[NU Sports] Re: White Sox vs. . . . Everyone (fwd)

[John A. DeGroat]

My only problem with Joe Moorage is his unending defense of Barry 
Bonds.  Otherwise, I think he does great analysis of a game.  On the 
topic of Bonds and drug users, we go see the Wilmington Delaware Blue 
Rocks, a single A farm team of the Red Sox.  Where we sit there are 
invariably scouts from various major league teams watching,  I spoke 
with one of them the other day and he told me that when you start 
watching kids early on at the high school level and all of a sudden they 
balloon up in size, you know its not normal growth. A lot of them are 
using over the counter growth enhancing drugs which he thinks is going 
to crate problems for them in later years.  There wasn't much doubt in 
his mind about Bonds sudden improvement in performance.
