Generally Managing Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you had to choose five active players in the MLB who you suspect of taking steroids who have not come out yet, who would they be? I know this could be a very inflammatory subject and it is not exactly what I like to think about with baseball around the corner, but I'm curious to see what people think.1. Andruw Jones2. Troy Glaus3. Adrian Beltre4. Jermaine Dye... and ...5. David Ortiz I can't be bias here, I know Ortiz was an enigma when he showed up in Boston. I don't really think so, but I would not be surprised.

speedy Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I wouldn't be shocked about Ortiz, of course I'm not really shocked about anyone anymore so take that for what it's worth. But I think if anyone took them on the Sox it was Tek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Travis Hafner, Jim Thome, Albert Pujols. Those are just off the top of my head. I may add more later. It would really suck to see Pujols' name come up but I wouldn't be that shocked if it did. Hafner is so obvious it's not funny. The dude was tearing the cover off the ball. Then the testing got tougher and all of a sudden he's a .250 hitter. All you need to do with Thome is look at pictures of him when he first came up with The Indians.

patsox Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have a new feeling about performance enhancers in baseball. I have no problem with them at all. Cheating in one way or another has always been part of the game and baseball has embraced that fact. I think they should punish people who cheat, but if you find a way around the system by all means cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HedleyLamarr Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Whoever's mentioned players that have gotten better the past couple seasons (Ryan Howard, Matt Holliday, etc.) is foolish to believe that. Most likely, these guys were big names in 2004-05, then have gotten worse/injured the past couple seasons, now that there's testing/suspensions in place.Eric Gagne is a prime example of this.
