Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Okay, this probably doesn't deserve a fanshot, and might fall into the fanshot spamming category, but I'm just perplexed. I didn't even read the article, I got as far as "After finishing the 2009 season weighing 288 pounds" and my mind was f**ked.

He's a BIG boy.

Not surprising his foot arch collapsed.

I’m just thankful he is not in the same team as Livan.

you know what I'm sayin' ?

Of non-Mets

Blanks might be my favorite player.

Makes me wonder: Who's the heaviest guy on the Mets?

We're still paying Bonilla.

I’ll bet he’s put on some pounds since retirement.

according to wikipedia he's 230

and wikipedia don’t lie, which seems pretty light, for a guy who’s 6-7. But I can’t off-hand think of anyone on the team who looks like he’d weigh more. Maybe the new jacked up D-wright does.

Although according to yahoo sports Rod Barajas is 250, Sean Green is 235 and Kelvim Escobar is 230.

Moviel at 6-11 has to have some weight.

Only 235 according to wikipedia

but seriously, what @ an outfielder weighing 288. Who let this kid play baseball, someone should have bought him some football pads.

i'm pretty surprised

with his size and weight, he’s not bad at all playing in left field.

by clip on Feb 28, 2010 11:16 AM EST up reply actions  

Momentum.

He shifts which direction he’s moving in, thrusts his fatness in that direction, and bam, he’s booking.

He's only played at a small sample size

apparently he only played left field twice before in his career before they called him up, he came up as a first basemen, but he can hit and was already on the team so they just decided to throw him in lf.

Davidoff said Wright looks thinner

So I think he’s just ridiculously cut.

by SuperT on Feb 27, 2010 12:57 PM EST up reply actions  

At least Blanks is 6'6" to offset it somewhat

Prince Fielder is only 6"0", but he still tips the scales at 268

Wait Bengie Molina plays left field for the Padres?

When did this happen?

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
