Well with sign stealing, the question is moot now anyway with the comm system in the pitcher’s cap. I suppose that could be hacked but the consequences of getting caught would be enormous. MLB was successful at settling a precedent there, I think.
Also sign stealing has more of a team benefit than an individual benefit, whereas PED use is more individualistic though good individual production helps a team. But the benefits & goals aren’t quite the same.
We could probably just have one big ole Steroids Thread that mentions David Ortiz, greenies, A-Rod, Bonds, and now Tatis, by decree at least once per page of responses. Whenever conversations veer to PEDs, take it to the ‘roids thread.
I would want to ask such a thread this. It is routinely stated in these threads that PED testing is stupid, we should just let the athletes roll with them, etc., etc.
My question is - let’s say a good, strictly secret ballot vote were to be held, amongst only current members of MLBPA, on this question: should MLB allow players to use PEDs?
I think such a vote would lose.
