雖然免去薪資仲裁的擾人過程,但說實在,洋基這回給阿民500萬美金年薪真的稱不上夠誠意。
只能說,起碼這次洋基管理部門似乎意識到既然都敢狠心砸大鈔搶到別隊的王牌投手(沙巴西亞有七年長約,平均年薪是阿民的4.6倍!),對於自己的王牌投手也不應該小氣巴拉到又搞薪資仲裁,有失「(邪惡)帝國」顏面。但無論球評專家怎麼說、球迷怎麼呼籲,帝國就是愛搞邪惡,把亞洲選手當成「沉默的勞工」。
不過,不是我愛烏鴉嘴,這幾年看下來,每回洋基拿出沉甸甸大鈔弄來的明星穿上條紋制服後表現總是平平甚至令人搖頭嘆氣。唉,身為阿民的支持者,我們只能寄望他別受傷,明年可以投進季後賽囉!

Yankees sign Wang to one-year deal
His 54 career wins rank third among Asian-born pitchers, and helped him become the third-fastest Major League pitcher in the last 50 years to reach 50 career wins. Wang did it in his 85th career start; Dwight Gooden and Ron Guidry both did it in their 82nd career starts.
