코칭스텝 마무리단계

Although the Los Angeles Dodgers still don't appear to be close to finalizing their coaching staff under new manager Don Mattingly, parts of it are beginning to come into focus.

Based on information compiled from various sources, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti wants to announce the entire staff at one time once it's finalized, it appears that Jeff Pentland is the front-runner to become the hitting coach, that pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and Ken Howell will return and that Larry Bowa, the team's third-base coach for the past three seasons under Joe Torre, won't be back.
토니 잭슨이 여러 경로를 통해서 다저스의 소스를 접했다고 하는군요. 물론 현재까지의 소스는 공식적인 것은 아닙니다. 일단 타격코치로는 제프 펜트랜드(Jeff Pentland) 현 다저스 순환타격코치가 선두주자라고 합니다. 그리고 투수코치는 허니컷, 불펜코치는 하웰이 돌아올 것이라고 합니다.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers' reason for giving the Milwaukee Brewers permission to interview Tim Wallach for their managerial vacancy -- Wallach met with Brewers general manager Doug Melvin in Phoenix last week -- but denying the Toronto Blue Jays permission to interview Wallach for theirs has become clear.
월랙은 여전히 인기가 좋은가 보군요. 토론토의 감독직 인터뷰를 거절했지만, 밀워키 감독직 인터뷰를 했었다는군요.

The contract Wallach signed earlier this month to become a member of the Dodgers' major league coaching staff after managing their Triple-A Albuquerque affiliate the past two seasons has a list of clubs with which he can talk to and a list of clubs with which he can't. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, Wallach was allowed to make those lists himself while negotiating the deal, which the source said was unusually beneficial to Wallach in terms of both length and financial compensation.
월랙이 다저스와 맺은 계약조항에는 인터뷰를 해도 되는 팀과 그렇지 못한 팀이 있다고 하네요.

Because there are so many major league managerial openings this winter -- there were eight when the offseason began and there still are six -- the Dodgers didn't want Wallach to interview for all of them, presumably because that would have held up their effort to fill their coaching staff. So Wallach was asked to prioritize those eight clubs based on his level of interest before any of those teams even requested permission to talk to him.
그런 이유중에 하나는 (물론 제 기억으로) 어느때보다도 감독을 필요로 하는 구단이 많다는 것입니다. 오프시즌이 시작할때만 하더라도 8자리였는데, 아직 6자리는 공석이라고 하네요. 그렇기에 이들 모두에게 월랙의 인터뷰 허용은 다저스가 바라는 상황이 아니어서 조항이 삽입했나 봅니다.

It isn't clear how many teams are on the "can-talk-to'' list and how many are on the "can't-talk-to'' list. But the source said the Brewers and Blue Jays are the only teams that requested permission to speak with Wallach.
물론 '인터뷰가능한 팀'이 얼마나 되는지, '불가한 팀'이 얼마나 되는지는 알려지지 않았지만, 최소한 밀워키와 토론토는 월랙에게 접근했던 팀이라고 하네요.

아마도 컵스는 내부자원이 있기때문에 월랙에게 접근하지 않았을거 같고, 비슷하게 벅스 역시 다른 접근방법을 취하고 있기에 월랙을 원하지 않을거 같습니다.

That means if Wallach isn't hired by the Brewers, who reportedly are interviewing about 10 candidates to replace Ken Macha, he will be part of the Dodgers' staff in 2010, probably as third-base coach. There remains a slight possibility Wallach will be Mattingly's bench coach, but the Dodgers still are hoping to find an experienced major league manager to fill that role because Mattingly has never managed before either in the minor or major leagues other than his current role as manager of the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League. That job bears virtually no resemblance to managing a major league team during the season because the AFL exists primarily as a developmental program involving top prospects from every organization and features complex rules for how players must be used.
월랙이 밀워키 감독으로 가지 않는다는 말은 내년 다저스의 3루코치가 된다는 뜻이기도 합니다. 물론 벤치코치가 될 가능성이 있긴하지만, 여러번 얘기했듯이 매팅리의 일천한 경험으로 인해 벤치코치는 경험많은 베테랑 코치를 원하기에 (월랙이 벤치코치가 되는)가능성은 적다고 할 수 있습니다.

While Mattingly had served as the Dodgers' major league hitting coach since the 2008 All-Star break, Pentland, 62, had been one of the club's secondary hitting instructors, along with Manny Mota, since July 1, 2008. The Dodgers hired Pentland shortly after he was fired at midseason as hitting coach for the Seattle Mariners, a job he had held since 2005.

Pentland also spent time as the hitting coach for the Chicago Cubs from 1997 to 2001 and the Kansas City Royals from 2002 to 2005.
현재 다저스의 타격코치 선두주자로 부상된 펜트랜드는 08년 미드시즌에 시애틀에 의해 추출당한 후 바로 다저스가 순환타격코치로 임명했다고 하네요. 위키피디아에 간략한 설명이 있는데, 08시즌에 시애틀의 공격력은 프렌차일즈 역사상 최악에 가까웠다고 적혀있네요.

1997년부터 2002년까지 컵스 타격코치를 해서 그 기간의 컵스 타격스텟을 찾아보니 삼진이 아주 많더군요. 리그 상위권을 다투는 스텟이었습니다. 하지만, 그 이후로도 컵스는 삼진이 많은 팀이긴 했습니다.

그렇지만, 2002년에 컵스와 결별 후 바로 2003년부터 로열스에 합류한 것으로 봐서 어느정도의 경쟁력은 있다고도 생각되네요. 위 원문에서 숫자가 몇 개 달라서 위키피디아를 기반으로 씁니다.

Longtime major league outfielder Chili Davis, meanwhile, a three-time All-Star during an 18-year career with five teams, is the leading candidate to fill the hitting instructor's role Pentland will vacate if he becomes the primary hitting coach. Davis has been working with Dodgers minor leaguers in the team's Arizona Instructional League program, which is held at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Glendale, Ariz., and concludes this weekend.

Davis, 50, has been out of baseball since his playing career ended after the 1999 season.
일단 몇일전에 나왔던 찰리 데이비스에 대해서는 만약 펜트랜드가 다저스의 타격코치가 된다면 교육리그 코치에서 순환타격코치로 승격할 가능성이 있다고 합니다.

플로리다 교육리그는 끝난걸로 아는데, 애리조나 교육리그는 아직 진행중이네요.

As of last weekend, Honeycutt hadn't yet accepted the Dodgers' offer, but he was expected to do so shortly. Howell said Saturday he still hadn't been given any official indication that the Dodgers were bringing him back, but the fact he had been in Arizona on official Dodgers business, observing players in both the Instructional League and the AFL, since the Dodgers' season ended is a strong indication they want him back.

There still is no indication what the Dodgers plan to do about a first-base coach. Mariano Duncan was told after the season, a month before his contract was to expire at the end of this month, that he was free to talk to other clubs, a pretty good indication the Dodgers don't plan to bring him back.
허니컷의 경우 아직 다저스의 오퍼에 확답을 내리고 있진 않지만, 조만간 응할 것이라고 하네요. 하웰도 아직 확답을 주고 있진 않지만, 애리조나에서 교육리그와 AFL을 관찰하는 다저스 업무를 보고 있다고 하네요.
