Absolutely. I don't know how if you are an anti-steriods person you can look at David Ortiz's numbers and not think it's fishy (also, he was in the Mitchell report). Dude was a league average hitter in Minnesota, goes to Boston (with noted steroid user Manny Ramirez!) and becomes one of the best hitters in Baseball. Get's to the late 2010s, is so bad he was probably a week or two from being out of Baseball, and eventually from ages 36-40 is as good as he's ever been. Sure.
I'm in the camp of letting steroid users in, especially if they are alleged or admitted to using pre 2005 when it wasn't against the rules. or if it's obvious steroids or no steroids they were a HOFer (Manny/ARod), but people like Rats sitting here saying no to Bonds but not a peep about Ortiz is as laughable and hypocritical as it gets.
