Rafael Palmeiro

They actually found the drug Winstrol in his system. The same exact drug Canseco said he taught Palmeiro and Ivan Rodriguez how to use back in the early 90's in Texas.

 

same as Todd Sauerbrun

 

Didn't he used to be basically a singles only hitter, then all of the sudden start hitting bombs a while back?

 

He has always been a good hitter with decent pop. Did'nt have the HRs that jumped out at you but has been consistent throughout.

 

Here are his numbers from baseball reference - I added the last 2 columns which are % AB's with homers and % hits that were homers.

VP did you get the BA for each year? That's his claim to fame.
