When Jose Canseco wrote "Juiced" in 2005, he brought the issue of steroids in Major League Baseball to the forefront. Now, Canseco has another book due this fall and he promises some juicy info on Alex Rodriguez.

Canseco told WEEI-Radio in Boston on Friday that he has "other stuff" on the Yankees slugger, who he called a "hypocrite" who "was not all he appeared to be."

When asked if A-Rod had used steroids, Canseco told WEEI, "Wait and see."

"Jose has information about A-Rod and the Yankees that will be in the book. But, I am not sure if Jose is willing to disclose it at this point," Canseco's lawyer, Robert O. Saunooke, told The New York Times.

In Baltimore for the Yankees' game against the Orioles on Saturday night, Rodriguez told reporters that he hadn't heard Canseco's comments about him. "And I have no comment," he told the newspaper.

Canseco has shared names of more players who used steroids with investigators looking into the issue for Major League Baseball. George Mitchell, the former Senate majority leader, was appointed by commissioner Bud Selig in 2006 to head the league's investigation into steroids in the sport.

Saunooke told The Times that Canseco planned to meet again with Mitchell and and his investigators in the next month.

Canseco attracted the attention of Congress with his autobiography, "Juiced," in which the former slugger named several players, including himself, Rafael Palmeiro and Mark McGwire, who he said had used steroids.

This guy's just begging for a bullet in a dark alley.

Hes got nothing to lose. Hes a washed up has been who wont make the hall. Hes bitter and figures if hes goin down, hes bringin everybody else with him.

How many years until he keels from an overdose or something similar?

its sad to see. i would much rather remember canseco as the bad ass he was with oakland, but now i'll remember him as a bitch ass rat.

I'm inclined to believe Pay-Rod over Canseco on this one. If Canseco had some info on Rodriguez, he would have put it in his first book. At this point, I think he's looking for money and attention.

I wouldn't care if he were really blowing the lid off steroids in baseball.

He's just a joke because he's obviously still trying to cash in on who he was 20 years ago.

Agreed.

Which was the better Canseco moment: when he headed a ball over the fence for a home run, or when he blew out his elbow pitching and had to have surgery?

I feel sorry for his brother Ozzie Canseco, because he looks like him.

ARod will file a lawsuit if Canceco says he did sterroids. Whether he ever did them or not, won't matter as much as his need to get out in front of that issue. No one else has filed a lawsuit against JC. ARod will be the first.

So if A-Rod does steroids, it's okay as long as you don't know about it? That's insane thinking and exactly why MLB is in it's current position.

Just look the other way, if it's a star...

I think alorth said it best...

"I'm inclined to believe Pay-Rod over Canseco on this one. If Canseco had some info on Rodriguez, he would have put it in his first book. At this point, I think he's looking for money and attention."

First, it is a safe bet A-Rod doesn't currently do steroids. His past, I have no idea, and frankly, it doesn't matter.

The current testing system is working and is not skipping baseball's stars --ask Palmero-- and A-Rod is the best player in the game.

Canseco loves the attention and the money, which is cool, who doesn't? Just as long as people don't buy into this trash he's spewing.

So in your opinion, Barry Bonds is free and clear?
