08:13 AM ET 03.19 | Manager Bruce Bochy said on Monday that Pablo Sandoval's diagnosis is ulnar neuritis, an inflammation of the nerve that runs through the elbow. I'm told that over the next few days Sandoval will rest and get treatment, which is not the worst thing for the third baseman. He has played so much recently, in Venezeula and the World Baseball Classic, that he does not really need a lot of at-bats or time at third base ahead of the regular season, which begins in two weeks. Sandoval was scratched from Sunday's game because of soreness in the elbow and tingling in his fingers, a day after he first felt something while making a throw to second base.

I thought this guy was gonna be a big star when he first hit the scene. But, it appears one setback, or another, always keeps him from being an impact player.

Yeah, being a big tub of goo is kind of a problem for a position player.

I've heard this condition can be a result of raising a fork too many times in a short period of time.

It hinders Panda.
Don't worry kids, he still collects millioms while he doesn't play.

This guy must not really care about getting an $80M to $100M contract. I think he has the talent within him to be a major star. But he lacks dedication and drive and won't keep himself in prime playing shape. He'd rather eat and eat and eat and try to play at 30 to 40 pounds overweight. He was in better shape in 2011 and look at the numbers he put up. .315 BA, .909 OPS. Those are the numbers that bring big money.

Being fat isn't what hampers Panda. He actually plays better when he's a little chunky. What has hampered Panda are hand injuries. He has broken the hamate bone in each hand, one in 2011 and one in 2012. He lost about a month and a half each time. Ask Justin Verlander how being fat has hurt Sandoval.
