Have these imbeciles forgotten Sammy's extraordinary physical growth? How about the cork bat? And how about the fact poor Sammy couldn't understand or speak English when "testifying" to Congress about steroids. Give me a break!

There are a lot of guys who can bench press 300 pounds in the NBA who couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie. Kevin's the best player in the draft -- period, at any position."

Well said Rick.
