ZoomSlowik Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Didn't every White Sox player refuse to take the test in an attempt to trigger the new policy, thus causing them to count as positive tests? That would mean this list isn't accurate since there are only a couple of them on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'll wait for something a little more official. But it's about to get real ugly pretty soon. Pedro? Wow. Well forget about his 1999-2000 seasons being the most dominant I've seen in my 18 years as a hardcore baseball fan if this is legit.

santo=dorf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 From that list I'd say the most shocking is Helton as I recall him exploding about being suspected of roids. There are guys on that list that have been suspended, apologized, rumored positive tests, tied to BALCO, and tied to Jose Canseco. Who wants to group each guy accordingly?

Balta1701 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Anyway...The best reason I can give for why this list is wrong? It's too obvious. How many no-names are on there? Where's the guys struggling to stay in the big leagues? Where's the Alex Sanchez type guys? There's only like 3-4 names on that whole list I don't recognize. Everyone else is someone who had a legit career. None of the guys on there are the bench guys who are just barely staying in the big leagues, or who made it for a couple years, or who were busted prospects, etc. Also, Jose Contreras only pitched 1/2 a season in 2003 for the Yankees. Was he in training camp with them? Most of the original 2003 tests were done in ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ummm, Alex Sanchez is on the list. I think Jay Gibbons (suspended,) Brent Abnernathy, Dan Smith (?,) Terry Adams (way old,) and Jose Lima (was out of the league until the Royals picked him up midseason) meet those specs.

WilliamTell Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I didn't notice any Twins players from 2003 on the list, I might be wrong, but kudos to them and any other team, if there was any team that was clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you get my point though. If someone went through 2003 MLB rosters and picked everyone who had big performances or who were simply big guys, then threw in the few other names we already knew from the Mitchell Report list or previous positive tests, this is exactly the list you'd get.

santo=dorf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Everett was crushing the ball with Texas in 2003 and was really out of shape in 2004. Just Sayin'. Not surprised some names on there of guys who are really injury prone, pitchers specifically: Jason Schmidt, Wood, Prior, and Hampton.

I remember Sammy Sosa freaking the f*** out when Reilly asked him to pee in a cup, and I also remember Raffy Palmeiro pointing his finger at congress adamantly denying he ever took steroids.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm with Balta, the name is too overloaded with big names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly could be legit and I could be proven wrong easily, but I'm going to withhold acceptance until someone goes on the record, even if its a major media outlet with an anonymous source.

SoxAce Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Jeromy Burnitz is listed twice unless he has a twin brother out there. But it is very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I really don't believe this is the real list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev211 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 This cant be real not enough no namers, and burnitz wouldnt have been listed twice. This is probably just someone throwing 104 names on a list for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Considering the lawsuit Clemens filed against his former trainer, I find it hard to believe he is on the list. The list in this thread is BS. There would be some minor leaguers for sure, and why is everyone who has been implicated since on the list? You would think a couple wouldn't be on there.
