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.

目前加入大西洋聯盟的紐約州長島鴨子隊的他到目前為止總共在大聯盟出賽354場比賽,拿下132勝91敗防禦率3。66的成績,並且吃下1959局局數,從2001年開始升上大聯盟直到2011年都效力於小熊隊,其中在2003到2007年共五年的時間平均每季投了215局,可說是耐操的球員之一。

去年轉隊到馬林魚隊,出賽35場共20場先發,整季投了132。1局拿下7勝10敗3中繼點,並投出一場完封勝,防禦率是還不錯的4。49,三振率雖然跟他平均有點落差,但仍還有平均九局投出6。5次三振的數據,只是保送率太高,5。1次/9局控球不佳,最終球季末沒有球團願意跟他簽約。

他曾經在07年與球團簽下5年9150萬美金,也曾經在09年對太空人投出無安打比賽,生涯更是有7個球季單季10勝以上,2個球季9勝及1個球季7勝,這樣的投手因為場上脾氣的問題讓球團對他卻步,如今到獨立聯盟紐約州長島鴨子隊發展,也希望他能夠找機會回到球場上,我們想看強投豪打的選手阿!
