Last year 99 losses and the AL’s worst record motivated the Twins to fire
general manager Bill Smith a month after the season ended.
去年99败在美联垫底的战绩激使双城于季赛结束一个月后火掉了GM Bill Smith。
This year 96 losses and the AL’s worst record led to immediate and sweeping
changes to the coaching staff, as the Twins announced that everyone on Ron
Gardenhire’s staff except for pitching coach Rick Anderson has been let go
or reassigned to a lesser role within the organization.
而今年96败同样在美联垫底的惨况导致他们快速全面整顿教练团队。双城宣布除了投手教
练Rick Anderson之外，其余每个Ron Gardenhire带领的教练团成员已被火掉或是安插到
团队中较次要的角色。
During the first 11 seasons with Gardenhire as manager the Twins fired a
grand total of one coach, Al Newman. Yesterday alone they fired first base
coach Jerry White, third base coach Steve Liddle, and bullpen coach Rick
Stelmaszek while reassigning hitting coach Joe Vavra and bench coach Scott
Ullger to roles described as infield and outfield instructors. Head trainer
Rick McWane was also let go.
在Gardenhire执掌总教头的11个球季以来双城仅火掉过一位教练Al Newman。但单独昨日
双城开除了一垒指导教练Jerry White, 三垒指导教练Steve Liddle和牛棚教练Rick
Stelmaszek，而打击教练Joe Vavra和板凳教练Scott Ullger则分别被调任为内野和外野
指导员(instructors)。首席防护员Rick McWane也在火掉名单之中。
I’d love to offer some meaningful analysis, but beyond stating the obvious
about the need for change after 195 losses in two years it’s difficult to
say if specific firings were justified or what the shakeup’s impact will be.
Good or bad, evaluating coaches is a lot of guesswork. What’s easier to see
is that with a new coaching staff and Gardenhire’s contract up after 2013
the writing is seemingly on the wall for what another 90 losses would lead to
this time next year.
我想要提出些有意义的分析，但除了确定两年内输了195场后需做出改变外，很难去说特
别开除谁是合理的或人事大变动后的影响结果。需要大量的猜测结果来评估教练是好是坏
。既然新教练团和Gardenhire的合约会在2013到期，明年此时球队再度90败这件事情已经
板上钉钉了(the writing on the wall)。
心得：最后一段想好久看不太懂，错误希望有人可以指正@@
