这个修季期间，Barry Zito接受了投球大师Tom House的指导，寻求再生的机会。
(想了解可以看这 www.tomhouse.com)
Tom House建议Zito将原本的投球姿势改成Tim Lincecum的姿势。在练了一个冬天后，
Zito的新姿势并没有收到新效果，Zito had a 7.91 ERA in five spring starts.
He allowed 32 hits, including five homers, in 19 1/3 innings.
因此尽管距离2012球季开幕不到一周，但巨人队教练Dave Righetti和Bruce Bochy
决定要Zito放弃Tim Lincecum的姿势，重新再调整回原本的姿势。
Zito, who is still owed $46 million, attempted to mimic Tim Lincecum’s
delivery during an offseason working with noted pitching guru Tom House.
But observers both inside and outside the Giants organization tell me that
Zito doesn’t have the arm speed or athleticism to pull off that delivery.
Zito’s arm drags behind his body as he plants his front foot, leading to
hittable pitches at the belt.
