    I don't know if he used them, but because of guys in his era who did, it makes you wonder. That's unfortunate for the guys who played a clean game.

    Do you root for guys who use PEDs?

    He was hepped up on Adderall his entire career...that's banned PED, but he had a doctor's OK for it because of his "ADD". It's a fine line if you want to draw it that way.

    I absolutely rooted for Cammy when he came back, so there's that.

    My cousin hosted paulino when he was on the hooks. He's a very good guy from my understanding anytime my grandma or anyone wanted tickets he would put them with the family section with altuves wife and other family to the Astros players.

    I actually believe that, but what I can't understand is why the organization doesn't have a medical staff that checks the "supplements" and makes sure they're MLB approved, and educates them on what they can take in the offseason and what they can't.

    If it's to heal an injury, I don't mind but that's a thin line I understand.

    Because they think they can beat the system. I know it has been mentioned in other cases that teams provide approved lists. The union I believe provides a list. They don't care.

    No one ever expects they'll be the one that a condom doesn't work. Testing only catches a user a small percentage of the time.

    Are we sure Paulino, without PED's, is good?

    We don't know if Paulino with PEDs is any good.

    He’ll be back on the radar next season. His best days are ahead for him.

    Pitchers are delicate and there are always at least nagging injuries. Depth is always important to a team. I’m sure Paulino will get another shot at the big leagues.

    Martes, Paulino, will be on the speed dial as soon as pitching depth is needed.

    Is he good on drugs?
    Is he good off drugs?
    Is he good healthy?
    Is he good hurt?
    Is he good?

    Did I miss anything?

    Does he take drugs to just get healthy? Or does he take drugs because he’s just not good enough?

    That’s about it.
