TheIncredulousHulk posted:The Ham Fighters are doing their ST in Arizona, so if you are a degenerate prospect follower, brace your dick for the Shohei Otani hype Whereabouts? I'd probably go. I'm trying to go to a bunch of Cactus League games in the valley this year; I want to check out those fancy new Cubs and D'Backs fields.

Haven't been to a Buffalo Wild Wings in years, but my brother asked me if i'd be okay with going there for dinner tonight. I said why the hell not. Got there, and Shea Hillenbrand was there selling raffle tickets for his youth baseball camp and animal charities. 10 bucks bought ten tickets, and the prize was your choice of one of a dozen throwback NFL jerseys. Bought some tickets, and we started talking about baseball. I sat there for something like 20 minutes, and inbetween hot wings and beer, discussed things like him being on the field for Randy Johnson's perfect game, hitting against Justin Verlander, Tony Clark being one of his favorite teammates, and being given batting advice from Nomar Garciaparra. It was a pretty rad night. I ended up winning the jersey raffle, and picked out a Jerry Rice throwback away jersey. Also got Hillenbrand's autograph on an 8 1/2 x 11 he had prepared.

I was debating asking him to sign the autograph with THIS IS A SINKING SHIP and/or PLAY FOR YOURSELF, but he was so pleasant and friendly, I decided against it.

Tigers have given ex-Mets reliever Bobby Parnell a minor league deal, and have invited him to Spring Training.

That is far better quality than Allen Robinson's.

Went to the D'Backs Fan Fest at Chase Field earlier today. Thoughts: * The 2001 World Series Trophy is still rad as hell. * There were quite a few people there today; they said it was their biggest crowd ever. Probably 30,000+ people there this year; maybe more. * I dig these new alternate home/away jerseys with the grey and the red and the teal and the white. * Tyler Clippard and Shelby Miller are cool dudes with strong handshakes and good signatures. * I met Tony LaRussa and got his autograph, but as he was signing it, I caught a glimpse of his 2006 World Series ring and I wanted to bite him on the face right afterwards. * Dave Stewart is pretty stingy with giving autographs. Team President and CEO Derrick Hall is not. * All the players whose autographs I got signed theirs in silver marker, except for relief pitcher Matt Reynolds, who signed his in black marker. On a dark background. Thanks, Matt. * They had a huge rummage sale in center field featuring used BP helmets, exploded bats taped back together, game-used balls and locker room name plates. * The field was in terrible condition, but the grounds crew said they were going to start re-sodding it in the next week or so. I'm kinda surprised they don't keep it up during the offseason (open the roof; water and mow it, etc;etc) * Good times had by all. Turns out that all the really top tier autograph session vouchers were sold out a week ago. (Vouchers were 5 bucks per table, per session, and all the money went to the D'Backs cancer charity). I had hoped to get the likes of Goldschmidt, Greinke, Luis Gonzalez, Mark Grace and Matt Williams, but according to the box office, those sessions were all snatched up less than 5 minutes after they went on sale. Regardless, i'll pester more players for autographs at spring training next month. Shelby Miller, Tyler Clippard, Randall Delgado, Matt Stites and Matt Reynolds was a halfway decent get for 10 bucks. * Greinke says "Uhhhhhh" and "Ummmmm" a lot while staring at his shoes.

FlamingLiberal posted:I've heard Salt River is a great place to get lots of players if you are going for autographs. Yeah; it's a really fantastic stadium. Very fan friendly. There are specific areas where they even tell people "If you're looking for an autograph during BP or before/after the game, stand over here". I want to try and catch some games at SRF and that gigantic new Cubs stadium in Mesa next month.

ElwoodCuse posted:What were their prices like for the game-used stuff? It seems like after years of ignoring this market entirely teams started selling literally anything but for ridiculous prices (and they wonder why that game-used pitching coach jersey has sat around unsold all season). Off the top of my head: $40 for the batting helmets Anywhere between $30 and $60 for the bats (bigger the name=bigger the price) Locker name plates were $15-$20 Authenticated lineup cards were $15 Game-used balls were $20-$30 (and had labels on them showing the history of the ball) Game-used hats were $20-$30 There was some other stuff, but that area was so busy, I never made it over to certain sections.
