A.J. Hinch 年龄: 31. 出身地: Midwest City, Okla. Position: Manager of Minor League Operations. 职衔：小联盟营运部长 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? 在决定来响尾蛇系统之前，Hinch必需下一个重大决定：他还要继续打职棒吗？ To decide, he tried to put his career in perspective. 为此，他试着回顾生涯。 "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." 「如果我问十年前的我，在31岁时，你7度站上大联盟，如今有机会往小联盟管理职发展， 你会接下这份工作吗？」Hinch说：「我会毫不犹豫的接下，回顾一切，我对我的棒球生涯 感到满足，而我并不对未来打出的成绩感到特别兴奋。」 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. 从史丹佛毕业後，Hinch在奥克兰、堪萨斯城、底特律和费城打过球，且不论他在那一队， 他总是吸取GM的的智慧，试图了解决策背後的意义。 "I always paid close attention," he said. "Even to a fault probably in my playing career." 他说：「我总是十分密切注意，虽说这可能对我的职业生涯产生不良影响。」 A former client of Jeff Moorad, the longtime agent and Diamondbacks general partner, Hinch also knew Byrnes through mutual acquaintances. 之前曾是现任响尾蛇队大老板Jeff Moorad的客户，Hinch跟Byrnes也有几面之缘。 He believes his youth will benefit him in dealing with the club's minor leaguers. 他相信以他的年轻，在与小联盟球员交涉时会带给球队帮助。 "I told them I'm more like them than they realize," he said. 「我告诉他们我比他们想像中还像他们。」他说。 He has aspirations to be a GM, but they don't define him. For once, he's not sure what's next. 他有当GM的热忱，但球团尚未定位他。他不确定下一步往那走的想法已经发生不只一次了 "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." 他说：「年轻时，我老想着要进大学。当我进了大学，我又想进大联盟。当我圆了大联盟 的梦，我还想去制服组。现在我真的不知道之後要干嘛了。」 --
