Phil Nevin - 30 pounds lighter

[btown]

Don't know if anyone has seen this.....

News
ESPN’s Peter Gammons reports that Padres first baseman Phil Nevin has lost 30 pounds this offseason through yoga, pilates, and workouts, and appears to be in tremendous shape.

Nevin has missed 158 games over the last two seasons due to injury, but fantasy players who recall his 2001 season when he batted .306 with 41 home runs and 126 RBI are hoping for a big comeback. The news that he’s in such great shape will serve to embolden those who have slapped the “sleeper” tag on him.

It would be nice if he can make it the complete year.

Hopefully he doesn't lose too much power, if any. But usually athletes who lose weight don't lose muscle, they lose fat. Unless he was on one of those no carb diets or something, this is a good thing.

yeah, i think its a good thing. he is a major sleeper

[Andy1234]

This should make him less injury prone, If he can put together a full season-Watch Out

[trevisc]

as long as he doesn't pop out his shoulder diving for a fly ball he should be alright!

i'll keep an eye out for him

Hey just checkin that wasn't him getting out of the limo with Anna Nicole in her weight loss commercial was it?? ......................................................................................................................It's a joke

didn't javy loose like 30 pounds before last season. They said he was in the best shape of his career and um wut happen last season for javy?

oh ya career year.

just a thought on nevin's sleeper potential

[gypsyspot]

He needs to stay healthy, but 30 pounds seems like a lot. I think he might play more games, but I think he will lose a little power.
