Probably because I mentioned my own weight and called Vigelbach fat while discussing the larger problem.
Being fat isn't a deal breaker to me by itself. Being fat AND uncoordinated I'd a deal breaker. His hand eye coordination is outstanding, but he doesn't know where his feet/legs are...it's often like they have wills of their own. It's...really glaring.
Notably, if Z had landed fielder, it would have been a disaster for the franchise. He washed out within three years, specifically because he got too heavy for his body to withstand the game.
Ruth did have a belly...but I don't so much care about that if he can still get to first in four seconds and catch the fliners in the outfield. Statistically speaking. Ruth was an above average fielder and baserunner well into his career.
