Jeter hitting .500?
Click to expand...

Not possible. Well, maybe possible - he probably could have done it in 1999 when he hit .349. If he had cut down a bit on his strikeouts and roided up it would have been interesting. PEDs turned Bonds from a .290 hitter to a .370 hitter. So think what it could have done for Jeter, who is 10 years younger than Balco Bonds. Last year I posted a link to an article estimating Jeter's stats if he had roided his entire career, if I find it again I will post it.

How do we know he hasn't "roided" his entire career? How do we know he didn't take it up last year, when he suddenly regained his strength after struggling to get the ball out of the infield the first half of the season?

Do you really think it would be possible for Jeter to have roided the last 16 years and not get caught or even rumored about? If he had roided, the feds would have gone after him like they did Bonds and Lance Armstrong.

Look at pictures of Jeter. He is the same body type now as when he was a 21 year old rookie. His second half surge last year was not due to adding muscle it was a mechanical adjustment in his swing.

Further, do you think Jeter would be able to get the quality and quantity of women he has enjoyed if he had backne?

You can't tell about steroids just by looking at somebody. I keep going back to the example of Alex Sanchez, who was a skinny little guy his entire career.

But sudden surges in performance, especially in an aging player? Hmmmmm

Nobody cares if Alex Sanchez used steroids. If Jeter, the star player of the most successful sports franchise, and in the media capital of the world had used, we would have heard about it.

Yeah much like how Tom Verducci snuffed out Roger Clemens use of PED's

I'm beginning to think Manky is a plant. Nobody can seriously believe all of the stuff he writes.

Wait, he's a Yankee fan. Sorry.

Jeter's name did not appear in the Mitchell report. He has also never failed a steroids test and has had some of his best years since testing was started.

Have you seen them yet this year? I'm going on reports from this year. Abreu's bat speed is completely gone. Wells sucks, but he can still hit the occasional home run.

They both stink. No question.

This piece makes the case that releasing Abreu created even more problems for them as far as roster composition. Abreu brought more tools to the table, even at 38 and washed up.

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/with-trout-recall-angels-make-half-of-right-decision/

Abreu, on the other hand, is not only the better hitter — his wOBA last season bettered Wells’ by 40 points — but he is also a perfect fit as a pinch hitter. Thanks to his time in the National League, he has pinch hit far more frequently during his career than has Wells, and his hitting profile fits the role of one much better. While Wells topped out at 0.63 BB/K, Abreu has had a BB/K of .63 or better in each of the last 14 seasons. He is at just 0.40 so far this year, but then he’s only had 27 plate appearances. And Abreu also sees a lot more pitches — his 4.30 P/PA ranks 22nd best in the AL right now. And again, since he is a left-handed hitter, he would be easier to sub in for one of the outfielders on days when they might need a breather. To take that one step further, by keeping Wells, the Angels now have no solely left-handed hitter on their active roster; they have nine right-handed hitters and four switch hitters. Abreu would have helped balance both the outfield and the entire roster better than does Wells.

Manky's return makes me realize just how bad doodah was at trolling. Manky is fantastic at it.
