I was rereading Dollar Sign On The Muscle the other day and when I got to the part about how scouts don't like little righty pitchers, I thought of Timmy. And he kind of proves the point I guess. "Little elfin skateboarder looking dude" isn't exactly the blueprint for a RHP. And in hindsight we might've guessed that a pitcher who flings himself off the mound with max effort on every pitch wouldn't adapt well when he loses velocity and a bit of athleticism.

There was reason to play Huff at 1B in 2011, Belt in LF was much less of a disaster than Huff in RF. 2012 had this stupid Belt/Pill platoon going on for a while because of ~*~*matchups*~*~

What's funny is that he has a personal logo in the first place and it's a picture of himself.

I feel like that hand gesture has been used by so many players that as a silhouette it is hardly unique. For example, this.

I guess he was going for the Air Jordan logo, but whereas the spread eagle dunk pose is frequently associated with Michael Jordan, pointing up to the sky in a home run trot is not particularly associated with any one player. Its like if the Air Jordan logo was a guy taking a free throw.

To be fair the little silhouette man looks like a fat slob and as we all know the only fat slob to ever play baseball is David Ortiz

So apparently Dan Uggla had oculomotor dysfunction due to a concussion he received, which basically means he couldnt' pick up the movement of the ball whenever he moved his head. Does this count as the first "Best Shape of My Life" story this year?

He has one every year. He got LASIK I think last year or the year before, he changed his swing in another year... Dude's just cooked, and probably also has a variety of physical ailments. Dingleberry Jones posted:White Sox signed Bonifacio I greatly look forward to him being among the league leaders in OBP and AVG for the first like 6 weeks of the season.

I think one year he leaned down because he had gotten too muscular, or some such thing. Bonifacio is one of those players that pass through the Braves where, in four years, you say, "Oh, right. He did play for the Braves, didn't he?" Like Daryl Ward or Josh Anderson.

So far this is the most important "Best Shape of His Life" story: Shannon Drayer @shannondrayer Zduriencik on @710ESPNSeattle says that Montero has lost 30-35 lbs. They will work with him in spring training at 1b

Here's a story about Vlad Guerrero's kid being a giant dude who can hit baseballs far. He doesn't wear batting gloves either, unconfirmed whether he pees on his hands or not. http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/673463

I can't wait for the A's to claim Jesus Montero off waivers and he becomes a good player in some wacky platoon with another failed prospect..oh let's say Lars Anderson or Matt LaPorta, why not.
