I'm about to face the most difficult thing I've had to experience in my whole life and I'm really needing the happiness and joy that baseball brings to me.

I don't know either.

Maybe his shorts are the wrong color blue?

Word out of every camp is that every player on the 70 man spring training rosters are in the best shapes of their lives

Haha!

Yeah, I hear that Cabrera's man-tits really dedicated themselves in the off-season. I expect big things from them this year.

Was funnier to me once it was pointed out, but mostly just his facial expression/positioning of the bat combined.

Not for Jays. Janssen(their closer) admitted he's not 100% but is hoping he can get to be 100% in time for regular season, and another article from network that airs Jays games talked about how there could/should be optimism about the health of roster after all injuries last year.

Re: 2013 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Yeah. I remember hearing that V-Mart looked incredible.

According to Detroit writers, he's in better shape than he ever was before he tore his ACL and he will have a breakout year with his new found body of steel and will bring unbelievable intangibles that will give the team the courage to go win the World Series

But really, He's in decent shape considering it's been over a year since the injury. He'll probably have a tough time finding a rhythm, but at least he doesn't have to worry about anything other than hitting. Being a full time DH helps him out

I remember after his DUI incident the writers still said he had a great offseason and was still coming into camp in the best shape of his life. And when he came in....it was hilarious. Yeah he's a big dude, but he had like 4 chins and i'm sure they went to great lengths just to get his jersey buttoned.

That's when I grew to hate all baseball media in the offseason.....it's all hype. Blind hype

Re: 2013 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Mark Buehrle has said that being apart from his family and dogs this coming season will "suck" and while he doesn't want to make a big story of it he will be working to bring awareness about responsible dog owners as there's a pitbull ban in Ontario. There's already some consensus within the legislature to repeal the ban and I think if he works behind the scenes quietly I think he'll be able to have his family living with him starting next season. If not, than many Jays fans fear that he'll quietly ask to be traded.

In other news Brett Lawrie is sky high about this Jays team and feels that playing in the WBC this year is an advantage to him and other Jays who are on teams in the tournament as competition that means something will put them in a better position to play well this coming season.

Ya, would be stupid if we had to get rid of Buehrle for a reason like that. He's not a free agent until after 2015, so it's not like we'll get ripped off if we have to deal him cause our only options would be deal him or let him walk.

Re: 2013 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Not really a big deal'but the Oakland Athletics and the city of mesa are close to an agreement to move into Hohokam Park in 2015. 1 year after the Cubs leave for their new facility. Opens the door for Houston or Stl. To leave the grapefruit league and train in the Desert.

Re: 2013 Spring Training Discussion Thread

Jhonny Peralta has dropped 21 pounds but refrained from saying he was in the best shape of his life. Impressive. Respect has been gained.

But until I see pictures I assume he's the same overweight shorstop. They always tell you guys lose a lot of weight and look the same.

All these fake weight loss stories will be the new PED scandal. all writers who lied about a player losing weight = no hall of fame votes lol
