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.46 wins to match last year's total

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.Last edited by fenrir; 08-23-2012, 06:29 PM.

Braun is the only relevant "Ryan".They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.
