Report: Shin-Soo Choo to Skip World Baseball Classic, Focus on Contract Year
拼合约年─秋信守将缺席经典赛
http://t.co/Ccbkhgo4
It’s no secret that Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is on the trading block.
秋信守可能被交易已经不是秘密了。
The Red Sox are reportedly one of the teams interested in acquiring the
outfielder’s services and have been reportedly brainstorming packages to
acquire Choo and/or Justin Masterson. But in order to focus on his last year
before free agency –– and the likelihood of switching teams –– Choo has
elected to skip the World Baseball Classic, according to FOXSports.com.
红袜是其中一个对秋信守有兴趣的球队，大家都在想包裹怎么包(或是拿Masterson)。
明年将成为FA的秋信守选择不打经典赛。
The 30-year-old’s absence will be a big blow to South Korea, who made it to
the finals in 2009 before falling to Japan in the finals in 10 innings. He was
the lone major league player on the South Korean team.
30岁的秋信守的缺席将严重冲击09年打入冠军战的韩国队，因为他是国家队中唯一在MLB
打球的韩国人。
Choo, who is represented by Scott Boras, contributed key home runs en route to
leading South Korea on its magical run. His presence also sparked South Korea
to the semifinals in 2006. Last season, Choo belted 16 home runs and added 67
RBIs while batting .283. He was also a finalist for the Gold Glove Award in
right field, but was beaten out by former Red Sox outfielder Josh Reddick. But
Choo will use the rest of the offseason to relax and focus on baseball. If he
does wind up in Boston, the decision could be a blessing in disguise for a
club that was plagued by injuries in 2012.
06年韩国也打进准决赛，秋信守的砲火很关键。去年差点拿下金手套，最后被Reddick打败
。秋信守将用休赛期间放松并把专注力放在棒球上。
