What does an MLB player look like? Not that different then "normal" people.

This morning, by chance, I had the pleasure of seeing Scott Sizemore (Hickory HS, VCU, Detroit Tigers) work out. That "work" is what separates the men from the boys I suppose.

He did at least 45 minutes of speed training with Reed Kagan. Reed is the best of the best. You can find his info here... www.sportsperformanceplus.com . The amount of sweat pouring off of Scott told the entire story! After the speed work and a T-shirt change he moved on to hitting with Chris Gerrity (www.rbawest.net). At that point I left. He was following up his cage work with defensive drills and a trip to the gym to lift!

This is all on one of the coldest days in the month. Very cool to see him in action today. He and I played the same position (2B) in the same conference, yet we were light years apart.

On a separate note, I just read that the MLB league minimum went up to $414,000. Good work if you can get it.

The College Of William & Mary. But I'm slightly older and was "slightly" worse then him as a ball player.

I've known Scott and his family since he was in tee ball. Great guy and has always been a hard worker.

Could be worse. You could date back, like some of us, to W&M's days in the ECAC South!
