今天上班時間太無聊了就把這篇文章翻譯了一下XD 如果有翻錯的地方請指教 ============================================================================== 右投手Jon Garland在兩週前拒絕響尾蛇隊的動作，並不意味著他不想加入該隊。『它仍然是我想降落的目的地』。Jon Garland在Chase Field的加盟記者會如是說，他的一年期合約於周四早晨在這裡宣佈。『在我們拒絕了響尾蛇隊起初的offer後，我聯絡了我的經紀人Craig Landis，告訴他說：[別就此打退堂鼓，我們繼續尋求加盟該隊的可行性吧！] 我覺得我非常適合待在這支球隊，成為其投手陣容的一員。』響尾蛇隊指望Garland能提供足夠的局數，並鞏固原來就堅強的先發輪值。Garland， 29歲，在過去七個球季中，每季至少能吃下191局。『如果我站上投手丘卻沒吃下夠多的局數，我就是沒有做好我的工作。』他說：『我主要的目標就是在整個球季先發吃下 200局，如果我能達成這個局數，你們（指觀眾）坐在觀眾席享受這些局數就是做了對的事情。』 Garland今年依合約可以拿到$6.25 million，包括2010年價值 $10 million的共同選擇權；如果他拒絕執行選擇權，他可以獲得$1 million的買段金。如果響尾蛇隊拒絕執行，買斷金將跳升至$2.5 million。『我認為多年以來先發輪值能吃下越多局數的球隊，通常在十月都還有比賽可打。』總經理Josh Byrnes說：『這或許可以代表投手陣容的體質和續航力有多麼重要。』 ============================================================================= ※ 引述《abc12812 ()》之銘言： : 不知道為什麼就是覺得很好笑 : http://tinyurl.com/d77eed : Just because right-hander Jon Garland turned down the Diamondbacks' first : offer to him two weeks ago doesn't mean he put them out of mind. : "It was still a destination I wanted to land," Garland said at his : introductory news conference at Chase Field, where his one-year deal with the : Diamondbacks was announced Thursday morning. : "I got in contact with (agent Craig Landis) after we turned down the initial : offer and said, 'Let's not get away from this. Let's keep pursuing this.' I : felt like I definitely fit in well with this team and this pitching staff." : The Diamondbacks are counting on him to provide innings and consistency to : what already was a strong starting rotation. Garland, 29, has thrown at least : 191 innings each of the past seven seasons. : "If I go out there and I don't put up the innings, I'm not doing my job," he : said. "My main goal when I start the season is to get to 200 innings. If I : can get to 200 innings, you're obviously doing something right to stay in the : game and tack on those innings." : Garland will make $6.25 million this year in a deal that includes a $10 : million mutual option for 2010. If Garland declines the option, he gets a $1 : million buyout. If the team declines it, the buyout jumps to $2.5 million. : "I think the teams in most years that are among the leaders in starting : pitchers' innings are oftentimes the teams that are playing in October," : General Manager Josh Byrnes said. "That is probably represented by the : quality of the pitchers and the durability of the pitchers." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.231.128.151 ※ 編輯: reasonchen 來自: 125.231.128.151 (02/05 01:03)
