Prominent... does that mean current or former players?

[GeorgiaBird]

It is Clemens.

[HoilesOsBigbie]

They just said on Mike and Mike in the morning that its come out that Clemens used. Supposedly a close friend of the former yankees trainer stated that he (the trainer) supplied Clemens with steroids. Sorry I dont have a link because it is on the radio.

It is Clemens.

I am not sure that would be so damaging to the Yankees. ARod would be worse, especially with the new contract he received

However, I will say this. If that is true about Clemens, how do HOF voters respond in five years>

[HoilesOsBigbie]

Im not sure if this is ok to be in the Orioles forum but just heard that the former trainer of the yankees told Mitchell that he supplied steroids to Clemens. Thats one of the players who people assumed were on there. Im interested to hear if Tejada or Roberts are on there (though I hope they arent).

I dont have a link because I was listening to Mike and Mike on ESPN.

so happy because i HATEEEEE clemens

[HoilesOsBigbie]

I feel that since so many prominent players (supposedly) will be named that 5 years from now the voters won't take it into account because it was so widespread. I dont know how I feel about that though.

[HoilesOsBigbie]

Yea I definitely do not feel bad that he was on there. I couldnt stand how he put himself above his teams each of the last few years by waiting until the summer to play and not having to travel with the team etc etc.

It wouldn't surprise me either.

Makes sense......

I don't know how pitchers can "naturally" gain the ability to throw harder in their late 30's than they did in their late 20's and still be able to throw 100+ pitches on 4 days rest as effectively in their early 40's .

[JTrea81]

Right this will be known as the Steroids Era in baseball, just like the time before the mound was lowered. Stats will have to be taken into account within this context.

[JTrea81]

Probably should keep all the Mitchell report stuff that isn't about the O's in the MLB forum...

[Lucky Jim]

Been calling this for years...Now, I just need that evidence against Lance Armstrong.
