These figures are good from 1901-2010. Notice the hated Dodgers fat failure Jonathon Broxton is #2 on the list...weighing in at a lean 295. Notice also, that of the top ten, everybody but Jumbo Brown is either a current player or has played in the last decade..

No Giants, though Pablo was reportedly in the 270 or so range before he lost 38 lbs during this past offseason..

[Upton]

4. The list is based on stats from Baseball Reference..

and they have Fielder at 270 lbs..

13. He's heavy, but not tall for a baseball player

He's either 5'9 or 5'10, so he likely is in the 250-270 range at best.

14. Forget about Prince. No Cecil Fielder?

3. What if we just weighed their heads?

B-)

[Upton]

5. 1988..

[Iggo]

8. +

7. There's a reason why people I know call Sabbathia..

Captain Cheeseburger.....I did not realize Adam Dunn was that big...He's never struck me as fat..just as a very big, muscular guy.I wonder if shedding weight would improve his gawd awful defensive skills

15. CCS lost weight

I heard CC Sabathia say he's now down to his official weight -- so he was probably around 315-320 in recent years.

Wonder where Joba stands right now?

9. Surprised at Rauch-no idea he was that heavy.

[hughee99]

10. I think he's 6'11"

That's probably a big factor, because he's not an "out-of-shape" guy.

[Kingofalldems]

11. When he was here he was definitely not fat

must be the height.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Are any of these guys in Cooperstown?

Also, who had more stolen bases: Ricky Henderson or all ten of the named players put together?
