Anyone check this out yet?
Full copies are available at MLB.com and ESPN.com

Some of the bigger names I've seen while skimming it:
Bonds, Giambi, Sheffield, Clemens, Pettitte, Tejada, Kevin Brown, Lenny Dykstra, Benito Santiago, Brian Roberts, David Segui, Rondell White, Chuck Knoblauch, Gregg Zaun, David Justice, Denny Neagle, Mo Vaughn, Ron Villone, Ryan Franklin, Kent Mercker, Mike Stanton, Paul Lo Duca, Fernando Vina, Eric Gagne, Matt Herges, Brendan Donnelly, David Bell, Jay Gibbons, Troy Glaus, Gary Matthews Jr, etc.

What do you guys think?

I haven't really had a chance to read it yet (it's 400+ pages), but I'm glad someone is actually trying to rid the steroid/HGH problem in baseball. Mitchell mapped out a lot of things that the MLB can do to clean up the game.

All these guys were busted on 'roids/HGH?

I don't think it's been proven yet, but this is who one of the main players in Balco just named today.

Frankly, some I was suprised at, some I wasn't.

They all bought anabolic steroids/HGH or had them injected.
They have voided checks for a lot of guys I listed, and there is evidence that these guys were cheating.
I think some of them don't have overwhelming evidence, but a lot of them do.

You mean Clemens wasn't working on pitching into his 90's without a little help?!? Hmm

I always thought Clemens was on something. His late career surge was almost as improbable as Bonds's but nobody cared because he's a pitcher

Isn't it funny that superstars from the past have a late career push at the end and play better ball then they did in their prime?


Remember Mark Mcgwire? Barry Bonds? Raphiel Palmerio? ROGER CLEMENS? I found it humorous if you look at their pictures when they were in their prime and somehow they have gotten bigger with muscle in their upper 30's? Give me a break!

I belive if you get caught using steriods once you should be banned from baseball for life. I bet if you higher the stakes it will scare some of the players from doing it. Honestly would you stop being successful if you only got your hands slapped for doing something bad?
