zamboni Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Guess when Boof got to camp all the other players could hardly recognize him- he lost 30 lbs in the offseason. I think Boof should be the ace for a season and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigging-matt Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I like boof. Did a great job two seasons ago, then last season kind of had a few problems. hopefully he can turn it around. I really like the way he goes after hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisosy11 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 BOOOOOF - hopefully he can keep it together and not wear out late in games...maybe the loss of weight will help towards his stamina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassNspear Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 i think hes going to have a great season. The man is commited to the game of baseball, any by getting into shape, is only going to help him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinkADunk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Loosing 30lbs will help his stamina. Hopefully he can keep the weight off as the season progresses - hard to do when you travel a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hills Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I ran into Boof a couple weeks ago at a baseball convention, and he probably lost more than that. He is thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisosy11 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I sure hope the loss of weights doesn't take away from his velocity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 According to today ST. Paul PP, he has added velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yes, hopefully Boof can regain the form he showed in the second half of 06. He was a solid starter usually good for 7 strong innings during that time. I like his stuff, he has a great curveball and throws fairly hard. He also seems to go right at hitters and when he is on, that's a good thing. He has high strikeout rates. Hopefully this weight loss helps him stay consistent and he can have a breakout year, cause if he doesn't, there are lots of young pitcher in our system right now that want a shot.

Dahitman44 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You have to root for a guy like Boof. I think he will become the pitcher he was meant to be.Like --4.15 ERA 14 wins and 170 Ks.That is not Santana-Like but very solid for any team's Number 3 starter -- maybe outside shot at 3.35 17 wins and 200 Ks -- certainly possible -- nice number 2 starter.He did tire a lot as he entered the third and fourth innings -- that boy can sweat with the best of them -- even in KC in April.
