Gabe Kapler might be on to something.
The new Phillies skipper has already faced a bit of scrutiny because of his somewhat unorthodox training and fitness methods.
This guy doesn't look like most managers. He's cut - the result of lots of time in the weight room. Yep, he's right in there with his players.
Some of the stuff Kapler espouses seems over the top.
But I have to admit I was intrigued by one thing he has already introduced as the Phillies kick off their training camp once again in beautiful, sunny Clearwater.
Kapler has pushed back the start of the Phillies morning workouts.
And you know why?
He doesn't want players to have to wake up to the rude jolt of an alarm clock.
Instead Kapler believes the body should get you up when it feels right.
The guy never would have survived under the nuns who drilled us every morning at 8 a.m.
