TheChrisSamsa Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I feel like I should post this late at night so I can't claim sobriety, but is the MLB "Batter Man" logo a silhouette of the back of a righty, or a silhouette of the front of a lefty.

Balta1701 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 The Rangers talked about moving Neftali Feliz to the rotation for about 3 weeks. He's on his way back to the Closer's spot where he says his arm feels more comfortable. Which is, I'm going to guess, the path Chris Sale is following.

Balta1701 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Link Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jon Garland left Wednesday's Cactus League game with two outs in the top of the second inning because of a left-oblique injury. There was no immediate diagnosis, but Garland said he would meet with a team doctor either later in the day or early Thursday morning. Garland said no actual tests have been scheduled, but that, "I'm sure they are going to want to do that." Garland, whom the Dodgers signed in November to a one-year, $5 million contract with an $8 million club option for 2012 to be their fifth starter, was making just his second start of the spring. After throwing the first pitch to Seattle Mariners shortstop Josh Wilson, his 30th pitch of the game, Garland knelt down on the front of the mound, stood back up and immediately made a gesture toward the dugout to summon trainer Stan Conte.

Balta1701 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Orioles 1b Derek Lee underwent an MRI today after a previous wrist injury flared up. They're already talking like they don't expect him to be ready to start the season. It probably won't. Lee underwent an MRI late Wednesday afternoon that confirmed the cause of the wrist soreness that flared up just as he was returning to normal baseball activities after months of rehabbing his surgically repaired right thumb. Orioles orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens examined him Tuesday and attributed the soreness to rehab-related tendinitis, but ordered the MRI just to be sure. Still, even though there is no structural damage to Lee's wrist, the timetable for his Grapefruit League debut will remain uncertain while he waits for the inflammation to subside, which is why Showalter admitted that he already had begun preparing for the possibility of an Opening Night without him. Scott is doing the same. "You have to be ready for whatever,'' said Scott. "I don't know yet what's going to happen. What will we have in three weeks? That's still quite a bit of time. As for me, I'll prepare the best I can for whatever I have to do." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their offense ain't lookin' so hot. I doubt he plays 100 games this year, that knee is gonna bother him the whole season. I think I underestimated how old the Phillies are. Their only regulars under the age of 30 are Hamels & the RF position w/ Brown or Francisco (who is 29). Even their whole bullpen is basically 30 & over.

Other than Hamels, their rotation is just old too, but guys that have yet to decline and have always been very durable inning-eaters. ***knocks on wood*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
