Ian Kinsler Puts On Weight

Since the end of the 2006 season, Ian Kinsler has upped his weight 21 pounds, to 208, in hopes of increasing his endurance. After batting .320 with a .553 slugging percentage prior to the All-Star break as a rookie last season, Kinsler sported a .267 average and a .399 slugging mark in the second half. Only time will tell if the added weight will keep the 24-year-old second baseman from fading down the stretch in 2007.
