This disaster currently out at least the next four days with a lat strain will be stealing a tremendous sum of money for the next two years. A 34 year old guy breaking down who simply cannot stay healthy. A guy whose numbers just continue to decline. I've been saying it for a little while now but you cannot convince me he wasn't juicing earlier in his career.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. And just think maybe A-rod, and CC will be back next year. Three coins in a fountain!
Tex is owed like $45 million the next two years. Not only are the teams willing to take that on limited who would want to do so for a declining player who can't stay healthy?
2 more years sounds like eternity when your bats anemic....! Or when your a wannabe Emperor in the last 2 yrs of a term....Obuma...! Gee Golly the analogy fits.....! I wanted to see Tex in Pinstripes back in 07 & prior, when we wound up with Doug Mientkiewicz instead....! BUT- I can't help like many feel Tex's past was mired in steroids. His last go round in 2012 when prescribed (non-anabolic roids) was to similar to Manny Ramirez's demise in L.A. when his tests found high amounts of prednisone in his blood. If I'm of the proper assumption, Manny was taking prednisone, (a female hormone) to mask the high amounts of testosterone in his system....? Secondly- anyone playing in or during Canseco World, will always be questionable IMO..... Someone prove me wrong, please....
...can't prove you're wrong anymore than you can prove you're right. ...Joey Bats had the same wrist injury as Tex...was he doing PEDs too?...are all the players with calf strains and hamstring pulls also guilty of PED use? ...it seems like every time a player has a great year, the PED use card is played...and whenever a player declines for whatever reason and/or falls prey to injuries, the PED use card is played. ...no offense, but it is almost like a conspiracy theory or lynch mob mentality.
The Yankees are Cashman's rest home for over the hill old ball players. Tex has an ingrown hair and on the DL for probably 60 days
No offense taken at all 59, I can't prove his use or non-use either way.....googled it, didn't find anything substantial..... was more or less wondering, if someone knew something I or google didn't....the reason I said "someone prove me wrong please"....and your reply is more than sufficient, what I thought, no proof either way.... and Yep, I agree the PED card is over-played, yet didn't want to sound forthcoming, or in denial either way.....no offense meant here either....!
...matts, that's one of the facets of the PEDs era. We'll never know for sure one way or the other as to who used them and who didn't. Very unfortunate that we as fans even have to deal with this. It is the byproduct of sheer greed among both the owners and the players...but sadly, it's the fans' cross to bear.
