    Not a lot of pitchers mentioned. I'll throw one out.

    Gagne. Mysteriously got 10mph added to his fastball. Now he's fallen apart.

      It's like automatically if a guy hits over 30 homeruns when he hasn't ever before he must be on roids. Steve Finley? Come on y'all.
      Unfortunately it's become a witchhunt with the fans now. The things I look at are 1) what did this guy do before the steroids stuff came out and the penalties put in place, 2) what has he done after. Finley put in some great years, but they during that time period when Big Mac, Sosa and Bonds were going crazy. The last few years he hasn't done anything. It could very well be a coincidence. Many guys it may be. It's unfortunate that it makes me wonder, but it does. I'm sure there are plenty of great players/people that may have been on it to keep their careers going or get that big paycheck. And there have been some jerks, like Bonds. The most ridiculous suggested one in this thread so far, aside from the sarcastic posts, is Junior Griffey. No way joined in on all of that.

        He's one that has crossed my mind as well. I hate even wondering about all of this stuff to be honest. Someone posted, "Do we really want to know?" I don't know if I do. The truth hurts sometimes.

          I'm a HUGE Dodger fan, and I'm going to admit Gange went from a high-80's cream-puff fastball to high-90's.

          Another one I'll throw out. Adrain Beltre. Mysterious went from the low 20's to leading the NL in HR's with 48.

                And now he apparently has lost alot on his fastball. Same as Bobby Jenks as well.

                      Why is Griffey an "automatic-pass" on this issue? I dont understand. Not saying I think he did, but you are all very quick to say "no way" to him.

                        If you think Griffey did steriods your ignorant. I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE, but very unlikely.

                        1. His body 2. His career timeline 3. #1 pick (very very talented)

                        He hit alot of homers because of his swing and he played in the kingdom.

                        Griffey barely worked out during his career, they called him "the natural" for obvious reasons. His body got torn up after years of diving around with no regard to his body, and the astro turf. Not having a great work ethic also didn't help.

                        Maybe he tried them later in his career (with the Reds) trying to rehab his injuries or something, but I truly doubt it...and if he did...it didn't help.

                        Pretty much the same applies to A-Rod except he had more of a work ethic...the guy hit 36 home runs when he was 20.....he didn't touch a steriod. He had no need to.

                          I actually agreed with what you said. Well put.
