I'm a little surprised by the results so far, seems like people don't mind. I think it is extremely shameful that PED's have ruined baseball for almost a whole decade. Thus, I try my best to avoid anyone who has been accused or rumored of testing positive for PED's. Yet, since Fantasy Baseball is a competition, you have to be competitive, therefor I might consider adding someone to my team that has been accused or rumored of testing positive of PED's- if I'm desperate.
I know I'm going against the grain of what the majority said, but I am a baseball traditionalist. I think it is a game of skill, not a game of morals, or what is right or wrong. What would people like Joe DiMaggio or Babe Ruth say if they came back and were told that people cheated to become "good" or "the best of our time"? They'd probably keel over and die again.
kudos Jon, 1 more vote on your side, but when it comes to fantasy baseball, i think it's "all bets are off" for them, at least i didn't see players get dumped for concensual dispise from the league.
BTW, back to that magic Mknx bat subject while back(re: Zobrist), now that Drew Sutton is up in majors, watch out!! LOL~
@Elbert Shhhh, I'm working on the Drew Suttonpost right now. Hoping he'll become my property tonight in my NL-only.
@Joel I know how you feel, I know PED use has robbed a lot of people of their enjoyment. Though I am not one of them, I would gladly go back to the days (the 90's?) when if players were using, no one was talking about it.
