Who thinks David Ortiz took steriods?

Question:because no one goes from 10 homers to 50 in a year..thats just flat out rediculuous

Answers:

Ortiz never went from 10 to 50 home runs. Starting at age 24 he went 10, 18, 20, 31, 41, 47, 54.

That is a pretty steady and natural progression with the bigges jump (20 to 31) coinciding with a switch from Minnesota to friendly Fenway, playing full time instead of platooning and having Manny Ramirez behind him in the order.

If you look historically at any big home run hitter, you will find a lot of bigger jumps in power numbers as player mature.

So, I don't know if Ortiz did steroids or not, but I don't see anything unusual in his power numbers that suggest it.

EDIT: I'd like to add that I'm a Yankee fan, too, and have the utmost respect for Big Papi as a hitter. But man, they need to brush this guy off the plate once in a while. He's WAAAY to comfortable up there.

I don't think he did but it's not impossible.He did look a little smaller in a Twins uniform then a Red Sox but still,there wasn't a huge jump anywhere.10,18,20,31,41,47,54. is somewhat similar to Travis Hafners climb.28,33,42.So I wouldn't completely rule it out but I don't think he used them.

Will any team in major league baseball win 100 games in 2007...?

You've got a lot of nerve trying to accuse Papi of that! The 50 homers happened through hard work and getting control of his mechanics to go along with his patience at the plate and tremendous strength and bat speed. Besides, no man I have ever seen who is juiced has a belly like Ortiz. He's big, happy, generous and, oh yeah, can straight up HAMMER the ball! Rejoice in a true professional instead of trying to drag him down into the muck and mire with Canseco and that stuck up pig Bonds!
