They’re bringin’ sexy back
ByVia Pinstripes PA, Getty Images has the “photo day” pics available. You should definitely check ‘em out, but here are the highlights:
- Joba must have that Thinner disease. Dude’s downright skinny.
- Jason Giambi definitely avoided the In-N-Out burgers this winter. Wait, didn’t he say that a few years back?
- Here are your top two position prospects.
- Jesus!
- Andrew Brackman is one big dude.
- Brian Bruney lost a ton of weight. Hopefully he practiced throwing strikes with the empty cans of Slim Fast.
- The Fat Relievers™ aren’t so fat anymore; I’d say … husky.
- Check out Ross Ohlendorf. Tell me that kid doesn’t look like he was born to wear pinstripes.
Make sure you take a look at all the photos. Good stuff. Some of ‘em remind me of yearbook picture day.
why are they all in those dorky long sleeve shirts? the look like little leaguers. i’m surprised the didn’t make melky wear a double flapped batting helmet just for shits and giggles.
wait, can i say shit?
Shit is fine. But double flapped, now that’s a different story.
Whatever, pinstripes are slimming.
You put double http://www. on the photo day link, so it takes you to some other site
Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.
Chris Britton looks like he’s passing some serious gas… All in all they all look pretty uncomfortable in their pictures, I must say. But that doesn’t stop me from being psyched about seeing ‘em!!
Okay, someone fess up… who hit Giambi on top of the head with a frying pan?
Joba and Farnsworth need to get friendly with the razor.
no one has anything NICE to say???
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that Joba lost weight in the off season. That’s a good sign, since that was a concern when the Yankees originally signed him. He seems to have that under control.
Is it just me or does Andrew Brackman have a seriously tiny head?
In proportion to the rest of his body, I mean.
Something nice: it definitely looks like the players worked hard to get in shape, and I’m psyched for some small ball this year… running out grounders, being able to take that extra step to make the defensive play, taking the extra base because you can get there that much faster… it’s all sounding really exciting!!!! Booyah.
Random note for those interested: PECOTA cards are up (as of two days ago, I know, I was away this weekend). It absolutely HATES Tacoby Bellsbury, projecting a ceer-high VORP of 20.1 in 2010, and stealing no more than 32 bases in his career. Of his top 10 comps, the only one’s I’ve heard of are Johnny Damon, Vince Coleman, Steve Sax, and Shannon Stewart.
I was looking through the players and I see this one guy, I had to squint to notice it was Girardi! He looks like a player still.
you’re right about ohlendhorf. he kinda looks like paulie o. lets hope he can bring the same energy that paul did.
Alex – I also thought I saw Paul at first glance – i did a double take and said hey wait thats not Paulie!!
Buster Olney reports that Ross Ohlendorf is a damn good fit for pinstripes.
I too thought that Ohlendorf looks like a young O’Neill.
Whoa, Girardi can’t keep them running all camp, there will be nothing left by the end. Also what is wrong with Giambi’s face whenever he takes a picture. He looks like he’s passing kidney stones or something. His face actually reminds me of that Friends episode where Chandler smiles all weird in pictures and he doesn’t know why, thats the Giambi face.
Jeff Karstens looks miserable, yikes.
Has he ever looked good?
All I have to say is that is NOT what I expected to see the first time I saw Mark Melancon. I nearly lost half of my coffee.
I think the tinniest head syndrome has to go to Pavano. His picture on page two looks photoshopped or something. Did he visit some voodoo dr. for his bruised butt?
