Re: Gary Matthews Jr. Using Steroids?
They overpaid for Matthews, which was dumb, but what other big name players have they bought in hopes of buying a championship?
Colon and Guerrero were both signed the year they were making their transformation. Cabrera was signed after Eckstein's contract was up and they wanted an upgrade.
Plus they have a loaded farm system. I don't really think they are like what the Yankees have been in years past.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

Re: Gary Matthews Jr. Using Steroids?
Yea, I wouldn't compare them to the Yankees.
I guess I can understand the value considering Meche got 11 million per year. Baseball is rich right now and teams are making money.
It's a good thing, I think. Small market teams can't really argue that they can't compete.
I was listening to Mike & Mike in the morning on Friday and they mentioned how this season there is realistically a good number of teams that can compete for a World Championship in contrast to a few years ago when everyone thought maybe only 4 teams could win.
I'd even say that most people aren't afraid, worried, or even care about the Yankees and their players or payroll. Small market teams are proving they can play and payrolls have gone up to a point that while they aren't throwing 100 million dollars a year at guys, 60-80 million can still get the job done.
I say it's getting better for fans.
That being said, Matthews Jr. doesn't deserve 10 million a year. He got paid based off one catch. One catch. Like I said before, he'll show everyone that he doesn't deserve the money."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Gary Matthews Jr. Using Steroids?
1. HGH is NOT a steroid. Read it again and say it with me... HGH is not a steroid.
2. HGH does not cause massive strength or muscle gains... not without steroids in the mix too, typically. HGH by itself is a might fine substance, but it typically leads to leaning out and not big gains. It DOES, however, assist with joint and ligament health. Nobody gets big on just HGH...
3. For any real noticeable results on HGH, you have to take it a MINIMUM of 6 months... typically ONE FULL YEAR PLUS."Well the NBA is in great hands but if I had to pick the single greatest player on the planet, I take Kobe Bryant without hesitation." - Michael Jordan, 2006Comment
