It's always good to see the boys back doing baseball stuff. Spring is almost here! Is that a Javy Lopez sighting?

Looks like he could still play

Bobby Cox looks like he could still manage.

wait, I thought he was managing the gNats.. oh never mind, that is another manager who can't win in the playoffs.

I was expecting by now the beat writers would have an update on Winkler's status. Since nothing has been said, should we assume he's at camp and has no restrictions? I did see somewhere (Grant Mcauley's blog maybe) that Paco was on schedule and throwing with no restrictions.

So conservatively Kemp will hit 45 Homers this year?

Don't be fooled. He wasn't wearing any socks.

I think we can write that in in pen!

Even tattoo it... FF should get a shadow of kemp tattooed on his back for all the protecting kemp gives him

For Ron's cig?

shorts, hoodie smoking a cig in the dugout

Freedie's awkward look on his face rocking a Canada hat with his little bag etc

and the weird timing of the pic for the handshake that makes it look like they are holding hands etc

it's just funny to me with a lot going on

Thank god for this thread. This is so much more fun to chat about than politics.

Bowden just got through blowing sunshine up his *ss on XM as well - expects him to have a really big year.

I kinda do, too, provided he's healthy.

He was really good for us last year. His dedication in the offsets on to come to camp slimmed down and toned speak's to where his mindset is right now. A big year could completely shatter all ore season win projections. Potentially a top 5 1-4 in all of baseball.

Won't be anything compared to Bartolo.

The defense is still going to be really bad and will limit his overall effectiveness. But I'm definitely hoping for a bit of a return to offensive form.

I'm not sold on him being a tremendous liability. Maybe just a regularly sub par defender. Getting in shape can change a lot of things with movement and flexibility.
