Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 31, 2004 I don't just mean Power Hitter. I mean overall hitter. Happy Birthday to the best right handed, power hitter today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 31, 2004 Well he's stereo-typed as a power hitter, still he's a great all around hitter. I'd take Pujols over Manny due to age and the difference in contract dollars. However Manny has proven season after season he's one of the best hitters in the game. Sheffield did roids, don't even bring him into the equation. He's a cheater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 31, 2004 The list released with his name on it of recieving hormones can be found on that site with all the celeb mugshots. List from BALCO that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 1. That is not proof. For one, we do not know what those supplements from Balco were, or what sustances were in them. We do not know that Gary Sheffield actually took those supplements. 2. Who is to say that Manny Ramirez never took steroids, or corked his bat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 Manny strikes out way too much in comparison to Pujols to be considered a superior hitter. Look at Albert's numbers right now. That's a slump for him. No contest on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 1, 2004 2. Who is to say that Manny Ramirez never took steroids, or corked his bat? Manny is quite the lardo minus his biceps. If he was taking steroids he may want to request a refund because they clearly aren't working on the rest of him. He's also shattered hundreds and hundreds of bats in his career with none containing cork. O know you love the game Al, but it isn't completely pure right now. Certain people have cheated and could possibly still be cheating. There are hard facts, don't be blind to them for your love of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are hard facts, don't be blind to them for your love of the game. I have no doubt that athletes bend the rules, particularly without inforcement mechanisms. But to completely discount accomplishments due to mere suspicion is a dangerous area to get into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2004 I suspect that Al has been posting with the assistance of steroids and request he be stripped of all his journalistic recognition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
