M's pitcher.

He really doesn't seem like the type to use steroids. At this point, I'd have to say that I think the testing is a bit flawed. Remember that first guy that got caught from the D-Rays? I don't think he was on the juice either.

who needs drug testing? all we need is the "Bammer Eye Test".

Sounds good. MLB could hire me for that, but I'm not cheap.

The guy from the d-rays admitted it. He used it so his body would recover from an injury he had quicker. Not all steroid use is for muscle mass.

the same reason big mac was taking andro i think. the way it was told to me, andro didnt help build muscle tissue, but it did help in the recovery or something..

Good call. I guess that's why pitchers would use 'roids.

I was addressing Franklin's personality though...he seems like a really humble, nice guy. I wouldn't have tabbed him as a 'roider.

True...but he had all the tats & long hair...he's a partier...plus he's a hitter - so his 'roid confession wasn't a huge surprise.

OK fine...throw in the fact that he (Giambi) is a big beefy power hitter. Now, I think you'd agree he's a much more obvious candidate than Ryan Franklin for a steroid user.

This might just indicate that Jose Canseco wasn't far off when he estimated the percentage of major leaguers on steroids. It's not just the pumped up players, people.

No kidding. Most people aren't familiar w/ the name...I was just saying he (Ryan Franklin) struck me as a strange candidate for testing + for 'roids.

Damn, unless there's a flaw with the test, there's more guys juicing that I thought. Bump it up to 87%.

He isn't a guy I'd think of either. But, since they won't tell what they tested positive for.....??? who knows.

I saw on ESPN that the Mariner organization leads baseball in suspensions. I'm not sure if that means anything tho. Just sorta interesting.
