MLB 2008-2009 Offseason Thread

I guess the thing I'm surprised about is that anyone really cares (or is shocked, for that matter). There are only a few guys that I would be legitimately surprised to hear they took PEDs in their prime, and Rodriguez wasn't one of them. He's always had the ridiculous power numbers, but the guy looks like a bodybuilder now compared to his last couple years in Seattle.

I don't buy that he only started taking them in Texas, and I don't buy that he's not still on something now. Now that baseball tests for most of the archaic stuff, he's probably moved on to something that can only be detected with a blood test, and the Player's Union would rather have a years-long strike than allow that in the next CBA.

It's been said before in this thread, but he's far from the only guy to have taken something in that timeframe. There's a hell of a lot more that were using than the ones who showed up in that survey testing -- those are the guys who were either too dumb to quit or too arrogant to really care.
