SCOTTSDALE - The Giants head into camp with some big question marks and bigger belts. Pablo Sandoval, one of the largest personalities on the Giants, has come into camp determined to make his weight a non issue. The Giants decided the best way to do that was to sign the actor who inspired the fun loving nickname given to "The Kung-Fu Panda."
Jack Black will be in Scottsdale this Spring trying to make the Giants 25 man Opening Day Roster.
"We looked at all the factors that went into Pablo's weight problems and determined the number one reason was his efforts to live up to the cartoon character." a source said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "If Pablo can see that the Kung-Fu Panda character is not real and is really just a fat actor with no baseball talents, we think he can focus on staying in shape."
The Giants are hoping the complete lack of baseball talent Black has will motivate the 3rd baseman to play at the near All-Star level he achieved in 2009. If the Giants pull this off, they can say a big "Sqaudoosh" to Pablo's waistline.
