I like this post. He is a long limbed athlete and there should be no question that adding some muscle would help him catch up with fastballs, guide the barrel of the bat to better contact, strike out less and come through the ball with more authority. To me it appears that his vision and pitch recognition are still elite. So, in a very non-attacking and respectful way, I pose the following question. What Joe is doing in the offseason now is getting him what he is currently getting from a productivity standpoint. What is the aversion to showing up at spring training with some extra muscle packed on to that lengthy frame? I want to assume, like many do, that he is willing to do everything in his power to be the best he can be. IMHO he brings a plethora of value to the team but I can't help but feel a little dissapointed that he doesn't add showing up looking jacked at spring training to his list of off season to do's.
