2022 Spring Training Thread

I'd be hard pressed to think of a season under Snitker that didn't exceed expectations.

I guess you could say the poor start was bad. Then again there were plenty of reasons for it and they won the division and the WS.

I noticed the Cubs are shifting Heyward to CF. If the Cubs would eat half his salary, he might be a workable option in CF. He probably wouldn't hurt the offense to badly now that the DH is in place. Platoon in LF, Heyward in CF and Acuna in RF.

There is shortage of good CF's in baseball right now. AA will have to get creative to fix the CF problem.

Stop it, it's been like ten years.

Well this is an interesting take considering Duvall is already a better CFer than Heyward at this point and can sometimes hit. Let go of the past man. Heyward sucks.
 
AJ Smith-Shawver looks like he’s going to be fun to follow at Augusta this year. Tampa hitters didn’t get any good swings against him, late on the fastball a ton, and he was throwing a good curveball and a changeup for strikes. I’m intrigued.

Morton looked ok

So strange how things click differently for people at different times. Still remember getting hyped on the AFL reports way back which talk about Morton like he was a future ace. Only took like 6-8 years....

Morton threw 63 pitches. How are they accelerating the SPs so quickly without increasing injury risk?

In sure these guys were all instructed to be on throwing programs as the two sides were getting closer on their demands.
