Sidney Ponson wants you to stop calling him fat. Would you call David Wells fat?
Yeah?
Me too.
Sir Sidney is trying to become the 5th starter for the Twins this spring and we can’t wait to see how this ends. Will he be released during the first round of cuts in March or will he make it to Opening Day?
Pitching coach Rick Anderson has been asked to work miracles over the last few seasons, particularly when it comes to guys like Dennis Reyes and Carlos Silva. But does anyone really think Ponson can rebound and get back to somewhat respectable shape, both in terms of his pitching and his belly?
Ponson won 17 games with the Orioles in 2003 and there really is no risk in sending him out there to see what he can do in Fort Myers.
However, in addition to not being able to get anybody out over the last few years, Ponson has shown a bit of a wild side off the diamond as well. While he says he doesn’t want to dwell on his scuffles with the law, it’s kind of hard to overlook the two drunken driving arrests in the last four years and his knock out punch of a judge in Aruba.
Why would we dwell on that?
Sounds like he should be playing offensive tackle for the Vikings instead of trying to make the Twins roster.
Yeah?
Me too.
