Back on topic, lol. After seeing David Wright's ratings, some needs tweaking.

There are new reports that came out saying he may have used as recently as the 07 and 08 seasons.

Well when these are facts get back to us. Maybe a bit of bias here. I'm not a fan of ARod and believe me back in 04 I wished he had gone to the enemy.

I don't believe any of his three steroid stories. I'd imagine he's been juicing his whole career.

To the fella that mentioned there being no spike in his career stats, what exactly does that prove? Really very little, and maybe it shows that he's been consistent in his steroid use over a long period of time. I tend to believe he was on the stuff from day one, and the murmurs from his high school days would seem to suggest there's a certain element of doubt about him as far back as then.

If you want to focus on a Sammy Sosa, he was never actually caught or directly linked to anything, never failed a test that we know of. Do I think he was juicing? Having watched him as a Cub fan for years, yes. But you can't put the two of them in the same boat yet. You have to deal with the evidence before you, and the evidence is a failed a test for Primobolan and synthetic testosterone, a few different admissions of guilt, and evidence of a Union warning from Fehr prior to a 2004 test (while he was a Yankee and testing was enforced).

The thread is a little off topic, but I do genuinely believe Alex Rodriguez will slip dramatically in the next few years, especially in his ability to hit for average (which was never really his strong point anyway), as this has long been the trend for the steroid users. This suffers more than the HR/AB numbers. His obvious mental frailties may also hasten his decline.

This is more on teams, but the Minnesota Twins just signed Joe Crede, and it looks like they could get Type-A free agent Juan Cruz. Would they move up on overall rankings with these?

I really like the Joe Crede signing TT. The Twins have won 4 divisional tiltes since 2002!
