Spring Training 2015

. . .

When B.J. Upton reports to spring training, the Braves center fielder he will wear a uniform with a bit of a different look.

For what’s believed to be the first time in his professional career, Upton will have “Upton Jr.” on the back of his jersey, rather than just “Upton” that he’s worn until now. He also has Upton Jr. on the nameplate above his locker for the first time.

That will make all the difference....LOL

It must be one of the new approaches John Hart discussed with BJ over golf earlier in the offseason.

What the **** do you have to do to lose an arbitration case?

Was his dad a good contact hitter? If so, I'm in favor.

[The Chosen One]

Hart convinced him to change it so legally we don't have to pay BJ Upton 15 million a year anymore. We can just pay BJ Upton Jr. 500k.

can't believe this isn't worthy of its own thread.

Does it even really matter about Minor? $500,000 doesn't seem that much of a problem with some of the hacks we signed.

On another note, pumped that ST is finally, finally here.

[Tapate50]

Yes, haha, when in Rome dude ... some decent bars at Downtown Disney, even better if you are thinking about staying somewhere in the immediate area.

Any golf around that's worth a look?

Well his next arby offer gets based of this year so at the end of his arby period it could mean quite a bit more ... I doubt he is here that long though

My family is spending March 9-13 at Disney world. Our plans are to go to spring training that Thursday and we are excited. The last time I went to ST was 1990 in West Palm Beach.

Golf is everywhere in Orlando.

MetroWest is decent and cheap ... and public.

Shingle Creek is another, albeit significantly more expensive. There's also Shades of Green if you have any military affiliation. Disney owns like 5 courses in the immediate area, too

Like kendiz said, though, there is golf everywhere.

Bay Hill is hosting the Arnold Palmer Invitational the same weekend I'll be there. That would probably be worth a trip as well.

Source: #Dodgers sign Brandon Beachy to 1-yr, major-league deal with club option for 16. Likely to start on DL as he recovers from 2nd TJ.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Greinke, Anderson are potential FAs, so Beachy could be 2016 option if healthy. #Dodgers scout Pat Corrales saw him throw multiple times.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Beachy chose #Dodgers in part because his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, is based on LA. Could be factor late in season and in 2016.

Do the Saturday BBQ, Beer, ticket combo if you can. Includes parking and 4 Rivers Smokehouse is catering. They definitely do not disappoint.

My friend's Dad got a few of us on at Bay Hill several years ago. I'm really ****ing horrible at golf, but it was one of the most difficult places I've ever played. This coming from somebody who plays Ocean Course on Kiawah semi-regularly.
