He's in the best shape of his life 2017 - "It's that time of year, people" (1 Viewer)

Trevor May

If you were looking for how May feels heading into spring training, May said at Twins Fest, “I feel better than I’ve ever felt. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Physically, I’m definitely in the best shape of my life.”

Aaron Sanchez has added 25lbs of muscle


Aaron Sanchez has put on 25 pounds of muscle this offseason.
Sanchez wants to return to the Blue Jays' starting rotation, so he put on the weight in hopes of being more durable. "The extra weight allows me to use more of my body," explained Sanchez, who worked out with teammate Marcus Stroman this offseason. "I felt that, in the past, I was more upper-body oriented and this extra weight allows me to use more of my lower body." Sanchez missed some time with a lat injury last season and posted a 3.22 ERA and 61/44 K/BB ratio over 92 1/3 innings between the rotation and the bullpen.

Tim Lincecum, the Giants’ two-time Cy Young Award winner and one of the most popular players in team history, tentatively plans to pitch in a showcase in the first two weeks of February hoping to land a big-league job, his agent said Friday.

“He’s throwing every day and says he’s doing great,” said Rick Thurman of the Beverly Hills Sports Council. “He’s got no instability in his hip, and he’s enthusiastic about his progress.”

Thurman said that almost all of the 30 teams have contacted him about Lincecum and that at least 20 have requested medical information, adding he wouldn’t permit his client to throw in a showcase until Lincecum is 100 percent. It’s also a matter of getting in baseball shape.

As Thurman noted, “There was never anything wrong with his arm.”

Lincecum, 31, who last pitched for the Giants on June 27, underwent hip surgery Sept. 3 at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo. He hired a company recommended by the clinic, Sports Rehab Consulting, which is run by physical therapist Brad Schoenthaler, who has closely monitored Lincecum’s Arizona-based rehab.

The hope and expectation for Lincecum, whose ERA the past four years was 4.68, is that a repaired hip will get him back on track with his velocity and command.

“Tim’s doing great,” Schoenthaler said. “He looks really strong. His hip pain and compensation patterns have cleared up. Everything’s coming back a lot quicker than we expected.”

Lincecum is expected to begin throwing off a mound within a week, according to Schoenthaler, who works with him 3 to 3½ hours daily on throwing, rehabbing and strengthening and said Lincecum demonstrates “remarkable power” in his hip, trunk and shoulder.

Does Lincecum have any interest in becoming a closer? He seems to have the mental toughness, and he still has the repertoire of pitches, just not the stamina to turn over a lineup.

Sanchez has a strange body. He's 6-foot-4 but like 5 of those feet are leg.http://gifs.houseofthebluebird.com/wp-content/uploads/Sanchez-2.gif

New pants for 2017

When Matt Adams went home for the holidays, his parents had not seen him since the final series of this past season. He took a car from the airport and when they greeted him at the front door of their Pennsylvania home they saw in person what they did all winter, less of him.

Big City was more of a suburb.

“They were speechless, at first,” Adams said.

The Cardinals’ burly first baseman relocated this offseason to St. Louis so that he could throw himself into a three-phase workout orchestrated around Pilates, nutrition, and conditioning. The results stood there in his parents’ front door, and had anyone who saw him at the Winter Classic this past week talking about it. He shed 25 pounds, his face had slimmed, and he has become so lean that he needed to update his wardrobe, like new pants and workout shorts.

Verbatim

James McCann told reporters Sunday that he is "in the best shape of my life."
It's that time of year, people. McCann said he spent the offseason committed to getting healthier, and it apparently shows. The 26-year-old catcher batted .221/.272/.358 with 12 home runs and 48 RBI in 105 games last season for the Tigers. We should naturally see some improvement in 2017.

I can easily see him batting .225 or .230. 

 
Not sure this qualifies, but Bochy speculates that Matt Cain probably might come into camp in the best shape of his life.

"I expect him to come in camp probably in the best shape he's ever been in, as determined as ever to win that spot in the rotation," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Cain

Bump him in your purely speculative pre-pitcher and catcher drafts.

 
Dallas Keuchel has been playing catch several times per week but hasn't thrown a bullpen session since shoulder woes ended his season prematurely in late August. As with many players heading into spring training, Keuchel feels like he's in the best shape of his life.

He better be. Not sure what happened, but he was turrible last season.
