southsider2k5 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 More at link... http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...-winter-routine CHICAGO -- When you are as thin as Chicago White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, you take 15 extra pounds any way you can get them. So while working with a personal trainer five days a week has been beneficial, he has tried other avenues as well. “I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I do have a soft spot for some Taco Bell and Five Guys,” Sale sheepishly admitted. “I guess those are my cheat stations.” Sale is hoping that some bulk on a frame that was listed at 6-foot-6, 180-pounds last season will help him get through the rigors of a long season. His 4.11 ERA in September was his highest of any month last season, as was his 1.457 WHIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle, blood, skin, tendon, bone. Everything else, passes right through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I wish I was getting paid to gain 15 pounds by eating Taco Bell & Five Guys. That would be the life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pumped. This is the time of the year when we get all the fluff articles...I have a feeling he will look just like he did last year, just like Bobby Jenks used to look the same after he lost 30 pounds every offseason.

SoxAce Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Hopefully he doesn't lose any velocity ala Chris Beck. I remember B-Mac gained weight to help with the long season too. Edited January 28, 2013 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6'6. Interestingly (or not), that puts him in the "normal" range on the BMI chart. I'm sure that chart is not calibrated for athletes, though.

witesoxfan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I am 5'10 and 181. I do not consider myself fat. I am not the bone thin kid I once was (5'10, 135), but that is ridiculous. He'll be 24 when the season starts, and I bet he's closer to 200 next year too. He's still going to be razor thin, but he'll continue to add weight as he ages.
