Why haven't any of the beat writers knocked on his weight? Honest question. While he's still very young, he's showing me he doesn't have any desire to be great. Expect a very good early career projectory, and a fall off after 6 years when it starts to take it's toll. Will he also ever hit his ceiling? Probably not. Disappointing as a fan, but all the Jays can do is bring in some mentor who he admires, to work with him on eating better.

Nobody’s giving this guy $200M either. If he continues to swell at this rate, he’s going to be out of the league in 3 years.
He’s too heavy to move himself around properly. That’s why he can’t catch up to these fastballs, because he’s too bloody big.
The whole 1B experiment is a charade to facilitate his move to permanent DH because he can only waddle around a diamond.
