2015: The Back To The Future Season

[PenFoe]

Other guys fatter than Baez who play CF:

Andrew McCutcheon - 27.0
Carlos Gomez - 27.5
Adam Jones - 28.1
Bryce Harper - 28.6

Comparing Baez's BMI to Mike Trout's BMI in an attempt to prove Baez could handle center field is something I'm going to have to journal about tonight so I can fully process it.

This is in direct response to Tonk's accusation that Baez is too fat to play CF. 

I have no idea if he can actually play CF, I'm just saying he's not too fat to play CF.

BMI is for normal people who post on message boards with chicken-wingz-stained fingers. It's doesn't work for elite athletes.

BMI is a tragically flawed metric for anything other than ballpark guesses about whether someone should cut down on the number of Oreo sleeves they eat per day.

Many, many times this.

To sum up: Baez can avoid salad at SS if he likes.  If he wants to play CF he's going to have to take a pilates class or two.

How many is too many?

For some reason I remember reading that Russell would be the homie that could end up in CF if there were a glut of prospects that actually ended up being good at the baseballs.

A friend whose name rhymes with Blavier Blaez?

On the other hand, it's good to know I'm in better shape -- and a more capable center fielder -- than Mike Trout*.

Fuck sake, these last two posts have got me fucking crying.

He's too busy trading Castro for a bag of magic beans.

You've all earned your pay today. Good work. This was a nice dose of Desipio Classic.
