I know there are the obvious ones (Bonds, Sosa, McGuire, Giambi), but who else do you suspect might have been on steriods throughout the past 20 years and why do you think that?

Some of my thoughts;

Brett Boone; the guy was a doughy average player for years. He average around 12 homers for the first 6 years of his career. All of a sudden, he's built like a brick and is jacking 20 homers, then then 25, then nearly 40? Could it be that he just decided to get dedicated and start working harder?

Brady Anderson: The guy batted .250 most of his career and averaged 14 dingers per season over the course of his career. Then out of nowhere he's suddenly a .300 hitter with 50 jacks in a season.

Rich Aurillia: Another guy who when from basically having no power at all to hitting 20 an and then 37 HR's per season over only a couple of years? Now all of a sudden he's lost all of his power again?

Edgar Martinez: As a Seattlite, I could get shot for bringing up this name, it is tantamount to herecy, but this is a guy who I watched over the years go from a string bean 3rd baseman who hit for average, but not really for power, to a thick guy and muscular guy who was hitting between 25 and 35 homers every year. Could it be that he took steriods to help recover from that terrible leg injury? It wasn't until after that mishap that Mr. Martinez really hit his stride up'd his production.

Roger Clemens: This was a guy who was great when he was young but started to fall off in the last few years of his time with Boston. His Win vs Loss numbers dropped dramatically his ERA was creeping up and his strikeout figures were down. It was largely agreed upon that he was washed up. So he goes to Toronto and suddenly, he's better than he has ever been. His numbers are above his career average in almost all figures. Not to mention he's looking thick and has a noticably thicker neck and rounder face.

That's enough detail for me, but who do you think may have been on the stuff? Remember that this is all in fun and is purely speculatory.
