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.
經過幾天的討論，洛磯在星期二和 Walt Weiss 總教練簽了3年新約
The Rockies went 74-88 in Weiss' first season, a disappointment, but a
10-game improvement from 2012.
洛磯今年拿下失望的74勝88敗，但已經比去年進步了10勝
"He has the players' respect," all-star left fielder Carlos Gonzalez said
near the season's end.
CarGo表示：Walt Weiss 得到了球員的尊敬
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.
老闆在上星期暗示 Walt Weiss 將拿到一份複數年合約
Monfort said he was pleased with Weiss' first season, saying he deserved some
of the credit for the team's improvement.
他說Weiss帶領球隊進步值得拿下這份合約。
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月在前教頭 Jim Tracy 瀟灑走人後，Walt Weiss 從一位高中棒球教頭來到大聯盟
執教，簽了一份罕見的一年約，想看看自己的能耐到哪裡，還有他的家庭對他的新工作
調適得如何。
"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：我現在感到這裡充滿著希望。
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.
其實今年洛磯在上半季結束時僅以4.5場勝差落後分區龍頭道奇，
然而在下半季慘不忍睹，退出競爭群。
