Numbers On Steroids: Gary Sheffield

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you.

It's time to return back to the 1990s and look at the players associated with roiding. Today we go with caught steroid abuser Gary Sheffield.

Averages Say: Look at that convenient spike in 2000.

At Bats Per Home Run Says: Hmm Steroid Testing in 2004 and up go the ABs per HR

Explaining It Away

If you're looking outside of steroid use for a reason why in his age 31 season he all of a sudden had a massive resurgence, than umm well I got nothing really. I was going to look for a contract year, but no dice If you're looking at the massive resurgence in his year 34 season, than that could be when it was all about the benjamins. He had the massive year, got the Yankees money and then started to dip off each year following.

The Verdict

The Verdict is obvious, we know he did it. Even if we didn't know however, the massive jump back into 'prime' numbers at the age of 31 after a falloff the previous seasons is very questionable.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
