I’m not sure that really has anything to do with his level of fitness.

and if we compile the WAR to see if our team would do very well…

Lineup 1:

Name: Position: (f)WAR
Fowler – CF 2.9
Heyward – RF 2.1
Longoria – 3B 2.4
Cabrera – DH 7.1
Teixera – 1B 2.9
Cespedes – LF 3.1
Martin – C 2.2
Lowrie – SS 2.5
Barney – 2B 2.5

S1: McCarthy 1.8
S2: Garcia 2.9
S3: Cecil .1
S4: Hughes 1.9
S5: Zambrano .8
CL: Wilson

43 wins is a replacement level team.
our starting lineup turns in 35.2 wins, so right now, we’re at 78 wins.

In hindsight, I should’ve taken Molina (6.5 WAR) over Martin, but I anticipated some regression from Molina.
Also, sliding in Lance Lynn (2.9) over Bret Cecil gives us 2.8 more. But you know. that’s life.

Also, clicking back through all those posts from Mid march was amusing. Remember when Miguel Cabrera broke is fricken face? Or the Rockies being relevent.

I got in good shape by running, cycling, swimming for distance and lifting weights.

Do not confuse that with actually being fast at any of those things, or being athletic at anything. I’m still a clumsy oaff. I’m just a clumsy oaff that doesn’t worry diabetes, heart diseas, or even the Dr yelling at me about my weight.

In fact, you set the bar so high it’s gonna’ be hard to top it in 2013!

I contend that his 2012 .291/.372/.405/.777 is good enough for IMPROVED: he’s just so BSHOL that it took him a full extra season to get used to it.

I was named “Comment of the Day” in May (http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/07/comment-of-the-day-if-youre-gonna-be-old-school-be-old-school/). I think I deserve an IMPROVED.
