Re: Players with over priced gamers
Roady, I have now read the article at the link you posted. Nowhere in the there is McGwire quoted as saying he used steroids during his entire career. Matthew Leach, the columnist, interjects that McGwire's statements mean that he used PEDs during all 16 years of his career. Leach also concludes that McGwire acknowledged PED use sometime after his third full season.
The actual quotes attributed to McGwire make it sound like he started using "low doses" of steroids during the 1996 season, to make sure he could stay on the field.
That is how I interpreted the comments about being injury prone (*M*A*S*H* unit) and calling his dad during '96 to talk to him about quitting, and deciding to use steroids as a way to help stay healthy. What specifically did McGwire say (not Leach) that leads you to believe McGwire admitted to using steroids his entire career?

"McGwire said he briefly tried steroids after the 1989 season but did not begin using them regularly until the winter after the 1993 season,...."
He chose his words very, very carefully.

Re: Players with over priced gamers
I will let this drop, it's polluting the thread and I can tell some feelings are very raw.
I don't really care if anyone believes McGwire or takes up for him
To me he is a liar and a cheater. He is a grown man who acted like a little child for most if not all of his career. A man who didn't have the will power not to cheat and lie.
I am not his judge and he never did anything to me that required my forgiveness. I just have zero respect for him.
He is a man of low character.

Re: Players with over priced gamers
Back to the purpose of the thread... If you want to reply that's great let's keep this thread going! If you want to debate that's fine as well. Don't post a reply or debating someones choice without adding your Single Player with whom you feel to be over valued. That's both lame and posting without purpose. Let's allow the thread to keep moving forward. Lets all debate away but lets add value to this thread too by posting your choice!!!
Another SINGLE player I feel to be over valued and I'm sure I'm not alone is Nick Swisher. I think his appeal stems more from his personality than it does from his play. A decent player but not someone whose gamers should fetch the same as the likes of say Adam Jones (IMHO).
