Guidry Hopes He’s Wearing Pinstripes in the Spring 　　By JOE BRESCIA 　　Published: December 23, 2007 　　Ron Guidry, dismissed as the Yankees’ pitching coach after two seasons, 　　has been sitting home in Louisiana, waiting for a job offer. 　　From whom? How about the Yankees. 　　“I would imagine probably I’ll get a call and maybe be invited to spring 　　　training again,” said Guidry, who has had a role with the Yankees every 　　　spring since his pitching career ended in 1988. “So I’ll just wait and 　　　see. If they don’t call, I won’t go. I’ve got to make sure that they 　　　want me to go.” 　　Guidry, who was signing autographs last weekend in Red Bank, N.J., said he 　　had had no offers. 　　Joe Torre, who signed a contract to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers after 　　rejecting an offer from the Yankees, retained Rick Honeycutt as the 　　pitching coach. Torre took along Don Mattingly and Larry Bowa from his 　　Yankees coaching staff. 　　“I talked to Joe when he signed with the Dodgers,” Guidry said. 　　“But there were things going on with the Dodgers, and that was fine. 　　　Joe explained some things, and I said: ‘Hey, that’s fine. I didn’t 　　　call to see if I can get a job. I just called to see how you were doing.” 　　Unlike Torre, who said it would be a while before he returned to Yankee 　　Stadium, Guidry said he would be open to returning. 　　“I’ll think about Old-Timers’ Day,” he said. “It’s months from now. 　　　It’s too early for me to be making decisions.” 　　He still keeps up on Yankees news, including the possible trade with the 　　Minnesota Twins for Johan Santana. He is a fan of Santana, who, like Guidry 　　during his prime, is a slightly built, hard-throwing left-hander. 　　Although Guidry would not say whether he thought the Yankees should make 　　the trade, he expressed some caution. Guidry did not pitch more than 200 　　innings until he was 27. Santana, 28, has exceeded 200 innings in four 　　seasons. 　　Guidry said the Yankees’ starting staff was strong. 　　“I think they can win with what they have now, without Santana,” he said. 　　Guidry added that Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy had the potential to be 　　front-of-the-rotation pitchers. 　　“Both kids have great futures ahead of them,” he said. “But you have to 　　　give them some time.” 　　News source：http://0rz.tw/8a3ph 　　翻譯：http://0rz.tw/d93sw 　 --
