Vegas, I don't know about you, but I'm not strong enough to break my ribs by swinging a bat.
Btw, avoiding the weight room allowed me to play little league right thru Kiwanis baseball w/o missing a game due to injury.
The Sox put a lot of weight on both Mayer and Anthony coming into this season. It appears one can't carry this weight and the other is too fragile to carry any weight.
