I hope they're HUGE names. The biggest. If this names a lot of big names, it will be the best thing for baseball since the strike ended in the mid-90's.

No, by airing all the dirty laundry, being honest with the fans, and coming clean about what has/d the potential to ruin the sport.

Naming names is something that most people didn't believe would happen.

You're not wrong at all. Those are fine arguments for showing Jeter is clean.
I just said I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up because of the company he has kept in the Yankee locker room.

I like that there are supposedly names that haven't surfaced before, and I hope they are big names.
For years, I have thought it was possible that Ken Griffey Jr. was on a testosterone-based juice. I have been criticized for voicing this hypothesis, but I feel my logic is good.
He was always uncommonly powerful for his size.
He suffered a series of joint injuries (a common steroid side effect).
He suffered several connective tissue injuries (another common steroid side effect)
Perhaps the proof is in the report. If not, I am a foolish boy with a conspiracy theory. :)

Not all steroids make you noticeably bigger. Heavy anabolic stuff, like Anadrol, causes big size changes. Bodybuilders use it in the off-season to put on a bunch of mass. Testosterone-based stuff makes your muscles harder and tones you up. Bodybuilders would cycle off the anabolics a couple months before contest and begin a testosterone cycle. They lose some of that mass, but the quality of the muscle, when viewed, improves.
So what does it all mean?
A testosterone regimen would make you stronger and harder without a noticeable change in shirt size.

He simply had a pure, sweet swing, which translated to a pure contact. He could have been juicing, but I don't think so in my opinion...

to be honest i dont care. Baseball benefitted from steroids. IT brought fans back to the game after the strike. If everyone is doing it it is not performance enhancing. I am an unabashed steroids apologist. I think the media is full of shit too. THey saw these players getting bigger and bigger but they needed headlines and didnt say anything then. Only when Bonds was getting close did they care. It pisses me off. The owners, players, media, and fans didnt care and it is hypocritical to pretend to do so after the fact.

I'll agree that the league and media turned a blind eye to it when it suited them, but you and I know both know it (performance enhancing drugs) can't continue.
And I really don't know how much of that avg. fan sat there and thought about steroids in the midst of Sammy and McGwire hitting all those homeruns.

Griffey hit 45 home runs when he was 24 years old, so I don't think it's a huge deal as he developed physically and hit 56 four years later. That's not an increase that sticks out like a sore thumb like Bonds (49 to 73) or Sosa (30 to 66). Griffey has always had a sweet home run swing and it is likely that his power numbers would increase as he hit his physical prime.
So, while it is possible Griffey is named tomorrow, he isn't high up on the list of guys I suspect.

Well, according to Jason Stark, the year before the official drug testing program was implemented MLB did random testing to determine whether or not drug tests were even necessary. I don't know what the sample size was but approximately 100 guys failed the test.
Now, I could be wrong but I believe the Mitchell report is supposed to cover the entire "steroid era." I find it amazing that only 60-80 names are going to be released.
I'm still not sure what evidence Mitchell is using to release these names and I don't know how accurate the list will be.
Tiduwho
12-12-2007, 09:04 PM
Besides either appointing an independent administrator or hiring an outside agency to run the program (MLB currently administers the program in conjunction with the Players Association), baseball should:
• Improve to "state-of-the-art" testing, including additional year-round tests with fewer opportunities for players to escape detection.
• Allow the testing administrator to actively investigate "non-analytical positives," meaning information that can show a player violated the doping policy in the absence of a positive urine test. Jay Gibbons and Jose Guillen, for example, were recently suspended after MLB received information from law enforcement sources documenting that the players had received banned drugs. Neither failed a drug test.
• Improve player education about performance-enhancing drugs.
• Allow greater transparency in the program, such as naming the drugs that players test positive for. Some players try to dodge responsibility for positive tests by saying they unwittingly took a tainted diet supplement. Certain drugs could not possibly have come from supplements, but because baseball doesn't name the substances it discovers, the press and public can't determine whether the player is telling the truth.
I like it. Especially the bolded part. Enough of this "I received the shipments but never used it, I changed my mind and my conscience got the better of me" bullshit. They come up with better excuses on To Catch A Predator.
I've seen some predictions/speculations in this thread, so I figure I'll weigh in on a few that I recall hearing about when I worked at a small tv station in Bristol, CT
again, only rumored back in the day - either from players or workers at that same small TV station, but interesting none the less. We'll see what hits soon:
Chipper Jones
Mike Piazza
Larry Walker
Jeff Kent
Vinny Castilla
practically everyone who ever played for the Cleveland Indians in the mid 1990's
Nomar
those are the ones I recall hearing about - again, only rumored, but I think a few of those will be positive on the mitchell report
~Crashintome89~

pretty sure matsui will be named on this. i've heard his name before and the rumors of him getting traded don't help. tejada def is too.
also, i love how they recommend that baseball outsource its drug testing.
good chance this means they cover up their test results like i said before.

I've seen some predictions/speculations in this thread, so I figure I'll weigh in on a few that I recall hearing about when I worked at a small tv station in Bristol, CT
again, only rumored back in the day - either from players or workers at that same small TV station, but interesting none the less. We'll see what hits soon:
Chipper Jones
Mike Piazza
Larry Walker
Jeff Kent
Vinny Castilla
practically everyone who ever played for the Cleveland Indians in the mid 1990's
Nomar
those are the ones I recall hearing about - again, only rumored, but I think a few of those will be positive on the mitchell report
larry walker clearly did. the guy was a truck:lol
nomar and kent wouldn't surprise me either.
Mitchell to name 'several' Yankees...
The Bergen Record reported that "several" prominent Yankees players would be named at this afternoon's news conference. No Mets from the current were expected to be named, a source told the Record.

I'b be more than willing to bet that no current Red Sox's will be named. I am suspicious of Ortiz and Manny, but because Mitchell is with the Red Sox, I doubt that he will throw any his own stars under the bus. It's a shame. Today will suck for baseball.

According to ESPN.com, Roger Clemens will be named in George Mitchell's report on steroids, which is scheduled to be released Thursday afternoon.
The Bergen Record notes that "several" prominent Yankees will be named in the report, with one source telling the newspaper that "it's going to be a rough day in the Bronx." Brian McNamee, who worked a personal trainer for Clemens and Andy Pettitte, is said to have supplied Mitchell with information.

It's about him breaking the most coveted record in all of professional sports and blatantly cheating to do it.
That's what it's about.

but if clemen's is reported as using steroids, he won't be considered in the top 5 anymore.
and you can't compare the two. both are assholes, but bonds is a much bigger asshole than clemens. and clemens did not lie under oath. bonds (probably) did. that's a crime, regardless of your skin color.
No more a crime than using illegal drugs. I don't understand how you could possibly say Bonds is a bigger asshole than Clemens.

He only did what Marky Mark did first. So at least they should be equally demonized.
I guess you mean the lifetime though. Ok. So he can be demonized like 1% more.
"Marky Mark" was out of the game before steroid use really became a big public issue, the comparison isn't valid...

Does anyone know exactly what qualifies someone to be on this list?
No, but I don't believe they will be on it just because Radomski or someone else gave Mitchell their name. This is from Buster Olney ...
What is going to be the standard of fairness applied in deciding to publish -- or not publish -- names within the report?
An agent tells this story: One of his clients was asked by the Mitchell investigators to address a question of steroid impropriety that came out of the information from former Mets bat boy Kirk Radomski. The player was shown a canceled check in his name, written to Radomski, and asked to explain what it was for. The player responded: He didn't know. Because it could've been for anything from a McDonald's run for a group of players to clubhouse dues or something else. But the player said he knew this: It wasn't for performance-enhancing drugs. And, in the end, the Mitchell investigators backed off.
Is a benign canceled check combined with the word of a former Mets bat boy enough to include a player in the report? And no matter what the intention of the Mitchell investigators is, the reality is that if a player's name is in this report in relation to steroids, he will be effectively convicted in the court of public opinion.
And you can bet that if there is even one name that we haven't heard before, the union is going to have a lot to say, in its own news conference, about how the report was generated.

I really don't think race is the issue, I think its more a matter of people caring more about batters than they do about pitchers
Why isn't Marky Mark just as despised then?

It's 100% valid. Who cares whether it was a public issue. He DID it.
See, that's why I think it's a race thing. Because people make these arguments to go out of their way to defend everyone but Bonds for on zero rational basis.

I am not defending anyone, I think he is just as guilty and his records should be taken off the records too, I think if you switched the players, and Bonds was the retired player that had broken the single season record and Mcguire was the active player that broke the career record, Mcquire would be the hated one and Bonds would be the one that everyone has forgotten about
