now batting fifth for the Nationals...it appears...a blimp

According to the Washington Post, the Nationals are both disappointed and understanding that Dmitri Young was unable to drop wait [sic] over the winter. Young, who was diagnosed with diabetes in 2006, says he's learned to eat right, but he still reported to camp at 298 pounds, up slightly from the end of last season. Because of all the weight he's carrying, he might be as much of a breakdown candidate as Nick Johnson. He's already dealing with a rib-cage strain that's cost him five days.

Rotoworld has him listed at 245. Ryan Howard is at 252...
