Poll: Would you want the Blue Jays to go after Yu Darvish?
There is a great debate going on in the Yu Darvish Fanshot about if he would
be worth the money that it would cost to get him. It is really enjoyable to
see the different opinions, but I thought that a poll would be interesting.
Now I don't know what it would take to land him, with DiceK the Red Sox went
nuts and over bid everyone by a long shot. Maybe they will do it again. There
are a lot of deep pocket teams out there, then the Jays have pretty deep
pockets too.
I'm going to use a $55 million posting cost and a 6 year, $15 million
contract for the poll. I could be off on both but that adds up to $145
million, that's likely in the ball park.
For me? I haven't seen him pitch and, more importantly, playing in Japan, he
doesn't have stats that I can easily quantify, so that would be too much
money for me. To spend that much I'd like to be more sure of what I'm
getting. He looks like a better pitcher than DiceK, but you won't know until
he is here. Then if Alex and his scout said that he was worth that much, I
really couldn't argue.
There would be benefits, outside of his play on the field. He'd bring us a
lot of notice from Japan. I'm sure they would want his starts shown on TV
over there. Toronto would gain some in tourism as well as the team picking up
some extra ticket sales with folks coming from over there to watch. So the
team would gain back some of that money. And, if he turned out to be great
and led us to the World Series, he'd be worth every penny.

這篇主要討論藍鳥是否有必要競逐達比修有？
他符合高價價碼嗎？紅襪當年曾經為松坂付出天價，這次也許會再這麼做，藍鳥已有本錢
參與競標。
作者提到他沒看過達比修投球，他目前的一切成績都是在日職的表現，看起來達爾似乎比
松坂優質？但無法確定，除法他真正踏上大聯盟土地投球，達比修真的值這麼多錢嗎？我
不敢說。
當然，他還是會來其他週邊效益，比方日本的高度關注，很多人期待透過電視看到他在大
聯盟投球，多倫多主場有機會吸引日本球迷的蒞臨，球隊也將受益。假如，他能帶領藍鳥
隊打進世界大賽，那麼他值得這個高價價碼。
