Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said he lost 10 to 15 pounds this winter, and has altered his nutrition to help keep the weight off. Molina believes that by increasing his fitness, he'll preserve his knee. That will keep him agile, keep him on the field and keep him playing toward one of his chief ambitions. He wants a Gold Glove.

He's a good catcher but still not exacly ahead of Russell personally- could be wrong though- I have hated watching that entire club since they stonewalled my guys 2 years ago at the series...

He is a better DEFENSIVE catcher than Martin, by far. He forced opposing managers to alter their gameplan on a regular basis. Offensively he is not in Martin's league, however.

Hmmmmmm? the nice thing about steroids is the weight comes off as fast as it goes on....I suspect there will be a lot of players dropping weight in the next few years...

15 years ago, I might've said, wow, his workout program must really be something. And wow, nutrition has come a long way, he stopped eating junk food, and the weight just came right off.

Now, diet, nutrition, and workouts are just covers for "I stopped juicing."

10-15 pounds in 4 months is nothing...he could take a big dump and lose half that....two road trips and that weight will be right back on...

Yadier is clearly superior to Martin defensively.....how the heck they awarded the gold glove to Martin is beyond me. Why would anyone think Molina has been juicing? He has no power whatsoever. Well except for that shot against the Mets in Game 7.

WOW....novel!!!!!! I'm glad to see at least one DR player sees the benefits to not ballooning up during the offseason and staying healthy. I have Bartolo Colon's number...wanna call him?
