scenario Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 09:25 AM) Man, he is a midget. Any video of Danks HR? 5'10" 190 is a midget? Not sure most people who see him on the field could tell the difference in size between CJ and either Jayson Nix or Lillibridge (both 5'11" and around 190). And fellow former SunDevil Dustin Pedroia is shorter than CJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fellow former SunDevil Dustin Pedroia is shorter than CJ. He does not look 5'10. He looks Pedroia-sized, I think that is a favorable listing, like CC's weight, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero percent chance that CJ is 5'10" He looks about 5'6" and yes that is a midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either like 5'10" 240 or 5'6-7" 190. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ was measured once while jumping and then that same measurement just transferred over. In that video he looks short and stocky IMO.

Exactly - its hilarious that people here, who have seen him in 1 video, think they know for sure that the guy is 6 or 7 inches shorter than his listed hight. Ridiculous.

Ridiculous. I assume you are referring to me, and I said he LOOKS that way. Why is that ridiculous? He looks like a midget in that video. Both the ump and the catcher most be way over 6 feet tall. And the opposing 2B is taller, and whoever hits behind him as well. Edited October 23, 2009 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) Your post: Right, based on the video. Why is that ridiculous? Watch the video, tell me he doesnt look more than 4 inches shorter than both the ump and the catcher and the guy who hits behind him. He also looks shorter than the 2B on the other team when rounding the bases. Are you guys upset that he may be shorter than he is listed or something? Plenty of short guys can play in the majors, its not a knock on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think its funny that you and other posters are so very, 100% sure, that he's not the height that he is listed at, based on one video.

Have you seen him in person, stood next to him or something, give me something of substance that tells me he is really 5'10" Because in that video he is the shortest guy on screen. Of course all the other players couldnt be 6'+. Maybe he is shrinking? Apparently he lost an inch between ASU and minor league ball, so maybe he is even smaller now.

Of course all the other players couldnt be 6'+. Maybe he is shrinking? Apparently he lost an inch between ASU and minor league ball, so maybe he is even smaller now. What I have is his official listed height in two places - 5'10" and 5'11". What you have is one video. I am not the one who needs to find something of substance. You really are missing my point though. Your hyperbole is what I found ridiculous. You said there was zero chance he was his listed height, even though you have never seen him other than one video.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wait a minute! Doesn't CJ have a family member here on the FutureSox forum? Let's get that person to settle all of this height stuff. And decide on a nickname. So far I like Macho Man the best, or if he's short then Lil' Macho Man will work.
