Spring Training Things
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 4:13 pm
Everybody is in the best shape of their lives.
All past injuries will be prevented by the off season training.
All sore shoulders are good with a couple of days rest....until they're not.
This team has a chance to go all the way.
The new faces on the club bring a new energy.
Fans are more excited this year than they have ever been.....Not so fast Cubs and Mets fans.
100's of players are capable of the 30/30 club.....the reality is they're talking rbi/runs.
After watching just parts of two spring training games....the commercials are already old.
This new manager will make things exciting....Has ANY Manager made baseball exciting?
First of spring, every 19 and 20 year old will make the Big League roster....end of spring... AA and AAA
Joel Zumaya has a surgery scheduled.
JD Drew is producing as much this spring as he has in past springs....Only now, when hurting himself turning pages of his own scrapbook, he'll have to foot the bill.
A guy like Jim Thome can work his ass off to play first base once a week...
a younger David Ortiz can not get in first base shape enough to play during interleague games.
The closer conundrum. The experts say Jansen should be closing.
The Manager says Guerra.
Same thing happened a couple of years ago with Marmol/Gregg.
Experts- Marmol, Manager- Gregg
The Managers always wins. He gets the peripherals in the eighth, not the ninth.
Adam Dunn is a lock for at least 38 home runs.... Never mind, last years notes.
Roy Oswalt is better than 'close to home'. He's home.
Javy Vazquez looks to be a wasted pick for slow draft teams.
At the end of the World Series, Scott Boras was talking multi years for Johnny Damon.
Now, ANY years.
Mid-season form:
Chipper is sitting out a couple of games.
Just a thought to finish it up.
Phil Hughes should go to the bullpen and Freddie Garcia should start for the Yankees in their rotation.
I don't care who is more deserving. It should be done for the sake of trivia,
With a staff of Sabathia, Kuroda, Pineda, Nova, and Garcia; The Yankees rotation becomes the first in Major League history to have a five man rotation with every hurler ending their name with an 'A'.
