A.J. Hinch 年齡: 31. 出身地: Midwest City, Okla. Position: Manager of Minor League Operations. 職銜：小聯盟營運部長 Before Hinch could decide whether he wanted to head up the Diamondbacks farm system, he had another decision to make: Did he want to continue as a player? 在決定來響尾蛇系統之前，Hinch必需下一個重大決定：他還要繼續打職棒嗎？ To decide, he tried to put his career in perspective. 為此，他試著回顧生涯。 "If I asked myself 10 years ago, 'At 31, you will have played in the big leagues in parts of seven seasons and you're going to have an opportunity to be in charge of a farm system, would you take that?' " he said. "I would have taken that running. In that perspective, I'm very satisfied with what my career was and what I accomplished. And I'm equally, if not more, excited about what the future holds and where I'm headed." 「如果我問十年前的我，在31歲時，你7度站上大聯盟，如今有機會往小聯盟管理職發展，你會接下這份工作嗎？」Hinch說：「我會毫不猶豫的接下，回顧一切，我對我的棒球生涯感到滿足，而我並不對未來打出的成績感到特別興奮。」 A Stanford graduate, Hinch played for Oakland, Kansas City, Detroit and Philadelphia, and no matter where he played, he always picked his GM's brain, trying to understand why decisions were made. 從史丹佛畢業後，Hinch在奧克蘭、堪薩斯城、底特律和費城打過球，且不論他在那一隊，他總是吸取GM的的智慧，試圖瞭解決策背後的意義。 "I always paid close attention," he said. "Even to a fault probably in my playing career." 他說：「我總是十分密切注意，雖說這可能對我的職業生涯產生不良影響。」 A former client of Jeff Moorad, the longtime agent and Diamondbacks general partner, Hinch also knew Byrnes through mutual acquaintances. 之前曾是現任響尾蛇隊大老闆Jeff Moorad的客戶，Hinch跟Byrnes也有幾面之緣。 He believes his youth will benefit him in dealing with the club's minor leaguers. 他相信以他的年輕，在與小聯盟球員交涉時會帶給球隊幫助。 "I told them I'm more like them than they realize," he said. 「我告訴他們我比他們想像中還像他們。」他說。 He has aspirations to be a GM, but they don't define him. For once, he's not sure what's next. 他有當GM的熱忱，但球團尚未定位他。他不確定下一步往那走的想法已經發生不只一次了 "At a young age, I always looked toward going to college," he said. "When I got to college, I looked to the big leagues. When I was in the big leagues, I looked to the front office. Now I don't really know where this goes." 他說：「年輕時，我老想著要進大學。當我進了大學，我又想進大聯盟。當我圓了大聯盟的夢，我還想去制服組。現在我真的不知道之後要幹嘛了。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.137.231.78
