    Joe Mauer- the most obvious case of steroid use ever?

    He has currently gone 53 straight games (going back to last year) without a HR.

    His 2009 season is starting to stick out like a sore thumb. Mauer should thank his lucky stars he is playing in Minnesota. Could you imagine if this putz was in NY or Boston?

    AB per HR:
    2005 - 54.3
    2006 - 40.1
    2007 - 58.0
    2008 - 59.6
    2009 - 18.7 CONTRACT YEAR
    2010 - 56.7
    2011 - 98.7
    2012 - 54.5
    2013 - 40.5
    2014 - 113.8

    It's almost every major league baseball player once he gets a big contract he cannot hit any more

    lol, wow big deal. Look at Brady Anderon's surge, or Bonds, like mentioned. Hell a case for Jose Bautista would be stronger than Mauer

    It will be interesting in the 2020 decade when all steroid users of the last 20 years start having heart attacks and dying. Lots of funerals on the horizon.

    Ryan Howard. Actually he just got fat and everyone finally figured out he can't hit a breaking ball and can't hit to left field to save his life. If he could bunt to the third base bag he could actually walk to first every at bat, but big boy can't figure that out.

    2008-09 Steroids and HGH and Pro Hormones.... you could get them anywhere. Wouldn't doubt it. People still don't understand that Steroids also make you a better contact hitter.

    Extremely ignorant statement, but expected from you.

    Anyone who properly uses HGH or steroids properly will not suffer the consequences you speak of.

    Steroid use does not = steroid abuse.

    I have to vote no. But, I am a Twins fan. Some stars don't shine bright for very long. Morneau was a really good Twin until the conscussions then he was never the same. Mauer has had a bunch of injuries. When you watch him - he hits a lot of nice line drives - just not home run distance. I think he hits the way you should hit - go for a nice base hit every time. If he swings for home runs - would his average drop about 50 points?

    See, not even close to as drastic as Mauer's.

    I don't think people realize just how pathetic Mauer is as a hitter now. Last year he was deplorable and this year he is dreadful. He doesn't even hit .300 anymore, let alone .330. And forget HR's, he can't even hit doubles. He has 2 extra base hits all year. His OBP is 100 points higher than his SLG %.

    He was without a doubt on something in 2009.

    So Mauer's brain injuries have nothing to do with it?
    Mauer doesn't see right anymore. He has mood swings because of concussions, etc. etc. etc.

    But let's just ignore the fact that Mauer has a damaged brain, let's just blame it on steroids and ignore the facts.

    OP is an idiot.

    Do some research next time before passing judgement.

    That won't happen. They aren't that bad for you.

    The general public that sits on their ass eating McDonalds and smoking cigarettes is just uniformed.

    All the the fast food and processed shit people eat today is way worse than steroids. The side effects are minimal. In the 80s the FDA recommended that they not be a controlled substance.

    Why aren't profeesional bodybuilders dropping dead? How are Arnold and Stallone still living?

    Professional wrestlers die but that's because must of those guys use hardcore recreational drugs like cocaine. It's not the roids.

    Where is the evidence that steroids kill people? McGwire, Bonds, Bagwell, Clemens, Canseco, etc are all living healthy lives.

    Just look at Mauer's medical history since 2010.
    Concussions, contusions, knee, head, neck, back.

    But let's just ignore the facts, just lump him in with other juicers.

    F'n assholes here have no idea what they are talking about.

    I can almost guarantee Maurer didn't juice and I am pretty knowledgable on the topic.

    If anything, roids would have aided in recovery so he would have came back quicker.

    People don't know wtf they are talking about.

    The same people that think people that juicers are going to drop dead are are probably sitting on their fat assea downing a Big Mac, coke, and French fries.

    Brady Anderson
    Javier Lopez
    Brett Boone
    Jason Giambi
    Luis Gonzalez
    Jason Giambi
    Canseco
    Pudge
    McGwire
    Clemens
    Etc

    Not Mauer morons.

    Lets get the same stats on players that were proven to use. Like Canseco. Interested to see a side-by-side from proven to suspicious players.
