以下不负责新闻解读 In fact, finding Hendry at all in the coming days will be difficult as he plays it low-key in his search for the man to replace Dusty Baker on the Cubs bench 这几天 为了找下一个manager, Jim Hendry躲起来了 害记者要找他都很难 The agent for Joe Girardi was not available Wednesday, but this much is known as the Cubs’ quest for the right manager begins to take shape: 星期三我们想去采访 Joe Girardi的经纪人 结果也是找不到 不过随着小熊队寻找manager的行动渐渐明朗化 这也是可以预期的情形 (Girardi 小时候是小熊球迷 长大是小熊队捕手- 看看他在小熊队的时期 他当过我们家三巨头的捕手 :P 入选过All-Star 也担任过小熊队的队长 最近的经历是马林鱼的manager) Hendry expects to speak today with Girardi and set up a meeting for sometime next week. Cubs people have confirmed that they expect former big-league manager Lou Piniella to become a candidate and that they figure to meet “at the appropriate time,” according to one source. Hendry今天会和Girardi谈话 并且在下星期与他进行正式的面谈 根据消息来源指出 Lou Piniella 也会是我们的manager候选人 并且也会和Hendry进行面试 In addition, Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly, who may interview for the vacant San Francisco Giants job, also may get an interview in the coming days with the Cubs. 小熊队的球评 Bob Brenly可能也会和Hendry进行面试 巨人队对他也有兴趣 (Brenly曾经是巨人队catcher 和响尾蛇队manager) Those appear to be the three leading candidates. One name you can cross off the list is Buck Showalter, fired Wednesday by the Texas Rangers. Showalter sought the Cubs in 2002, and Hendry granted him an interview. The Cubs don’t appear at all interested this time. 以上是我们名单上的前三位候选人 你可以把Buck Showalter的名字划掉 2002年 Hendry跟他面试过 不过这一次我们对他没兴趣 If Girardi, Piniella and Brenly are the “Big Three,” how does each stack up as a manager? Here are brief scouting reports, based on observations from several sources: 以下是本报对三大热门候选人的深入分析: ‧Girardi: Although the Florida Marlins, who fired him this week, have painted Girardi as some sort of Showalter control freak, that’s not necessarily the case. 虽然Girardi被马林鱼开除这件事似乎使他看起来像是有自我控制毛病的人 但实情并不一定是这样 Girardi certainly is “old school,” meaning that he’s a stickler for doing things “right,” but the young players on the Marlins seemed genuinely to like and respect him. He was “hands-on” in that he would take the time to teach, going so far as to get down in the dirt with his players. 他是一个 "old school" 类型的人 总是坚持要把事情做对 但马林鱼的年轻选手们似乎都非常喜欢并尊敬他 他是那种实际做事的人 愿意花时间亲自教导他的球员们 Many observers describe him as “professional” in his dealings with his players and the media. His New York Yankees-like rules (no facial hair, for example) went over without incident with the young Marlins, many of whom were just happy to “be here.” 许多观察家认为他对待球员和媒体的态度很专业 他同时有着像洋基队的那种 '头发胡子要乾净' 的规定 谁也不能违反他的规定 Cubs fans may shudder in recollection of Baker and Don Baylor when they hear that Girardi isn’t adverse to giving up an out in the first inning by bunting. That goes against the new conventional wisdom, which argues that outs are more valuable than bases. 小熊迷可能不会太高兴一件事 - Girardi跟Baker和Don Baylor (前前manager) 一样 喜欢第一局就下点球战术 But Girardi also seems big on doing things “right” as far as fundamentals go, something the Cubs lacked under Baker. 但Girardi有一个很大的优点 他注重Fundamentals 这正是在Baker带领下的小熊队所欠缺的 He doesn’t mind getting in players’ faces when they don’t do things correctly. However, his generally positive nature couldn’t have hurt and probably helped the Marlins this year. 当球员做错事的时候 他会去找球员谈 他正面的态度并没有伤害马林鱼 相反的 也许还帮了马林鱼 Piniella: Sure, people have this image of the hot-headed Piniella picking up bases and tossing them into the outfield when he becomes overly upset at an umpire’s call. 大家对Piniella的印象大概就是 如果他不满意裁判的判决 他会生气的把垒包拔起来丢到外野去 (@@) Beneath the intense outward demeanor lies a highly prepared manager, both friends and critics say. 在他爆烈的外表下 他其实是一个总是做好准备的manager Piniella appears to be adaptable, as his tenure in Seattle showed. In the bandbox Kingdome, he let his big hitters hit. He was willing to “make things happen” in spacious Safeco Field. Piniella似乎是会依情形做调整的人 当他在水手队的时候 他让队上的强打者打球 愿意赌他们可以在宽广的Safeco球场打出安打 Piniella can be impatient with pitchers, especially young ones, who don’t throw strikes and he may be best served by a strong-willed pitching coach. Piniella对那些不会投好球的投手 尤其是年轻投手 可能会很没耐心 (我们家好像有很多这类的 XD) 同时要当他的投手教练 也必须很强势 He’s a stickler for preparation — his own and his players’ — and he has had a knack for knowing who needs a day off. 他是那种总是会做好准备的人 他对他自己和他的球员都是这样的要求 -而且他总是知道什麽时候谁该放假一天 ‧Brenly: He managed the Arizona Diamondbacks to the 2001 World Series title and seemed to be the perfect antidote to the overly officious Showalter, whom he replaced. Brenly在2001年带领了响尾蛇队拿到世界冠军 Brenly often cringed audibly in the Cubs’ broadcast booth this year over the team’s poor fundamental play. Even though he has few team rules, he’s a stickler for playing the game “right.” Brenly在转播小熊队比赛的时候 常不敢太批评小熊队的fundamental 但他其实是一个坚持要"Play the game right"的人 Underneath his friendly, laid-back and even shy demeanor lies a fierce competitive nature. 在他亲切随合有点害羞的外表下 有着强烈的企图心 He’ll put pressure on the defense, and friends and critics alike have noted that he’s not afraid to manage by the seat of his pants and by gut feeling. 他会严格要求防守 朋友和评论员们认为 他是那种不怕用直觉manage的人 Brenly effectively used bench coach in Bob Melvin, now the Diamondbacks’manager, during his time in Arizona. Brenly在响尾蛇的时候 有效的使用了当时的板凳教练Bob Melvin -现在已经是蛇队的Manager One criticism was that he overworked relievers such as Oscar Villarreal and Mike Koplove, but most managers hear that kind of criticism sooner or later. 有人批评Brenly太操牛棚 -像是Oscar Villarreal 和 Mike Koplove 但是大部分的Manager其实都是这样的啊 後: 其实前面两个候选人我不熟 但是我很喜欢Brenly as a broadcaster 他讲评比赛真的很好 他看了小熊队两年了 对大家的能力也很清楚 而且我听过他讲评的时候说 他喜欢用自己家养的球员 <-所以我很喜欢他 ※ 编辑: shawshien 来自: 70.21.245.131 (10/08 14:54)
