First up on his to-do list is finding a general manager to replace Joe Garagiola Jr., who left the club to join Major League Baseball in August. Moorad spent some time during the game talking by phone with a prospective candidate. "We expect to finish the process of receiving permission from clubs that have individuals that we're interested in and begin our interviews as soon as possible," Moorad said. "I would imagine we would begin talking with candidates towards the end of this coming week." The loss, which ended the D-Backs' season-high seven-game winning streak, couldn't put a damper on the fact that the club finished strong by winning 10 of its final 12 games to nab second place in the National League West. 响尾蛇队希望能将最近的连胜气势持续到下个球季，但是在那之前，球队必须选定 新的总经理，并且决定要花多少钱补强这个比去年多赢了26场，以77胜85败做收，但落 後教士队五场胜差的球队阵容。根据球团方面的说法，过渡时期的总经理Bob Gebhard将 会是面谈对象里，唯一来自球团内部的候选人，Moorad并表明了球队将不会於此过程中 发表评论；然而他还是说了，分享他对种种议题的想法。 期望面谈之候选人数目？ 介於六人到九人之间，但是仍尚未定案。我们试图要保持弹性，如果某人一开始并不在 我们的程序中，但後来变成是可以洽谈的，那麽我们当然可以有这个弹性可以与之接触 ，如果我们认为适当的话。 有无任何特徵是候选人所需共同具备的？ 我想我们对数据等资料是无偏见的，我们确定要将教练团年轻化，也要有显赫的经验， 但我们并不将此雇用视为短期计画。理想情况下，我们希望下一个总经理能有像Joe Garagiola一样的任期，甚至更有潜力。 The D-Backs hope their recent hot streak will carry over to next season, but before then, the team must settle on a new GM and decide how much to tinker with the roster that finished five games behind the Padres with a 77-85 record, 26 games better than last year. According to the club, interim GM Bob Gebhard will be the only internal candidate interviewed, and Moorad said the team would not comment during the process. He did, however, share his thoughts on a variety of subjects. On the number of candidates he expects to interview: "More than five, less than 10, but still floating a bit. We intend to stay flexible as well, to the extent that if someone becomes available that we haven't had in the process at the early stage, we'll certainly have the flexibility to reach out and include them if we think that's appropriate." On whether there is any particular characteristic the candidates will have in common: "I think we're open-minded about the profile. The group that we've identified tends to be a younger group, but also a group that has significant experience. We don't look at this as a short-term hire. Ideally, we'd like our next general manager to have the kind of tenure Joe Garagiola had and potentially more." 等到十一月一号才雇用总经理对季後计画的冲击为何？ 在完美的世界中，我们会有适当的人选；显而易见地，其实不然。程序需要顺其自然地 结束，我们不害怕提早拟定必须的措施；换句话说，我们期望固定的总经理成为整个程 序进行下去的一部分。 On how waiting until Nov. 1 to hire a GM would impact their offseason plans: "In a perfect world, we'd have that person in place today. Obviously, they're not. The process needs to play itself out. We're not afraid to make early moves to the extent we feel necessary. On the other hand, we look forward to our permanent general manager being part of the process going forward." On how active the team will be in making deals or signing free agents: "For sure, there will be some moves that we'll make in the offseason. How significant remains to be seen. I think the club has shown an awful lot in the couple of weeks closing out the season and really, I think, given all of us a confidence that we do have the right nucleus on the field. I think the goal at this point is to make some adjustments -- certainly to tweak the roster a bit. But I'm not sure that wholesale changes are required. I think we'll certainly be open-minded about the free-agent market. I think the free-agent market is a thinner one than in years past, but again, we have some needs. We'd like to improve our production at the catcher position. We're committed to going into next season with as close to a bulletproof bullpen as we can get." 这只球队将会多积极地与自由球员签约？ 可以确定的是，我们在季後将会拟定一些对策，至於多显着则仍是可预见的。我认为球 团在球季尾声的几周已经展现了非常多的努力，也让我们确信我们在球场上掌握了正确 的核心。我想此议题的目标会做一些调整—必定会稍微改变球队阵容，但我不确定大规 模的改变是否有所需要。我确定我们会对自由球员市场敞开心胸，自由球员市场的球员 素质会比过去几年差一些，但我们却再次有所需求。我们想要改善在捕手这个位置的表 现，并承诺尽可能打造趋近於无懈可击的牛棚。 On the bullpen, which struggled before putting together a good run at the end of the season: "I'm pleased with the progress of the bullpen over the last couple of weeks. I think we can all see the value of the veterans like Buddy Groom and Tim Worrell. And we see the emergence of Brandon Medders as well as the re-emergence of Jose Valverde. All of that gives me a good feeling ending the season and looking forward to next year." 在球季尾声，於打击群得分前就力争上游的牛棚： 我很高兴见到过去几周牛棚的进步，我认为我们可以完全见到如Buddy Groom 及Tim Worrell等老将们所带来的价值。我们不但看到了Brandon Medders的窜起，也见证了 Jose Valverde的东山再起。以上这些皆让我对球季结束感到欣慰，并且开始期待下一 年的表现。 从去年8千万降到2005年6千万以下的薪资总额： 薪资总额中明星球员所占部分的调整开始发酵；关於这点，如果说有什麽差别的话，就 是我们将会维持某些薪资总额的弹性，以便帮助球队走下去，并使我们可以将最具竞争 力的成果放在球场上。 外野手Luis Gonzalez的合约中，还仍有一年一千一百五十万的薪资，再加上2007年价值 一千万美金的选择权： 关於这点，我已经和Luis以及他的经纪人Greg Genske谈过了，我们彼此承诺将不会公开 推测他的未来。我们将会在季末坐下来并确定他对未来的想法，并且也与他分享我们对 未来的想法。除此之外，Luis Gonzalez该做的事仍一如往常。他与我们还有一年的合约 ，并在其後还有2007年的选择权，而我尚未看到每日最新报导对於Luis Gonzalez的消息 是说的有道理的。关於这点，他是我们的左外野手与我们组织历史上了不起的一部分， 可能也是未来我们球队历史的一部分。 On the payroll, which went from $80 million last year to just under $60 million in 2005: "The lion's share of the payroll adjusting has occurred. At this point, if anything, we'll maintain some payroll flexibility in order to help the team going forward and to allow us to put the most competitive product we can on the field." On outfielder Luis Gonzalez, who has one year remaining on his contract at $11.5 million plus a club option for 2007 at $10 million: "At this point, Luis and I have talked. I've also talked with his representative, Greg Genske, and we've committed to each other that we're not going to speculate publicly about his future. We'll sit down with him at the end of the season and determine his thoughts about his future, and obviously, we'll share ours with him. But beyond that, it's business as usual with Luis Gonzalez. He has another year under contract with us and an option year after that, and I don't see any reason for daily updates on Luis Gonzalez. At this point, he's our left fielder and a terrific part of our organization's history and presumably a part of its future." --
