http://0rz.tw/ZSH7j 不貼全文了，貼春仔對幾名年輕投手的看法 Of particular interest to him, of course, are young relievers Chris Perez and Jason Motte, both closer candidates of the near, or very near, future, whom Springer mentored last season after they had joined the club. Springer thinks either can perform the ninth-inning role, that is if they make certain adjustments that Springer and others had suggested. "They both knew what they had to work on when they went home for the offseason," Springer said. "I don't know how much they worked on it or not." Specifically, Springer said Motte needed more work on his slider. "Motte's got a little more late zip (than Perez) on his fastball. He short-arms the ball and he hides the ball better, where hitters can't pick it up, so he can probably get away with a little less breaking ball," Springer said. "Perez throws hard, too, but he's got a better breaking ball. But he needs to learn how to throw it out from the same slot as the fastball. He's got two different arm slots and hitters can pick that up." .......... "I'm pulling for the young guys. If (Josh) Kinney is healthy, he's a guy who can pick up a big load. And so can Mac (Kyle McClellan), if he can mentally last the whole season. That's the longest season he's ever pitched. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.163.125
