Brewers Welcome Thinner Prince Fielder
Quote:

These days, the only thing big about Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder is his new contract. A trimmer Fielder, who inked a two-year, $18 million extension last month, concedes that he "clearly" packed on some extra pounds last year. He vowed to keep them off in 2009. "Unfortunately, I can get huge," Fielder said, cracking one of his big smiles. "I have to keep it in check." Brewers officials have made it clear to Fielder that he needs to manage his weight, and Fielder said he understands, especially given a new deal that will pay $6.5 million this season -- about 10 times his 2008 salary -- and $11.5 million next year. It's an investment, Fielder said, and he intends to do his part to make sure it pays dividends. Just don't ask how much weight Fielder has lost. "I don't like scales," Fielder said, chuckling. "Scales are not cool."

I'm glad he does not want to follow in his father's footsteps and eat himself out of shape.
