You're a product. Teams say they care about their players, but it's only true until you stop producing. So it's hard to see a motivation for having your players stop using steroids if it's working for them. |
You're going to be hard pressed to find somebody who hasn't heard the name Padilla and read somewhere that he was the supposed dirty bomber. Padilla is the government's worst nightmare as far as litigation. |

You've got to root for the guy when you see what he's been through just to survive eight or nine years in the big leagues. He'll give me a big hug and tell me he loves me, and I feel the same way about him. |
