Spring Training Roundup
We all love giving Roch Kubatko and Peter Schmuck the business but when it comes to Spring Training they're pretty much the only ones providing regular updates (although if Camden Chat wants to raise the funds for me to take a month in Florida I'd be happy to provide constant coverage).
Roch has the following interesting tidbits from MASNsports.com:
- Both Felix Pie and Adam Jones are in camp (Here's the first spring sighting of AJ) and Felix Pie is 100% healthy and "ready to do [his] thing."
- Will Ohman is super excited to be in camp and it feels like a homecoming for him. He knows much of the coaching staff as well as Pie from his time with the Cubs.
- Brian Roberts isn't dealing with kidney stones but rather back spasms. He's still working out in AZ.
- Brad Bergesen is the only pitcher on any injury restriction.
Much of what Schmuck has written at The Sun is similar to Roch's information but he did provide the news that there's still no word on who will replace Buck Martinez at MASN but Gary Thorne has signed a 4 year contract that will end the same year as Jim Palmer's current deal.
Follow the jump to see a video interview of Kevin Millwood with footage of the workout and the first batch of spring training photos from today's workout.
Mark Hendrickson had the always controversial arms implant surgery in an effort to remain effective
He's very regal, yes?
KOJI! KOJI! KOJI! limbers up
Guts hopes this is the beginning of a very different year.

I'm pretty sure
that Kevin Millwood isn’t actually going to pitch. He’s just going to sit on the bench and tell stories to Bergesen and Tillman while Andy MacPhail looks on proudly.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.

This just in...
…from the very top photo by the copy:
Dave Trembley is carrying more than 17% body fat.

best shape of his life!
"It feels like home,’’ Pie said. "All my friends are here."

Ha
Wieters looks like he’s ignoring Dave. Wieters is his own manager.

I want Kevin Millwood....

Man in Black: Yes.

Just finishing
up The Orchard Keeper which will leave me only Blood Meridian short of reading the entire library.
Did anyone see The Road in theater? It didn’t last long here.

The picture of Wieters/Dave is hilarious.
Matt looks like an absolute giant in his own little world.
Not much of a shock that the first picture we find of AJ, he’s blowing a bubble.
Excellent captions, very entertaining. :)
"He's a gazelle." -Adam Jones on Nolan Reimold.
It looks like Matt Wieters isn't even listening to Dave Trembley.
Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about. - Lynn Johnston (I don't know who that is...but it's a good quote.)
Oh wow. That was just posted above.
I’m smart. I wish we could delete comments.

I guess it's not worth it.
You know they have that feature on facebook. I was thinking if you say something you shouldn’t and you want to take it back, you should be able to do that on the internet.

The photo of AJ
Has made me happy for the first time in about two weeks.
See, it doesn’t take much at this time of year…
It's a shame that Tillman's arm was severed at the elbow

I love the pitchers taking grounder practice
with the air pitching. Hey, I can do that! Things look generally pretty relaxed, which I guess is at it should be the first day.
i actually thought...
it was a pretty uncanny imitation of that walter johnson sculpture at nats park.
