Numbers On Steroids: Miguel Tejada

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

Vitamin B12 hit a home run in the WBC this weekend off the Pontoon so let's take a look at his stats and see when he started enjoying the B12.

Averages Say: The Steady Decline Starting in 05

At Bats Per Home Run Says: The Power is Fading Fast

Explaining It Away

Looking at Tejada's stats I don't think much jumps out at you. He ramped up at the start of his career and started to hit his prime at the age of 26. He held on to those peak numbers for 7 seasons plus a little bonus pop from moving from Oakland to Baltimore. He then started the true decline in 2007 and 2008 when he was 33 in Dominican Years, or 47 in American years. There aren't any questionable spikes, just a ramp up a steady peak and a ramp down. That's how you picture most careers to work.

The Verdict

Miggy was both thrown under the bus by Mr. Palmeiro and taken to task by both Congress and the Mitchell Report. He obviously took something whether that be steroids or HGH. He likely took it in 2000 when he played with Giambi and the likes in the Bay Area and he obviously continued it with the Oreos.

Yummy, B12 Is So Delicious

During exercise workout, you will break down muscle tissue by producing micro tears. After you perform a strenuous physical activity, your muscles automatically get into “repair mode” and so you will need ample amount of protein to aid your body’s muscle repair. This will prevent your muscles from breaking down further to create fuel in lieu to lost glycogen.

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...
