He is going to have to lose quite a bit of weight if he doesn’t want to embarrass himself trying to bend over and do other kinds of athletic endeavors in the field.

Kubel is a solid player, but not seeing them get Kuroda makes me happy. Horrible move by Arizona, less for the pointlessness than the likelihood it ends their pursuit of more arms.

When a sinkerball guy like Cahill is pitching, Kubel gets the nod in left. A flyball pitcher like Collmenter (if I remember correctly; I’m too lazy to look it up) let Parra run around out there.
