※ 引述《accprote (KS)》之铭言：
: 4:58pm: Slusser writes that the figure Iwakuma was said to be seeking was
: including the posting fee. She also notes that Iwakuma wasn't looking for the
: same number of years as Zito, just the same annual salary. Oakland, on the
: other hand, was thinking somewhere along the lines of a $3MM-$5MM salary.
: The A's are also looking for a power hitter, and one thought was that signing
: Iwakuma could have made Oakland a more appealing destination for Hideki
: Matsui.
: Slusser says she recently spoke with a scout who saw Iwakuma pitch in Japan,
: and described the 29-year-old as "Nothing special. Just a guy." With Iwakuma
: presumably out of the picture, Slusser says a healthy Outman would be the
: frontrunner for the fifth starter job. The 26-year-old lefty was having a
: strong season in 2009 before he underwent Tommy John surgery and missed all
: of 2010.
: 3:38pm: The Athletics have broken off talks with Hisashi Iwakuma, according
: to this series of tweets from Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
: While the A's will have until December 7 to make a decision on Iwakuma,
: Slusser's sources have told her that Iwakuma was seeking something similar to
: Barry Zito's seven-year, $126MM contract with the Giants to sign in Oakland,
: which the A's are obviously unwilling to do. Iwakuma is preparing to announce
: his return to the Rakuten Golden Eagles at an upcoming fan fest.
: If Iwakuma's demands don't come down, the A's will be down one fifth starter
: option, having traded Vin Mazzaro to Kansas City in exchange for David
: DeJesus. Slusser says the A's will then approach the season with Josh Outman,
: Tyson Ross, and Bobby Cramer as fifth starter candidates, barring a free
: agent signing of course.
: It's not unthinkable that the A's would venture to free agency to find a
: suitable replacement; they clearly have the money to spend on pitching should
: they see fit. Oakland bid around $17MM to win the rights to negotiate with
: Iwakuma, but that amount will be returned if no deal is reached.

简单来说，岩隈久志希望能拿到一份平均年薪18M的大约
不过要注意的是，他寻求的并不是Zito般的7y/126M，合约长度不用那么长
而是加上入札金，平均年薪要有18M
以之前乐天开出的18M入札金来看，假使岩隈拿到一份四年的合约
那会是4y/54M + 18M posting fee，所以说平均一年大概13.5M
当然这跟运动家期望的1y/3～5M，还是有极大的落差
更何况以某名球探日前前往日本观看岩隈投球所下的评论
他觉得岩隈的投球，并有没有什么特殊之处，就只是个投手...
要拿13.5M来签一个可能只能担任四、五号先发的投手
运动家不如赌赌看自家农场的Josh Outman
