I'm not sure how helpful this is to the whole steroid issue, but in reading other posts, suggesting how many others have used steroids besides Bonds, Giambi and Shef, I started thinking about a few names that seem like no-brainers for the Roid label.
And I wondered if it would be an interesting thead to have Cafe posters "name some names"...
I'll start by throwing one (obvious one) out there:
Brady Anderson That guy rebuilt himself into a monster! It was scary.
wr we are using evidence of abnormal changes to a player physically, and changes in their performance. We are speculating - there is no proof or there would be no reason to speculate.
You're naivety is cute, but it gets old.

Roger Maris with the Indians, so this would be 57 or 58
Notice the arms ...
The infamous Roger Maris picture of him hitting number 61 at age 27, only 3 years after the first picture. Notice the arms? Plus he went bald that year. He claims it was stress, but how do we know he is not a liar? On top of that he only hit 30 plus homeruns once for the rest of his career (33) never surpassing it again. I might also add that he never played a full season after that, because he was always injured.
You guys had "convicted" Barry Bonds years ago, using just as much circumstantial evidence, and now you want to go after Brady Anderson and who knows whom ever else, ... "using evidence of abnormal changes to a player physically, and changes in their performance" Its is sicking actually.
Well there you go ...
Evidence of abnormal physical changes
Evidence of change in performance.
haha. which Yankees weren't on 'roids? Loaiza, Vazquez, Brown, Giambi, Sheffield. hmmm...
the other one we already knew about was McGwire.
I agree with the Brett Boone accusation...have you ever looked at his career stats? Beltre really put it all together last year huh? Preston Wilson sure has a lot of "knee" problems.

Well there you go ... Evidence of abnormal physical changes Evidence of change in performance.
Maris played 3 complete seasons, hardly enough to say he was never a great HR hitter. There wasn't a large change in his body. He had his career year when he was 27, not 37 like Bonds. Yeah, prime steroid candidate

Well as soon as the leaked testimony from Maris comes out I'll buy into that crazy theory.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
