11 former rangers out of 104 players on 30 teams?

Given that most players
play for 3-4 teams, 11/104 probably isn’t any significantly above chance.

The teams appear to be listed by team/division/league
The Rangers only have 4 players from that 2003 team on there (ARod, Palmeiro, Juan Gone, and Everett). Of course, those were three of our putative HOFers at the time.
I’m thinking the large number of key Red Sox members is more troublesome, considering that team’s popularity.

I think you could randomly list 104 player names from 2003 and probably have about 80%+ accuracy.

Maybe you became a "big name"
by being on steroids?
Not that I believe that – I would actually imagine that the majority of users were fringe players, like Juan Rincon and GMJ. But who knows.

Also, I would think there would be more players with Latin American ties
Recalling those that have been suspended that seems to be a theme. Not being racist or anything but availability of steroids down there seems a bit more than in the US (like A-Rod’s story).
Sure, Bonds probably did them but he was supposedly taking undetectable ones. McGwire had ties to his brother that was a bodybuilder.
If anything, the big names would probably be the ones with access to and money for HGH and things that couldn’t be detected. The fringe guys would be taking regular, old steroids.
This seems like a list put together by two guys looking at 2003 rosters and saying to each other “oh yeah, I’m sure that guy took steroids. Put him on the list.”

Hard time believing it
mainly because there are too many big names on there. Sounds stupid I know, but the test was a relatively small number of players and to have that many big names within that group is strange. Makes it seem as if every good player from that era was conveniently in the test group.
Reminds me too much of when the Mitchel Report was about to come out. Throw all the good names about and maybe some of them will stick when the truth is known.

Or, perhaps, Burnitz was especially egregious.

103 postive tests, 104 different places a player played.
Burnitz played for the Dodgers and Mets that year. That in itself peaks my interest more now, than before I looked it up.
This seems like a list that would be submitted to each team of who tested positive that was compiled together.
I find this actually more creditable now than I did before. If you where making up a list of players, I doubt that I would double check to see if a guy got traded.

Not trying to validate the list but
Jeromy Burnitz was traded during the 2003 season. Someone mentioned that the list was sorted by league, division, and team so that might explain him being on there twice.

its funny
because I remember when the original SI story by Verducci came out, Kenny Rogers was one of the main major leaguers that was arguing against it vehemently. Funny how things turn out….

frank catalanotto (really??)
Johnny Damon (hate oak, bos and nyy, but i like the guy)

kenny rogers
bret boone/aaron boone (only because both did it)
roberto alomar (hopefully he didn’t share needles)
barry bonds (say it ain’t so!!!)
andres galaragga (see alou)
shawn green (only like him because he’s jewish)
todd helton (!!!!!!!it was gonna be him or pujols that would win the triple crown some day)
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Donald Fehr
I have no idea why he wasn’t fired the minute the first name was leaked. It was his union’s job to make sure the list was destroyed and they drug their feet. He gave the players the OK to take the test (which they weren’t forced to do as far as I know) with the understanding that it was private. He then betrayed them by not making sure it was destroyed. He should have been there with a cigarette lighter and paper shredder himself to make sure the names were never seen by anyone. That big of a screwup should have gotten him canned immediately.
I doubt the players could sue because I doubt they could find out who leaked it. I believe that numerous law firms have copies and the government has a copy through the BALCO case. Finding out the leak is not going to be easy since I doubt any reporters would give up their sources.
