canseco rolls ... again
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2953302
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. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Does Canseco not make the hall because of this steroids stuff, or because of his stats, or a combination? Personally, I think his numbers are Hall worthy (if only on the fringe). I don't think he gets in though because of the roids. ![]() |

Wait until Bonds becomes eligible. You think he stands a chance? He's one of the best players to ever play the game, and if writers had to vote today, I'd say his chance of getting in the Hall are less than 30%. |

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.

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. |
