So Selig is contemplating adjusting A-Rod's career statistics as punishment for admitting his steroid use.

Now while this is a good idea in theory, it's incredibly dangerous to actually do. First, why are you only contemplating doing this now when A-Rod is not even close to being the first player caught using steroids? Second, you're creating an extra punishment for someone who admitted to cheating, meaning players who did cheat have even more incentive to keep their mouths shut.
