쉐릴, 웨이버

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever George Sherrill, who was an All-Star closer for the Baltimore Orioles just a year ago, has been put on waivers by the club, a major league source confirmed Wednesday on the condition of anonymity.

Sherrill, a left-hander, entered the season as the incumbent eighth-inning setup man, but he has never been able to find his comfort level mechanically since the start of spring training, a major reason he has a 7.32 ERA in 34 appearances. He lost the setup job early on, and it eventually fell to lefty Hong-Chih Kuo, who wound up making the National League All-Star team.
스프링 캠프때부터 이어온 쉐릴의 메커닉 문제가 좀처럼 치유되지 않다보니 다저스가 결단을 내렸습니다. 다저스로 건너온지 1년도 안되는 시점에 웨이버를 당해버렸습니다.

Sherrill even went onto the disabled for a time in late May and early June because of a fairly negligible back issue so he could go on a minor league rehabilitation assignment in hopes of working out his issues with his pitching delivery.

Sherrill's poor performance makes it highly unlikely that another club will claim him, but outright waivers are irrevocable, meaning that if Sherrill is claimed, the Dodgers will lose him to that club. If Sherrill clears, meaning three full business days pass from the time he was waived without another team claiming him, he will have the option of accepting an outright assignment, presumably to Triple-A Albuquerque, or becoming a free agent.
일단 쉐릴은 FA가 아니지만, 5년차 연봉중재자이기때문에 마이너행을 위해서는 쉐릴의 동의가 필요하다고 하네요. 쉐릴이 마이너행을 거부한다면 그는 FA가 되는 것이겠죠.

Sherrill, 33, was arbitration-eligible last winter and agreed to terms with the Dodgers on a one-year, $4.5 million contract, with bonuses of $75,000 each for reaching the 60- and 70-appearance plateaus. If he rejects the assignment, it will be a rather expensive parting of the ways for the Dodgers. But given Sherrill's struggles this season, it isn't necessarily a given that he would be able to find work elsewhere this late in the season.

Sherrill was the Dodgers' primary trading-deadline acquisition last summer when they got him from the Orioles for longtime third-base prospect Josh Bell and minor league pitcher Steven Johnson. Because the Dodgers already had an All-Star closer of their own in Jonathan Broxton, Sherrill immediately fell back into an eighth-inning role, something he accepted willingly and without complaint.

Sherrill also never has hidden from his issues this season, freely discussing them with the media whenever he has been asked to do so and pointing the finger of blame only at himself.

쉐릴은 다저스소속으로써의 성적인데, 1년사이에 너무나도 다른 선수가 되어버렸습니다. 일단 어떻게 되든 다저스가 쉐릴의 남은 연봉을 줘야하고, 다만 쉐릴이 FA(마이너행 거부)를 선언해서 다른 팀으로 이적한다면 0.4M정도는 세이브할 수 있을거 같지만, 현재 쉐릴의 성적으로는 그 어떤 팀이 그를 클레임할지...

일단 이 무브로 인해 다저스는 완벽하게 8회 셋업맨을 구해야할 입장에 놓여져있습니다. 쿼홍치가 잘해주고 있지만, 연투가 불가능한 상황과 벨리사리오의 제한 DL로 인해 릴리프가 부족한 입장에 놓여져있습니다.

이런 가운데, 콜레티 단장이 최근에 여러팀과 접촉을 가졌는데, 릴리프 자원이 다소 풍부한 토론토와 접근하지 않을까 하는 예상이 마이크소시아닷컴에 나왔더군요.

일단 내부에서 수혈하는 방법으로는 트론코소의 재콜업이나 켈리 얀센의 콜업이 있을 수 있겠죠. 과연 어떤 무브를 취할지 궁금하네요. 당분간 쉐릴의 자리는 매니의 DL해제로 사용되지 않을까 싶습니다.
