Milwaukee Brewers Made Right Move With Wei-Chung Wang
August 29, 2014 7:00 am EDT by Pete Schwichtenberg
P Wei-Chung Wang was the cause of grief for many Milwaukee Brewers fans this
season. They felt there was no reason for a rule-five pick to clog up a
roster spot for other able-armed pitchers and hoped the experiment would soon
end. But in recent weeks during his rehab outings, Wang has shown why the
Brewers coveted his arm so much and how well he can pitch when he receives
consistent work.
王维中是这个球季让很多酿酒人球迷不爽的主因，他们觉得没有必要为了获得一个规则五
选秀选手而少带一位投手，希望这个“实验”赶快结束。直到最近几个礼拜，王维中在复
健赛投得非常好，展现出为什么酿酒人这么看好他的原因。
When coming to Milwaukee, Wang was not only in unfamiliar territory, but he
was facing an impossible work routine. Expecting Wang, a pitcher who had only
47 innings of rookie league baseball, to succeed was not only unrealistic,
but also not plausible considering his work schedule. There were often times
that he would go two-plus weeks without pitching, which would be difficult
for even a pitcher with Clayton Kershaw-type skills, let alone a rookie who
has never pitched above the rookie league.
刚到密尔瓦基的时候，王维中不紧要面对不熟悉的环境，还要面对不可能的任务。去期待
一个生涯只在菜鸟联盟投了47局的投手能在大联盟缴出好成绩不切实际，他的出赛频率更
是不固定：王维中经常处于两个多礼拜都没有上场的情况，这对投手来说十分不容易，就
算是Kershaw来投也是一样，更别提一个从没在菜鸟联盟层级以上投球的球员了。
While his major-league innings left a lot to be desired, his minor-league
innings have been outstanding. In six starts, Wang has a 1-2 record with a
2.52 ERA. His best outing of the season came in his last start on Aug. 27 in
high-A Brevard County. He allowed just two runs in 7.2 innings of work while
striking out eight. It is outings like this that show why the Pittsburgh
Pirates did not want to give up the young lefty and that the Brewers made the
right move in keeping him.
虽然他在大联盟的数据仍有很多改进空间，但是他在小联盟的投球成绩倒是十分杰出。在
六次的先发中，获得1胜2败、自责分率2.52的成绩，最好的表现是8/27在高阶A的先发，
7.2局的投球中仅失掉两分，并投出八次三振。这样的内容让人不难想像为何海盗队之前
不想放王维中这样一个年轻的左投手走，也证明了酿酒人的决策是正确的。
This fall, Wang is one of eight Brewers who will be participating in the
Arizona Fall League. Here he will not only be one of the most-watched
Brewers, but he will also have an opportunity to gain innings he lost during
the regular season as a member of the big-league club.
这个秋天，王维中将和另位七位酿酒人体系的球员一起参加亚利桑那秋季联盟。在AFL，
他不但会是最受瞩目的酿酒人球员，也可以补上他在大联盟时因为上场时间受限而不足的
投球局数。
Wang took a few beatings in meaningless situations, but he was able to
sustain his spot on the roster and remain in the organization. Players like
Johan Santana, Dan Uggla and Josh Hamilton have been rule-five success
stories who became stars and Wang will be next. By keeping Wang, the Brewers
gambled and won. They played with a 24-man roster for over half of the
season, but it was surely worth it.
王维中在大联盟时在几次不重要的时刻被对手痛击，但他成功撑过来，让他得以继续待在
酿酒人体系。Johan Santana、Dan Uggla和Josh Hamilton都是透过规则五选秀而得到发
光发热机会的明星球员，期盼王也能如此。留住王维中是酿酒人赌对了，他们用几乎是只
有24人的阵容撑完超过半个球季，看起来肯定是值得的。
心得：
以本季在小联盟的复健赛成绩来看，王维中的水准虽然距离大联盟仍有一段距离，但其实
在A+能缴出好成绩对一个第二年的投手来说也算是相当不容易了。明日王将回到大联盟，
究竟球团接下来对他会有什么样的安排呢？让我们继续看下去吧！
