El Niño de Grasa Missed The Memo

Via Anthony Rieber:

Much has been made of the Yankees’ improved fitness, and many players are in better shape (Bobby Abreu, Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Brian Bruney, to name a few). One player who apparently didn’t get the memo is reliever Jonathan Albaladejo, whom the Yankees got from Washington for Tyler Clippard. Albaladejo is listed at 6-5, 260 pounds but has what generously can be called a lumpy body. GM Brian Cashman, though, said Albaladejo is not out of shape as far as he’s concerned (appearances notwithstanding, apparently). “That’s the way he was when he came over from Washington,” Cashman said. “He’s a big boy.”

When asked about Cashman’s remark, Albaladejo, pictured below, had no comment.
