A 30 year old puts on 20 pounds of muscle in four months?

:scratchchinhmm:

Let's hope Presley is just exaggerating a bit.

At Fanfest, Buck said that Nick usually starts the season around 210 lbs. and loses weight as he goes, finishing around 197. He said Nick was more like 220 coming into camp this year. So, 10 pounds bigger than normal, but 20+ bigger than at year-end.

I can see him putting on 20 pounds, some of which is muscle. That is perfectly reasonable.

To put on 20 pounds of muscle, in four months, at 30 years of age is ...unusual.

It is probably a case of Presley exaggerating.

As a point of comparison, Schoop put on 8-10.

Suk-Min Yoon is here at the Orioles complex and is awaiting final word on his physical. He was joined by agent, Tad Hun Yo, who is part of the Boras Corporation. Yoon did not want to speak publicly about the O’s until it’s official –especially given his Tweet in an Oriole hat that went viral– although there’s a press conference tentatively scheduled for Monday.

The hope is that Yoon can avoid having to go back to South Korea and just work out in Orioles camp, but there’s no decision on that just yet.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
