I think Ichiro is going to get 3k hits in the majors with ease...that's crazy when you think about how late he started.

I don't think anyone saw Bautista having the kind of season he has: 50 hrs is amazing when people were expecting close to nothing from him. I hope he's not just a one year fluke.

im going to assume the second comment was sarcasm. i would hope you honestly dont think with all the testing and speculating going on that no one would be stupid enough to still juice these days.

I agree that there was no juicing in Bautista's case. He benefited from manager Gaston's hitting philosophy (aggressive, swing first not walk). It's good to see someone have a great year without the stigma of 'roids attached to his name.

Manny Ramirez got caught last year, you honestly think others arent finding similar ways around it?

According to an ESPN report, the drug used by Ramirez is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.
