JUPITER, Fla. _ It's not like the Cardinals suddenly have Bruce Banner in left field. Tyler O'Neill still has his "Incredible Hulk" features, notably the biceps as big as Festus.
But the Cardinals slugger has slimmed down some, from "205-210" pounds to "just under 200," he shared Wednesday on a walk to his car after a workout. He's making changes to his body he hopes will make changes to his body of work.
"The 205-210 was just a little bulky for me, which is what I realized," O'Neill said. "I'm feeling so much better than I have in the past. ... My body feels good, I feel more energetic, my swing feels better, everything's better for me, so I'm excited to utilize that and put it in play. I changed my diet, I really upped my veggie intakes, just laid off some red meats, different things like that. Focused more on eating good, clean foods, and not just throwing whatever I want in my body.
