Tim Lincecum's metabolism just isn't want it used to be. San Francisco's stringbean-y Cy Young winner is hardly up there with big boys like Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols (except where salaries are concerned), but Lincecum claims his weight ballooned to almost 200 pounds at the start of the off-season. The Freak told reporters that he's never had an easy time putting on weight, even despite his notorious, monster In-N-Out order — three Double-Doubles, two orders of fries, and a chocolate-strawberry shake. Until last season. The pitcher responded to his newfound spare tire by reducing his In-N-Out visits to a bare minimum and cutting out McDonald's and Jack in the Box entirely. Now he swims a lot and eats healthy tacos at Tacolicious, and he's trimmed back down to a relatively svelte 175. Maybe some of Lincecum's fellow All-Stars should follow his good example: As Matthew Futterman pointed out in the Wall Street Journal last month, hefty players like Fielder, Pujols, and CC Sabathia might not be able to indulge in too much fast food and room service without winding up on the disabled list.
