Z looks pretty big in this picture. Hopefully its just the really oversized jacket...

 

He only appears larger as his awesomeness actually shows up on film as a little extra padding. That and Hank White is shrinking.

[Big Fergie J]

For some reason I am pumped about Pierre! I think we are going to really enjoy watching him leadoff and run!

 

GO CUBS!

 

Agreed......Juan Pierre = immediate fan favourite....

 

Plus he looks a little like Kenny Lofton....only faster....which is saying something

[Vinestal]

So Aramis didn't report today?

 

If he shows up in a couple of days with a boombox blasting salsa music to celebrate his arrival, I'm done with this team.

 

He must have shown up today, Cubs.com has an article quoting him about him playing in the WBC.

Why is he wearing NBA socks?

Here's Dusty take on Aramis and the WBC.

"With his health conditions of the past, we sort of considered that it might be better if he doesn't play," Baker said. "It's not necessarily final at this point but he's leaning toward that."

[Brian]

yeah just because there is no pictures of him doesn't mean he isn't there. I don't think i've seen any pics of Murton, DLee and probably a couple of others.

[Yeti]

I'm digging the beard. I wanna see it Damon-esque by Opening Day.

if he just lets it go with no trims or anything, he'll look more like billy gibbons from ZZTop by opening day

OMGZ PRIOR THROWING A BALL, I THOUGHT HE NEEDED DA TOMMY JOHN???

He's making a pickoff move in that picture, though. I heard the Cubs plan on delaying his surgery so they can use him as a relief picker-offer.

[otis89]

OK. Prior threw off a mound. He's fine. Everyone can relax now.

when did the cubs sign david cone?

[Drew Doughty]

Walker does grow hair damn fast...look at the first pic (with Dusty) and then the second pic (with Mabry and someone else). Crazy.

[Anna]

I think the pictures must have been taken on different days. He's fairly clean shaven with Dusty, but has a little beard thing. With Mabry, he's justy hairy. Nothing extra on his chin.

those two can't be from the same day because in the first he has a small goatee, in the second it's all the same length.

[Jon]

Well, he didn't actually throw off the mound. He's hoping to do that in the next few days, I believe.

[David]

Not that I think or even suspect that there's anything wrong with him, but that's just a pickoff drill he's doing, guys... :lol:

Hmm...didn't notice that.

JJ's looks like "Bubba" from "Forrest Gump" in that photo

Wow. He does look like David Cone.

 

And why is Jones throwing the ball from behind his head?

[USSoccer]

That was a 550 ft HR by Aramis.

You want Walker dead, or not to shave? :?
