从Mlb Fleece Factor来的文章,简单撷取其中的大纲,未来相信这一系列的文章还会加
进好几个名字 XD
==============================================================================
August 30, 1990
The Players: Houston's GM Bill Wood(The Fleecer)and Boston's GM Lou Gorman(The
Fleecee).
The Fleece: The Boston Red Sox acquire relief pitcher Larry Andersen from the
Houston Astros for 3rd base prospect Jeff Bagwell.
Larry Andersen: 在红袜待到该年球季结束,表现十分出色(22IP, 25K, 1.23ERA)。红袜
拿下美联东区冠军,在美联冠军战直落四遭运动家扫地出门。球季结束
后Andersen成为FA,被教士签走。
Jeff Bagwell: 最有资格获选为HOF的一垒手之一,生涯15年都效力太空人,队史全垒打
(449)、打点(1529)以及保送(1401)的保持者。
==============================================================================
December 11, 2000
The Players: Los Angeles' GM Kevin Malone(The Fleecee)and Darren Dreifort and
his agent Scott Boras.
The Fleece: Los Angeles Dodgers sign free agent Darren Dreifort to a five-year,
$55M contract
史上最大的诈欺之一,Scott Boras的最著名的抢劫之一,Dreifort在道奇的五年留下了
9-13, 4.53 ERA, 1.39 WHIP in 86 games, 205.1 IP
2002年、2005年整年报销,平均一胜代价超过6M!
==============================================================================
December 9, 2000
The Players: Colorado General Manager Dan O'Dowd(the fleecee)and Mike Hampton
and his agent Mark Rodgers(the fleecers).
The Fleece: The Colorado Rockies signed 28 year old pitcher Mike Hampton to
an eight-year, $123.8M contract which, at the time, was the largest
contract in baseball.
Hampton在山上的两年缴出灾难般的21-28, 5.75。喔,O'Dowd在当时表示,比Hampton在
签约前,生涯在山上平均的6.88ERA要来的低了 lOl。短暂过水马林鱼之后,Hampton随即
被交易到勇士,2005年投了1/3的球季,接下来两年成绩栏一片空白。
==============================================================================
January 16, 2002
The Players: Rangers owner Tom Hicks and GM Jon Hart(The fleecees), and right
handed pitcher Chan Ho Park and his agent, none other than Captain
Fleece, Scott Boras(the fleecers).
The Fleece: The Texas Rangers signed Park to a 5 year, $65M deal.
Miserable。朴赞浩在阿灵顿只待了三年半,2003年及2004年合计先发23场,三年半下来
的ERA/WHIP分别是5.75/1.59, 7.58/1.99, 5.46/1.44, 5.66/1.68,跟德州
的大小有的比!2005年的夏天靠着将他交易到教士去换来Phil Nevin,才结
束了游骑兵的恶梦。五年下来,朴赞浩总共赢了33场球,一场接近2M的代价
。
==============================================================================
On July 30, 2004
New York Mets dealt top pitching prospect Scott Kazmir and pitcher Joselo Diaz
to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for starting pitcher Victor Zambrano and relief
pitcher Bartolome Fortunato.
从2004到2006年,Victor Zambrano只替大都会出赛了39场,10-14, 4.45。Scott Kazmir
,当今最好的年轻投手之一,在找到控球的时候,活生生是台三振机器。大都会前GM Jim
Duquette任内最伟大的交易。
==============================================================================
The Date: August 12, 1987
The Players: Detroit Tigers General Manager Bill Lajoie(the fleecee)and Atlanta
Braves GM Bobby Cox(the fleecer)
The Fleece: To strengthen their pennant chances, the Detroit Tigers acquired
pitcher Doyle Alexander from the Atlanta Braves for right handed
pitching prospect John Smoltz.
Alexander在11场先发当中缴出了9-0, 1.53,帮助老虎拿下分区冠军,但在美联冠军战被
双城给灌爆,9局丢了10分,吞下两败,目送双城拿下世界大赛冠军。再多投了两年低于
平均的球季后,高挂球鞋。
Smoltz,职业生涯至今都待在勇士,史上唯一200胜、150救援、季后赛胜投王、未来HOF
候选人之一。
==============================================================================
November 3, 1992
Trade: The New York Yankees acquire right fielder Paul O'Neill and minor
leaguer Joe DeBerry from the Cincinnati Reds for LF Roberto Kelly
O'Neill成为洋基球迷的最爱,同时是90年代洋基王朝的灵魂人物,94年美联打击王、五
度入选明星赛。
Kelly成为浪迹天涯的工具人,从那年以后单季从未超过409个打数。
==============================================================================
December 10, 1971
Trade: GM of the New York Mets, Bob Scheffing, traded SP Nolan Ryan, P Don Rose
, C Francisco Estrada, and OF Leroy Stanton to the California Angels for
SS Jim Fregosi.
顺应不想待在大都会的Ryan,Scheffing将他交易到天使。Fregosi在大都会只待了两个球
季,146G, 5HR, 43RBI, .233。Ryan,嗯,5714跟7这两个数字的涵义应该有不少人知道
。附带一提,7所代表的意义,在大都会史上还没发生过。
顺道附上一张怀旧照片 http://0rz.tw/7e3Hb
==============================================================================
November 14, 2003
The Players: San Francisco GM Brian Sabean(the flecee) & Minnesota Twins GM
Terry Ryan(the fleecer)
The Fleece: Looking to fill a void behind the plate, the San Francisco Giants
send Joe Nathan, Boof Bonser and Francisco Liriano to the Minnesota
Twins for A.J. Pierzynski.
Brian Sabean任内最伟大的交易之一,在现在会有谁把像当年缴出12-4, 2.96ERA的Nathan
给交易出去?AJP只在老人队打了一年就被释出,之后成为全民公敌。Nathan成为当今最
好的终结者之一,Bonser是个堪用的投手,Liriano顺利复原的话…
==============================================================================
December 21, 1998
The Players: Orioles owner Peter Angelos and GM Frank Wren(The Fleecees), and
slugger Albert Belle and his agent, Arn Tellem(The Fleecers).
The Fleece: Albert Belle signs a 5-year, $65 million deal with the Baltimore
Orioles making him the highest paid player in the league. The
signing comes a few months after Belle opted out of his 5-year,
$55M deal with the White Sox signed in 1996. In that deal, Belle
exercised a clause that allowed him to opt out once he was no
longer among the top 3 highest paid players in the league.
Belle在1999年缴出.297/.400/.541, 37HR, 117RBI,在前一年有着最高payroll的金莺,
在那一年继续在美东当老四。2000年缴出.281/.342/.474,出赛141场,金莺继续当老四
。之后由于严重的髋关节炎,让Belle连要坐下都不可能,黯然宣布退休,也丧失了挑战
众多纪录的机会。
==============================================================================
December 13th, 1999
马林鱼利用规则五选秀从太空人那选来Johan Santana,当时的太空人GM Gerry Hunsicker
选择不保护山大王。最后太空人在该年的五号先发分别是Jose Lima(6.65ERA)、Chris
Holt(5.35ERA)、Brian Powell(5.74ERA)、Marc Valdes(5.08ERA)以及Jose Cabrera
(5.92 ERA)…实际上太空人只需要将山大王放进40人名单…
马林鱼当年真正想要的是Jared Camp,GM Dave Dombrowski跟双城GM Terry Ryan作了协
议,当年规则五选秀第一顺位的双城选走Camp,第二顺位的马林鱼则挑选任何一个双城想
要的球员,之后两队互换,马林鱼给了双城50K,充当双城从太空人处选走山大王所需支
付的费用,双城要求马林鱼挑选山大王。
Jared Camp从未在大联盟投过球,山大王…嗯,地表最好的投手之一,只能说当时太空人
跟马林鱼都赌错了。
