Wang to face new challenges if he signs with Washington Nationals ( 2010/02/12 ) Media reports say that Tainan-born pitching ace Wang Chien-ming is on the verge of signing a new contract with the Washington Nationals. Although nothing has been confirmed, if Wang does sign with the Nationals he would have to report for spring training on the 20th of this month. Free Agent Pitcher Prosecutors indicted baseball stars Jhang Jhih-jia and Chen Jhih-yuan along with 21 others in connection with a game fixing scandal Wednesday. Another top Taiwanese baseball player, Tsao Chin-hui, was not indicted because of a lack of evidence.
到華盛頓國民隊的優劣
雖然消息還有待王建民本人確認,但多家媒體近日來已大幅報導,王建民將加盟華盛頓國民隊。如果王建民確定在春訓前簽約,他將會在這個月 20日抵達國民隊的春訓基地。
Wang’s major league career so far has been with the New York Yankees in the American League, where a designated hitter bats for the pitcher. But numerous reports say he’s close to signing with Washington, a National League team. If he does join the Nats, Wang would need to bat and run the bases.
過去在美國聯盟的洋基隊,有投手指定打擊,王建民只有在跨聯盟比賽作客到國家聯盟的主場才需要上場打擊,但由於國民屬於國家聯盟,投手必須上場打擊,是不擅長打擊和跑壘的王建民一項新挑戰。

In National League games the pitcher has to bat, so there’s a high chance of needing to bunt. I would have to practice that, said Wang back in early 2008.
國聯比賽時就要打擊,所以蠻有機會要短打。我必須就在這個地方練短打,
If Wang does sign a deal before spring training he would be expected to make an appearance at the Nationals spring training base in Viera , Florida , before returning home to continue rehab work on his own. Once he’s able to throw off a mound, he would return to the team to continue his comeback.
如果王建民確定在春訓前簽約,他這個月20日將會在國民隊位在佛羅里達州維耶拉(Viera)的春訓基地亮相,之後回到費雪運動中心繼續自主練習,直到復健完成,達到可投球狀態,才會再向球隊報到。
Prosecutors indict 24 people in baseball game-fixing scandal ( 2010/02/10 )
假球案偵結
偵辦歷時一年的職棒假球案,檢方一口氣起訴包括簽賭集團及現任、卸任球員共24人。其中,看板球星陳致遠、張誌家,被認定收錢打假球,具體求刑兩年。曹錦輝及謝佳賢獲不起訴處分。至於集團首腦雨刷與白手套莊宏亮,因為供出案情,未具體求刑。
Prosecutors announced the completion of their investigation into game-fixing in Taiwan ’s professional baseball league on Wednesday. They announced 24 indictments, including former La New Bears starting pitcher Jhang Jhih-jia and Brother Elephants outfielder Chen Jhih-yuan.

“陳致遠.張誌家.蔡豐安”
檢察官分別具體求刑有期徒刑兩年
In response, the Elephants immediately sacked Chen. After being informed of the charges, Chen maintained he did not participate in game-fixing. Meanwhile, Chen’s former teammate and former U.S. major league player Tsao Chin-hui was not indicted.
兄弟象球團隨後立即將陳致遠開除,陳致遠在得知之後,還是表示自己沒有打假球。至於另一位兄弟象前知名明星球員曹錦輝,獲得不起訴處分。

Tsao Chin-hui and Hsieh Chia-hsien accepted inappropriate sexual services from the gambling syndicate and other benefits but, as there was insufficient evidence of criminal behavior, they have not been indicted, says Cheng.

“曹錦輝及謝佳賢
曾經接受職棒簽賭集團不當的性招待,以及收取不當的利益,不過均以犯罪嫌疑不足
給予不起訴處分”
Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of nine years in prison for Tainan County Speaker Wu Jian-bao, who was indicted on conspiracy and fraud. They have asked for a much lighter sentence for the alleged mastermind of the game-fixing scheme, Cai Jheng-yi, due to Cai’s cooperative attitude during the investigation.
至於遭檢方認定涉案情節重大的台南縣議長吳健保,依組織犯罪詐欺罪嫌,求處重刑九年重刑。比照配合度高、遭檢方請求從輕量刑的簽賭集團首腦蔡政宜,有極大差別。
