6' 190lbs Reggie Jackson
6' 2" 200lbs Jim Rice
6'6" 220lbs Dave Winfield
6'5" 230 lbs Dave Parker
6'7" 280 lbs Aaron Judge
And about fifty pounds of Reggie's weight was ego. That sixty-pound difference between Winfield and Judge is telling, tho. That's a lot of mass that he's starting and stopping over and over.
It is and it makes me think about how trainers try and make athletes into these finely tuned machines and like an expensive finely tuned machine they are great when they are working but a smaller problem can have a big impact.
I'd be happy to draft and develop a Frankenstein like Judge, but no way would I want to sign him long-term.
I just looked up Mike Trout—6'1", 230 lbs. He's seriously thick. Does his more normal height limit the injury potential or is he just a freak for being so healthy thus far?

Not surprising after NBA, NHL and MLS have all suspended their seasons:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Yeah, I would not be shocked. All the sports dominoes are falling. I know there are not a lot (if any other than me) racing fans around here, but a lot of events cancelled for this weekend. They even pulled the plug on the Australian Grand Prix which is a pretty big deal.
