...so...Am I delusional to believe his monster years before last season wasn't a direct result of steroid use and that what's happened to him in the last year and a half will pass and he will become the hitter he was? Or is he done?
Besides him playing in his 17th season and had issues with injuries the last couple of years, Manny right now for the Dodgers is basically the late years "Manny being Manny" of the Red Sox.

Mentally he starts to lose interest in playing good if he doesn't get his money or the team stinks (as is the case this year). He played hard for the rest of the season after the trade and then the 1st full season with the Dodgers. After that he reverted back to the bad Manny that got Red Sox fans and management upset with him.
