I don't think that an individual's percieved conditioning problems over the course of his rookie big league season (especially a rookie big league season in the bullpen) can really be construed as "not working hard." It is apparent that Eveland ran out of gas at the end of the year, but he pitched a lot this year, and he pitched in many pressure-packed situations on a pretty decent big league team. He was very likely mentally fatigued at the end of the season, and I'd guess much more mentally fatigued than physically fatigued. I'm not disputing that it is possible he may need to lose a few pounds, but to correlate that with "not working hard" is at best, a stretch. And I still have no idea where he's coming from with Hardy. Al is the first person I've heard that has insinuated that JJ is of weak mental fortitude.
