That’s not a spare tire, guys, it’s Steve Finley.

That’s not a spare tire, Paul; it’s a moderately sized child, or perhaps a large dog, stuffed in a sleeping bag and buttoned up in his jersey.

Sure Bartolo Colon is over weight but he has averaged 198 IP and over 30 games started for the past 9 years, including last years abbreviated season. Based on that, I’d say his off season training regimen has been effective. If he is otherwise in great shape, and has the frame to support it, the spare tire doesn’t seem to affect his ability to pitch.

Now Felix last spring was a different story. Not only did he come to over weight, but more importantly he was out of shape, both strength and cardio wise.

Has anybody seen Felix? He has lost a lot of weight over the offseason and looks like a new man.

18 – I understood blowout as relating to hamstring, ACL, etc. It still makes sense either way.

Are we going to have a contest to see when Guillen’s first blowout will be? Mhmmm Im saying by Late May when the Mariners are 10 games out of first.
