So Ortiz, who'd been a part time player prior to 2003 is now being named as 100 MLB players who tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. Now Ortiz has always been a big guy and did show the ability to hit prior to 03. But I can totally see this, and it would explain how significant his production drop has been the last couple of years.
If Griiffey, Thomas, and Jim Thome can avoid being linked to steroids they'll probably be among a select few hitters from the last 20 years who might get into the hall of fame. A lot of those guys from the 70's and 80's who didn't quite make the cut before have a new window here to gain admission.
