You are missing the point. The easiest way to illustrate it is to look at pitchers. Pitchers come in all shapes and sizes. There are fat guys like Livan and Colon, athletic-looking guys, and little skinny guys like Wagner. The thing to remember is that just because a pitcher is fat it doesn't mean he can't be athletic. Livan can hit and makes some really impressive fielding plays.
