My point is this: If Rizzo had said the same thing, we wouldn't have Michael Morse on the squad. He popped three times for steroids. Rizzo did his homework and took a chance. It has paid off.
And I don't want Melky. Not because he popped for synthetic testosterone, which is about the most maskable PED ever, but because of the crap that he did to try and cover it up instead of admitting it. That's the difference between the two.
But this crap about Melky not being good before is just that. Crap. He's steadily improved since leaving the Braves. Posted a 4 WAR season with the Royals without popping on a test.
