For some veterans, Spring Training is a way to work on their game and ease into the routine of playing baseball again. Conor Jackson, though, knew it would be a different story for him this spring.

Justin Upton hit a two-run homer, and the Diamondbacks pulled away to a 10-4 win.

There is a difference in Billy Buckner. You can tell it in the way the D-backs right-hander carries himself off the field and in how he pitches when he's on it.
