Default Chris davis- clean or not clean, that is the question.

With Chris "Crush" Davis going HR crazy and his memorabilia prices on the rise, I am curious to know what people think of him. Is he innocent until proven guilty regarding some sort of enhancement(outside of law)? Is it too good to be true based on all the times we have been let down? (i.e. Bonds, Mcgwire, Canseco, Sosa, Clemens*, Pettitte, Giambi, Palmeiro, Braun, Rodriguez, Alzado, Marion Jones, Lance Armstrong, Gay blah blah blah ect ect ect..).

If there was a Honus Wagner t206 card, a pristine 1927 Yankees team signed ball and your choice of any other memorabilia item on the line, what would you chose? Forget innocent until proven guilty for a second…

If the answer was known and you had to guess correctly in order to achieve these great items, what would you guess? Do you think Davis’ run is legit? Please vote anonymously and comment if you wish.

Rumor has it that he has received a male enhancement...

No, I think he's clean. That being said, I've seen the guy first hand on on several occasions and in my opinion he's really nothing special. I'm glad to see him have a good year, but lets face it, he won't duplicate it in the second half of the season.

As for his memorabilia, I wouldn't touch it! It will go down, down, down...

Now, this is just my opinion.

I have no reason to think he isn't clean any more than I have a reason to think Jackson wasn't in 1969 (Same amount of home runs going into the AS Break) or Maris was when he hit 61 out of par for the rest of his career. You listed a lot of people that did things enhanced them, but there are still plenty of people that have come out clean. He very well could be using enhancers, but the game would be no fun if I assumed the worse of everyone.

The guy was considered an elite prospect with unlimited potential when he was with the Rangers. He washed out and looked like another failed prospect like Brandon Wood. I think he's just playing to his potential now. This is the player Texas thought he was and gave up on.

I feel bad for Miguel Cabrera. It appears that he was well on his way to winning a second Triple Crown in a row.

If Davis' numbers are inflated due to steroid use that would be an absolute shame. I say test him right now before the season is over.
