Friar Watch

Quoth P Mac:

“I was ticked off,” he said. “I didn’t try to gain weight, but I did.”

It’s called adulthood Paul, get used to it. It’s good to see P Mac taking his conditioning seriously. He knows this is his last shot with the Padres and he made a real effort to get in great shape.

Also, the article mentions Jim Edmonds went through an intense workout program this off season. I like it when guys do that, it adds to the spring optimism.

On the other hand, I’ve read that Maddux is sticking with his normal routine. The guy has been so consistent and injury free, there’s no reason to change now.
