I would never say that anyone doesn't "cork".  How would we know?

My statement to Hamilton has to do with Ortiz's age 37-40 numbers.   Does Hamilton - and do you - really think after all the hulabaloo over his "bad test" in 2003 that Papi would continue using steroids or whatever he tested positive for ....(assuming he even did the first time) - or doesnt it make sense that later in his career, especially given all the times he was being tested (an insane amount), that Ortiz was 100 per cent clean?

And if Rob Manfred is your moral arbiter, you've got no case at all.

Not a matter of morality.

If not everybody on the list was guilty, but we don't know which are which, then there is reasonable doubt about Ortiz, whereas there is no such doubt with Clemens or Bonds.

He is the only shortstop in the history of the game to reach at least 200 HRs and 400 SBs. He also finished with 33 more homers and 91 more stolen bases than Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin (and he won more Gold Gloves, too).


Name him.

I have no idea on the stats, but since you are asking it has to be Rollins.

I think that eqoxaladalovo represents the fans who support PED use. Likely this poster would support Ortiz, A-Rod, Bonds, Clemens, Piazza and others PED users being in the HOF. It is a steroid, after all.

Ham -

Can you give me a projected Phils lineup, rotation, etc  for this season?

Maybe we can all submit ours (I will do Mets) and create some conversation.

If they are going by May 1 I will be grateful and surprised.
