There were reports that Pablo Sandoval had dropped some pounds this offseason, but unless he gained 100 pounds before he dropped the 20, that can’t be true. Look, I’m not saying the guy has to be carved out of marble. If you’re going to be out of shape, baseball is the one sport you can still play. But when you’re making almost $20 million a year and you come off a horrible year like Sandoval did last year, you can’t come into camp looking like that. It’s just not going to work. With Sandoval at third and now Hanley at first, I couldn’t have less confidence in our corner infielders if they were blind with no limbs. Maybe Pablo will hit .300 and play a decent third base, or maybe he’ll sweat his way to becoming a $20 million a year bench player.

Look, he’s King Fu Panda. You ever see a skinny panda? Me neither.
But if you’re making $20 mil a year, is it such a hard thing to at least lose 30 pounds? It’s not as if he can’t afford a personal trainer.
Yeah I don’t mind the weight. If you can play well and be heavy then good for you. But he was bad last year on both sides of the ball. So I was hoping for some type of change
Yeah it was surprising that he was so bad last year.
