They can alter their hormone balance to mask the tests. If Olympic weight lifters can continue to beat the tests, you better believe far richer athletes are beating them too. Come on. With Sarms available over the counter right now, it's easier than ever. Everyone who thinks these guys are clean should watch Icarus and pay attention to cycling/Olympic weight lifting.

It's both. All these guys are still juiced. The tests will always be one step behind the drugs.

One good thing to come of this year is that he had so much raw power. I knew the power was there, but I was expecting more of a gap hitter that also hit HR's.

I've always gotten the impression that Renteria is just here for the rebuild. He seems like he's good with kids and the Latino players like him. I've always assumed he'd take a different position in the organization when/if they take off. That's why I've never really understood the angst.

I'm not worried about scoring runs. I think it's more important to have a veteran catcher who can handle a young staff, even if he's a light hitting catcher. McCann seems to excel in that area.

His shitty attitude screamed red flags. He just seems like the type of guy to get a deal, stop caring and get fat. He has yet to get fat though.

Roids or not, Bonds was the best player in the history of the game. In Bonds era, everyone was on roids anyway.

This is a bit much.

So it values walks more than xbh's?

Semien's always been a sure handed statue. The Sox prefer a rangier SS that's going to make more errors, but get to balls that most players don't. The Sox traded Semien because they wanted to go with Johnson at 2nd.

This might be Caufield's most Caufield moment ever.

Defensive metrics are really bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if he never plays again. The dude tore his Achilles twice. I'm really not sure why anyone would even be the tiniest bit optimistic about him returning.

Because that idiot's constantly trolling. I'm gonna continue to call him out on it.

Who gives a shit? This isn't TMZ. Has he been arrested? I don't care who he's banging.

Rage? The hell? You're just creepy, dude. Why are you investigating Jace Fry's drama and posting it here? "Haha. STD. Isn't that funny guys? It is, right? LOL" You're like the worst parts of every message board all wrapped into one troll. I guess that's an accomplishment if that's what you're into.

What in the hell is wrong with you?

Hangover Sundays

Men giving birth is dead serious. Clearly you've never birthed a child.

Remember when men were men and were right back in the factory after they gave birth. Jeez.

I think he continues to refine his approach and adds more walks. I don't see him ever being a 40 plus sb guy. He's fast enough, but I don't think it's worth the punishment to his body.

I've been banned on both boards many times. Rip

oh. my. god. I keep talking about the sound off the bat, but it's just exceptional.

Carlos Quentin - 1st round draft pick out of Stanford/Team USA/top 50 prospect - according to Caulfield, he was a "find." Oh, Caulfield...

The goal is to continue to have waves of prospects develop so the team can sustain success for an extended period of time. In order for them to get into a position to execute it, they had to tear it down. The 3 guys you mentioned were the first wave. The second wave will be Kopech, Cease, Robert, Collins and Madrigal. The wave after will be guys like Vaughn, Walker and Sheets, and so on and so on. Not every wave of players is going to peak at the same time. They should be good next year. They should be real good the year after. Hopefully they can continue to incorporate waves of players to stay real good for a while. Part of doing that is "playing games with service time."
