For football fans out there, Denver Broncos DE Elvis Dumervil is 5'11" 260 pounds. Start your comparions there.

Terrence Taylor is 6' 318 pounds and he has a body type that is much closer to Prince than Dumervil does.

 

This is Dumervil with his shirt off

Now I've never seen Prince topless, but I'd guess he'd look a bit different.

 

This is Terrence Taylor

make that 1.5 back.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

If Prince cost himself $5 million in August and early September, he's earned at least $3 million of it back in the last week. It's the end of the season and he's been one of the few Brewers who looks inspired instead of tired and out of shape.

I don't care what anyone says, Prince is EASILY three bills. I also could care less about what his OPS is, when is the last time he has gotten a clutch hit in a big situation (e.g. not down 8-1 or up 6-0). He seriously needs to lose the attitude and about 40 pounds or he will not be an effective player in this league anymore by the time he's 30. Dude literally and figuratively "got fat and lazy" after his big season last year.
Now THAT was a clutch hit. Prince has been making me eat my words since I made this post and I couldn't be happier.

I wish this situation could serve as an example of why you shouldn't jump to conclusions in baseball based on a quarter or even half a season. It's a very streaky sport by its nature. While it is very reasonable to suggest that Princes's weight is and will continue to have some unknown negative effect on his offensive performance, that's about all you can really say. Everything else is really just speculation.

Didn't see as much jiggle as I expected when Prince's shirt came up. Must have more of a tank than a pudge midsection.
Yeah, but I really didn't need to see this picture in the paper this morning:

I'm happy Prince has turned his hitting around when we've needed it the most, and if he is a major reason we squeak into the playoffs, then I will happily eat most of my recent negative words about him. I still think he needs to get a personal trainer and be on a strict diet in the offseason to get back down to how he looked 2 years ago.

I like the caption on this picture. It sure looks like the ball is behind him. However, as I look closer, it appears it might be something that reflecting from the crowd. Like a camera flash or something.
