Morbid obesity = this off-season's #1 commodity?

Is it just me, or have many of this hot-stove season's hottest commodities been spending a little too much time at the buffet bar? All the M's need to sign this year's most Pickwickian free agent, Bartolo Colon, is 2yrs, $18mil., and a lifetime supply of glucometers and CPAP machines. It's like that scene in that Woody Harrelson movie about the Amish bowler ("Kingpin?") where said bowler walks into a tourney and, in awe of the elastic waist-banded professional bowlers surrounding him, he says, "It's so intimidating to be in the presence of so many great athletes," or something like that.
