Miguel Olivo becomes my Spring Training Hero

"I’m in the fourth best shape of my life," said a sort of noticeably trim Olivo. "Last year I was only in the 11th best shape of my life, so I really put time in the gym this offseason. I wanted to get into the top 5 shapes of my life."

This pretty much made my day, I will now be paying more attention to Olivo...just for his awesome comments.

Hahahaha

I suddenly like Miguel Olivo, even if Jose Reyes doesn’t.

I bet Jerry Manuel just bunted.

They were long time friends

growing up and probably have gotten over the skirmish from a couple years back. I for one still don’t like Olivo no matter wtf clever shit is coming out of his mouth for the simple fact that he was dumb enough to go after Reyes.

I know Reyes and Hanley Ramirez were childhood friends.

Didn’t know about Olivo though.

Save Jenrry Mejia!

From DNL article: Sunday, September 30th 2007

“Jose Reyes and Marlins catcher Miguel Olivo, longtime friends from the Dominican Republic, each charged the other with instigating the fifth-inning melee that ratcheted up the 13-0 victory yesterday that vaulted the Mets back into a first-place tie in the NL East.”
