Bryce Harper's Spring Power Surge Could Signal 2017 Mlb Rebound

... one showing Harper wasn't hitting the ball as hard. Harper's poor 2016 season had everyone searching for answers. Harry How/Getty Images. Teams and players deny injuries all the time, so that's not a big deal. What would be a big deal is if the injury helps explain Harper's 2016 numbers, and if his early spring success is a better sign than any words of his improved health. People who know Harper say the shoulder wasn't his only issue last year. He did have problems with his swing, and he didn't deal with it well. But those things can be resolved if Harper's body is strong enough now to allow him to perform. Remember, this is a guy who won't turn 25 until October, a guy whose 2015 numbers were so good that we at Bleacher Report  were comparing them to those put up by Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds. Harper might well have been the best player in baseball then. The Harper-Mike Trout comparisons were fair. It's hard to make any comparison like that now. In Trout's worst full season in the major leagues, his OPS was.939 (better than the career OPS of Hank Aaron or Alex ...

Tigers Seeking 2nd Opinion On J.d. Martinez’s Right Foot Injury

... are difficult to read, especially in areas of the body like the foot, with so many structures in close proximity. If there is any ligament damage, it may not require surgery, though the degree of structural damage could vary widely. If treated conservatively, his return could range anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The Tigers will be hoping for the best when it comes to Martinez. He has been a rock in the middle of their lineup over the past three seasons, hitting.299/.357/.540 with 83 home runs and 246 RBI. He has been worth 11.0 r WAR during that span despite missing chunks of two seasons, in 2014 and 2016. The Tigers were without Martinez for roughly six weeks in 2016, and primarily relied upon Mike Aviles and Steven Moya to fill the void in right field during his absence. Martinez’s return sparked one of the best moments of the Tigers’ 2016 season, but a hot finish could not push the Tigers into the postseason. Unfortunately, the Tigers’ options behind Martinez have not improved much over the winter. Aviles is gone, but Moya did not show much promise in ...

9 Things To Know About Selling A Home In Spring 2017

... This means making small improvements to help your house stand out to potential buyers. Skip the big renovation. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock. Homeowners, especially those with more dated decor, often feel that they'll need to do a big renovation before they put their homes on the market, but these projects may not generate enough of a return to be worthwhile. "You can do a lot through smaller projects," Dykstra said. "You don't always have to do something big like redoing your bathroom.". According to a recent National Association of Realtors repor t, sellers only recoup about 58 percent of their investment on a bathroom renovation.

Tim Tebow Might Be Sticking Around Mets Camp

... of all the day’s action and other fun stuff from around the internet that we think is worth your time. TIM TEBOW ALERT: Tim Tebow’s still playing in major league games for the New York Mets at spring training, and the latest word is there might be more to come. At least that’s how manager Terry Collins framed it Saturday. This time, TC says Tebow may make a few more appearances in spring games. — Marc Carig (@Marc Carig) March 18, 2017. More than once this spring Collins has suggested Tebow’s most recent Grapefruit League appearance would be his last. Now he’s suggesting that Tebow has actually earned a longer look on the major league side rather than strictly appearing in minor league games for the reminder of training camp. It could be argued the Mets are doing this just to pump up ticket sales, especially knowing that Tebow’s has no chance to make the team. Then again, Tebow has actually looked respectable at the plate as of late. In his first at-bat on Saturday, he impressively handled a Michael Wacha 95-mph fastball for a clean, opposite-field single. That hit gave him four in his last eight at-bats. [ Sign up for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball: Get in the game and join ...

Ranking The 10 Must-watch Spring Games Of 2017

... the quarterback battle is going to be hot between junior Quinten Dormady and redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano. There are tons of reasons to watch things get juicy in Knoxville. 7. UCLA Bruins. 5 of 11. Josh Rosen's return couldn't come at a better time for embattled coach Jim Mora Jr. Mark J. Terrill/Associated Press. UCLA would love to just forget 2016 ever happened. Instead, it may be a tough one for head coach Jim Mora Jr. to overcome. Though he's 41-24 over his first five seasons in Westwood, California, a 25-20 Pac-12 record has him on shaky ground, especially following a 4-8 campaign last year. That debacle, on the heels of an 8-5 season in 2015, has him firmly on the hot seat. But there is a monstrous excuse for the downfall of last year. Sure, the Bruins did open the season with a loss to Texas A&M despite being healthy. It didn't take long for the injury bug to hit in a major way, however, with the biggest loss star quarterback Josh Rosen. With Rosen back, everybody ...
