While it's not extremely important, it can be a good thing. While i dont know if he's the 225 he's listed at, he was only about 190 when he was drafted. That extra bulk can be beneficial on the field. It's helping him park more balls in the seats this year. Different positions of course, but you look at someone like Detwiler who hasn't added extra weight to be more durable or pick up some velo, and he hasn't progressed quite as we had hoped.

he definitely stands out at Potomac.  The last time I was there was when Zimmerman rehabbed and Hood was the only guy who physically wasn't overshadowed by Zimm.
