just throwing speculation man, I mean i remember Ortiz sucked when he was on the twins and all of a sudden became a beast. After hearing Pujols name and such other big name hitters I want to see if they fell on this report. Im just worried what will happen now with these stars
Honestly, as far as the talent level, I think the drug use is so widespread that it won't really have an effect. The pitchers AND hitters are both doing it. What you might actually see is some mid-level clean guys become All Stars at the expense of "dirty" All Stars becoming mid-level guys.
It's on all the news channels except CNN, and FOX 5 has interrupted their regularly scheduled programs.
There's apparently a huge misconception about Ortiz. He didn't "suck" with the Twins. He hit 18 HR in about half a season then hit 20, .272, and slugged .500 the next year. He was 25 and 26 years old in those seasons. The problem was that he had nagging knee injuries due to the turf. Remember, George Steinbrenner wanted to sign him after his release, so he must not have been THAT bad. This is from SI:
Wow, granted quite a bit of this is going on the word of people during interviews, but he sounds like he has solid court-admissible evidence that damns people.
Pages and pages of checks to Radomski and fedex packages with MLB names on them at the end of the report.
He'd better have more than someone telling him that they saw someone doing them for every name on that list
O..o...sounds like Mitchell has no proof at all on Pettite and Clemens except the testimony of a guy being threatened with jail if he didn't cooperate. He want on to name all the different forms of proof he had from the Mets guy. Nothing for Clemens, Pettite and whoever the third guy is.
