Long Island Ducks Sign Carlos Zambrano
Righty Carlos Zambrano has signed with the Long Island Ducks of the
independent Atlantic League, tweets Chris Cotillo of CLNS Radio. MLB.com's
Carrie Muskat has confirmed the signing (also via Twitter).
As Ducks president and GM Michael Pfaff recently explained to MLBTR's Zach
Links, the team prioritizes winning but wants to "help players with their
careers, help them continue their careers, and help them get back to the
major leagues." That's surely Zambrano's plan. The 31-year-old righty
joined the Marlins via trade in January 2012, posting a 4.49 ERA, 6.5 K/9,
5.1 BB/9, 0.61 HR/9, and 49.1% groundball rate in 132 1/3 innings (20 starts
and 15 relief appearances). Zambrano, a three-time All-Star, was a workhorse
for the Cubs from 2003-07, averaging 215 innings per season.
From the '07 fight with teammate Michael Barrett, the five-year, $91.5MM
contract signed that year, all kinds of odd ailments, the no-hitter in '08
against the Astros at Miller Park, the '09 on-field tantrum that led to a
six-game suspension, problems with Cubs management, the move to the bullpen
and back, the issue with Derrek Lee in '10 that led to a team-mandated
suspension, his placement on the disqualified list in '11, to the salary dump
trade to Miami, Z's final years as a Cub were tumultuous to say the least.
据消息指出 Carlos Zambrano 已经加入了大西洋联盟的纽约州长岛鸭子队
现年 31 岁的他 在 2007 年底跟百年签下了 91.5M / 5Y 的合约 (2008 - 2012)
但是历来他的问题不断 曾和自家捕手 Michael Barrett 一垒手 Derrek Lee
轰轰烈烈的在休息区内干过架 也曾因为个人情绪控管不佳而被球团禁赛过
不过也在 2009 年对太色人投出他个人至今的唯一一场无安打比赛
前年底被换到马林鱼 泰半时间都是以牛棚投手的身分出赛 季后就成了失业一族
如今加入大西洋联盟寻求东山再起的机会
短时间内看不到他暴走的画面了 .....
