Being large is not the indicator of steriod use. Ortiz, as far as I can recall, has always been a large guy. No abnormal muscle growth etc. I also dont think his career arc is indicative of steriods. He was a decent player for six years and then "put it together." I think numerous players go through this type of pattern. He is not that old (at least not when his numbers got bigger) - its not like bonds who developed his power in his late 30s when most players are retiring.
