From:http://0rz.tw/c821J Washington says the lefty is considering Texas this offseason Washington说这位左手大将将是我们考虑的对象～～～ ARLINGTON -- New Rangers manager Ron Washington has been hearing from many old friends since being hired on Sunday. Among those who called was free-agent pitcher Barry Zito. Washington and Zito were together with the Oakland Athletics. Zito told Washington on Tuesday that the Rangers would be among the teams he would consider signing with this offseason. "The Texas Rangers weren't on his list before, now we are on his list," Washington said Wednesday afternoon. 大约是说以前Washington和ZITO 以前是一起在A's的教练（一开始打成队友，XD） ～～ZITO在星期二时候 跟他说～Rangers也是他考虑要加入的球队之一喔～ Washington说：『之前RANGERS 并不在ZITO的考虑范围中～不过现在已经在罗....XD』 Zito was 16-10 with a 3.83 ERA in 34 starts for the Athletics in 2006 and is one of the top free agents on the market. The Rangers have made improving their starting pitching a top priority this offseason and officially submitted a bid on pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka on Wednesday. Washington has been busy since being hired as the Rangers manager, and he's not about to slow down anytime soon. His first priority is to fill out his coaching staff and another ex-Ranger could come on board soon. Washington is expected to hire former Gold Glove outfielder Gary Pettis as his first-base coach. Pettis, who won five Gold Gloves, including one for the Rangers in 1990, will be in charge of outfield and base-running instruction. He played for the Rangers in 1990-91. ZITO 去年的成绩16W-10L ，3.83ERA，在他三十四场先发中～～RANGERS把改善先发 当作是第一优先～所以也会一同在星期三的时候把竞标松阪的金额给送出去～ （虽然应该标不大到～～） Washington 当上总教头之後很忙碌～他没有时间慢下来～～他的第一优先顺序 是要补满教练团成员还有老RANGERS球员～～ Washington希望还可以雇用前五次金手套得主 Gary Pettis担任一垒教练～ 他会负责跑垒以及外野守备的指导～～他也在90-91为我们打过球 Art Howe has been hired as the bench coach and Washington has met with Don Wakamatsu about staying on, this time as the third-base coach. "He's a baseball man, I'm a baseball man, hopefully we can get something done," Washington said. Bobby Jones, who was the Rangers' first-base coach last year, is expected to return to Triple-A Oklahoma as their manager. Third-base coach Steve Smith is not expected to be retained. Smith was the Rangers' infield coach, a job Washington had in Oakland. Howe will serve as the Rangers' infield instructor but Washington, who turned third baseman Eric Chavez into a Gold Glove winner in Oakland, has his own special project. Art Howe 被雇用担任板凳教练～希望Wakamatsu 可以担任三垒教练 教头说：『他是一个棒球男，我也是，希望我们可以一起完成一些事情』 괠T垒的教练Bobby Jones，可能会转到3A变成教头～原来三垒的教练～ Steve Smith可能不再续约～ Howe来担任内野教练～ 然而～ 将A's的Eric Chavez 变成金手套的Washington，则有个特别的计画～～ "Hank Blalock is mine," Washington said. "I've got Hank. I'm going to make Hank better." Washington also had his own opinion on shortstop Michael Young's defensive ability. "Every time I've seen him, he's been outstanding," Washington said. 新教头说：『"Hank Blalock 是我的了～我会让他变的更好～』 Washington 也提到了～Young的优异防守力～～说YOUNG实在很杰出～ Washington is also starting to meet with his players and is planning to fly to California next week. Free-agent center fielder Gary Matthews is first on his list. "We need a center fielder," Washington said. "Gary is comfortable here and he's in a place where people are familiar with him. Hopefully he'll want to come back." Added Washington with a laugh, "If not, he'll be at home watching us on TV [in the playoffs]." Washington下星期也要飞去加州～和Gary Matthews谈一下合约的事情～ 新教头说：『我们需要一位中外野，Gary Matthews在这里觉得很舒服～ 也喜欢在一个大家都熟悉他的地方，希望他会回来罗～』 他也顺带笑了一下：『若是没有回来，他明年就要留在家里看电视看我们打季後赛罗！』 （XD～有志气～～迈向季後赛吧） From:http://0rz.tw/c821J --
