Walt Weiss, Rockies agree to three-year extension for manager
By Troy E. Renck
The Denver Post
After several amicable discussions over the last several days, the Rockies
agreed to a new three-year contract with manager Walt Weiss on Tuesday.
经过几天的讨论，洛矶在星期二和 Walt Weiss 总教练签了3年新约
The Rockies went 74-88 in Weiss' first season, a disappointment, but a
10-game improvement from 2012.
洛矶今年拿下失望的74胜88败，但已经比去年进步了10胜
"He has the players' respect," all-star left fielder Carlos Gonzalez said
near the season's end.
CarGo表示：Walt Weiss 得到了球员的尊敬
Owner Dick Monfort told The Denver Post last week that Weiss would get a
multi-year contract. Weiss had a one-year contract in his first season as a
big-league manager.
老板在上星期暗示 Walt Weiss 将拿到一份复数年合约
Monfort said he was pleased with Weiss' first season, saying he deserved some
of the credit for the team's improvement.
他说Weiss带领球队进步值得拿下这份合约。
Weiss was lured from his job as Regis Jesuit's head baseball coach last
November to take over for Jim Tracy, who walked away from the $1.4 million on
the final year of his contract. Weiss was helping the Rockies' search
committee when he became a candidate. He agreed to the unusual one-year deal,
saying he was comfortable proving himself and wanted to see how his family
adjusted to the jarring change in his schedule.
去年11月在前教头 Jim Tracy 潇洒走人后，Walt Weiss 从一位高中棒球教头来到大联盟
执教，签了一份罕见的一年约，想看看自己的能耐到哪里，还有他的家庭对他的新工作
调适得如何。
"There's an expectation around here now, I can sense. Guys are expected to
compete at a certain way and at a certain level. That's starting to become
the standard," Weiss said near season's end. "I have really enjoyed the way
the guys have fought down the stretch, especially as the season got away from
us and we weren't in the race. Usually the true colors show then."
Wiess：我现在感到这里充满著希望。
The Rockies were surprising at the all-star break, 4 1/2 games behind the
National League West-leading Dodges. They stumbled after the all-star break
and fell out of contention.
其实今年洛矶在上半季结束时仅以4.5场胜差落后分区龙头道奇，
然而在下半季惨不忍睹，退出竞争群。
