As long as Griffey ain't one of them, then it's not the end of the world for me.

I think Griffey is clean, at least I hope to God he is. If not baseball is really going to have a problem on their hands.

At this point I think every player in the last 10-15 years has done PEDs at least once in their career.

I agree to a point. If I had to guess, 50-60%

You can't tell by looks alone, but Jeter doesn't have the "look" of a steroid user. But then again, neither do many of the smaller size wrestlers in the WWE who have tested positive through the years.

You also have to look at the players that have tested positive the last year have mostly been skinny middle relievers that do not have that roid look. It also takes years of use to get the Bonds look.

He is a pretty big dude, he was 2 feet in front of me at Fenway in 04. Most of the designer PEDs guys are taking now don't give you the Conseco, McGuire look. The stuff A-Rod took did not give him that roided look but he still looked absolutely huge. I have a pic I took of him and Jeter walking side by side in 2004 and A-Rod is way bigger than Jeter

Pudge Rodriguez was also on the team with A-Rod for 2 years. He never seemed to get big but he stayed heathier than many other catchers. All this witch hunting could have been avoided if the Commissioner's Office had kept their word and destroyed the records after getting the statistical data. And once again for you Yankee fans, I do expect that several Red Sox players will be on the list if it is ever released including Nomar.

I agree that A-Rod does not have that bulky roid look especially in these pictures.

I have always thought Manny was a roider especially with all his personality issues. Big Papi I think is just a big dude.
