They hired Nick Paparesta away from the A's to lead the new training staff. He'd been there for 12 years as head athletic trainer. Hope it's a good hire.

Based on recent years being better appears to be a low bar to clear

And he was assistant athletic trainer at Tampa during Baldelli’s time

I hope he has some pull in the management to help manage the well being of the pitchers & players health on the field.

I like the fact of them stressing preseason conditioning

I still wanted Kent Hrbek as the trainer but hope this guy can turn these delicate flowers into tough guys. If we called into work with a sore toe or finger my boss would laugh. Feed these guys some meat and potatoes, quit giving them tree branches to eat. No play, No pay. You’re welcome.????
