Long Island Ducks Sign Carlos Zambrano
Righty Carlos Zambrano has signed with the Long Island Ducks of the
independent Atlantic League, tweets Chris Cotillo of CLNS Radio. MLB.com's
Carrie Muskat has confirmed the signing (also via Twitter).
As Ducks president and GM Michael Pfaff recently explained to MLBTR's Zach
Links, the team prioritizes winning but wants to "help players with their
careers, help them continue their careers, and help them get back to the
major leagues." That's surely Zambrano's plan. The 31-year-old righty
joined the Marlins via trade in January 2012, posting a 4.49 ERA, 6.5 K/9,
5.1 BB/9, 0.61 HR/9, and 49.1% groundball rate in 132 1/3 innings (20 starts
and 15 relief appearances). Zambrano, a three-time All-Star, was a workhorse
for the Cubs from 2003-07, averaging 215 innings per season.
From the '07 fight with teammate Michael Barrett, the five-year, $91.5MM
contract signed that year, all kinds of odd ailments, the no-hitter in '08
against the Astros at Miller Park, the '09 on-field tantrum that led to a
six-game suspension, problems with Cubs management, the move to the bullpen
and back, the issue with Derrek Lee in '10 that led to a team-mandated
suspension, his placement on the disqualified list in '11, to the salary dump
trade to Miami, Z's final years as a Cub were tumultuous to say the least.
據消息指出 Carlos Zambrano 已經加入了大西洋聯盟的紐約州長島鴨子隊
現年 31 歲的他 在 2007 年底跟百年簽下了 91.5M / 5Y 的合約 (2008 - 2012)
但是歷來他的問題不斷 曾和自家捕手 Michael Barrett 一壘手 Derrek Lee
轟轟烈烈的在休息區內幹過架 也曾因為個人情緒控管不佳而被球團禁賽過
不過也在 2009 年對太色人投出他個人至今的唯一一場無安打比賽
前年底被換到馬林魚 泰半時間都是以牛棚投手的身分出賽 季後就成了失業一族
如今加入大西洋聯盟尋求東山再起的機會
短時間內看不到他暴走的畫面了 .....
