    Yeah, like right after he retired, he slimmed down to barely recognizeable.

    He had a heart problem -- blocked artery and an angioplasty -- and I suspect it scared the hell out of him.

    That’s awesome. Also an indicator that he is maintaining sobriety.

    Like he never retired. He was throwing softballs the last three years with the NYY.

    There’s a whole laundry list of guys we used to make fun of who would now be right at home in the big leagues.

    Russell Branyan, Matt Stairs, Rob Deer...

    Noted: Every other division leader would be in fourth place in the NL West right now.

    By all advanced metrics (which I don't understand well enough to explain), the AL East is by far the best top to bottom division.
