Spring Training 2024

[tzill]

Thought I'd get it started:

 

[LHG]

I find spring training invites interesting because teams often bring up another 20 to 30 minor leaguers to play in big league spring games during the course of spring training. I guess the difference between the two is that these guys get to practice with the big league club and have access to their facilities until they get reassigned.

[Pavlovic] The Giants are no longer going with the two-way path for Reggie Crawford. He’s in camp as a pitcher and that’ll be the focus going forward. Giants are hopeful he can move quickly.

Now I can potentially be excited by him. The whole 2-way thing is way too gimmicky.

Dude can't hit. Still, it's good mojo to let him try.

In the Arizona Fall League, he had 58 AB, 12 walks, 30 K's, and hit .138

He's no MadBum with a bat.

Better stick to pitching.

Panda back as an NRI...probably to get one last AB vs. the A'ss at Oracle before he retires a Giant.

Apparently, Panda really wants to play. He is not Romo’ing this.

No chance he makes the team, though.

I'd like to know why a 37 year old, out of shape player, who hasn't even played a professional game in over a year is getting a spring training invite . . . hey, wait a second. cal, is your first name Pablo?

Apparently, Panda played last summer in Abu Dhabi, in a new league called Baseball United. He played with forever Giant Alejandro de Aza and managed by forever Giant Dennis Cook.

When I was in HS (Jr high??) I bought a shit ton of his rookie card because I was convinced he was going to be a star.


See? I was demonstrating my genius baseball takes even way back then.

Nope. The interesting thing will be: will he take a minor league assignment to continue? Will he be offered one?

I just phuking love that guy. Hope he defies all predictions and RAKES.

Apparently, he's lost a bunch of weight and is looking pretty good. That said, I still think its Cal.
