Ford and Voit are two more like that. Every time I see either of them stretching to catch a throw at first, I am anticipating them pulling something.
I'm no lightweight myself but I am not a professional athlete. The only other place that I see such heifers is football (I'm talking major sports, so leave out sumo wrestling  ) where every pound is prized on the offensive line. Baseball really has a lot of fatsos who really should be focused on losing weight and avoiding injuries, considering how much money they are paid. |

If I owned the team, I would fire the strength and conditioning coach out of sheer frustration, be it his fault or not.
What is wrong with today's athletes besides being too big for their muscles and joints? I'm not talking now just about being overweight but also perhaps being too bulked up.
Maybe having no strength and conditioning coach might be a better idea. That, and tighter drug testing.
