Well, there was this one from Cubs.com:

Other than that, no.

 

Either he's wearing really big shades, or that hat is an awesome sun-protector.

 

I'm pretty sure that's his hat and the sun is at the perfect angle. I doubt those are shades.

I refrained from looking at this thread b/c I wanted to take as many in at one time as possible.

 

That was awesome - 19 pages of spring training pics.

So do they just not wear high socks in ST? Neither Prior nor Walker were wearing them, and they usually do.

 

It better not be a new thing this year to do away with them altogether.

man speaks the truth, hopefully it's just a s.t./ picture day thing. high socks = awsome / should be mandatory.

:shock:

 

I've been on the 'Let's let Pie develop in the minors as long as need be' bandwagon, but with guns like those it makes it hard to stay on.

Soto looks like Piazza Junior. Great pictures....thanks to everyone for posting the pictures!

[Vinestal]

When I first saw that picture of Soto I said to myself, "When did we sign Boy George". He is one freaky looking fellow.

[Brian]

anybody else really not like the new helmets???

I don't really know much about pitch grips, but it could be some form of circle change?

[2242005CY]

Freaky looking? If you think that's freaky lookin, you should visit California and you're opinion on freaky lookin would probably change a little.

Yes. Circle change.

anybody know anything about these?, because I just looked at some other teams and the Cubs are the only team that i've seen with them.
