I realize many enjoy pouncing on Arod, but this was the era of performance enhancers and many were doing it. Sad, but true!

Again....IMHO.....Nomar juiced for sure.

He had the body of a juicer. Not of a baseball player, but of a serious weight-lifting body builder. Even though he is a little guy, he was built like a brick s#!t house.

Baseball players just don't have bodies like that.

i see nothing about thomas that would indicate PED use.

1) he's never been spoken about by canseco

2) physically, he looks the same as he did 15 yrs ago

3) his HR numbers show no aberrations. the most he ever hit was 43 and that's for a guy who's 6'5, 260lbs. he seemed to average 30-40 HRs a season which seems to be a realistic number. he was never one of these guys clubbing in the upper 40s/low 50s.

plus, thomas' numbers, like griffeys, taper off towards the end of his career, unlike clemens, bonds, sosa, and mcgwire who were having career seasons in their twilight years. in his 15th season, mcgwire hit 65 HRs for petes sake. like bonds and his 73 HRs, mcgwire wasn't exactly subtle about it.

both griffey and thomas' production has noticeably broken down for the past few years.

if you want to look at "who's next", look at who's having improbably good seasons at an old age, whose body and head have undergone bizarre changes (ala tejada), who's been named by canseco, whose numbers show aberrations.

Are they going to exposure retired players?

I have alot invested in Mike Piazza and hope his name never comes up.

I think the only way they're going to expose retired players is if they're on that list from 2003. Those names WILL come out at some point. I personally think MLB is trying to figure out the best way to approach doing it since it's probably an even more shocking bombshell and includes just about every top name on it. It's one reason I think MLB is going about this in a very calculated way, I think they're targeting certain high profile players (A-Rod, Palmeiro, Manny, Bonds/McGwire) to establish high water marks, so when they drop the big list of 140+ it's less shocking.

Arguably, nobody is bigger in public's eye than A-Rod and we've already seen proof he's done them, is it really going to shock the public when they see Ortiz or Vlad's or even Pujols name on there? They're sports page level stars, the front page superstar's name has already been released to test the water...
