This is bad news for the rest of baseball

[HaloMagic]

So is Prince Fielder.

i'm feeling pretty good too. i've been lowering my cholesterol and triglycerides through workout and dieting. i'm going in to work tomorrow in the best shape of my life.

[Brent Maguire]

I think it's time we start noting when a player doesn't say he's in the best shape of his life. 

[CaliAngel]

Can we just save ourselves a bunch of time and say EVERY player in MLB coming to Spring Training is reportedly in the "best shape of their lives"???

 

Except for Fielder, he's full of crap, cause I can tell you one thing, he most definitely is NOT.

[Reveille1984]

I read every Cabrera article just to see the Detroit nutswinger comments about Trout that inevitably surface:

 

"How did the Angels fair last season? As far as I'm concerned war is just a bs stat that some agent came up with to get more money for his players."

 

"Hmm??? A healthy Cabrera. I'm thinking .600/100/300 this year. And at season's end I'll still be reading "Mike Trout's a better player." "

 

"How many games is WAR monger Trout winning? How did the playoffs go for his team? Nice player, tad over rated. Dustin Pedroia has also had some great WAR years.... Does that mean he was the best player in baseball those years?"

 

 

Comedy gold!

[Angel Oracle]

It's now a dead heat.

I don't know which I hate more now. 

 

"The ball is coming out of his hand well"?

Scioscia inserting a 'y' at the end of each player's name?

"Insert name is in the best shape of his career"?

"Some players are scuffling, but we'll help get them to where they need to be."?

Being fit or in shape isn't synonymous with being thin.

Prove Cabrera is better than Trout and the best player in baseball because he won MVP, by comparing Trout to another player who won an MVP.  That's some sound logic.

[tdawg87]

Detroit fans are seriously ****ing retarded.

[sneaky_flute]

Even if you don't like WAR, it's pretty obvious by looking at defense and base running that Trout is the superior player. 

[Angelsjunky]

Do we have to go over this again?

 

1) ALL teams have stupid fans, including the Angels

2) Miguel Cabrera is the best hitter in baseball

3) Mike Trout is the best overall player in baseball

Some fans are stupider than others.

I went outside the other day and threw a baseball, and it came out of my hands really well. Where it ended up was another matter.

[nando714]

Hand miggy the mvp now

[Blarg]

Cabrera had to step it up since he knew Trout is probably not showing up fat as Fielder to start spring training.

[Agalloch]

Poor Detroit fans.

[KingJustinian]

Being fit or in shape isn't synonymous with being thin. 

 

All that fat is dead weight, no pun intended. It makes him slower but not stronger. It definitely hurts his performance. Why the guy you responded to may be incorrect is because Fielder has never been in good shape, so he could be in the best shape of his life but still very out of shape.

It doesn't hurt to be thin, but again, you can be fat and in shape. The dude is a professional athlete and is also considerably thinner than he was during his time with the Brewers.

Fielder would run laps around most of the members of this board. Dude is like a pentathlete compared to the people on here who criticize his weight and health.

I hope Blanton's not a member of this board. You just hurt his feelings.

This is the same line of thinking that makes idiots blame Aaron Rodgers for not stopping Kaepernick.

LOL I think we hit a nerve...

 

HaloMagic Gold right here. This quote should go in the archives.

"prince fielder fencing" and "prince fielder on a horse" both returned no relevant google results.  I'll just have to conjure these images on my own.
