It’s no secret around these parts that I have long been a proponent of large-bodied baseball players who have one tool: hitting the crap out of the ball. Growing up in the early 90’s and watching highlights on Baseball Tonight of players like Cecil Fielder, John Kruk, Kevin Mitchell, and mid-to-late-career Tony Gwynn, I always found it fascinating that you could be in less-than-stellar physical shape and still be a professional baseball player as long as you could do at least one thing better than 98% of other humans. And that doesn’t even take into account large lad pitchers, who deserve their own post.
The Mariners just might give Rowdy Tellez a good number of at-bats and he’s going to make it everyone’s problem
