The Associated Press’ Rob Maaddi reports Philadelphia Phillies SP Roy Halladay has been working out for the last two months at the team’s spring training facility in Clearwater, Fla. His workout regimen, which he picked up from former Toronto Blue Jays SPs Roger Clemens and Pat Hentgen, consists of lots of running, stretching and exercising to strengthen his arm, legs and core. “He comes in here and he’s always doing something,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “He never sits still. He talks to you very short and then says he has to go running or whatever. He definitely has a routine and a program and he’s going to stay on that. Nothing is going to get in his way. That’s a commitment every day and that’s good.” Halladay said several players at spring training camp have started arriving at the ballpark early in an attempt to keep up with his workout routine.
Our Instinct: There’s no coincidence between Halladay throwing 220+ innings for the past 4 years and his conditioning. He’s 130-59 since 2002 and has been an elite fantasy option. Imagine what he can do when his team does not face the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays 54 times a year? Yeah, we like it too.
