Rob Manfred has only been Commissioner two weeks, and he's already coming across as someone people better get a long look at, especially if this Yardbarker piece has anything to say about it.
On surface, he's talking about how he disagrees with BBWAA voters are denying Hall of Fame induction to those only believed to be steroid users (the likes of Mike Piazza and Jeff "30 Pounds of Meat Daily" Bagwell), rather than those either with positive tests, Mitchell Report implications, what have you.
Well, now we need to look at Manfred's agenda: OFFENSE. Increase runs...
Well, my anonymous friend -- my massive baseball historian anonymous friend -- showed me this and we both came to the same conclusion:
He wants to bring back the Steroid Era.
Now, he may not be able to do this as obviously or as quickly as he'd like. The MLBPA head is firmly against steroid users, and any real uptick in steroid use now in baseball will be (correctly!) traced back to this Commissioner.
So, we both came up with something: It's either going to be juiced players and/or juiced balls -- and I think we gave it two years.
Time to investigate Rob "Blinded By The Light" Manfred. NOW.
