posted in 2008 Spring Training |In chronological order:
- Ian’s post liveblogging — or imagining it anyway — the Red Sox/Athletics season opener cracked me up. (Baseball Blend) I caught the 10th inning only. Maybe I’ll catch an inning or two this coming morning, too.
- Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers made the 7-year extension official. The Freep takes us inside the contract.
- Tell Bilfer your faovrite baseball memories. It’s hard to say what mine are. In games I went to, nothing specially really went on, but it was nice watching games at Tiger Stadium from upper deck, right field, pretty much having an entire section to myself. In games I wish I was at, Game 4 of the ALCS might have been the coolest baseball thing to happen in my memory. Unless it was the no-hitter. Both make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. And of course, I have some memories from playing baseball in high school which really wouldn’t be of much interest to anyone.
- According to Danny Knobler, Jim Leyland said he has told Timo Perez he will not make the team out of spring training. He also said he has one pitching spot and one utility spot open on the roster. More and more I am reversing my belief I can predict Jim Leyland’s every move. So I’m going to say Yorman Bazardo makes the team. After deciding Leyland probably won’t take backup catcher Dane Sardinha to Detroit, Fast Freddy Guzman makes the most sense. But like I said, I am not always right about Leyland’s thinking. (Hat-tip Big Al)
- I did a guest post at Royally Speaking, essentially telling the Royals fans I hope their team starts to win some more games. Specifically, I’d like to see them win some more games against the Indians, not the Tigers, thanks.
Tigers released Byrdak today.
