Kim's second stint in Arizona ends after two awful starts
김병현선수가 지난 8월3일 애리조나로 트레이드 되었는데 두번 선발등반을 끝으로 방출되었습니다. 실력 있는 선수인데 안타갑습니다.
애리조나에서 김병현선수의 두번째 등판이 두번 끔찍한 선발등판으로 끝나다.
김병현선수의 애리조나 다이아몬드백스에서의 최근 등판이 단지 두번만에 끝났다.
애리조나는 김병현선수를 방출대기 시켰다. 전날 김병현선수는 플로리다 말린즈와 14-5로 진 경기에서 단지 한 타자만 잡고 물러났다.
밥 멜빈 감독은 그가 17개를 던진 후에 강판시켰고 그 때까지 4실점 3자책점을 한 상태였다. 애리조나에서 두번 등판한 경기 방어율은 23.63으로 대폭 높아졌다.
"그 상태에서 결과를 얻으려고 한 것이 아니었다. 어떤 결정을 해야 했다". "김병현선수는 팀에서 두 경기를 던졌고 두 경기 모두 잘 던지지는 못했다. 현재 팀 사정으로는 해당 선발자리에서 더 나은 결과를 얻어야 한다." 라고 멜빈은 말했다.
김병현선수는 과거 팀의 마무리 투수였고 8월3일 멜빈이 웨이버 공시를 통해 말린스로부터 데려왔다.

Kim's second stint in Arizona ends after two awful starts
Aug. 15, 2007 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
MIAMI -- Byung-Hyun Kim's latest stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks lasted only two starts.
Arizona designated Kim for assignment Wednesday, a day after he retired only one batter in a 14-5 loss to the Florida Marlins.
Manager Bob Melvin pulled Kim after 17 pitches. The right-hander allowed four runs, three earned, to boost his ERA in two starts with the Diamondbacks to 23.63.
"We weren't getting results there, and we had to make a decision," Melvin said. "He pitched a couple of games for us and didn't do very well in either game. The position we're in now, we have to have better results in that spot."
Kim, Arizona's former closer, was reacquired Aug. 3 after the Marlins waived him.
The NL West-leading Diamondbacks also designated for assignment left-hander Joe Kennedy and placed infielder Chad Tracy on the 15-day disabled list with right knee tendinitis. Recalled from Triple-A Tucson were right-handers Dustin Nippert and Jailen Peguero and outfielder Jeff Salazar.
Kennedy had a 20.25 ERA in three relief appearances with Arizona after being claimed off waivers from Oakland on Aug. 4.
"You take some chances and try to add some guys you think could help and have had some success," Melvin said. "If it doesn't work out, you have to move on."
The Diamondbacks have 10 days to trade, release or send down Kim and Kennedy.
Tracy has been hobbled despite receiving a cortisone shot, and the Diamondbacks decided extended rest was the best treatment. He's batting .261 in 75 games.
"If we can't run him out there for consecutive games, the position we're in right now, it's difficult to deal with," Melvin said. "Hopefully in the 15 days we can alleviate this problem and get him back at a key time."
Nippert and Peguero provide reinforcements in the bullpen. Salazar, who made a sensational over-the-fence catch in right field for Arizona earlier this season, gives the team a fourth outfielder.
Yusmeiro Petit will likely be recalled to take Kim's place in the rotation Sunday at Atlanta. Petit was 2-3 with a 4.23 ERA in seven starts with Arizona before being sent to Tucson.
