    Possibility of Jeter using PEDS?

    Jeter laughs off Bayless' PED use insinuation
    http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8294309/derek-jeter-laughs-skip-bayless-ped-use-insinuation
    Derek Jeter today laughed off insinuations by Skip Bayless of ESPN's "First Take" that his excellent 2012 season was the result of using performance-enhancing drugs.


    Based on his age and performance, it wouldn't shock me...... Just saying. To be perfectly honest, I have wondered about it myself......You watch him play and it is NOT a 38 year old man out there playing..........Would I be shocked if was using ? No!.....Would I be disappointed if he was found using? Yes. Even though he is a Yankee, he is the only one I have ever had any respect or like for in how he plays the game.

    This all stems from ESPN basically making their own news. One of their hired pundits makes an accusation and an ESPN reporter basically goes up to Jeter and says "Hey, Derek, our guy at ESPN says you're hitting the PEDs. Is it true?". Jeter does what he's supposed to do: laugh it off. This is the same "commentator" who once opined the NFL should get rid of kickers and punters because they're boring; there's no doubt in my mind he's paid and/or told to say and write things like this every now and then.

    I don't deny that PEDs are still a problem, but I also believe it's irresponsible to throw out now-serious accusations with bare-bones proof.

      Is anyone else annoyed that ESPN has a basketball guy (Stephen A Smith) talking about baseball? What the hell does he know about baseball?

        True but when i thought about it it kind of made since in a way with his production and that he is 38.

        I don't know but i think its a valid question worry considering Jeter is 38 years old.

          Yes, it's a valid question, but it's all speculation so it's pointless. It's no more valid to ask about Jeter than anyone else.

            Just like with Ryan and his case we all speculated with that case a lot. Meh just trying to drive some discussion/debate.

                  Well, considering this is a baseball forum, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure it out...

                  Braun is the only relevant "Ryan".

                      Ryan Braun actually failed a test (albeit with chain-of-custody issues).

                        It's possible to have excellent success at an older age and not be a PED user. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Hank Aaron are examples of this. Granted, Jeter isn't at their level, but he isn't doing anything ridiculous that would warrant suspicion, IMO. He's a future Hofer having an excellent season at age 38, good for him. Bayless just likes to talk crap, and it's funny coming from him considering what a Barry Bonds apologist he is.

                          So does this mean that Braun didn't fail the test? LOL
                          "After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggio

                            Well Nolan Ryan pitched for the Texas Rangers until he was 46 years old with little loss of velocity or effectiveness. And Tom House was with the Rangers then, right? And he was one of the first juicers, right? See, this is fun!
                            They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.
