And that sacrifices range when you are really big.<br /><br />I read the Sox are asking him not to play in so much this year to try to recover some range. Bunting isn't a mainstay in the AL, so this might work; but it would be interesting to see if anyone tries to bunt for hits down the left side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-1958819859760325692016-02-22T14:29:55.271-08:002016-02-22T14:29:55.271-08:00As one Boston sportswriter said, the biggest probl...As one Boston sportswriter said, the biggest problem isn't Sandoval's weight but that he doesn't seem to give a damn. Numbers of Giants fans correctly reasoned that if he didn't keep fit and play with focus and intensity when he was moving towards free agency, he would abandon his effort grossly once he had a huge bankroll and a lengthy contract; and they--we--were glad to see him go. By now, if one is to judge by the latest MCC, he is so past, so gone, that in San Francisco, though not in Boston, he can appear in the rosy mist of nostalgia and selective recollection, to those moonstruck at a distance. That's how, as a Giants fan, I prefer him.campanarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-66450429119466595122016-02-22T12:09:53.388-08:002016-02-22T12:09:53.388-08:00Sandoval.

I really felt that what he'd said about he didn't need to watch his weight (or get into shape) until he was 30 just made him a major risk for any kind of big contract.
