I don't buy th a t Youk. It's not just hand - eye. It's balance, bat speed, moving your hips through the ball, squaring the shoulders up, powering off that back leg. It's very easy to see that his weight is having a MAJOR IMPACT on his body at 3rd. A 3rd baseman, & i've played a decent amount, but not for a long.... time, CAN'T withstand the stress that HIS tonage puts on the body at that position. How the hell do we think he injured that shoulder. Sleeping on it wrong? ??? Well, ok. Maybe? His weight IS higher than it was in SF. He is older. This is why he can't handle hitting along with the fielding. Sure. He still has a FEW cat like moves in him at this weight & age, but they quickly take a toll anymore.
His weight IS THE ISSUE! NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!
Plus.... it's just fun to call him fat. kidding
