Steve9347 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Curt Schilling Says Red Sox Officials Urged Him to Use PEDs "At the end of my career, in 2008 when I had gotten hurt, there was a conversation that I was involved in in which is was brought to my attention that this is a potential path I might want to pursue," Schilling told Colin Cowherd. Asked for more details, Schilling said the conversation occurred in the clubhouse and involved "former members of the organization - they're no longer there. It was an incredibly uncomfortable conversation. Because it came up in the midst of a group of people. The other people weren't in the conversation but they could clearly hear the conversation. And it was suggested to me that at my age and in my situation, why not? What did I have to lose? Because if I wasn't going to get healthy, it didn't matter. And if I did get healthy, great." Much more at link. Rather incriminating to the BoSox and potentially some of the foos in charge of the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 There is no way PEDs happened without at the very least team knowledge to a large extent, and in some cases, team involvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 As much as I'd like to say "hahaha, nice work Theo!" I gotta consider the source. Schilling is an asswipe and has always been one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The Sabermetric way of doing things trumpeted by guys like Theo and Billy Beane looks more and more like a great cover for PED usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite lines in Moneyball, paraphrased, talks about how a kid might grow into power, after all, Giambi did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger a player gets, the more careful a pitcher is to not throw meatballs down the plate, the higher the OBP goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that this is a foundationally true theory of scouting within baseball. Doubles --> Homers. -Between the ages of 20 and 21, Jim Thome hit 10 homers in 698 plate appearances. He hit 25 in 497 as a 22 year old in AAA. -In 804 minor league plate appearances, including his rehab stint in 2005, Frank Thomas hit 24 homers. Increased power != steroids Stick figure to hulking monstrosity ~= steroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
