So what do you think about Thome? Thome was a stick when he came up, now look at him...Just cause a guy 'blew up' doesn't necessarily mean they juiced, and Thome has never been questioned because he's never been as high profile as Bonds, A-Rod etc.
I agree e was a more complete player in the aspects of his five tools, he did it all, but he did more damage at the plate later and got on base and produced and drove in more runs at an absurd rate.
