Make a CAP Riley Greene then? Oh and add a CAP Cecil Fielder too.
I made a CAP Barry Bonds last year because he’ll probably never make it into the game. Used him until he became a diamond 89 and then only on my all giants squad for fun.
Skinny Barry or planet-sized head Barry?
Giants Barry, not Pirates Barry. So take from that what you will.
Amazing how no one says anything about Jose Bautista coming out of nowhere after years of mediocrity or Eric Thames or Max Muncy or any other guy that was a middling “prospect” but all of a sudden “sees the light”.
I’ll even go as far as to say the body types on a few HOFers could be questioned as well. You can look up the photos (and “chronic injuries”) for yourselves. Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Ken Griffey Jr, Ivan Rodriguez, who all played with known abusers (Canseco, Caminiti, ARod, Bret Boone, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte etc) but have been given a “pass” because they were well-liked by the media. I’ll continue on with future HOF locks Pujols and Ortiz. This may make me unpopular, but Manny Ramirez and Ortiz were thick as thieves in Boston and Ortiz was not the stud in Minnesota for years that he was once arriving in Boston. And Pujols was basically an unknown in the minors before destroying the MLB for an entire decade from the outset of his rookie season. Now all of the cartilage injuries and other chronic issues lead one to believe something was off.
Sorry to take that post of yours as a chance to get on my soap box for Bonds.
Rant over. Lol
Oh dude. You're talking to a Bonds fan.. ya, I fully believe he cheated. It's obvious. But he did it to level the playing field after becoming jealous over McGwire/Sosa getting all the spotlight even though he was better than them in every way but homers. Even without the roids, Bonds was a inner circle HOFer...
As for others, there is literally zero suspicion of Griffey or Bautista (a guy who had to go through serious testing and never failed).. Bautista never got bigger either. He just learned launch angle and became legendary at pitch selection and plate discipline.
It's important to know details in the timing of those resurgences, or how they improved and changes in their physicality before just randomly throwing accusations like that.
Serious testing didn't begin until mid to late 2000's, so anyone after that most likely didn't regularly cheat who wasn't caught
