08:02 AM ET 02.14 | An old theme has resurfaced in Scottsdale for third baseman Pablo Sandoval. [Sandoval] is still battling a respiratory ailment and isn't completely over the intestinal distress that necessitated a trip to the hospital in Venezuela last month. But he took grounders as part of a scaled-down infield workout on a back field Wednesday, and he'll be working as hard as anyone in Giants camp this spring. Yes, the Panda does need to shed a few pounds. "You go back to 2011 and he showed up in as good a shape as I've seen him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "Not long ago, guys used spring training to get in shape. They had other jobs in the offseason. Pablo's one of our exceptions now. We'll use the spring to get him in shape."

wiseup: Sandaval plays pretty well as he is. He hits well with power and produces runs. He is what he is. If he can shed some weight great. I don't see Bochy benching him or releasing him. He also holds his own defensively at third.

Actually his two best years came when he was in much better shape. He has eaten his way out of the starting lineup a couple of times. The guy is going to eat his way into a contract paying out $30M-$40M less than it could have been.
