...and more than a little suspicious.

Sorta like the company I used to work for.  Several college educated managers and office staff, as well as dozens of laborers.  When "random" drug testing time came around every month, I would always be peeing in a cup next to the same guys, while the laborers are out smoking doobies in the warehouse.  All the while our corporate literature was touting the company's sterling record on drug testing.

I think it's more a case that the guys who get caught- 25th man types- are the ones who really would stand to benefit from using steroids. They're the kind of player that a stat boost could mean the difference between being a AAA lifer, or being an MLB bench player for a few seasons.

Same with the bullpen guys who get caught- they're often back-end types that a steroid boost can turn them from AAA journeyman to MLB middle reliever.

I don't think steroids can take a marginal player and make them a star, but they can take a marginal player and make them good enough to hang around the back end of an MLB roster long enough to get a pension.

that baseball cares. Selig took care of that.
