So yesterday the first games of Spring Training were played, which marks another season is underway. Alex Rodriguez, who was booed at his first plate appearance, smacked a home run in his second at bat, which was followed up with a standing ovation. Is this is how it’s going to be for him this year?  I mean boo him until he hits a home run and then it’s okay?  Haha, I don’t understand fans nowadays. 

Manny Ramirez, is expected to have a response to the Dodgers by Friday, which nobody really knows what he is going to do. And also Johan Santana, the star pitcher for the Mets is scratched from Friday’s start, which probably has some Mets fans a little worried.  More games were played today, with the Dbakcs and Dodgers scoring 31 runs between the two, and Jose Reyes belting two home runs for the day.  All these games just get me excited for the season, but I’ll be back next Tuesday with any more exciting news about this year’s spring training.

So to keep you guys updated on this years spring training, I have a few updates for ya.  The main guys that landed in new cities were

Bobby Abreu, now playing for the Angels

Ken Griffey Jr. , going back to Seattle

Andruw Jones, now a Ranger, however just signed a minor league contract, due to his lack of talent last year.

Joe Crede, now a Twin, shifting all the way from Chicago….

CC Sabathia,AJ Burnett, Mark Teixera, Nick Swisher…. All new Yankees…..

Milton Bradley, now a Cub

Adam Dunn… signed finally with the Nationals

K. Rodriguez (Francisco), and JJ Putz…. new Mets

Jon Garland… now a Diamondback

Derek Lowe… is a Brave

Pat Burrell… is a Tampa Bay Devil Ray…

and Manny, still notice on where he is signing…

 

Other news in baseball now, Miguel Tejada, SS for the Astros, pledged guilty for lying to Congress about knowing other people who did steriods, so he could face some charges but none yet.

Alex Rodriguez, claimed he did steroids from 2001-2003 when he was with the Rangers, and doesn’t face any charges as we speak… and new sources link him to training with a known steroid dealer in 2007 but no evidence as been shown of this yet….

Well that’s all for now, be back in a few days with any more updates about MLB

What’s up everyone, it’s Travis here starting a blog but first let me tell you about myself. I’m a sophomore at Texas A&M University where I’m a Sports Management major where I hope to become a coach one day. I love sports, but most of all I love baseball. This blog I created will take an in depth look at this years spring training for Major League Baseball with hopefully some professional insight to let you guys know whats going on. So I’ll be here throughout the semester filling in the spaces but hopefully we can create a community of fans who love the game and where we can talk about baseball.  And by the way, I’m a huge Yankee fan so if anyone wants to talk about the Yankees just let me know.
