Matsuzaka a fitting choice to end this season
NEW YORK — It seems fitting that this historically bad Red Sox will end tonight with Daisuke Matsuzaka as the starting pitcher.
역사적으로 개판이었던 삭스 시즌이 송판이를 마지막 선발경기로 끝난다는건 정말 적격이다
The Red Sox paid a "posting fee" of $51,111,111 to the Seibu Lions in 2005 for the rights just to negotiate with Matsuzaka. Then they gave him a contract for six years and $52 million.
삭스는 05년 송판이와 단지 협상하는 권리를 위해 51밀을 세이부에게 지불했고, 6년 52밀의 계약을 맺었다
But that was just the start. Matsuzaka also received a compete no-trade clause and the right to never be sent to the minor leagues. The Red Sox also were compelled to hire a staff to attend to Matsuzaka. He had a physical therapist, a masseuse, an interpreter and a media relations coordinator.
하지만 그건 단지 시작이었다. 송판이는 틀드와 마이너행 전면거부권에, 체력관리사, 마사지사, 통역관, 언론담담자까지 주어졌다
The Red Sox also had to provide him with a car and pay for his apartments in spring training and in Boston.
거기에 차주고, 스캠과 보스턴에 아파트 월세까지 지불했다
In retrospect, the most comical parts of the deal were the bonuses Matsuzaka would receive if he won the Cy Young or MVP. In six years he received a handful of Cy Young votes, those coming in 2008 when he finished fourth. There haven't been any since.
돌이키건데, 계약중 가장 욱기는건 송판이가 싸이영이나 엠비피를 수상할때 받을 보너스다. 6년간 싸이영표 받은것중 08년 4등때 좀 받았고, 그후로는 제로
Matsuzaka was 33-15 with a 3.72 ERA in his first two seasons with the Red Sox, pitching 372.1 innings and making 61 starts. He pitched well in the postseason, too, winning three of his seven starts, including the third game of the 2007 World Series.
송판이는 첫두해 성적이, 33승15패에 3.72 방어율, 372.1 이닝, 61 선발등판이었다. 포시에도 잘했는데, 07년 월시 3차전을 비롯 7번 등판에 3승을 올렸다
In the four seasons since, Matsuzaka made only 54 starts and pitched 293.2 innings. He was 17-21 with a 5.42 ERA. He made going on the disabled list a habit and has little connection to the team. His tenure with the Sox will be remembered for the 2007 World Series title, but also for all the wasted days afterward.
그후 4년간 단지 54경기 선발 등판에 293.2 이닝을 던졌다. 17승21패에 5.42 방어율. 디엘에 가는게 습관화됐고, 팀에 거의 연결고리를 갖지않았다. 송판이의 삭스 커리어중 기억될것은 07년 월시우승이랑 그후 모조리 허비된 시간이다.
In all, the Red Sox are 68-47 in the games he has started, most of those victories coming because Terry Francona was skilled at knowing when to take Matsuzaka out of the game. He averaged only 5.2 innings over his 115 starts, dawdling on the mound time after time, afraid to throw strikes.
삭스는 송판 선발경기에 68승47패인데, 대부분은 티토가 언제 송판이를 강판시키느냐를 잘 해낸덕이다. 115경기 선발중 단지 평균 5.2이닝만 던졌고, 마운드에서는 스트락 던지길 주저하며 계속 시간만 끌었다.
Matsuzaka has a 4.47 career ERA, the fifth highest in team history for pitchers with at least 100 starts.
4.47 커리어 방어율은 팀역사상 최소 백경기 선발중 5번째 나쁜 성적이다
In essence, the Red Sox dropped $103 million on a fairly decent middle-of-the-rotation starter. The pitcher who compares most favorably to Matsuzaka statistically is John Maine. He made roughly $7 million in his seven seasons in the majors.
결과적으로, 삭스는 꽤 준수한 3선발투수에 103밀을 쏟아부었다. 성적면에서 가장 비슷한 선수가 잔 메인인데, 메인은 7년간 메이저에서 7밀정도 벌었다.
Philosophically, signing Matsuzaka is the point where the Red Sox first deviated from the idea of winning through player development and making smart decisions to spending money wildly because they could.
큰틀에서 볼때, 송판이 계약이야말로, 삭스가 선수개발을 통해 우승하고 현명한 의사결정을 하던것에서, 돈이 많으니까 미친듯이 써보자는 주의로 넘어간 시작점이라 할수있다.
Signing Matsuzaka was more about winning headlines than games. Free agents like J.D. Drew, John Lackey, Mike Cameron, Bobby Jenks, and Carl Crawford were more of the same.
송판이 계약은 경기보다는 신문헤드라인을 이겨보자는 것이었다. 드루, 래끼, 카메론, 젱스, ㅋㅋ와 같은 화선수계약도 마찬가지
Instead of building teams, the Red Sox flung star players together and hoped for the best. In led them down the path to 2012 and 92 losses.
팀을 만든다기보다, 스타선수들을 모아놓고 잘되길 바랬다. 결국 2012시즌과 92패로 이어졌다
Matsuzaka doesn't seem like a bad guy. But because the Red Sox treated him like a rock star, there was resentment among teammates. Matsuzaka wasn't really a member of the team, he was a guy who pitched on occasion. He went from being a superstar in 2006 to an expensive spare part in 2012.
송판이는 나쁜놈같아 보이지는 않지만, 구단에서 롹스타처럼 다뤘기때문에, 다른선수들은 싫어했다. 송판이는 결코 팀멤버가 되지 못하고, 때때로 던지는 선수였을뿐이었다. 06년 수퍼스타에서 12년 비싼 잉여로 전락했다
Unknowingly, Matsuzaka became a symbol of what has gone wrong with the Red Sox and few in the organization will be sad to see him go into free agency.
모르는사이, 송판이는 레삭 망조의 상징이 되었고, 계약만료에 슬퍼하는 구단관계자는 없다
It only makes sense that the Red Sox have him on the mound tonight to end their worst season in decades.
몇십년만의 최악시즌을 마감하는 경기에 선발로 오르는것이야말로, 오로지 적격일뿐
Matsuzaka did get one break. At least the game is not at Fenway Park.
송판이가 한가지 운이 좋았다면, 그건 바로 오늘 경기가 펜웨이가 아니라는것뿐
