[春訓] The discoveries of spring
前陣子 ESPN 有三位專欄作家 — Peter Gammons, Jayson Stark 和 Buster Olney
— 開始投入 blogger 的行列，不過前兩位的 blog 都藏在 insider 的屏障之後，
所以能免費閱讀的只有 Olney 寫的東西。
以 analyst 的標準衡量，Olney 的腦袋是不及格的（例：Productive Out Percentage）
但擁有多年 beat writer 經驗的他，敘述性的文章寫得的確不錯。
今天 Olney 寫到他上週末待在 Twins 春訓營，看到左投 Justin Jones 的驚奇表現。

關於 Jones 的投球出手動作和速球：
His delivery was nice and easy, smooth, all the parts fitting nicely
together, his body curling steadily in the first half of his delivery, and
then -- boom -- the ball just zipped out of his hand, overwhelming the
hitters in the cage.
關於 Jones 的變速球：
Then the lefty began flipping some kind of off-speed pitch, and the session
got really interesting. Whereas No. 73's fastball spun rapidly in a blur of
seams, his off-speed pitch crawled, the white face of the sweet spot becoming
more prominent; the ball dipped and darted away from the right-handed hitters.
真是羨慕能去 Florida 或 Arizona 看春訓的人哪！
