新聞出處 http://0rz.tw/123kT Catcher Jason LaRue, a free agent from the Royals, has moved across the state. LaRue signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Monday. 星期一，前皇家隊捕手Jason LaRue與紅雀隊簽下一紙一年合約 LaRue was signed as the backup catcher to Yadier Molina. 並成為摸小弟的替補捕手 The Cardinals also signed two right-handed pitchers to Minor League contracts: Dewon Brazelton and John Wasdin. 紅雀並與兩位右投手:Dewon Brazelton與John Wasdin簽下小聯盟合約 LaRue, 33, is regarded as a top-notch defensive receiver but struggled with the bat this year, his only season with Kansas City. He batted just .148 (25-for- 169) in 66 games with four home runs and 13 RBIs. 33歲的LaRue有著優異的守備但在07年打擊陷入麻煩。在皇家隊的這一球季，66場出賽只打出.148的打擊率(169打數只有25支安打)，並有4發全壘打與13分打點。 But he showed an outstanding arm, throwing out 14 of 40 would-be basestealers, 35 percent. He's tied with Detroit's Ivan Rodriguez for second in best efficiency, 37 percent, since 2001, trailing only Washington's Brian Schneider's 38 percent. 但他狙殺能力卻一級棒:擁有35%的狙殺成功率，在40次被盜壘中成功狙殺了14次。自從 2001年起，也擁有與I-Rod相同的37%狙殺成功率，只落後全聯盟第一的Schneider. The Royals had a 24-31 record in the 55 games he started behind the plate, and he caught five of the Royals' six shutouts in 2007. 在他先發的55場，皇家隊戰績是24勝31負。並且皇家隊07年的六場完封勝中，有五場是他蹲補的。 The Royals obtained LaRue in a trade from Cincinnati, where he played for eight seasons. He was the Reds' primary catcher for five years and had 10 or more homers and 50-plus RBIs in each season. However, in 2006, LaRue was limited to 72 games after undergoing right knee surgery during Spring Training. 皇家隊從紅人交易來LaRue。在效力紅人的８年間，有五年是主力捕手，平均每年有１０支以上全壘打、50分以上的打點。然而，在2006年，卻因為在春訓時動了右膝手術僅出賽了72場。 During his Reds' career, LaRue had a .239 average and 84 home runs, with a high of 16 in 2003. 在紅人的期間，LaRue平均打擊率是.239以及總共84發全壘打。而在03年時打出生涯最多的 16發。 A right-handed batter, he replaces veteran catcher Gary Bennett, who became a free agent after two years with the Cardinals. 這位右打者取代了替紅雀效命兩年的老將Garry Bennett。 Brazelton, 26, was in camp with the Royals last spring and pitched for Triple-A Omaha and was 0-4 with a 7.11 ERA in four games before being released. Moving to the Pittsburgh organization, he was 5-5 with a 3.53 ERA in 15 starts for Double-A Altoona. Brazelton去年春訓在皇家，並於開季後在3A四場出賽投出0勝4負、7.11防禦率後被釋放。之後到了海盜隊2A投了15場先發，5勝5負、3.53的防禦率。 In 2001, Brazelton was the first-round Draft choice and third overall pick by the Tampa Bay Rays. He pitched for them in the Majors for four years with a cumulative 8-23 record and a 5.98 ERA in 54 games. In 2005, he was the Rays' Opening Day starter but fell out of the rotation and was 1-8 in 20 games. Brazelton在01年第一輪第三順位被魔鬼魚挑走。在魔鬼魚的四年大聯盟裡，累積54場比賽 8勝23負，5.98防禦率的紀錄。並於05年擔任魔鬼魚的開幕戰先發投手。但之後卻掉出輪值圈之外並在20場比賽拿下1勝8負的成績(亡牌?)。 His last Major League turn came in 2006, when he was 0-2 with a 12.00 ERA in nine games for San Diego. 他上一場大聯盟出賽是在06年。並在教士隊投了九場比賽拿了兩敗並且防禦率是12(讚!)。 Wasdin, 35, has a 39-39 record and a 5.28 ERA in a 12-year Major League career. Last year, he broke camp with the Pirates and was 1-1 in 12 relief appearances but then had a right thumb sprain. His season ended in late July because of a wrist injury. 另一名投手，Wasdin，在12年大聯盟生涯有著39勝39負的成績防禦率是5.28。他去年開季在海盜隊並在12場出賽裡拿下1勝1負，但之後卻扭傷右手拇指，且在七月時因手腕受傷而結束整個球季。 Wasdin has also pitched for Oakland, Boston, Colorado, Baltimore, Toronto and Texas. In 1999 for the Red Sox, Wasdin began the season with a 7-0 record as a reliever and finished 8-3, matching his career high for wins reached as an A's starter in 1996. Wasdin過去待過運動家、紅襪、落磯、金鶯、藍鳥以及游擊兵隊。1999年，Wasdin在紅襪隊以後援投手身分拿下開季七連勝，並投出96年在運動家當先發投手後生涯最好的8勝3負 Wasdin was the A's first-round Draft choice in 1993. Wasdin也是運動家1993年第一輪選進來的。 He and Brazelton will be invited to Spring Training as non-roster players. 他與Brazelton將會在明年春訓以被邀請的身分加入紅雀隊的春訓。 ─────────────────────────────────── 第一次翻譯文章，有錯誤請麻煩糾正啦文章好像太長，大家覺得多餘的部份可以提出來，下次我會小心點翻這麼多，只是希望大家可以認識這三位新紅鳥一起替他們加油吧 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.122.39.11
