Interesting Connection

[RME JICO]

With the recent news about Grimsley, I wondered which players had played with Grimsley and other suspected or admitted users like Giambi and Canseco. I only used Giambi and Canseco with Grimsley and came up with these names:

 

Played with all 3 players:

R. Clemens (multiple seasons with each player)

M. Tejada

 

Played with 2 of the players:

R. Palmiero

D. Jeter

B. Williams

K. Rogers

R. Hernandez

C. Davis

J. Dye

 

Canseco played with Giambi in 1997 (OAK) and Grimsley in 2000 (NYY).

 

Just because a player played on the same team doesn't constitute guilt, but you have to believe they knew something about the usage.

 

I didn't even realize it until the end that Clemens had played 7 total seasons with those 3 players, and had at least 2 with each player. Tejada had 7 as well, but only one with Canseco.

No question in my mind that Clemens has some "scientists" on his regular payroll.

I agree with you. From 93-96, his last 4 years in Boston, he was 40-39. People wonder why the White Sox didn't break the bank trying to sign him. All of a sudden his performance took off again, except his first year in NY was a struggle.
