林子偉情歸何處?

兩年前在紅襪前翻意與陳醫師一場大戰洗版之後,我在本站的最後一po是希望林子偉早日出國。

想不到一隔就是快兩年,這次這一po又是希望林子偉早日出國。

先不講這兩天蘋果報大記者羅惠齡爆料報導,"大聯盟搶林子偉 簽約金喊200萬美元",光是林子偉小朋友的主權歸屬,就是很大的問題。

轉戰中職的高雄蒼蠅曾透露,當年洋基40萬簽約未成,就是敗在半路殺出的八方環球臺灣代表李瑋川身上。

這位現在臺灣棒球界最紅火的一哥經紀,手上握有目前最紅火的臺灣英雄陳偉殷,當年率先曝光洋基和林子偉私下議約,一戰成名,硬是把林子偉在逃學出國之前給攔了下來;聽說還讓觀察林子偉數年的洋基球探差點飯碗不保。

不過根據蘋果報的報導,目前林子偉的談判權似乎是掌握在教練李來發手上。

當然,去年一度在檯面下代表林子偉發聲的,還有真心真意愛棒球的陳醫師,以及前中華職棒高級主管林俊成先生。

不說你不知道,陳醫師目前雖然是大聯盟王牌經紀人Scott Boras柏拉斯的臺灣全權代表,但當年他可是負責了旅美強投郭泓志的復健工作,而且一向不吝與棒球界分享他協助郭泓志復健的心路歷程。

林俊成先生則是在離開中華職棒那個爛坑之後,轉而擔任波士頓紅襪隊在臺首席球探;還因為多次介紹臺灣小將到紅襪隊發展,居功厥偉,在紅襪隊封王時還獲贈冠軍戒指一枚,成為唯一非球員而擁有大聯盟冠軍戒指的臺灣第一人,也算是臺灣之光。

有這兩位棒球紅人的相挺,相信林子偉的大聯盟之路,一定會加倍順遂!

所以目前整理,已知擁有林子偉小朋友話事權的幾位相關人士有:

1> 我才是正港八方環球代表人的李瑋川李先生
2> 去美國不如去日本的李來發李教練
3> 我是真心為了臺灣棒球的陳醫師
4> 你的戒指有我大嗎?有嗎?的林俊成林先生

而據傳對林子偉小朋友友表示過性趣興趣的美國職棒球團則有:

1> 洋基 30萬-40萬
2> 雙城 40萬-60萬-80萬-100萬
3> 勇士 30萬
4> 紅襪 100萬-200萬
5> 遊騎兵 120萬
6> 印地安人 50萬-90萬-120萬

根據轉戰中職的高雄蒼蠅透露,其實洋基隊在當年鎩羽而歸之後,早已帶著滿臉豆花脫離戰局,所以李教練所謂"洋基機會最高"云云,應該是純屬虛構。

和雙城球探凱瑞相熟的高雄蒼蠅同時也表示,凱瑞確實曾對李教練開價60萬,但是之後卻被告知印第安人已開價至90萬,逼得凱瑞不得不提價到100萬美金。

之後先後傳出印地安人與紅襪先後競價到120萬,連遊騎兵隊也來加入戰局,直到與林俊成先生藕斷絲連的紅襪隊傳言開價200萬,才暫時休兵。

總之,這場搶人大戰隨著玉山盃的開打,似乎還有得瞧!

高苑工商林子偉加盟紅襪隊?

高苑工商林子偉引起大聯盟球團高度興趣,謠傳洋基已經開價四十萬,並且獲得林家父母首肯,不過經過駐高雄的棒球蒼蠅回報,一切只是誤會一場。

目前已知真正對林子偉有高度興趣的是紅襪隊,而之前公開表示自己『不是單純的球迷,也不是球迷』的旅美名醫陳醫師,也在積極爭取林子偉的經紀約。

林子偉目前的身價,已經由明尼蘇達雙城隊衝高到簽約金六十萬美金,但是紅襪隊在陳醫師的簽線之下,仍然準備在最後一刻出手。

前紅襪隊翻譯法蘭克與陳醫師有深厚交情,他表示,陳醫師曾經不止一次透露,只要能把選手送到美國去,管它中華棒協的規定是甚麼?像紅襪隊未來的先發外野手蔣智賢,就是在高中畢業前由陳醫師協助簽約,獲得出國的機會,即使三民高中遭到懲處,蔣本人也成為唯一未被列入中華隊觀察名單的旅外球員,又有甚麼關係?

希望在陳醫師的協助之下,林子偉能順利和紅襪隊簽約,明年春訓也能帶著他的身高到美國去,跟紅襪隊的美國人說,你看,我們臺灣的,打完威廉波特就可以直接來打MLB了。

來函照登:前紅襪翻譯 vs. Gary Chen

以下是前紅襪隊翻譯Frank日前留言,文中對Gary Chen先生有諸多評論,文中亦論及旅美選手蔣智賢、葉丁仁、唐肇廷等。

八卦站小編秉持中立立場不予評論,僅將留言全文刊載如下:



Frank's Field of Dreams 提到...

Gary Chen is someone who I knew through my time as an interpreter for the four Boston Red Sox' minor leaguers they signed in 2006, he's a very suspicious character, mostly being a jerk who likes to boss people around and act like they work under him.

There are plenty of stories I could say about him, but let's just go with a couple right now, I am not someone who is putting up wrong information.

#1, Gary first contacted me through my website, www.franksfieldofdreams.com, all he asked was my AIM screen name, and said he is just a fan wanted to talk about baseball. After talking to him for an hour online, he told me the reason why he contacted me, wanted to see if I would be interested of working as an interpreter. During our first contact, he also told me he is good friend with Tsao, which I seriously doubts now after reading the above.

#2, My University student newspaper and the town's local paper interviewed me after I told one of my former professor of my new job at the time, he found out, and got very upset at me, must have yelled at me on the telephone for about 30 minutes over it, and I was working at the time with players on the field, games going on etc.

#3, Gary called just about everyday to check players' status wants to know every detail that goes on in their life, such as 1 pm, what did they do, 3 pm, what did they do, what kind of food they ate for dinner, how much weights they lifted today, or what kind of conditioning they did after practice today etc., acting like he's their agent, more than just a friend or the scout who discovered them, after I mention it to my real boss, Craig Shipley, he promised that Gary will back off and stop bothering me because Gary, as a scout, is not with the player development.

#3, The highest paid player, Chiang, sort of get special treatment from Gary, he received a PSP from Gary during his time scouting him, when he brought it over to Fort Myers, it wasn't working and needs to be fixed, Gary once again called me after Shipley told him to leave me alone, this time in a better tone than the last one, wanted me to mail it to his hometown of Huntington Beach, CA so he can get it fixed, first I told him why don't I just take him to the local Edison Mall in Fort Myers and get it fixed, he said he brought it for Chiang, let him take care of it. I told him sure, I will get the equipment manager Mike Stelmach to mail it to him since he is the one handling the mails at the Minor League complex, after I told Mike about it, he said no, because Red Sox don't do "this and that" for any of the players. I told Gary I couldn't mail it to him, guess what, he lost his temper again, and now switching back to his bossy mode, even had the audacity of asking me, why don't I just take it to the local post office? Where I don't have transportation. This is one of example where he wanted me to do stuff against organization policy.

#4, One of the player, Yeh had bunch of instant noodles mailed from Taiwan (must been at least 30 cups) to him from his parents, but had to leave for Lowell two weeks later, I told him I will given the rest to the other three players arriving later, which I did. One day, Chiang ate instant noodle for lunch, Gary found out, again he was very furious at me, this time for not being able to take Chiang out for lunch, well...

#1, Chiang never asked me to take him out, Gary said it is my duty to knock on his door everyday, asking him where he wants to go eat, where this kind of special treatment don't go on the other three players.

#2, Chao-Ting Tang who is with the Tigers now, was on his last day of his three day trial in Fort Myers. If I am not wrong, I left the hotel around 11 am that day to help him check in the airport, so I skip lunch, and was not in hotel.

This time, after previously being chewed out on the phone few times prior, I told him to quit acting like my boss, and I work for the team not him. But he said I wouldn't have the job without him, well...who contacted who for help at first? I enjoyed every co-workers I had very much, front office people to the ones stationed in Fort Myers year round, but Gary was the only one who disrespected me very much and made my job tougher.

I decided to quit in July after I couldn't took his garbage anymore, less than five months I start the job, and less than two months from finishing it, the Red Sox went through several more Taiwanese scouts after I resigned until they settle with the current one, Mickey Jiang.

Did I mentioned that once Gary talked to Yeh during practice, and it got Craig Shipley upset because no players should be on the phone during practice/game? Gary just didn't understand what his job really is.

The above are not entirely everything I know about his sketchiness. I have more to whistle-blow, but I don't need to at this moment. By the way, I am sure Gary will see this, just to let him know, just about every co-worker (they might no longer be with the Red Sox now) I knew in Fort Myers also told me you were sketchy, one of them even told me "are you really a doctor" because if you are, you are not the one he would go see if he's sick.

Thanks to everyone who read my rant.

Frank's Field of Dreams 提到...

Just to clarify, Tang was at the Red Sox workout after playing the East/West High School All-American game in New Mexico in the summer of 2006, which he already graduated from San Ming High School.

However, people have heard that Gary Chen signed a couple other players early, it is up to the individuals to decide if he did or not.
