Is he holding a dead rabbit that he squished with his bare hands?

It's probably his good luck charm, and he named it Jobu

Nope. Full grown kangaroo.

I saw him at the AFL a few years back and he has transformed into a different person. HGH can do wonders.

Nope. The ladies dig a guy with a soft side, so it is the stuffed animal he sleeps with.

One thing it apparently can't do: give you an OBP over .315

dudes gonna be under a huge microscope looking like that.. wonder how many piss tests he's gonna have to take during the year?

I don't know that bulking up will help his defense. I hope that it does. For the number of AB's that he's had as a pro he has done very well. He would have to be very dense to use hgh or any other substance considering how often they are tested.

There's HUGE money to be made in performance-enhancing drugs, therefore, the makers will always be one step ahead of the testers. Producing is proactive, testing is reactive. A test cannot be created for drugs or masking agents that the testers are unaware even exist.

Sawks fan should know.

Bulking up doesn't make him a better hitter. In fact, it might transform him into a different kind of hitter. Good or bad.

How often does the MLB do testing during the offseason?

When I saw this thread a while back I wondered how Thames musculature affected his playing. Fast forward to this morning, I was reading the Blue Jays team report, and saw this bullet:

OF Eric Thames, who will compete with OF Travis Snider for the starting job in left field, spent the winter trying to improve his throwing. “It was just a case of me looking in the mirror and asking myself what I really need to work on so that I can leave no doubt and no regrets,” Thames said. “I actually used to throw harder in high school than I do now. As I got bigger, my arm got tighter so I didn’t have that whip. I’ve always been a little frustrated when you see a guy like (White Sox LHP) Chris Sale, just a little skinny guy who throws 100 (mph). If you look at pictures, you can see how far back behind his shoulder the ball is to get that whip effect. So that’s what I’ve been doing, trying to use those pitching mechanics to try get that whip effect. I’m seeing a huge difference in combination with those mechanics and by laying off my chest exercises. I haven’t done any chest work in about eight months because the tighter I get, I’m always pulling off the ball. Also, that tight chest affects my swing and it starts to get really long and my arms can’t get down where they need to be.”

Thanks for answering my questions, Mr. Thames

HGH alone would not do that. My uncle coached him in AA, I saw him a lot in street clothes and he was pretty jacked then as well.

Wow, Braun took the subtle approach. This guys just asking for trouble

 

[Keyser Soze]

He looks like a little sissy-boy compared to Laron Landry
