文中是提到球迷跟Tracy談論他的守備
Diamondbacks third baseman Chad Tracy answered fans' questions during an
online chat Friday. He talked about his new contract, how he prepares for
each game and his fielding success at third base. Chad Tracy: Thanks for
joining us today. I look forward to answering your questions.
rereit: Which position do you prefer to play, third base or right field?
Tracy: I definitely like to play third base over right field. Third base is
where I put in all my work in the Minor Leagues. I've played infield pretty
much my whole life, so it comes a little bit more natural than the outfield.
Timothy_Reddington: Two years ago at third base you had some fielding problems
but this year you have only one error, a remarkable turnaround. What did you
do differently this offseason that can explain the better numbers?
Tracy: I played outfield most of Spring Training so I lost my arm slot in the
infield. I also had a problem with looking at the runner as he was coming
down the line, causing my ball to tail up the line. This year I am just
catching the ball and picking up the first baseman without looking at the
runner. I think that has a lot to do with the better numbers.
Foye_Minton: Do you keep in contact with any of your college teammates?
Tracy: What's up Foye? Are you still living in Baltimore? Yes, I do talk to a
lot of you guys.
greenandcjaxfan: Who was your favorite player growing up?
Tracy: I was a big Braves fan growing up. I really liked watching Terry
Pendleton and Mark Lemke. Those two guys played the game hard every night.
krodversion2: How do you prepare yourself before each game?
Tracy: I ride the bike for 20 minutes to get loose right when I get to the
clubhouse. Then I go hit with our hitting coach, if I don't lift. We stretch
as a team and then I take 15 minutes of ground balls. I hit in the second
group and then shag for a group. After the third group I go inside and eat
and then we have our team meeting on the pitcher starting that night. It
varies a little bit, but that's basically my routine.
Chuck_Shaw: Is there a third baseman you use as a mentor or example?
Tracy: I had a chance to watch Matt Williams a lot and work with him. He was
one of the best third baseman and try to model myself as much as I can after
him.
Base_Ball_3: Can you describe the impact of Eric Byrnes to this team?
Tracy: Eric has brought a lot of energy to the team. He is also a great player
that plays the game hard every night.
Ellen_Thomas: Where were you born and raised?
Tracy: I was born in Charlotte, N.C. I grew up in a little community called
Oakdale. I started playing baseball when I was four.
iceyo: How much do you do in the offseason to get ready for the upcoming year?
Tracy: I take the first month off to let my body rest. I gradually work back
into the routine. I start with three days a week of weights and conditioning
and gradually move to five days a week, with weights, conditioning, hitting,
and ground balls.
Catherine_Barrett: Have you ever tried switch-hitting?
Tracy: I messed around a little bit in Little League but did not stick with it
. I wish sometimes, when I facing a tough leftie, that I had.
Peter_Berger: Do you think Luis Gonzalez will be back in 2007?
Tracy: I hope Gonzo is back in 2007. He is an important part of our team and
a leader in the clubhouse.
miller26fan: What advice would you give for Little Leaguers who want to become
a Major League third baseman?
Tracy: Concentrate on your feet more than any other thing. You catch the ball
by getting your feet in a good position to get the right hop. Everything else
will take care of itself.
miller26fan: Hey Chad, what is your favorite ballpark to play in while on the
road?
Tracy: I like Colorado because it has a great clubhouse, a great city and
reminds me a lot of Charlotte. And the ball carries very well there.
Tracy: I have to run and get ready for the game. Thanks for allowing me to
chat with you today. I hope to see you all soon at the ballpark.
