Quentin was a number one draft choice of the Chicago Bulls pre Michael Jordan. I think he was run out of town because of problems with illegal substances and I guess from your previous posts ended up in Seattle. Good to hear that someone else got to see is sweet jumper.

Even as a Division I college baseball player I know that doghnuts and pizza everyday are unhealthy for you. If you throw french fries in the mix, those three foods are quite possibly the worst for lowering body fat and enhancing muscle size. Anyone who has played serious baseball before will tell you that baseball players are not overpaid because of the 162 game season. The aches and pains that many of the position players deal with everyday is extraordinary. The MLB should be more concerned with pain killing drugs than steroids which are a far bigger problem amongst baseball players. And this problem not only occurs in the pros but on the college level as well… I can tell you from experience

Sorry Chris anyone can have mental problems , being an athlete doesn’t clear you of that and sometimes people forget that. And when I saw spezio this year I didn’t even recognize him , he is absolutely jacked.

He went from 14 Â½ percent body fat to 8 Â½. You’re right, cutting it by six percent is not the right way to write that. Oh well. My bad.

I assume he cut his body fat TO 6%, not BY 6% – otherwise he may have gone from fat to fat minus 6% of that fat. Which is still fat.

I get disgusted when I hear that these players ,making millions of dollars and having high expectations placed on them, are coming to camp out of shape [with very poor diets- ala Spezio, Vin Baker], possibly having drinking problems [Vin Baker, maybe Jose Paniagua], having psychological problems like depression [ Vin Baker] or domestic violence issues. I would think that teams would have these players get not only physicals but mental health exams as well as therapy to help them grow up. Also, have a weight clause in their contract for those who can’t control their food intake.

Great stuff – I wonder how a sports journalist can get sucked into the annual “best shape of his life” article each and every year. And the funny thing is, I generally respect the talents of the Seattle Times, P-I, and the Herald and Tribune writers. I’m a transplant who now lives in San Diego and I print up Mariners news every day and read it with the local paper… and with the junk that the Union Tribune puts out, it’s always disappointing to when there’s a day with almost no real NEWS in the daily Mariners news.

[Off Topic] The M’s listed on ESPN are Jeremy Reed (3) and King Felix (6). Nick Swisher of the A’s is listed as the top rookie prospect.

And now back to our normal programming… Grimace… Classic.

[off topic] Is anyone a ESPN Insider subscriber? They have a bunch of articles up about the M’s today and I was wondering what they are saying about them this year and who the two Mariners on “Top prospects” list are. [/off topic]
