Baseball has guaranteed contracts ... Pablo likeky. That is about as unprofessional as Papsmear choking Harper.

In other news ... Pablo is going back to switch hitting this season.

New Balance has to be stoked about that picture.

He peaked in 2009. In 2011 he only played in 117 games. The following 3 years after that, his OPS has been under .800 and dropped every year. I wouldnt say hes an excellent player by any means. His home and away splits dont suggest it had anything to do with AT&T park either.

Is he a good player? Yeah I would say so. Is he worth 100 million over 5 years? Not even close. The Red Sox are paying him like hes a superstar player when he isnt even close to being one and never has been. All of his postseason success is behind him, if they expect him to duplicate those performances in the AL they are dreaming, even if Fenway's fences are little league.

Damn my baseball knowledge is incredible.

I think Pablo is trying to improve his ob%.  Pitcher throws a pitch to him over the plate, and it hits him in the belly. Take your base.

I don't think hiring Mo Vaughn as his off-season conditioning coach was a smart idea.

The first rule of Fat Club is: Don't wear shirts that ride up and show your fat.

In Pablo's case those are called ponchos.

2nd rule of Fat Club: Make sure the team has the 6XL size warmups you ordered in your locker before reporting.
