Day 3 of Spring Training has C.J. Wilson in a box jump contest with a race car driver

C.J. is already in the mood to compete, even if it's in a box jump contest with one of the drivers from his racing team.

But hey...Danny Burkett started it!

The gauntlet was thrown down, and C.J. answered the call.

Okay @danny.burks and @cjwilsonracing #ChallengeAccepted #LegDay - when you add a 90* rotation to your box jumps you cant cheat and swing your legs open to clear more space. Plus it's more baller. #BoxJumps #TeamNB @nbbaseball @nbrunning @newbalance @angels #spring2016

Trash was talked via private chat, of course.

When your drivers talk smack you gotta step up! @danny.burks @cjwilsonracing

Burketts would not back down, however, and upped the box jump stakes.

Took out both my shins when I tried to top @cjwilsonphoto's 45" box jump... Lol BUT I put up a 47" jump with a running start!! All in good fun for the #FilingCabinetChallenge . . . creds: @edes3zero

Oh, the thrill of watching two dudes seeing who can jump onto to the tallest box in the gym. Hopefully C.J. put this little contest on the back burner while he went and did some baseball stuff. Priorities, man.
