I also have feeling Wang will have better start this season than last season according to what he said to Taiwanese press.

He say last season is his first full season he doesn’t know how to get ready for next season and what kind of pace for training,even though he started his personal training one month earlier than reporting day.But he still doesn’t get ready in time.That’s is why he struggled in April and May.This time he know how to do that and also start his personal training one month in advance.

I hope you’re right Peter…but is it really responsible to lable a kid who hasn’t thrown a pitch in a league as high as AAA yet as The Franchise?

His demeanor seems pretty cool from all indications, so maybe he’ll handle it a bit better than the other “Franchise” running around NYC these days (aka Stevie Knicks aka Steve Francis)...but I can just see it now, with all the expectations heeped upon this kid; the first rough outing he endures and BAM, here come all the columns and headlines lombasting the poor kid for not being the team’s savior for years to come.

Lets not forget…we heard alot more hype and nicknames for guys like Sterling Hitchcock, Brandon Claussen, even Gerald “Ice” Williams than we for the true diamonds in the rough a la Mo, Pettitte, and even Mendoza.

All I’m saying is the Franchise Tag seems, I don’t know, a little too giddy and Mets-like at this stage of the game.

Lets play it cool….keep up the excellent blogging, otherwise.

Wang told Taiwanese press he wants to learn new off-spend pitch,such as curveball.I also heard Wang learn how to throw cutter from MO last season.I think cutter is good one to go with sinker.Cutter is good one to lefty and sinker is good to righty,even though Wang show he isn’t afraid of lefty.

Yankee pitching coach staff think he doesn’t need new pitch and he just need to improve what he has,such as slider.Wang told Taiwanese media his slider is not as good as before he got hurt in 2001.Wang tries to get his good slider back this spring and Gator help him about that recently.Learning new pitch is a big deal.Someone say you may mess your old pitch by learning new pitch.In Wang’s case,Wang may lose his sinker when he learns curveball.
