No Really, Chin-hui Tsao May Be Back
不会吧，曹锦辉真的要回来了。
Man, and we thought Chad Billingsley was a blast from the past when he
started against the Dodgers last night. At least it had only been two seasons
since he’d been with the Dodgers, and that’s nothing compared to Chin-hui
Tsao, who is reportedly going to be recalled today. Tsao last appeared for a
game with the Dodgers in 2007 — not a typo! — and when he signed a minor
league deal in March, I looked into just how far he’d come:
老兄，当Chad Billingsley昨晚面对道奇队先发的时候，我们想起了这位过去威猛的投手
(译按: Billingsley过去是道奇农场培育出来，相当被看好的年轻投手)，自从他上次穿
著道奇制服出赛至今有两年之久了，但这和小曹比起来这根本不算什么，报导指出他今天
已经被升至大联盟，上次他穿着道奇制服出赛是2007年的事情─这没有搞错! 而当他在三
月的时候与道奇签下小联盟约时(译按: 应为2014年12月底)，我调查了他到底从多遥远的
地方过来:
When I wrote about the projected 25-man Opening Day roster last week, the
final bullpen spot was a “who knows,” full of Sergio Santos and David
Aardsma and Pedro Baez and a dozen other guys. Not included on that list:
Chin-hui Tsao, who last pitched in the big leagues in 2007 (for a Dodger team
that included names like David Wells, Rudy Seanez, D.J. Houlton, Jason
Schmidt, and Mark Hendrickson) and has barely pitched at all since due to a
game-fixing scandal in his native Taiwan. When he signed a minor league deal
with the Dodgers, he didn’t even get an invite to major league camp, which
nearly all players who have major league experience do. That's how far off
the radar he was.
当我在上礼拜写了一篇关于道奇队25人名单的文章(此段摘自作者过去写的文章)，牛棚中
的最后一席之是“未知的”，因为有着像是Sergio Santos, David Aardsma, Pedro Baez
以及另外一打的人选都在竞争，小曹并不在名单当中，他上次在大联盟出赛是2007年(
那时候道奇队还有David Wells, Rudy Seanez, D.J. Houlton, Jason Schmidt和Mark
Hendrickson等人在阵中)，并且他自从假球丑闻后几乎没有什么在投球，当他和道奇签约
时甚至连春训邀请都没有拿到，这是几乎所有上大联盟的选手都会先拿到的，这说明了他
原先根本没受到任何的关注。
Tsao somehow only turned 34 last month, but it still feels like he’s been
around forever. Check out the Colorado lineup he took the field with for his
big league debut on July 25, 2003:
小曹其实也已经在上个月满34岁了，但他似乎一直都在那里，我们看看2003年7月25日他
生涯初登板的先发名单:
Tony Womack SS
Ronnie Belliard 2B
Todd Helton 1B
Preston Wilson CF
Larry Walker RF
Jay Payton LF
Chris Stynes 3B
Charles Johnson C
Chin-hui Tsao P
(The managers in that game: Ned Yost & Clint Hurdle. You probably could have
made a lot of money betting against the idea that they’d be very successful
managers — or employed managers — 12 years later.)
当时落矶的教练是Clint Hurdle，对手酿酒人的教练则是Ned Yost，你大概会想压很多钱
去打赌他们不会成为很成功的教练，甚至是雇用他们当教练，如今12年过去了。
(译按:Clint Hurdle为2013国联最佳教练，2014则是票选第二名，
Ned Yost 2014年带领皇家进入世界大赛，只差一胜就拿到WS。)
Here’s the Grady Little-led (!) Dodger lineup as it looked for Tsao’s LA
debut on April 18, 2007:
这是在2007年4月18日由Grady Little(!)领军时，
小曹首次披着道奇战袍出赛的先发名单:
Rafael Furcal SS
Juan Pierre CF
Nomar Garciaparra 1B
Mike Lieberthal C
Andre Ethier RF
Brady Clark LF
Wilson Betemit 3B
Ramon Martinez 2B
Derek Lowe P
Rudy Seanez and Olmedo Saenz also appeared in that game. Man, Ethier really
has been around forever himself.
Rudy Seanez 和Olmedo Saenz也曾在那场比赛出赛，老兄，只剩下 Ethier还在阵中了。
Tsao made his final appearance on July 14 of that year, got into seven games
for Kansas City’s Triple-A team in 2008, and hasn’t been seen since. In
30.2 innings across two levels this year, he’s got a 39/9 K/BB, which seems
nice, but damned if I’m scouting the stat line — this guy basically
predates PITCHf/x.
该年7月14日是小曹最后一次的出赛，隔年在皇家AAA出赛了七场比赛，之后就没有在大联
盟系统的出赛纪录，在今年两个小联盟层级共30.2局的投球中，他的K/BB是39/9，相当不
错的表现，该死的如果我可以侦查他的投手数据─这家伙基本上比PITCHf/x还早出现。
(PITCHf/x为球路轨迹侦测系统)
(译按:最后两句翻译可能需要修正。)
Ian Thomas probably gets kicked back to Triple-A to open a spot on the
roster, but because Tsao isn’t on the 40-man, another move would need to be
made, and it’d likely be a DFA, because the only players on the 15-day DL
are Carlos Frias and Chris Hatcher, neither likely 60-day candidates. It’ll
probably be someone you didn’t even realize was on the 40-man, like Andy
Wilkins or Ronald Torreyes, and you’ll go “huh, he existed, I guess.”
Ian Thomas大概会被下放到AAA并空出一个名单空间，但是小曹并不在40人名单当中
，将会有另外一个动作出现，可能会是DFA的动作，因为剩下在15天伤兵名单的只有
Carlos Frias 和Chris Hatcher，应该都不会被放置到60天伤兵名单，可能会是一位你根
本不知道是在40人名单的球员，像是Andy Wilkins 或是Ronald Torreyes，然后你会说:
“什么? 他原来是在名单里。”
(译按: 最后小曹和AAA队友Josh Ravin同时被调升上去，
Yimi Garcia 和Ian Thomas下放至AAA，Eric Surkamp则是被DFA)
That might be how you should view Tsao, anyway, and I’m sure too many fans
will just see “4.40 ERA in the minors!” and freak out. I’m not saying he’
s necessarily going to be good or useful or valuable, and he’s not a fix for
recent issues so much as he is a fresh arm for a bullpen that needs one. He
sure is interesting, though. Right now, I’ll take interesting.
无论如何，这些都是你应该睁大眼睛去观看小曹的部分，但我也保证有许多球迷会看到他
在小联盟4.40的ERA，然后感到不爽，我并不是说他会成为一个很好的、有用的，或是有
价值的选手，也不会是最近球队许多状况的解答，就像他只是一个牛棚需要的新鲜手臂。
不过，他的确是十分有趣。 现在，我将会睁大眼睛瞧瞧。
