松坂ＵＰＤＡＴＥ、MLB HP記事 -- Ｑ＆Ａ

How do you think Matsuzaka will perform in his first year in the Majors? And what should we expect in the future? Is he the next Pedro Martinez?
-- John S., Seymour, Ind.

With his talent alone, I think Matsuzaka should win about 15 games in 2007. Whether he wins more than that will be determined by how quickly he adjusts to a more competitive environment. As for the future, I think he has a chance to be special, but it's not fair to compare anyone to Martinez. When all is said and done, Martinez will go down as one of the great pitchers of all time.

2007年は最低１５勝、マルチネスは偉大な投手なので、比較するには早い。
最初の２年間の成績で、最低３０勝して、信頼を得ることが大事だ。
