Well he did test positive for amphetamines last year. A trend of poor judgement could be developing here.

Red Sox prospect Michael Kopech fractured his hand fighting a teammate. He is considered the #2 pitching prospect and #5 in the organization overall.

Is it his pitching hand or glove hand?

Did he learn anything from Crash?

And the 1st TJ of the year goes to... Carter Capps.

Shame, heard he was making waves with the Marlins. Thought he was a future closer when he was on the M's

Watching Angels/Dodgers...going to miss Simba's glove at SS for us. I have never enjoyed watching two players play defense as much as I have Simmons and Andruw Jones.

Nope, looked him up. Doesn't change what I said. People do dumb stuff. If you're saying that this incident will eventually lead to child abuse and cocaine trafficking, then I'll be worried once that happens.

Dude got pissed, got in a fight, and broke his hand. If he's gonna be dumb enough to jeapordize his career, he deserved it.

Don't remind me.

Andruw (pre-HR happy Andruw) was such a joy to watch; I would love to see his DRS and other defensive stats if he were playing today. The below is perhaps the best catch I've ever seen from a CF.

Man...watching that reminds me how much I miss a) TBS broadcasting the Braves and b) Skip Carey. Also, I think we've got a real jewel from Curacao right now!

Apparently Prince Fielder has severe sleep apnea and now has a CPAP machine.

I'm actually surprised more players don't have sleeping disorders like that what with all the traveling and such. At least in the case of baseball your body can acclimate to the time zone change what with being on the other side of the country for a week or so.

Re: 2016 Spring Training Thread

Michael Wacha is struggling against the Nats. Gave up 3 runs in the first and has 2 on with 2 out here in the second.

Come on Wacha get it together.
