来看看各家评论怎么酸这件....喔!不对，是评论这件交易XD
＊Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos: “The biggest component, I think
it goes without saying, was the financial implications. Beyond 2011, the
financial flexibility it gives our organization in 2012 and beyond, with
where we’re going and as we build this organization, made a lot of sense for
us.”
(蓝鸟GM:不用说，最大的因素是财务方面。这让我们在接下来有很大的薪资空间可运用
对我们来说意义非凡。)
＊Angels general manager Tony Reagins: “We look at Vernon’s commitment as a
four-year commitment that was tolerable for us.”
(天使GM:客套话)
＊Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles: “The most stunning aspect of Friday’s trade
was that the Angels got no cash back from Toronto to help pay for what was
considered one of the worst contracts in the sport. In the Kazmir trade in
August 2009, the Angels got nothing back from Tampa Bay. They’ll owe the
left-hander $25.5 million over the next two seasons and he’s coming off a
season in which he had a 5.94 ERA.”
(最令人惊讶的是天使交易来这张烂约竟然连一毛钱都没拿到，09年的Kazmir交易案中
天使一毛都没拿到，而且接下来两季还有25.5M，而卡兹去年交出了什么?5.94的ERA)
＊Dustin Parkes of Getting Blanked: “Alex Anthopoulos is probably very busy
right now writing thank you cards to Carl Crawford for signing with the
Boston Red Sox and Adrian Beltre for signing with the Texas Rangers and
Angels fans for putting so much pressure on Tony Reagins to make a move this
offseason.”
(AA应该忙着写感谢卡给Crawford和Beltre，因为他们没有去天使而让天使GM备感压力)
＊David Golebiewski of FanGraphs: “Even if you think Wells will perform
considerably better through his age 32-35 seasons that he did in his late
twenties and early thirties, and that inflation will be more than five
percent per year, it’s near impossible to envision a scenario in which he’s
worth his contract. It’s like the Angels paid for a mansion on the beach and
got a one-bedroom ranch house in the Rust Belt instead.”
(即使你会认为Wells在接下来几年打得更好，而且再加上每年5%的通膨率。但要打出符
合他合约价钱的表现几乎是不可能的。这就好像天使队花了可以在沙滩买一栋宅邸的钱
却去买了一间位于铁锈地带的平房一样)
＊Lyle Spencer of MLB.com: “Here’s what I like about the Angels’ big deal
with Toronto: everything.”

＊Cliff Corcoran of SI.com: “If the Angels use Wells and Torii Hunter in the
outfield corners with Bobby Abreu as their designated hitter and rookie Peter
Bourjos in center, they’ll have an outstanding defensive outfield to play
behind a solid starting rotation, but a problematic lineup that will depend
heavily on Morales’ successful return and those three former All-Stars whose
best days are behind them.”
(若天使把Wells和Hunter排在左、右外野 Abreu打DH 菜鸟Bourjos站中外野，那么他们
将会有很棒的外野守备，打线的问题还是在于Morales能否健康归队以及这几名前AS能
否打出身手)
＊Mark Whicker of the Orange County Register:” It is a heavy price and a
contract that the Angels won’t be able to move easily when Wells declines.
But it makes them more legitimate contenders in the A.L. West than they were
Thursday.”
(这对天使来说是个很难摆脱的大约，除非Wells使用逃脱条款。但这也让天使在美西更
加有竞争力)
＊Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star: “The decision to dump Wells points
towards a long-term deal for Bautista, now that Wells’ Delgado-like
albatross of a deal is gone from the scene.”
(丢掉Wells有助于和包爷签长约)
＊Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com: “Most teams try to get younger, cheaper and
better. The Angels got older, more expensive and possibly worse.”
(大部分的球队想要更年轻、更俗又大碗的球员。
天使队却拿更老、更贵且可能更烂的球员)
