Oh shit. Something positive
Best shape of his life
Just stay healthy
Good for him. Maybe he can run the bases without getting hurt. Otherwise I don’t care if my DH is fat. Which is the only spot he should be in going forward
Gonna look so lean riding that bench waiting for his next DH opportunity
Hoping if he plays the OF he’ll show some hustle this season. I was constantly aggravated last season when the ball would drop 5 feet in front of him bc he would lightly jog towards the fly ball.
This is him showing some maturity imo which is nice to see
That’s great to hear, but hope he DHs majority of the time & rarely plays outfield
The (Slightly Less) Big Baby
STAY OUT OF LF!
I’m glad he’s been counting his macros, tho. Happy Eloy is good Eloy.
The thing with him is, he’s never been slow. He can actually sprint to first pretty quick. Problem is the guy falls apart stepping on a base
He’ll play 89 games
Still going to look like a giraffe running around the bases
Queue the “best shape of my life” trope before he breaks a leg or something else stupid this year.
Eloy has very easy natural power. Even before he fully bulked up, he was slugging a ton in the minors. I’m glad he isn’t heading towards or relying on that ‘hefty slugger’ archetype, he can clear the walls without the extra weight.
Still will find a way to miss half the season by doing dumb shit
That’s exactly what we’re looking for from our DH, now hide his glove.
I don’t think his problem was weight
put that man in CF
Ah, best shape of your life stories….I want Leury to show up Kruk sized and say “maybe this’ll work?”
Good start
He’s listed at 6’4” 240lbs, if he’s down to ~215 that’s pretty slim tbh.
All I hear is, “so I’ll be running faster when I hit the wall”
Slim Baby
lmao how many days into spring training before he injures himself.
How long until he’s hurt long term?
This is optimistic news
Imagine getting a full season from him AND Luis Robert.
