[El Blanco]

Stanton was a Met for about 2 weeks.

Anyway, ya, the whole thing was a dog and pony show. There is nothing that can be considered solid evidence (although, I'm willing to bet Mitchel wouldn't have exposed these names without a little more than the word of a guy copping a plea). Clemens was already brought up last year. Nobody cares about Velarde, Hundely, and Joyner.

I say anyone that you can't confirm after 2003 gets off the hook. After all, the owners and writers knew and didn't do shit until then.

I'm wondering will this turn into an new witch hunt. What if teams use this as bargaining leverage when players negotiate contracts?

"We'd like to give you the money you're asking for, but you've been mentioned in steroid talks. We can't take that chance now."

It doesn't even have to be true. Someone just needs to "leak" it.
