Armando Benitez arrived in Scottsdale for camp early with a good attitude and a little heavier. In an interview with KNBR on Wednesday, Bruce Bochy reported Benitez was "a couple, a few pounds overweight," a discouraging report since the pitcher was supposed to be getting in shape over the winter to take pressure off his knee. Groeschner downplayed Benitez's weight, however. "I'd say he's about the same as he was," the trainer said. "Obviously, I don't think it's a secret we'd like him to drop a few pounds. He's working on it. We're pushing nutrition on him. It's not easy, lifestyle changes. Obviously, due to his injuries there are lots of challenges for his conditioning, so we're trying other things." |
