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

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 understand he had good power, but a player doesn't improve every aspect of their game in less than a year.

He's always had pretty good power. I think he's finally putting it together now.

It's hard not be a doubter with the players having shown their propensity to cheat. But with that said gonna give him the benefit of the doubt even though it is tough. Won't be surprised however. This is what the game has turned into.

I don't keep up with MLB but did see an interview with this guy. I think he's real.....not memorex. I could be wrong but hope not..

[mcgwirecom]

I really can't say. With all the testing its hard to believe guys still cheat but they do. His numbers have jumped alot in one year. What about Jose Bautista? Another guy whose numbers went way up. If he stays healthy for a year he could approach a record. It's all so hazy anymore. Maybe there is a new drug they don't test for? Hard to say either way. I wanna believe but...

Honestly if this Arod, Braun etc stuff is true and suspensions are coming I think it should be obvious to everyone that players don't care what the possible penalties are they are going to cheat. Given that I think the only thing left to do is to not have any banned substances since policing clearly won't eliminate the scourge. Allow it all,take PEDS at your own peril. Lets see an 800 foot home run, let's see players with size 11 heads, allowing everything is the only way to at least try to keep things on an even playing field because the way it is now SUX.

You want to see PED use end? here is what you do.

First offense, a one year ban and the players' contract terminated. When and if they return, they get paid the ML minimum the first year with no bonuses of any kind.

Second offense, permanent ban from the game. No HOF eligibility, not able to work as a coach, manager or in any capacity in the game.

If players are cheating to get extra money or to prolong their careers then taking those options and incentives away will remove most of the need to cheat.

He had a pretty solid year last year. He's 27 its the typical peak year. I think he's for real but I don't think he hits 62.
