In my view, guys like him are the reason why baseball isn't completely dead. He could definitely take the PED route for his chronic knee problem but he won't because he's just that kind of player.<br /><br />There are also guys out there like CJ Wilson and Josh Hamilton that are special in their own right because they have openly stated their drug-free lifestyle and have proven to be natural players out on the field.<br /><br />It's pretty sad that one bad apple eventually spoils the whole bunch.The Sports Nut Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712501044773745806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316967936515556841.post-4735685947337922782012-07-01T10:20:56.104-04:002012-07-01T10:20:56.104-04:00Steroids have ruined the credibility of Major Leag...Steroids have ruined the credibility of Major League Baseball completely. No star today can perform at high level without the questions of whether or not they used PEDs. How soon after Braun won the MVP award this past year did the report of substance abuse? For some, PEDs helped propel them from constant performer, to MVP type candidates. These are the athletes we get most upset and angry with, since their paychecks skyrocket millions and they've become the faces of the game.<br /><br />But what about guys like Freddy Galvis? The potential career minor league-er (in AAA) who really make no more than an average recent college graduate (it's even lower for AA and A). Should these guys be thrown into the flames of the media for taking a chance from trying to get salaries increased from around 30,000 to the Major League minimum of 110,000. If you notice no-one is really talking much about Galvis' suspension. An he's going to fade back into obscurity this year with Utley playing again.tikitakafan17https://www.blogger.com/profile/06710254081056252014noreply@blogger.com
