you can put it on the board (as a spring training win on a horrific team) yes!

Eh, that's just a feel good BS story. Stretching is important, it's hardly some cure for structural issues in the body. It's worrisome that he seems to have issues in his core two springs running. He's a big, bulky dude, part of his rating as a prospect is that he's going to be a power hitting SS or 3B. If he can't play a good 3B long term because of his back that's a bummer. We'll see I'm not that concerned as I said, just a little bit more than I was the other day.

Pretty clear this was more than just a random muscle spasms in his back. I've raised my concern level from like 2 to 4 here I guess. Still fairly low but he's been out what, like 10 days now? He def tweaked something, it wasn't just a ramp up response.

he say anything interesting?

Those flash storms in spring of AZ are no joke. Camelback has a paved lot, some other stadiums are mostly dirt and I def have a not so fond memory of getting into a rental car in a sloppy ass parking lot on a spring training trip.

I can almost guarantee that not only does Gallo make the team he inexplicably steals ABs from Vaughn, who we should be giving every single PA to try and figure it the hell out.

A split squad lineup but it's the full roster. Yikes.

Fletcher is fine for what he is. 4th OF type. He'd be a great 26th man.

It really is amazing how a team this fan murdering still has active threads like this appreciate the info even if myself is a 2/10 excitement level

They probably want to move one of them to RF which would be silly at this point in their careers. I think it's BS. Mariners are a notoriously staid franchise and one that will always choose the path of least criticism.

I do too. I would have a pretty radical rest plan for him as it's the only thing that really matters, certainly more important than having him hit a game winning HR or something. I'd start him three days a week in the OF and twice at DH and let him rest the other two. It will never happen but if this org really was serious about maximizing the chance of a quick(ish) rebuild it would be implemented.

He looks healthy and that's all that matters. If he's healthy, production will be there. Even when he came back last year he never looked right imo.

Some outfields get hits. Ours takes hit. Hey now!

Problem is league average as a bottom 1/3 1B / DH as a RHB is completely worthless.

Signs of life as calendar turns to March!

They still doing the ticket food and drink special there in Peoria? Last time I was down there they had a 30 dollar buy in and you got like 3-4 whiskey drinks and a couple solid food options out of it

@nrockway @Bob Sacamano you know, sadly enough I'm with ya. I'm so sick of Vaughn.

Joey Gallo makes Adam Dunn look like Jim Thome.

Joey Gallo? What we building another 120 loss club?

Eh, don't want to yuck ur yum but if it's just spasms it doesn't really point to anything chronic or structurally necessarily.

It's this sort of bad break that can really be the difference between just being historically bad and setting our own record breaking historically bad total last year.

Who cares? Why would I root against any Sox player? Getz is a clown, Colas is just a dime a dozen AAAA type but our org did him zero favors and I guarantee word around the league is that this franchise is poverty, doesn't develop any young talent and is a miserable place to be.

I think he hates this org and is depressed. I don't blame him.
