Josh Hancock ... Too fat? Who cares?

So, the Reds just cut Josh Hancock... because he was apparently overweight... in spite of his 6-1 record in his last 23 appearances. He showed up at camp weighing 224, and they cut him.

Apparently Dave Duncan thinks he deserves a look.

The Reds are losers. Because of decisions like that.

I don't think the Angels will be dismissing Cy Young winner Bartolo Colon because of his girth (listed at 250, looks more like 270 to me).

And, I'm guessing that C.C. Sabathia will be back at camp in spite of his 290 pound girly figure.


And what about David Wells, Denny McClain, and El Sid?

And, my favorite portly pitcher of all time, Lee Smith, the all-time career saves leader, who fortunately spent a couple of years with the Cards. (He was kind enough to give me his autograph after a game against the Cubs back in '91.)


I'm not complaining. If the Reds are going to be in any division, I'm glad they are in the NL Central.
