Sale

Man does he still look skinny. I was hoping he would put a little more muscle on.

 

Our first ST pics are of the guys getting checked for hernias?

 

I'll take it.

Shouldn't he have said 33 starts? Why bank on missing any time?

 

I doubt he just offered that up. I am sure he was asked a question.

The Sox will have 84 wins this season.

 

That sounds about right. Better than most would expect for this year when there are no expectations, but it'll simultaneously inflate the expectations for 2013. At which point, they'll disappoint.

He looks exactly like a guy I know in that picture. The guy happens to be the tallest, lankiest person I know.

 

I'm glad Balta followed his pictures with the names of the players, as I had no idea that was Flowers.

Danks doesn't feel pressure 2 live up 2 contract ext: "No bc I’ve always had the attitdue that I’ve been overpaid from the beginning."(more)

 

Danks continued: "...and have been trying to earn it since my rookie year."

Still all good. Nobody hurt. Guys getting their physicals. Herm in better shape to help keep the players in better shape. Ventura and players getting along. Players pretty much saying the same things that they say every spring.

 

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales

KW on RV: "he is who I thought he was."

 

KW on Dunn: he's got to be more confident than I got to be."

 

KW on Sox's WS drought: "It's not as long as 100 plus years." Quickly states it's a reflection of Sox's previous drought, not Cubs' void.

 

KW: "we tried to create a roster where everyone pushes everyone."

 

KW on Tigers: "they replaced a great player with a great player."

 

Herm looks fantastic. It is really good to see he finally took his health seriously and made that change.

Who knows what Herm did, but if anyone has ever seen the Documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" you would know a hardcore juice fast for a month or so could drop some serious weight and quickly. Especially on a guy pushing +400 lbs like Hermie probably was...

No way Herm was pushing 400 pounds. I don't think he's very tall. I would be shocked if he was over 300 before this, let alone near 400. A 400 pounds guy of average height can barely walk around normally, let alone trot from the dugout like Herm did (in an admittedly jiggly fashion).

That's exactly why I put the name, I had no clue either. That and Sale has a beard.

 

 

 

Sale, Flowers, Floyd.

Did Sale lose weight? His is thin. Look at the "chicken" lower legs. That's a Jack McDowell physique.

False. I played semi pro rugby at 370...I'd say Herm was about 320 or so

Yeah, Herm always looked short out there to me, at least compared to the players. Less than 6', probably by a good bit. Plus Herm doesn't have the muscle bulk a Rugby player would have. A normal, not extraordinarily strong person less than 6' at 400 pounds, would not get around like Herm did.

 

That said, he might be 320, I don't know, but 400 for Herm is laughable unless he is like 6'8" or something.

Damn, guess I shouldn't watch this season then. Bring on 2013.

Watching some of these videos out there, Matt Thornton looks like he put on a bit of weight. Not a great sign.

6'2"

He probably put on some weight after Sergio was traded. He was saying to himself.."what...they might make me closer again?"

 

Apparently Gavin is making money on the side donating plasma.

Huh?

Probably referring to the bandage on his arm. I'd imagine from HGH testing which is reportedly requiring players to have 7 vials of blood drawn. Many players are complaining about it and how it's making them sick and feel like s*** well afterwards.

Really, they have blood testing now? Yay!
