此篇文章是小曹重返大聯盟後
刊登在Dodgers Digest (道奇隊大型的球迷落格)的文章
作者為mlb.com寫手Mike Petriell，這篇文章是從美國球迷的角度看小曹的再起
想說是一篇值得翻譯的文章，
在翻譯上的任何問題還煩請各位鄉民大大指正，感謝!

No Really, Chin-hui Tsao May Be Back
不會吧，曹錦輝真的要回來了。
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，當Chad Billingsley昨晚面對道奇隊先發的時候，我們想起了這位過去威猛的投手
(譯按: Billingsley過去是道奇農場培育出來，相當被看好的年輕投手)，自從他上次穿
著道奇制服出賽至今有兩年之久了，但這和小曹比起來這根本不算什麼，報導指出他今天
已經被升至大聯盟，上次他穿著道奇制服出賽是2007年的事情─這沒有搞錯! 而當他在三
月的時候與道奇簽下小聯盟約時(譯按: 應為2014年12月底)，我調查了他到底從多遙遠的
地方過來:
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.
當我在上禮拜寫了一篇關於道奇隊25人名單的文章(此段摘自作者過去寫的文章)，牛棚中
的最後一席之是「未知的」，因為有著像是Sergio Santos, David Aardsma, Pedro Baez
以及另外一打的人選都在競爭，小曹並不在名單當中，他上次在大聯盟出賽是2007年(
那時候道奇隊還有David Wells, Rudy Seanez, D.J. Houlton, Jason Schmidt和Mark
Hendrickson等人在陣中)，並且他自從假球醜聞後幾乎沒有什麼在投球，當他和道奇簽約
時甚至連春訓邀請都沒有拿到，這是幾乎所有上大聯盟的選手都會先拿到的，這說明了他
原先根本沒受到任何的關注。
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:
小曹其實也已經在上個月滿34歲了，但他似乎一直都在那裡，我們看看2003年7月25日他
生涯初登板的先發名單:
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.)
當時落磯的教練是Clint Hurdle，對手釀酒人的教練則是Ned Yost，你大概會想壓很多錢
去打賭他們不會成為很成功的教練，甚至是雇用他們當教練，如今12年過去了。
(譯按:Clint Hurdle為2013國聯最佳教練，2014則是票選第二名，
Ned Yost 2014年帶領皇家進入世界大賽，只差一勝就拿到WS。)
Here’s the Grady Little-led (!) Dodger lineup as it looked for Tsao’s LA
debut on April 18, 2007:
這是在2007年4月18日由Grady Little(!)領軍時，
小曹首次披著道奇戰袍出賽的先發名單:
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也曾在那場比賽出賽，老兄，只剩下 Ethier還在陣中了。
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.
該年7月14日是小曹最後一次的出賽，隔年在皇家AAA出賽了七場比賽，之後就沒有在大聯
盟系統的出賽紀錄，在今年兩個小聯盟層級共30.2局的投球中，他的K/BB是39/9，相當不
錯的表現，該死的如果我可以偵查他的投手數據─這傢伙基本上比PITCHf/x還早出現。
(PITCHf/x為球路軌跡偵測系統)
(譯按:最後兩句翻譯可能需要修正。)
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大概會被下放到AAA並空出一個名單空間，但是小曹並不在40人名單當中
，將會有另外一個動作出現，可能會是DFA的動作，因為剩下在15天傷兵名單的只有
Carlos Frias 和Chris Hatcher，應該都不會被放置到60天傷兵名單，可能會是一位你根
本不知道是在40人名單的球員，像是Andy Wilkins 或是Ronald Torreyes，然後你會說:
「什麼? 他原來是在名單裡。」
(譯按: 最後小曹和AAA隊友Josh Ravin同時被調升上去，
Yimi Garcia 和Ian Thomas下放至AAA，Eric Surkamp則是被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.
無論如何，這些都是你應該睜大眼睛去觀看小曹的部分，但我也保證有許多球迷會看到他
在小聯盟4.40的ERA，然後感到不爽，我並不是說他會成為一個很好的、有用的，或是有
價值的選手，也不會是最近球隊許多狀況的解答，就像他只是一個牛棚需要的新鮮手臂。
不過，他的確是十分有趣。 現在，我將會睜大眼睛瞧瞧。
