Default Bulk Pitchers

With the increasing invasion of analytics and shifts, the bullpen game has gained acceptance. Ideally I suppose a team should have 11 pitchers for a perfect bull pen game, one for each inning and a couple to fill in for those that cannot complete an inning, but that’s not feasible. So the bullpen game requires a pitcher who can pitch more than one inning, perhaps even three or four, so we need new jargon. Enter the bulk pitcher. Bulk can be defined by innings pitched or the length of his belt. This thread needs cards, so show us your bulk pitchers.
Also add a comment about their worthiness for the Hall of Flab.

I nominate Bartolo Colon to get the ball rolling.

Framber Valdez went 8 strong the other day, so it can still be done.

Here is Young Cy, listed at 5' 10" and 170, he looks heftier in this one...

Freddie Fitzsimmons. His unfortunate nickname says it all.

C. C. Sabathia was not known as a light weight in ballet slippers.

I always thought CC in the Yankee years looked like he was pitching in his pajamas.

He is quite the svelte figure today though.

He looks heftier in this one because that is Irv, not Cy.

By today's standards (at 6'4" 215 lbs.) his size is rather pedestrian. Maybe even svelte. But the Boys of Summer were much smaller back then, and he makes it into this tread on name alone...

Hefty lefties with an edge over weighty righties so far in nominations...
Much more "rangy" than "rotund," Warren Spahn must qualify by the "innings pitched" standard --
sixteen seasons 250+ IP, seven of 290+, twice with more than 300...

That card of the Reuschel brothers is great. There's a trivia question in those brothers (let's leave out the "heaviest pair of pitching brothers as an answer).

Broxton - not only did he save a few games, but he always saved a bit of room for dessert.

Joba Chamberlain. Baseball reference has him at 6'3" 245. I remember the Yankees had big issues with his weight early in his career.
