As Useful As Ever

For the past few seasons, Richard Hidalgo has been playing at a weight well above what it was when he had his "breakout" season in 2000 (and probably exceeding his 235 batting average last year). It has probably contributed to his lack of production since then, and certainly can't have helped his knee problems.

So, one might expect an article on his health at least to mention his weight.

But then, one wouldn't be familiar with our Comical if one expected to find such useful information.
