已經確定了，水手下任的教頭就是: Don Wakamatsu 根據Seattle Times的 Geoff Baker 球隊內部是有不少人喜歡老水手Cora，不過最終決定權在GM 傑克身上而在老闆簽字同意後，最後由Wakamatsu出任 Wakamatsu是第一位亞裔的大聯盟教練，不過他是第四代的日藉移民所以已經幾乎不會講日文了正式記者會應該會美國時間明早才舉行 http://blog.seattletimes.nwsource.com/mariners/2008/11/18/ wakamatsu_gets_job.html Wakamatsu gets job Expect an announcement by tomorrow morning, but Don Wakamatsu is the new manager of the Mariners. An insider source just called and told me that the six other candidates will be advised shortly that they did not get the job and that Wakamatsu is the guy. Yes, King 5 anchor Paul Silvi gets credit for the initial "scoop" that Wakamatsu was the front-runner. The hiring is now going down. The team has signed off on the decision. There were people within the Mariners organization who favored Joey Cora for the job. But in the end, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik got total say over the decision and Wakamatsu was his man. In the end, the team's ownership, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Chris Larson and others, did have to approve the choice. But it's now done. Zduriencik has gone into quiet mode and won't be addressing the media today. He's been really good with the updates until now, so it seems his next update will be that a new manager has been named. Wakamatsu is the first major-league manager of Asian descent, his father being a third generation Japanese-American born in a detention camp near the California-Oregon border during the World War II. But this may not mean much on the language front, since Wakamatsu himself admits he only speaks a smattering of that tongue. Some of you will note that Wakamatsu was once a major-league catcher. He was also one in the minors at Class AAA Tacoma in the Mariners' organization in the 1990s. This is nothing unusual, as many catchers go on to become managers. It's a position that helps them see the entire game, from a broader perspective than others may have. in my 11 seasons of covering major league ball, I've covered two managers who were coaches at the major-league level -- Buck Martinez and John Gibbons -- and one, John McLaren, who caught at Class AAA.
