透露去年冬季有八個球隊想要A-Rod 假如今年球季結束他執行合約中的除外條款也會是一位非常吸引人的自由球員 Scott Boras is terrific at building the value of his clients and, via Heyman, he presents a compelling case. If I had a son who played baseball at a high level, I would want Boras representing him. But Alex probably needs to tell Boras to stop talking about the option. It’s only going to become a distraction. Scott Boras在建立客戶價值上非常厲害透過Heyman 他達到他的目的如果我有兒子要打職棒會希望找Boras Alex也許需要告訴Boras 不要再談論那個選擇權這已經變成扣分 Alex himself has pledged nothing but his desire to help the Yankees win the Series. If he wanted out, all he had to do was ask. He said he wanted to stay and he said it 10 minutes after stinking up the joint in the playoffs last season. Alex本人只希望幫助洋基隊贏得冠軍如果他想要走只要講一下就可以他說他想要留下去年在季後賽他講了10分鐘 Like him or not, he has been straight up about that. No, he didn’t renounce his contract option. He’s not an idiot. If your company offered you a chance to earn more money next year, would you refuse? 不管你喜不喜歡他他就是那樣沒有他沒有重申他的合約選擇他也不是笨蛋如果公司提供你明年賺更多錢的機會你會拒絕嗎? Here is all I know for sure: I see Alex on his way to work out in the gym at Legends Field every morning around 8:15. That’s about an hour before most of his teammates show up. Every time I walk by the cage, he’s taking extra hitting. I have friends who have seen him at night in a private gym working out again. 以下是我很確定的我每天看到Alex在8:15左右就在傳奇球場的健身房健身那大概是他大部分隊友出現的前一個鐘頭每次我走過打擊練習場他都在進行額外的打擊練習我有朋友晚上在私人健身房還看到他又在健身 For a guy who supposedly wants out, he’s certainly working awfully hard for the Yankees. 對一個想要走的人他顯然對洋基非常用力 Do I wish he would be a little more easy-going with the beat writers? Sure I do. But it can’t be easy when you do nothing wrong and you still lose. 我是否希望他對於beat writers能好一點當然我希望但是當你沒做錯什麼還是被修理這實在不容易 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.139.250.19
