Yeah, the parasite thing was months ago, and I'm pretty sure he was at the winter weekend thing the Sox put on last month. Only caught some of the coverage from that event, but I vaguely remember him answering some questions about blah blah blah looking to seize an opportunity, but he looked fine. Not notable frail or anything, at least. I'd imagine he's around full strength at this point.

I imagine that it takes a lot longer for an elite athlete to recover from losing 25 pounds. I wouldn't just go by how he looks.

Not a big fan of a guy's weight fluctuating to that degree over the course of an offseason, at least. Maybe he'll be fine, but to bring up the Lavarnway example again, while he may not have panned out anyway, you can draw a pretty clear before/after line in his career that at least coincidentally coincides with the offseason he got his parasite.
To be very clear: I am not saying that Swihart is screwed. I'm just saying this isn't something to shrug off necessarily.
