Terry Francona, Davey Johnson and the Nationals: Some thoughts 嚼嚼來國民?! 文:By Adam Kilgore http://goo.gl/Qh7yT 嚼嚼圖:(J. Meric - GETTY IMAGES) The Nationals technically have a managerial vacancy and after Terry Francona’s dramatic split from the Boston Red Sox yesterday, perhaps the most accomplished manager in baseball just became available. My man Dave Sheinin floated the idea of the Nationals maybe wanting to bring Francona in for an interview over at Baseball Insider. (連結:http://goo.gl/F0tRl) It’s not likely to happen, and I think that’s the right call. 嚼嚼在昨天戲劇性地離開紅襪，國民是有個空缺也有可能找他來。本報記者Dave Sheinin點出了國民或許該找嚼嚼來面試的這個想法。我覺得國民不會請嚼嚼來，我也認為這是一個好的決定。 Based on conversations with a few people familiar with the Nationals’ thinking, I believe the Nationals will not reach out to Francona and that the job will still be Johnson’s in 2012. General Manager Mike Rizzo did not return a message seeking comment, and since the final decision is ultimately his and ownership’s, that sentiment could change. 跟一個熟悉國民高層想法的人士交談過後，我相信國民不會找嚼嚼來，而是讓 Davey Johnson在2012繼續執教。GM Mike Rizzo沒有對此事發表評論，最後決定權是握在他手上，當然他的想法也有可能改變。 I don’t think it will. My sense all year is that the Nationals’ front office and ownership believes in Johnson. As the Nationals were choosing their next manager following Jim Riggleman’s resignation, the Lerner family had some trepidation about Johnson’s age, 68. After Johnson met with ownership personally, they did a 180-degree turn. 我個人是不認為會有什麼改變。我的感覺跟我說國民隊高層整年都很相信Johnson。在因為Jim Riggleman辭職而要尋找新教頭的當時，國民隊老闆Lerner家族有點擔心 Johnson的年紀(68歲)。而在他跟Johnson面談過後，態度有了180度的大轉變。 Over the final half of the season, Johnson shaped the Nationals’ roster to his style. After some initial bumps, Johnson had the Nationals structured the way he wanted and they finished on a 14-4 tear. He kept them motivated when out of the race and also bent the personnel to best suit his style – it’s not a coincidence they played better the longer Johnson had been in charge. With a new manager for 2012 – a year the Nationals, depending on their offseason moves, may have a shot at contention – they would have to start the process over in spring training. 在後半球季，Johnson把球隊陣容塑造成他自己的風格。經過一番波折，他讓國民最後幾場以14勝4敗的成績結束球季。他讓其他人都去適應他自己的風格，這不是巧合，球隊打得越來越好，Johnson位子也越做越穩。假設國民在2012年又換了一位新的總教練，尤其明年國民只要在今年季後稍為補強就能變得更具競爭力，那原本已經習慣 Davey 帶兵風格的這支球隊為了適應新教練就又得重新從春訓開始再一次調整適應。 http://goo.gl/pXmdS Davey Johnson 圖:(Christopher Pasatieri - GETTY IMAGES) Sheinin’s point in the Baseball Insider post had as much to do with 2013 and beyond as 2012. If the Nationals don’t try for Francona now, they’ll miss out on the chance to hire someone with his resume after the upcoming season. Sheinin的論點是國民為了2012和2013以及之後的球季必須有些動作。如果他們現在不去嘗試讓嚼嚼來國民，那他們會失去一個讓國民變好的總教練。 That’s a good point. I feel like it’s conceivable that Johnson manages in 2013, since he’s under contract until then. If the Nationals keep improving as they expect, continuity should be a priority. I’d rather go with Johnson now and then someone like Bo Porter or Randy Knorr later. It sounds to odd to say a first-time big league manager like Knorr or Porter is a better choice than Francona, but I’d prefer someone who knows the team from the inside out. That assumes, again, the Nationals don’t tank in 2012 and need a fresh start. 這是很好的觀點。我可以想像Johnson在2013還在當國民的總教練，因為他的合約還沒走完。如果國民要持續進步那一定要保持連續性。因為這樣我寧願讓Johnson在現在帶兵然後由Bo Porter(國民三壘教練)或是Randy Knorr(國民3A總教練)接手。這聽起來好像我認為一個新手教練會比嚼嚼來的好，但我覺得更聊解這支球隊的人是比較好的人選。國民在2012年並不需要一個新的總教練。 Also, Johnson’s age probably precludes him from being a long-term manager. But, in baseball, does such a thing as “long-term manager” exist? While Francona is much younger, Boston gave him health issues to go with a severe case of burnout. He’s 52, but after eight years in Boston he may as well be 60. 也許Johnson的年紀並不是何擔任國民"長期的總教練"。但是在棒球這運動裡有所謂的 "長期的總教練"存在嗎?嚼嚼比較年輕沒錯，但是紅襪給他的壓力大到甚至可能影響他的健康。他現在52歲，但當了8年紅襪總教練後，可能像60歲。 As Sheinin pointed out, teams will be lining up to interview Francona, and with good reason. I think Francona is the best manager in baseball. But the best manager for the Nationals is Davey Johnson. 正如Sheinin所指出的，各球團紛紛找嚼嚼面試。但國民不該參一腳。我認為嚼嚼是超棒的總教練。但是最棒的國民總教練是Davey Johnson。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.135.53.180
