Because Thin Air Is Good For You!
A war of words, well, if we really want to call it that, has taken place between Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd and pitcher Jhoulys Chacin, the team's No. 1 starter. O'Dowd has questioned Chacin's work ethic and conditioning, even claiming the pitcher has been overweight.
Over at Purple Row, we learn that Chacin believes O'Dowd isn't getting reliable information:
"I came to Arizona this past Monday. I have not stopped training during the winter, both in my country and here. I have always done the best job I could all throughout these past few months," Chacin said. "I don't know where these comments came from, I believe they're the result of what other people have told him, instead of his own personal evaluation".
Head over there for the full article to learn how Chacin refutes much of what Dan O'Dowd has publicly said of late about the pitcher.
