Is Manny Manny without help of PEDs?


Manny Ramirez has been a consistent double-digit home runner for most of his career with his peak performance between 1998 - 2005. Now he's coming off a 50-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy. In his past two outings, he's 0 for. Doesn't matter what that last number is, he hasn't hit anything with speed or flight on it.

You either love him or hate him. Some baseball fans aren't impressed with his selfish attitude. Some have put up with it because of his numbers and his contribution to the teams he's been a part of. He may run his mouth but he could at least back it up... until we found out there was something behind that talent. Now, I doubt anyone will have tolerance for anything Manny Ramirez does. What I'm wondering is will he be able to repeat his performance without the help of PEDs or has Manny run his course?

Another question to ponder...

Will Manny continue to be the same "uncooperative" Manny or does he know he doesn't have a leg to stand on with that attitude now he's been busted?

I've said for a long time that I thought Manny was on PEDs. He was thin in Clevelend and when he left he was noticeably getting bigger. If I am right, no I don't think he will. The problem is, in Cleveland he was a great overall player. But he was younger. His skills have diminished but he became a power hitter. I think he will decline.

I don't see his attitude changing in the least. Manny is who he is whether folks like it or not. That's the one thing that I think will NOT change, his attitude
