Sexiest Man In Baseball

If you're gonna compare Gil Brandt to whatever mook hangs out with Levrone....well..you better stay out of Texas.  That said...I understand that hand timed 40's aren't relaible.  But damn...Gibby was on fast white boiy.  Once saw him score from first on a hit and run single

lol are you in Austin? Ima be there in a few weeks staying with this chick and I might need a place to crash if this chick's baby daddy shows up

anyone in TX lmk

[Coach is Back!]

If S&C coaches would train their baseball players like athletes instead of delicate little flowers, there might not be any PED controversy in the MLB. There, I said it!

I've heard that criticism re NFL SC coaches too...they don't train anywhere close to max.  But...do you want to be the guy who tells Ron Washington that you injured Josh Hamilton during conditioning?  You want to tell Jim Schwartz tht you blew out Suh's knee doing power cleans with 405?

Of course not, but there is a progression that begins in the offseason and if the program is right there should be no reason to worry. If a team S&C coach is worried about injuring a player in the weight room then he has no business being an S&C coach. As far as cleans....1. they're overrated (although we do them) and 2..I NEVER do a max on a PC, snatch or C&J.

Yeah...I agree..there's a difference between challenging and reckless.  But with jobs at that level being few and far between, there's a real incentive to play it safe.

The A's signed some pro sprinter in the '70s to be a full-time designated runner (he never played in the field).  I don't think he did very well, even stealing bases.

Herb Washington wasn't it? Sprinter from Mississippi...

one of the fastest players I have seen in person was Dodger's outfielder Matt Kemp. Never seen a guy so big get out of the box so fast in my life, dude's a freak.

And a lot of baseball players will take themselves out of action just over a sore muscle.
