http://tinyurl.com/77jceh6 LAKELAND, Fla. -- New Tigers reliever Octavio Dotel said he feels sympathy for Juan Carlos Oviedo and Roberto Hernandez Heredia, two pitchers caught in lies about their age and name (and also currently caught in limbo). Dotel said one of the best things that ever happened to him was when his real age came out following the Sept. 11 tragedy and there was a sudden crackdown on birth certificates. Dotel gained two years in a day, and he didn't mind a bit. 針對季末兩起身分造假事件 Dotel發表他的看法 "I was happy the truth came out,'' Dotel said. Today, he proudly tells people he is 38. He was born on Thanksgiving Day, 1973, and he has a lot to be thankful for. He also has no regrets about telling scouts who signed him he was 17 when he was really 19, either. 現在Dotel可以很自豪的告訴別人他是38歲不過他也不後悔當年騙球探他是17歲 "If they had my real age back then, I probably wouldn't be here,'' Dotel said. "But I'm here now. Thirteen years in (the majors). I'm doing good. Maybe not the best, not Albert Pujols. But good enough.'' 如果我說了真實年齡，或許我就不會在大聯盟了但現在我已在這裡待了13年，表現得不錯或許不像普神一樣神，但夠好了 Dotel is so honest that when it is noted to him that he is playing for a record 13th team, the Tigers, he corrects, "I have to get in a game first. Then it'll be 13.'' Dotel誠實到他要先上場才宣布老虎是他效力的第13支球隊 Dotel said there's a need to fudge at first because he said most Dominicans develop late, and he understands anyone who does what he did. But he said that when players get to the big leagues, they should own up to their correct age. Dotel (that's his real name) said players who take a different name should reveal their real names, too. 他說多明尼加球員有說謊的需要因為他們發育得比較晚他也能理解這些說謊的球員不過，當登上大聯盟後，他們就該說真話了 "I feel bad for (Oviedo and Heredia),'' Dotel said of the pitchers previously known as Leo Nunez and Fausto Carmona of the Marlins and Indians, respectively. 'But after you get to the big leagues, why not tell the truth?'' 我為他們感到難過但當你登上大聯盟後，為何不說真話? Dotel said when he signed (real age 19 at the time) he was only throwing 84 or 85 mph. But two years later he was up to 90. "When you see a 16-, 17-, 18-year-old, your legs and arm aren't strong enough,'' Dotel said. "That's why a lot of players in the Dominican do that. If you're 17 and throwing 92, check that guy. That can not be. I started throwing hard at 25.'' Dotel說他簽約時球速只有84-85mph左右兩年後，球速提升到了90 "當16-18歲時，你的腿和手臂都還不夠強壯" "這是為什麼很多多明尼加球員要說謊。如果你17歲球速92就會受到注意這不可能。我到25歲才開始丟火球" Dotel said he needed American nutrition and training to develop into a major-league pitcher, and he never would have made it if he hadn't lied at first. "At 19, you are old to sign in the Dominican,'' Dotel said. 他說他需要美國的營養和訓練來幫他成長為一名大聯盟投手如果他沒先說謊結局就不會一樣 "19歲以多明尼加人來說太老了" Dotel is an advocate for the truth now. Except in one case. "If you're still in the minor leagues,'' Dotel said, "stay the way you are.'' 他提倡大家現在說出實話除非 "如果你還在小聯盟就保持現在的樣子吧" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.25.133
