Do you have any opinions on players who lose a significant amount of weight?

Like Ryan Braun who came into the league at 6' 3" 190 lbs and by last year was considerably bulked up at around 230 for obvious reasons.

Or take a look at Giancarlo Stanton, listed at 6' 6", 240 lbs and probably well above that 2 years ago. But taking a look at him recently, his uniform is loose fitting and he looks much thiner.

Do you see any of that? Any other examples?

Update:

And Braun played this year until suspension looking skinny and with a drop off in power

    Josh Hamilton looks damn skinny and is hiding behind a full beard now as well.

    Not really. Sometimes Prince Fielder actually DOES weigh under 300.

    There are many reasons for a player to gain or lose weight that have absolutely NOTHING to do with PEDs.

  • And the Great Babe Ruth once weighed 180 lbs. at age 19. Big deal!
