原文恕刪 River Ave Blue 的 Mike Axisa 有寫一篇關於 Joe Girardi 和小熊隊簽約的可能性... 只是一篇很簡單的心得文，僅節錄部份給各位版友參考看看囉... http://ppt.cc/sO5t == Joe Girardi and the Cubs Two days ago, former Yankees’ player and manager Lou Piniella announced his retirement from baseball, effective at the end of the season...... ... Sure enough, there has since been plenty of speculation that Piniella's successor could be none other than current Yanks' manager Joe Girardi. And why not? It makes plenty of sense on the surface. Girardi (and, I believe, his wife, but don’t quote me on that) grew up not far from the Windy City in Peoria. He went to school at Northwestern in Chicago, was drafted by the Cubs and broke into the majors with them before returning for a second stint later in his career. His roots in Chicago obviously run very deep. It’s a match made in baseball heaven: a manager with success in a large market coming back to manage his hometown team. They make movies out of this stuff..... ...If nothing else, the Cubs' opening gives Girardi some serious leverage when the time comes for his new deal. His current contract has an average annual value of $2.5M, which is above the league average but not insane...... ...What the Yankees can’t offer Girardi is home. Sure, he’s settled down in the area, but I'm sure the Chicago area is still home to him. I lived on the West Coast for a few years after school and I ended up moved back to New York simply because I missed being home, and I’m a whole lot younger than Girardi. Can you imagine how much a career journeyman backup catcher misses being settled and at home?...... ...Not many people get to play or manage or coach or whatever close to their hometown in this game, so I would certainly understand if he wanted the job. Maybe he wants a new challenge...... == -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.227.132.59
