That's a lot of thic bois

 

What's even crazier about this is Vlad and Rowdy's weights are probably off by at least 20-30+ lbs.

[Krylian]

 

Pffft. Vladdy @ 250 lbs. Puh-lease.

[Spanky99]

That's rookie weight, unless they change that s*** now.

[Jonn]

Vlad was probably between 280-290 during the start of the season. Might be in the 265-275 range now. I think we should be thrilled if Vlad is ever in the 250 range again.

I heard it mentioned on the broadcast that apparently he's lost 20 ibs since the start of the season. I don't know if I see it or not.

I think Tellez at 6'4" 255 lb seems a lot closer to current reality than Guerrero who is listed as 2 inches shorter and 5 pounds less. It seems Tellez somewhat maintained the weight loss he had when showing up in Feb. I am guessing Vlad is currently more like 270-280 lb (assuming the 6'2" is accurate). That ass is huge!

I think the weight may be affecting his game. He probably needs to get down to 240-250 (maybe less) and maintain to fully achieve his potential, especially longer-term.

Did they say that? I could swear he looked a bit bigger as the season has progressed.

[saskjayfan]

I think they said 10 lbs. He's probably gained some strength since the start of camp which is the big thing.

[Ex Player]

I think 10lbs is accurate. My girlfriend even noticed a slight weight loss on TV.

 

He's got more to go though. I'd say at least 20 lbs more

You can't lose weight and gain strength at the same time unless you're on steroids...

[Dokken]

You don't need to put on more muscle mass to get stronger, just better 'conditioning' the existing muscles. So that along with losing some of his copious amounts of flab, it is very reasonable to expect both.

[Jays24]

So who are the Jays sending down to make room for all these trade deadline acquisitions?

Waguspack will be out for Stripling

Panik is out for Villar (maybe espinal will be out actually since he has options)

SRF out for Ray

Most likely Espinal will be out for Villar since he has options and the latter can and has played SS.

Espinal will be out for Villar. I like your thinking though.

Drury —> Vogelbach

Thornton —> Walker

Espinal (or Panik) —> Villar

Reid-Foley —> Ray

Waguespack —> Stripling

[BlueRocky]

Ross Stripling is Buck approved Vetrin Presence

[Jays24]

Drury —> Vogelbach

Thornton —> Walker

Espinal (or Panik) —> Villar

Reid-Foley —> Ray

Waguespack —> Stripling

 

Wow, quite the upgrade. We have Giles and Bo coming back soon too. But with our luck, we'll have other guys out at that point.

Yes actually, you do.

[Dokken]

Yes actually, you do.

 

So you never heard of muscle tone ?! Did you ever wonder why a relatively skinny guy like Ted Williams could hit all those HRs ?

I was talking about strength, not the ability to hit homeruns.

[Dokken]

I was talking about strength, not the ability to hit homeruns.

 

so it doesn't require strength to hit the ball hard?

[Ex Player]

No offense dude, but the fail is strong with this post

[L54]

Increasing muscle mass and increasing strength are not the same thing. You do not need to increase mass to increase strength.

[TheDragon]

Strength + speed = power. You're talking more about speed...

[L54]

You can't lose weight and gain strength at the same time unless you're on steroids...

 

Yes you can. In fact, the most effective way to lose weight is to gain strength.

[saskjayfan]

so who's starting tomorrow?

[TheDragon]

No offense dude, but the fail is strong with this post

 

Probably delete your post because claiming my post is a fail when you're wrong makes you look pretty damn stupid, sorry.

 

Wait, too late, I just quoted you.

[TheDragon]

You don't understand body building then...
