Spring Training Linkfest

Written by

The first day of spring training is complete, and it is so nice to see stories about baseball. It’s February and optimism time for Detroit Tiger fans.

  • Danny Knobler has a blog over at Mlive. His first report finds: a moratorium on talk of last year out of respect to Trammell, Pudge is more relaxed and 6-8 pounds heavier than last year, the 25 man roster will have 12 pitchers, and those pitchers will be taking grounders every day.
  • Jason Beck talked with Pudge. Rodriguez plans on playing 140 games this season.
  • While not a spring training article, Baseball Think Factory launched a new blog called Baseball Centrist. If you want to keep track of everything being written about the Tigers main competitors, this is the place to go.
  • Rob Parker wrote something for the Detroit News today. A couple of blogs have already weighed in on the article. I’m not going to respond or even link to the article. It is such a poor piece of writing that it doesn’t warrant a rebuttal. Columnists like Parker write things to stir the pot and get people riled up. This was such garbage it doesn’t deserve the attention.

    – Moratorium: Good idea
    – Pudge: Play as much as you want, as long you play better
    – Parker: He has always been an idiot. Thank you for not linking to his trash.

    I’m looking to get 2 grandstand 21-packs for the weekday plan. They come with 12 upper deck vouchers this year, so it’ll amount to more games than I have time for. Anyone interested in splitting? It wouldn’t necessarily have to be 50/50.

    I didn’t know Pudge was a poet:

    “I feel strong.
    I feel great.
    I feel strong behind the plate.”

    Good meter, too.
