Who are the heaviest players in MLB?

[sportsmonitor]

Just trying to gather some information on a few of the heaviest MLB players that played after 1960 that are not pitchers. Kruk, Puckett, & F. Thomas would be an example. Can anyone think of other successful heavy hitters??

 

[lander]

Mo Vaughn
Cecil Fielder

 

[Journeyman]

Frank Howard...Height 6' 7", Weight 255 lb.

Boog!!!!

David Ortiz ain't exactly Twiggy.

The Orioles had a player named Calvin Pickering , he was a whopper about 285...

 

[JudgeWapner]

And he sucked!

 

[BoZZi]

the big cat was pretty big

Ah yes, who could forget Boog Powell.

I see Pickering is now listed at 265 lbs. hitting .332 and leading AAA with 28 HR's.
Not too shabby.

B Molina... certainly slow !

 

[JohnnyDeMarco]

Willie Horton
Gates Brown
Lance Parrish
Carlton Fisk
Brian Downing
Steve Balboni

to name a few over 240

JD I had thought of both Horton and Gates Brown....I went back and noticed neither were that large...when i was a kid they seemed huge...I think Horton was like 200 lbs, Gates was like 5-11 220...

Greg Luzinski got rather tubby in his White Sox years...

Big Daddy Rick Rueschel, 6-3 240ish...

Sid Fernandez was near 300 lbs I think...he went on a diet and lost his fastball and was done...

 

[sportsmonitor]

Fisk was also only listed at 220 lbs.

When I read the title I thought the thread was about who played MLB for large amounts.

Brian Downing was a roid popper if there ever was one..

Listed at 5'10" 194 LB!

 

[Journeyman]

I think JD was going on estimates...Downing wasn't that tall, had large arms and really wasn't as big as he seemed at the time...He and Lance parrish were two of the original weightlifters...It turned Downing into a solid player for 5-6 good years...Even shifting to left field after catching..79 Angels
