Andruw Jones = Fat

[Derwood]

Apparently showed up to Dodger camp weighing 240lbs.

 

Andruw Jones reported to Dodgers camp weighing 240 pounds.

Jones is listed at 210 pounds on MLB.com, but has clearly put on a significant amount of weight in recent years. Jones stole 20-plus bases in each of his first four seasons and swiped 11 bags in 2001, but hasn't reached double digits since and went 5-for-7 on the bases last year.

i think the impact on his base-stealing prowess is a lot less worrisome than the loss of range in the outfield, the greater potential for injury, and the possible loss of bat speed.

When did the Dodgers or Andruw Jones become our rivals?

What is he, like 16 here? I imagine from 16 to 30 most of us are going to put on some pounds.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

He can't weigh more than 180 in that picture... he's gained at least 60 pounds.

I knew this was going to happen when he said Randall Simon was like a normal-sized brother.

Look, everyone's been missing the point about Jones. The issue isn't his weight; if it were that simple, the Dodgers could bring in Oprah Winfrey, Rikki Lake, Starr Jones & Kirstie Alley as conditioning coaches to share his feelings about his self-esteem. No, my friends, the fundamental problem is Jones' spelling, specifically his inability to spell his first name properly! This has long been a portent of bad things to come, and for some time now, like a voice crying in the wilderness, I've been forecasting Jones' inevitable fall from grace.

 

This, by the way, is yet another twisted branch from the same misguided Dodger tree that gave us Eric Gagne, who for his part is pathologically unable to pronounce his last name properly (unlike Greg Gagne, a Real American who did). That was the problem with "Shay-Juan" Dunston and the true reason he never fulfilled his potential. Now, I'll grant that Chone Figgins has managed to beat the odds, as it were, but every rule has its exceptions, which only serve to prove the rule.

 

And this, incidentally, is why we can expect to see "Jhonny" Peralta go into the tank, as well. And please spare me the bleeding-heart multiculturalism, OK? I don't care how they do things in Curacao or Quebec or Venezuela; these guys are playing in the U.S. & getting (over)paid in U.S. greenbacks, so they can darn-well respect our cultural norms, viz. our spelling and our pronunciation! Confucius say: when in Rome, do as the ones paying your salary do.

Most of us don't have a $36 million contract to stay in shape. Gain weight is one thing, body fat is another.

Agreed. I'm sure if we checked out a certain few other forums, we'd find a few guys laughing and making sure everyone knows how hilarious they are.
