    2011 Spring Training updates thread

    As I do every year, I'm making a thread specifically for spring training related blog updates/articles that doesn't deserve a thread of its own.
    From John Fay - All here but Volquez

    But everyone but Edinson Volquez has already checked in.

    “He’s supposed to get here tomorrow,” Dusty Baker said. “But he may have to go back to the Dominican because of Visa problems from his suspension.”

    From Mark Sheldon:

    One of the things I watched was Aroldis Chapman long tossing with bullpen coach Juan "Porky" Lopez. Chapman was chucking balls from the center field warning track area to Lopez, who was at the foul line just beyond first base. Let me tell you, these were some impressive heaves.

    I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

    That's stupid long (Chapman). Wow. Makes my shoulder hurt just thinking about that.


    And thanks, as always, OBM.

    Juan Lopez must have a pretty strong arm as well.

    I read that Leake had bulked up this year. Are there any pics of him from spring training yet?

    ~edit~ My apologies. It's gone. Weird. It was there just a short while ago.

    It's been moved (or unstickied) it seems. http://www.redszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87708

    An annual rite of Spring Training is my daughter's illustration she creates in honor of Pitchers & Catchers reporting. Here's this year's entry:
