This just in. Andruw Jones is Fat.

"Andruw Jones looks heavy. The newest Dodger centerfielder looks like the newest Dodgers wrestler," wrote Bill Plaschke in the LA Times."

Jones weighs 245 pounds, supposedly only 10 more than he weighed at his peak. At the beginning of last season, Jones dropped 15 pounds and played most of the season at 230 pounds, though judging by his belly that’s hard to believe. Jones said losing the weight actually hurt his power. So he decided to take the Boris Diaw challenge and hit the buffet.

"I ate what I wanted, I did what I wanted," Jones said of his winter. "I tried to get back to normal."

And now, whalaa. Jones may need to a bring a folding chair into the outfield to take breaks between pitches and the nachos guy in center field will have a little further to walk.

So this brings me to that 50 million pound challenge you’ve been seeing on commercials. I’m only inviting several athletes, who could take the challenge all by themselves.

Gilbert Brown:

The man did not have a neck. Instead, he had 12 chins. If you combine all the chins together you can make a neck. His body was just confused. He may be able to lose about half of the 50 million all by himself.

Post Seattle Shawn Kemp:

You would have thought he was the one having all those kids and not the baby’s mamas. The only thing stopping Kemp from procreating was a double cheeseburger.

Robert Traylor/Mike Sweetney:

The tractor was a good nickname for Traylor because he was that slow. Sweetney’s last name said it all. The man liked his sweets. At least Sweetney wasn’t traded for Dirk Nowitzki. So he has that going for him.

John Daly

I thought chain smoking would make you lose weight. I guess the beer more then compensates.

David Wells/John Kruk

Kruk once bought hot dogs during a game. He’s unofficially the fattest player in the history of the Phillies. Don’t be fooled by the Nutrisystem commercials. The great thing about Wells is that if someone hits a comebacker, it may get lost in his blubber.

Honorable mention: Prince Fielder (but he no longer eats meat.)
