(標題取得真鳥:~) http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/kris-benson-to-retire-011011 1996的狀元郎 Kris Benson，曾經是海盜夢寐以求的大投手、也有兩個不錯的新人年 但01年開手肘的Tommy John讓他花一整年復健，再起後又在07年動肩膀旋轉肌的刀 這次花了兩年時間復建再重回球場，但以不復當年之勇，今天決定告老還鄉: 「I’m done,」 the 36-year-old said by phone from his home outside Atlanta. 「I decided pretty much after this past season that I wasn’t going to pursue anything. I’ve been putting way too much into it and not getting enough out of it, as far as the rehab, working out, training, and then not getting the type of results I expect from myself. 「I wanted to make this decision now, rather than go into another season on another minor-league deal. I didn’t want to go through the head games of, ‘Am I going to make the team?’ I don’t mind the pressure. I just don’t want to fall into another situation like I had the last couple years, where I busted my tail getting back and then got hurt again shortly after I made the team.」 真是令人沮喪的留言啊... 海盜歷史上選過3次狀元: 1986年的 Jeff King，在隊8年間好像沒甚麼特出的成就(?)，累積WAR還不到10... 1996年是 Kris Benson，就是上面那位.. 2002年是 Bryan Bullington，去年終於在皇家拿到一勝，現在也不知道在哪取暖了... 2011年的狀元會是誰呢 不管他是誰，希望他至少能有一個平凡的大聯盟生涯...阿門 --
