Heyman on CNNSI

Former American League MVP Miguel Tejada is mentioned in the Mitchell Report, due to be released by 2 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, SI.com has learned.

 

Seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens, plus Andy Pettitte, who just re-signed with the Yankees, are in the steroids reports, SI.com has confirmed, as are ex-Yankees Mike Stanton, Chuck Knoblauch and Jason Grimsley.

 

Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts also is in the report, as is Yankees and Braves postseason hero David Justice.

 

Tejada spent the past four seasons with the Orioles and was acquired in trade by the Astros this week for five players.

 

In 2006, the Los Angeles Times reported that Grimsley had accused six players, including Clemens and Pettitte, in a federal agent's affidavit as players who had used performance-enhancing drugs. Both Clemens and Pettitte denied the rumors at the time.

 

Pettitte, who in September reached the 200-win mark, recently agreed to return to the Yankees for one year and $16 million after mulling retirement for at least the second time in recent years. He has long credited Clemens, his longtime friend and teammate, with boosting his workout regimen and enabling him to stay in better shape. The two men have both worked with trainer Brian McNamee, who has also reportedly been linked to figures in the Mitchell Report.

 

Clemens, who has not made a decision yet whether to play in 2008, has maintained his famously rigorous workout routine and credits his long hours in the gym with helping him continue to perform at a high level. He initially retired after the 2003 season, but, thanks in large measure to Pettitte's persuasion, joined the Astros instead and won the 2004 NL Cy Young at age 42. He joined the Yankees in June of this season and finished 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA, then had to leave his start during Game 3 of the AL Division Series with a hamstring injury in the third inning.

 

Rafael Palmeiro, who was suspended by MLB for failing a drug test just weeks after reaching the 3,000-hit mark, had angrily denied using steroids during an appearance before Congress in March of 2005. After his suspension later that summer, he speculated he might have tested positive after receiving a B-12 shot from Tejada, who was his teammate with the Orioles in 2004 and 2005. B-12 isn't a steroid or illegal, and subsequent searches of Tejada's other vials of B-12 found no traces of steroids.

 

Stanton has pitched for eight different teams over a 19-year-career and was once one of the game's premiere left-handed set-up men. Roberts is a switch-hitting speedster and two-time All-Star who had hit just 12 home runs in 1,502 at-bats through 2004 -- with a career high of five -- before breaking out for 18 in 2005, including seven in April alone.

 

Tejada won the 2002 AL MVP award with Oakland and drove in no fewer than 98 runs between 2000 and 2006. After playing 1,152 straight games, Tejada landed on the disabled list with a broken wrist this season after being hit by a pitch. He finished the 2007 season batting .296 with 18 HRs and 81 RBI in 133 games.

I for one am fed up with hearing that Barry Bonds is being prosecuted unfairly for steroid use. He is being prosecuted for lying to a federal grand jury!!! He and Giambi were both in the same boat, both had immunity from prosecution for telling the truth, they chose different paths and now Barry should realize they weren't screwing around about the consequences of lying. Giambi did the smart thing, told the truth and even, somewhat, apologized for his steroid use. No, Giambi did not "admit" using steroids, but he also didn't disclose his testimony, he walked a fine line, but anyone with any common sense at all could ascertain what he was apologizing for. So for all of you Barry Bonds sympathizers, get over it, he lied, had the chance to tell the truth, free from prosecution, and chose not to abide by the rules. Deal with it!

JHB-....since the Bonds saga has been probably the most publicized event in sports over the past few years' date=' and also one of the most publicized courtroom events...doesn't indicting him for perjury have GREAT value to our nation (unlike the initial hearing which was a waste of taxpayer dollars, IMHO), with that value being- "Tell the truth, and don't ever lie on the stand" ?????[/quote']

 

 

If that were the goal, any past US President who commited perjury should've been prosecuted. The bigger the fall from glory, the greater the lesson. :rolleyes:

 

I disagree with your perspective. If Bonds is worth prosecuting, certainly so is Sheffield...and before either, let's prosecute all those who lied under oath to try to earn acquittals for guilty felons whose actions caused the deaths of others. Right now that's not being done.

I do not like Bonds - don't get me wrong. I think he should go to prison for violating the law of the country. But when it comes to HOF - I just want the same standards for him and Rocket. Both juiced up - so either both are in or both are out. That's all.

Did a quick PDF search for Tek's name.

 

It didn't find it.

 

EDIT: No hits for "Jeter" "Ortiz" "Rodriguez" "Pujols" "Santana" or most of the other players I can think of.

 

Obviously haven't digested the whole thing yet, but there are specific names listed after page 140 or so. David Segui, Roger Clemens, etc.,

Damn this is a let down... I mean it's good to know that for the time being, most of our favorites aren't on the list. But I was expecting to see A-Rod, Garciaparra, Abreu, and a bunch more better known names.

I think the fact that he protected Kapler is just astounding. this report is an absolute joke and huge letdown

 

Are you serious? You're not gonna let it down are you? Just be happy A-Rod and Abreu aren't listed like they should be.

Heed your own advice, why dontcha? Your Arod and Abreu obsession while extolling someone for having their own axe to grind is 100% ironical.
