Will Red Sox win the World Series this year?
DUHH! They need to hustle/run in the field, pitchers need strong legs and agility, and they need quick swingshere is a quote by the great phllie first baseman and all around funny guy, john kruk. "i ain't an athlete lady, i'm a ball player."
but i think being a ball player takes a great deal of athletic abilities. 162 games a year is a great deal of stress to put on one's body. even when a guy might be slightly out of shape looking of overweight, he's still in better shape than 99% of regular joes

It depends what you mean by athlete. Some may not be the fastest players, but the skill level is really high. You must be able to read a 95 mph pitch in .4 seconds to see what kind of pitch it is, and then swing accurately to hit it. Harder than it looks.Where can I get a 2007 stealth baseball bat for under $100?

Maybe you should look at the very athletic outfielders before making that remark.Alright, there are guys like Youkilis in the league and a handful of other ones; David Wells and Big Papi come to mind, that are highly skilled overweight athletes. Most of the 750 players in the league are in top physical condition, though. You have to be to play 162 games a season.
Yes, they are, although some are clearly in not as good a shape as they could be. But then, some skills in baseball are things that some people with enormous athletic ability cannot do. I have seen some big strong guys who are terrible hitters because that is a skill they just don't have.
