    I thought we were getting a 1st baseman but this guy looks like Adam Everett's red headed cousin. If Bags can play we won't be getting any power from him. Let's hope he has at least been working on his speed.

    He either quit taking steroids or started smoking crack.

    You would think if he took roids, he would have broken 50 HR's at least once. Personally, I don't believe it but that might be the homer in me.

    He's got the Roids poster boy progression to his career arc, no question.

    skinny kid - gets HUMONGOUS all of a sudden, adds on 30-50 lbs of solid muscle - then as steroid scrutiny begins, chronic injuries pile up, body breaks down - shrinks back down to normal size.

    i do think that Jeff did steroids BUT his shoulder broke down before the crack down so I'm not sure that it's fair to point to his musscle loss as proof

    The guy can't lift any weights, of course he's going to get smaller. I'm not surprised by it at all.

    That's what I was thinking. I've seen him on TV recently and he didn't look that skinny.

    I really like bagwell. I don't know if that picture's real, but Sam's right that guy is a poster child for a roid career. and no one questions him. I never really questioned bagwell much but a caller brought it up on 610 about his shoulder maybe a case of steroid use and it really made me start to think.

    He looks skinny, but that has to be the effect of the big and "baggy" shirt.
