He's huge as in built like a fucking wall. You obviously haven't watched him if you think he's still HUGE as in a fat fuck...he's not CC Sabathia level of fat anymore.
He's quick as shit for a big man, plays some really good defense now, and if you've watched him this season you'll see he has some seriously improved plate discipline.
People were laughing at the Phillies when they figured they couldn't re-sign him, and now that they do sign him you say it was bad? LOL. We couldn't be anymore happy in Philly right now, this was huge.
I've watched him plenty of times. He may be quick but he is one of the worst base runners in the league and he is only going to get worse as he ages.
You say he has improved his plate discipline but the percentage of pitches he swings at outside the strike zone has increased each year.
Yea the people in Philly may be happy right NOW but we will see what happens in the midst of his this deal.
