A rumor appeared here in Taipei today that Joe Torre has been in touch with Wanger. The rumor appeared the same day that Kuo Hong-chih arrived back here for a holiday.

However, Wanger has said several times that he wants to stay in New York. Plus, as we all know, and he knows very clearly, the guy can’t bat! National League is not the place for him.

Well, your “expertise” lacks reality, though. Dodgers has expressed its interest in Wang already. Simply put, Wanger will not be in minor league waiting for call-up, not in 2010. With $1 million, you will see him in other uniform.

Well, your prediction is simply not working. Angels, Mariners, Dodgers, and many others could simply throw in $400,000 petty cash and give him a major league contract. If there is a major league contract available, who is going to take a pitty minor league contract from Yankees?

My prediction will be that Yankee either offers him a minimum of $1 million plus contract with incentive, or he will be gone.

There was a surgery. Before the surgery, Wang was actually a curve ball pitcher. He was signed by Yankee because of his ability to pitch wide angle of curve ball. Not sinker. After the surgery, the coach down in Tampa felt that he could try sinker to relief some presure on his shoulder. That’s how he got his trademark heavy sinker ball.

As news said, he will start light pitching activity as of December 1 and should be available by spring training.

Giving him a minor league contract is simply stupid. After non-tender and making him a free agent, any team could sign him a major league contract with $400,000 salary and loaded incentive. This will be the risk Yankee needs to take. What a scene to see Yankees hitting his sinker into double play!

You’re forgetting that this is Wang’s second shoulder surgery. He also had a shoulder injury a few years ago that cost him a few months but didn’t require surgery.

He’s always had a questionable shoulder. That’s why the Yankees never signed him long term.

YEAH SERIOUSLY WHAT’S WITH THOSE ASIANS AMIRITE. They all look the same, it’s really cool and funny to make a Mr. Miyagi joke about a Taiwanese guy.

God, that is some Jeff Dunham levels of low right there.

Keep fucking that chicken.

Who cares, as long as those two guys dressed as umpires are behind home plate again. They’re terrific.
