Within the next couple of weeks, you will inevitably read several reports about which Mets are in the best shapes of their lives and then several snarky blog posts (perhaps from this site) about those reports pointing out that players almost always claim to be in the best shape of their lives and there are dozens of those stories every spring. There’ll also be stories about pitchers working on new pitches.

That’s Spring Training, and it’s not really anyone’s fault. Everyone’s looking for something to write about and there’s only so much you can say about baseball players stretching.

What I’m hoping to hear more about soon, though, is something Matt Cerrone caught in the background of this WheelHouse segment. It’s hard to see for sure, but it looks as if Danny Herrera’s hair just might be in the best shape of its life. Look at the volume and body and sheen!

We’ve seen baseball players endeavor all sorts of groundbreaking work in facial hair, but we really haven’t seen enough recently in the way of fabulous flowing man-manes. Here’s hoping the diminutive screwballer keeps it, grows it, and both rinses and repeats in 2012. Also that he makes the team. 5’6″ lefty screwballers are the new market inefficiency.
