Title: Paulino eats a salad
Post by: GreatBagwellsBeard on December 21, 2009, 03:50:40 pm: After reportedly weighing 271 at the end of the season, he's on the Quintero Diet this offseason (http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091221&content_id=7836700&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou). Q did seem to get quicker behind the dish after he lost all that weight, so hopefully Felipe will see some benefits too. If nothing else, it should help with stamina late in games. No word on whether the trainer has taught him a changeup.

Hey, don't knock it. The young man is making an effort to improve and working hard at it. He could give this team a huge boost if it helps elevate his game.

It's the Astros; everyone has (a) ranch.

180 lbs? Is that how much an albatross weighs?

Very well played, sir.

players who participated in the conditioning workouts, including Hunter Pence, J.R. Towles, Michael Bourn, Wandy Rodriguez and Jason Bourgeois and Minor Leaguers Koby Clement and Ross Seaton.

I'm happy to see Pence and Bourn in that list. Neither one has any weight to lose and both have established themselves as major leaguers so it is great to see their commitment.

I wonder if we'll see a slimmer Wandy in February.

I thought it was Clemmons...

Post by: OregonStrosFan on December 22, 2009, 09:09:59 pm: The 6-foot-3 Paulino was listed at 180 pounds in the Astros' 2009 media guide and was listed at a more accurate 271 pounds in the postseason wrap-up guide.

I knew not to trust media guides, but a 91 pound difference between listed weight and actual weight? Ridiculous.

Yeah. Translating for "media guide height," I'm guessing Bagwell was actually 5'9", and Biggio was one midget standing on another's shoulders.
