But have you read Svluga's The Grind like Harper always recommends? Zim's offseason workouts are not 0, and Spring Training isn't 60. And he's not an idiot--he'd ramp up sprinting and hitting in the cage to make sure he wouldn't inflame his plantar fascia or snap his whole body in half when he got to Spring Training. Give him and Werth alternating days at DH and play them 6 or 7 innings each in the field on the alternate days. <br /><br />Zim is plenty fragile, but he's a professional athlete, not a blog commenter trying to play in the majors.Josh Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524273388243642450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-60360760000705882022017-03-06T13:35:59.009-08:002017-03-06T13:35:59.009-08:00LID= Lemon Icecream Doughnut.

I'm not crazy about lemon being the flavor, but the doughnut should be an acceptable substitution for, or dare I say it, improvement upon the bread-like ingredient. Better than the bitter "chocolate" wafer one gets for the sake of durability and storage.blovy8https://www.blogger.com/profile/06888192019412533415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-144733312292442682017-03-06T13:27:36.706-08:002017-03-06T13:27:36.706-08:00Josh, and then he would proceed to pull his obliqu...Josh, and then he would proceed to pull his oblique hamstring sphinctertineas rotator cuff and go on the 190 DL. <br /><br />Just like I would if I went from zero to opening day roster in two weeks.

I think if he showed up for two weeks and started 6 games each week he'd probably be as ready as he'd ever be. The agonizing thing about the early part of ST is that you get 2 ABs a game and don't even play every day, so it could easily take 3 days to get a single game's ABs so the sample stays tiny for a really long time.Josh Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524273388243642450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-26102371066322986642017-03-06T10:06:08.842-08:002017-03-06T10:06:08.842-08:00To be fair, Zim has barely had any plate appearanc...To be fair, Zim has barely had any plate appearances yet. Having said that, we all know full well that he tends to be a slow starter who needs a bunch of appearances in order to get into the swing of things.<br /><br />Therefore, it would indeed be kind of nice if he actually did get enough plate appearances now so that he can truly be ready when the season starts in April, as opposed to May or June or July or August or September.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-36952754594665820482017-03-06T08:13:53.388-08:002017-03-06T08:13:53.388-08:00The "I" is for Iberico pork, obvs.The "I" is for Iberico pork, obvs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-1767237087163009722017-03-06T07:57:45.126-08:002017-03-06T07:57:45.126-08:00LID is good but those items are reaching.

He makes sense as the last man on the bench.

As long as Lind looks ok, I can't see CRob making the team. If both lefty hitting Lind and Drew are on the bench, seems like they would want another right handed hitting option... so given the love of MAT... I think we see him make the trip north again but with a short leash. Bullpen wise, Nathan could very well make the team with Glover getting stashed at AAA.Chas Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00306056671418831755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207681.post-61470602682425297052017-03-06T02:25:53.739-08:002017-03-06T02:25:53.739-08:00I keep expecting cuts, but given how much the regu...I keep expecting cuts, but given how much the regulars hate Spring Training, I guess there is no harm in keeping their powder dry for a while.Positively Half St.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07048223068323120438noreply@blogger.com
