Bryant getting progressively more frustrated that he can't hit a BP curve ball is fantastic.

That just makes me think Maddux could have hung on if he'd wanted to as a middle reliever.

Also if that were a real Greg Maddux prank he would have rear ended Bryants Rental Car and spit tobacco all over him afterwords.

I like how Bryant didn't even want to let him throw at first and then like two seconds later 'this sound guy's got a pretty good curve.'

Carter was just too cheap to pass up, I think. I would imagine they wouldn't have bothered with Holliday if they had known the slugger market was going to completely bottom out like this.

I foresee some pitching heavy team around the all Star break needing hitting and Cashman dumps Carter on them for two AA relief prospects

Not generally a problem in baseball but it can work the other way too for guys who aren't naturally big but play sports where being big is important. Nick Hardwick is one of the more striking examples, he went from this:  to this in like 7 freaking months:

I've read interviews with football players saying that they really don't enjoy food any more because they've got to eat so much and so often to maintain that size. Couple that with an athlete's metabolism and you can see how guys can shrink down once they no longer have to put themselves through 8 meals a day of steak and chicken breasts and 12-egg omelettes.
