Players you WISHED took STEROIDS

mouschi · 04-10-2017, 10:22 AM

I get it - you think the roid users were scummy / dirty players. They cheated and were dirty, rotten scoundrels. BUT ... they sure were fun to watch!

Let's imagine for a moment that being on the juice was legal, and fine. What players do you wish would have taken steroids? What #'s do you think they would have put up?

In recent history, I think Griffey, Thomas and Randy Johnson would have been insane. The one that is really intriguing though, would be a fully juiced career out of Barry Bonds. Might we have seen a 1,000 home run career?

Matt Purke. Maybe his shoulder wouldn't have fallen apart and I wouldn't be left sitting on 100+/- Bowman Chrome autos of various shiny, refractory colors. Luckily I didn't pay much for any of them.

But then they'd have to change his name to Bop. It would have been a whole thing.

No doubt ... he woulda been a beast. Side note ... I *think* I saw him recently and his veins were POPPING. He looked huge, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Tebow.

^ Thought for sure you'd have said Carlos Tocci. The guy's a telephone pole.

For me, Jose Altuve.

I think Ichiro on steroids would be a thing of beauty.

Mattingly. If they could have helped his ailing back and played about six to eight more years and be in the discussion for the HOF.

Pedro Martinez...

I would like Joe Mauer to start juicing, I still say his MVP year was aided by steroid treatment for his ailing back that spring. (Even though they weren't anabolic steroids, just anti inflammatory steroids) (BTW, I have no facts, just talking out of my butt) :- )

ThoseBackPages · 04-10-2017, 11:31 AM

Ripken. oh wait.

I always wondered what Ted Kluszewski would have looked and hit like if steriods would have been around when he played?
