[angelstilldeath]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS

saw mike trout. looks large, but in good, scary way. says hes 235 lbs, down 6 from start of spring, up 4 from end of '12

 

I'm OK with that!

[Wallerrrr]

im good with that too. he's already dropped 6..he will be right where he needs to be come mid march.

 

the fact he is only up 4 lbs from the end of '12 puts things in perspective a bit

[sneaky_flute]

why do athletes lie about their height? mike trout is 5'8'' at most

I'd like to see AngelsWin.com members weigh in on Trout's weight. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I weigh less than Trout.  Woohoo!!!!  Diet over!!!

[Chris]

We'll have to replace blimp Trout with Brian Urlacher Trout.

[happybat4]

What a fatty!

[CaliAngel]

So basically his weight has been a non story since the beginning. 

 

Good work, gumshoes.

I don't get it either. 

 

There was an article up yesterday that said the only people interested in this is bloggers and OC/SoCal social media.

threads about trout's weight make me miss the mathis/napoli threads

[LetsGoHalos]

Quite amazing how much of an issue the media and people are making it out to be. Saw a post from Trout's girlfriend saying she was sick of seeing the negativity about it. Let's not give the guy a reason to play for another team when he's available for free agency.

[Stradling]

No offense but if he makes a decision of where to play based on what idoits say on a message board then I have no idea where he should play, because every team has a fan website, many with more idoits than we have. That being said the jokes about his weight have never been funny.

[nando714]

Hopefully he was hitting the iron

[Chimi]

If he hits 30+ HR again this year (which I think he will), no one will care about what his weight is.

[WallyWorld]

what's crazy is that it was a front page story on ESPN for a while yesterday.

[Tferreri]

Look at my profile picture.  He is NOT 5'8".  I'd say he is 5'11- 6'0

Excellent post, "Gumshoes" is one of those words I never tire of.

I am concerned to be frank about it.  Many times a great players turns mediocre because he lets himself get out of condition.  Now  I am not saying that is whats going to happen to Mike, but its possible.  Players work their butt off to make it to the top.  Once they get there, they may tend to let things slip as now they have the "good things" in life.....wealth and fame.  

 

I hope that isn't whats happening to Trout.

shit, if he is sick of Angel fans God help him if he becomes a Yankee and comes into camp 10 pounds over weight.

[Wallerrrr]

dude, 4 lbs heavier then the end of last season.

 

thats like one solid "morning dump" then he is back to norm

[Brent Maguire]

I was never concerned about his weight. He was skinnier last year because he got the flu early in Spring Training and never really put the weight back on. I don't see an issue if he's playing 5-10 pounds heavier, especially when it's most likely added muscle.

[David]

If Trout is only up 4lbs from the end of last season then he is right were he needs to be. No worries.

I just put my laptop down on the floor to check in the pan between my legs....yep, you're about right Waller.....

[Brandon]

The guy just turned 21 and looks more solid than pudgy. If he was in his 30's and came into camp heavier than you can be concerned, but not some kid still growing and filling out.

It's not just Angels fan boards talking about this either. I think a lot of it is driven by people who are into fantasy, and since Trout is a common early draft pick speculation on stuff like weight, and implications on his future numbers are being discussed to death.
