35 pounds over the winter? How juiced is he? The 50-game suspension can't be far away.

ITEM
Mariners shortstop prospect Nick Franklin has bulked up by adding an additional 35 pounds this offseason.
Spin: Franklin reported to camp last year at 6'1 and 180 pounds, and the organization wanted him to bulk up over the winter. He hit .287/.358/.430 with six homers and 16 steals across three levels in 2012, and could see significant time with the Mariners in 2013 with only Robert Andino blocking his path.
WINNER
Riptorns. Plan to retain minor leaguers instead of overpaid, overstuffed veterans gets major boost with rising star Nick Franklin (5-R), sure to be key cog in Mariners wheel of fortune.
LOSER
Red Hots. Will have to be satisfied with keeping only Ackley as Andino has no future in Seattle's keystone combo.
