All-Roids team vs. All-Clean team?

[SpacemanSpiff]

If you assembled a team of known PED-users to battle against the all-time clean team of the last 25 years(which is tough to make since you don't know who just got lucky and didn't get caught), who would win?

Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens are 4 of the greatest players of our generation. All it takes is a Pujols admission to swing it completely to the steroids side, no?

This is pretty obvious, even if Pujols was clean, the All-Roids team would dominate.

Let me ask you something. Would the "All-Clean team" be better if they were all juicing? Of course. The team that juices has a decided advantage.

There is a reason the best players of the past 20 years have all been related to steroids or PEDs as some people like to call them.

Not "all", but most. Frank Thomas and Griffey haven't been "related" to steroids.

Re: All-Roids team vs. All-Clean team?

I guess this is impossible to do unless we knew for sure who juiced and who didn't but guys like Greg Maddux, Griffey, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, could make an argument for the other side. Again no way to know if all the great pitchers of the last two decades were clean but other than Clemens, they've escaped suspicion.

i think it would be a good series... clean would have everyone who has not been caught but is stilll guilty... roids team will be hitting a lot of homeruns tho...

Great article today on Griffey being one of the few clean sluggers during the steroids era.

That is an extremely ignorant case. All baseball players are cheaters? I would put my money that more football players have used steriods then baseball players no doubt about it.

Nonsense. I haven't heard of anyone in the game who thinks that Griffey ever used steroids.

Yeah true and to say ALL baseball players are cheaters is ridiculous. How many names were their like 100 something right? And how many players play professional baseball? Most players are clean good guys yet the media has focused on the players who have been busted have all been high-profile players, making people like them think that well since A-Rod and Bonds and Manny uses them all baseball players must use them.

Re: All-Roids team vs. All-Clean team?

i think an all clean team could do a lot of damage.

1, i don't think you can find, say, 5 quality pitchers (starters and relievers) that were juicing.

2, Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Ozzie Smith, Tony Gwynn, Joe Carter, Fred McGriff, Cal Ripken, Rickey Henderson(?), Mike Schmidt...

Yeah, you could get a great team, and i think they would whoop ***.

Re: All-Roids team vs. All-Clean team?

I don't doubt there were clean players in the dirty era, but I think a lot of you guys would be really dejected at the percentage of players who weren't.

I still feel that Cal Ripken will eventually be exposed, which is so sad.
