Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Pitchers and catchers and position players, oh my!



As Kirby Arnold put it this morning, in an early-bird blog post:

"Good morning from Peoria, Ariz., where the sun is rising into a cloudless sky and most of the action on the first day of the Mariners’ spring training camp will happen indoors.

It’s physical exam day for the pitchers and catches, so while the temperature outside heads toward a forecast high of 83, it figures to be a bit more frigid inside where the poking, prodding and coughing will be going on."

It looks like @ and @ are already in place, @shannondrayer arrives later today; Geoff Baker is already posting videos of himself. Spring has sprung.

Look at the picture of Michael Saunders

Now imagine him without the beard.

Now look at a picture of Tilda Swinton.

Creepy.

He seems to think so

"I think I’m in better shape and stronger than I ever have been," he said. "I can do the bike every day without resistance and I do pool work every day. Conditioning-wise, I’ve lost 10 pounds and I’m in great shape. I can do leg strengthening things but I can’t do push-off stuff. I can do hamstring curls, quad stuff, interior and exterior stuff, and I’m doing full upper-body workouts."

Erik Bedard has good eyes
“I saw him look as good as anybody when he was back in Baltimore,” Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. “He’s had a lot of trouble with injuries. But he looks great. I look into his eyes and I see good eyes. He looks physically fit.”

He looks good, literally.

That was pretty good stuff.

I’m not sad that he’s gone though.
