Hi everyone. I just got back from dinner. We went to a Korean barbeque place in Scottsdale; it was really good. 大家好, 我刚吃完晚餐回来, 今晚我们在 Scottsdale 吃韩国烤肉, 很棒的晚餐． Last week, I played in the Rising Stars Showcase. It was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of good players there. I was on the winning team. I don't know what I'm going to do with the $500 we won. Maybe I'll just eat at some nice restaurants. Maybe I'll go get some really good sushi. 我上星期参加明日之星的比赛，很有意思，我遇到很多很棒的球员，我们这队赢得比赛 ，我不知道我要怎麽花这五百元的奖金，也许我就去一些很好的餐厅吃吃喝喝，也可能 去吃一些很棒的寿司． Like I've said earlier, I really wanted to work on my hitting. I'm hitting the ball hard, but I can't get any hits. I feel I'm hitting the ball well. I'm trying to find a hole, but that's baseball. Sometimes you hit it hard but right at people. I'm trying not to think about it, just hitting the ball hard. 就像我之前说过的，我真的很想提升我的打击，我击中球心可是却打不出安打， 我觉得我打的还不错，尝试找个洞穿过去，但是这就是棒球，有时候你打中球心 ，但是就正在防守球员面前，我试着不想这麽多，就努力用力强力击中球吧！ One thing I really wanted to work on was hitting breaking balls, and that's been going well. My timing is better trying to hit the breaking ball. I've seen some good sliders and two-seamers here. 我真的想努力的是对於变化球的打击，这部份发展的很好，我打变化球的时间点抓 的比较好一些了，这儿有很多很好的滑球和二缝线速球可以打 (注：下次找小王 练功喔！不过，别当小王徒弟，只有滚滚滚啊！) I can't really say which pitchers have been the toughest because they switch so much. Every guy is pitching one inning, so it's hard to know who the pitchers are. We have to learn fast how a pitcher is pitching. Each time, there's a new guy we have to figure it out fast. 我无法真的说那个投手最难打，因为投手换的很快，每个投手只投过一局， 所以，很难清楚知道谁是谁，当每次有新投手上场，我们要很快适应投手， 很快找出方法打他的球． I've liked watching the other shortstops here in Arizona. Brendan Ryan is very good. I played against him in the Florida State League last year. He can hit, too. Troy Tulowitzki, he's a big guy. He's got a very good arm. He's got good power at the plate. On my team, Matt Tolbert's got pretty good hands and he's a really good hitter, too. I try to learn things from him. I hope he can learn something from me, too. 我在这儿喜欢观察其他的游击手，Brendan Ryan 是很棒的一个，去年，我在 FSL 的 比赛有遇过他，他的打击也不错，Troy Tulowitzki 是个大家伙，他有强肩，在打击 时有强的力量，在现在的球队中，Matt Tolbert 有非常好的手臂，他也是很棒的打击 者，我试着从他身上学习，希望他也从我身上学习到什麽． Playing for Mesa, I've played with Eric Patterson as my double-play combination a lot. He's very good, but it hasn't always been easy. I've played with Tony Abreu in the Dodgers system the last four years, so with Eric, he's a new guy. It's hard to get to know each other on the field sometimes. So the timing was a little weird, but we're getting better. 在 Mesa 的比赛中，我常和 Eric Patterson 搭档成为双杀大神，他很棒， 但是，新搭档总不是件容易的事，过去四年，我和 Tony Abreu 在躲人系统 中合作，Eric 是刚合作，所以，有时候在场上很难能了解对方，在补位的配 合是有点怪，但是我们越来越有默契． I have to admit, I am starting to get tired. I've never played this many games in one year. With the World Baseball Classic, training for that, Spring Training, playing for Jacksonville, the playoffs and then coming here, I must be way over 160 games. I'm not going to get much rest once the Fall League is over. The Asian Games are coming up in December and I'm going to play for Taiwan then. 我必需承认，我开始觉得累了，我从来没在一年比那麽多比赛，从 WBC 的训练， 比赛，参加 Jacksonville 的春训，季後赛，到现在的 AFL，我参加了超过一百 六十场的比赛，在秋联比赛之後，我没有太多的休息时间，接着在十二月要代表 台湾参加亚运．(注：可以别去吗？ XD) Let me answer some of your emails now. 又到了回信的时间罗！ To you, a player who is only one step away from the Majors, what is the No. 1 problem or obstacle in terms of getting yourself into the Majors? Is it still a technical thing or more a mental thing? --Sue, Taiwan 对你一个只差一步就能站上大联盟的球员来说，在你前往大联盟的路上， 什麽是最麻烦或是阻碍呢？是技术层面还是心理面呢？ -- Suc, 台湾 The main thing is hitting, but you need to get better at everything to play in the big leagues. You need to run, you need good hitting and you need the defense, too. I need to work on everything. I'm not a power hitter, but I want to hit for a good average. Maybe I'll hit in the second-hole, so I need to be good at bunting and moving runners over. That's my job, so I want to be good at it. 最主要的是打击，但是，要进入大联盟你在每个方面都要更好，你要跑得快， 你要打的好，你要防守好，我要在每个方面都努力，我不是强力打者，但我 想要能打出平均水准，将来，我也许会定位在第二棒，所以，我要有好的短 打能力，推进跑者的能力，这是我的工作，所以，我想在这部份有很好的表 现． Do you have any funny or embarrassing things in America? Since English is not our native language, we might have many funny things in our American life. --Dean 在美国生活有发生什麽好笑或是丢脸的事吗？因为英文不是我们的母语， 我们在美国的生活常常会因此发生笑话．-- Dean (注：嘻嘻，又是我！) I do have one funny story. About two years ago, I was playing in Columbus. My hitting coach asked me if every Chinese guy knew kung fu. He heard every Chinese guy knew kung fu. I said, "Yeah." At first, he believed me. My hitting coach was black, so I said to him, "Yes, every Chinese guy knows kung fu, just like every black man knows how to rap." I tried to make a joke. Everybody laughed. 我有个好笑的故事，两年前，我在 Columbus 打球，我的打击教练问我是不是 每个华人都会功夫，他听说每个华人都会功夫，我一开始回答他：是的， 他也相信我，我的打击教练是个黑人，所以，我接着说：是的，每个华人都会 功夫，就像每个黑人都会 rap 一样，我试着说个笑话，每个人都大笑． Source: http://0rz.tw/d224L --
