Regardless of what team anyone is on I wouldn't publicly connect them with steroids unless I had some kind of proof that he'd been using. That's the kind of innuendo that can ruin a guy's reputation.
IOW I wouldn't say so even if I did. I find no need to repeat every unfounded suspicion I have.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

I never assume any individual player is on steroids without sufficient evidence. And that evidence cannot come in the form of statistical improvement or elite performance alone.
However, I do strongly suspect multiple players throughout the league continue to use and manage tobeat the system
I'm sure it is and always has been pretty much a collective problem. PEDs have gotta be around because so many are undetectable. The numbers of players involved from periods to periods may change but no doubt it is NOT an individual problem. And it's too bad the League cherry picks individuals to be their object lessons while others go untainted.
Judge will be or is suspect already just because of his sudden rise at age 25. The Yanks entered spring training this year thinking they would have to send Judge back to the minors just so he could hit everyday (ha ha) But he sure is big enough to hit all these homers... maybe he just found a good hitting coach.
Steroids or no steroids, I don't want Judge on the Red Sox. I don't want any stinking Yankee on the Red Sox.
You didn't love Don Baylor? (RIP)Steroids or no steroids, I don't want Judge on the Red Sox. I don't want any stinking Yankee on the Red Sox.
Also Tony Armas Jr helped us get Pedro (and keep him off the Yankees)...
He's on the Yankees. Surely he has been to their clinic in Miami....
other names i have posted under: none
I've long suspected there's something fishy in the Yankee clubhouse water fountain.
Every time some player shows a power surge mid-career, the steroid chatter begins. Judge, obviously, is a bit early for that. But Jose Bautista certainly was a hot topic. Like there was no other way. And it's so unprecedented. Right?
By that logic, Roger Maris was clearly on steroids.
And Babe Ruth...
Look at Judge's massive and malformed head!
And the gapped teeth.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
What a stupid thread. He’s a massive human being. He should have power.
By that logic, Jose Canseco is not on steroids.
Several years ago, my wife (who is legally blind) and I went to see the Red Sox play the While Sox at the Cell. We sat out in right field. She couldn't see much but the one player she could recognize due to his sheer massive size was Jose Csnseco (who was on the White Sox at the time). And I had to agree. His massive volume clearly seperate him from everyone else on the field.
THAT might be the best steroid test. If you can be recognized from 300 feet away by a legally blind person, you're definitely juicing...
The point of the thread was missed, but that's fine. I think Judge's season is suspicious, but you could say the same about Stanton. The problem is any time HR totals near the bad old days of McGwire and Sosa and Bonds, there's going to be that suspicion, even if it's unfounded. As noted, players across the league are swinging for the fences more than ever and some think the ball is doctored.
But my point was would we overlook the suspicion if he was our guy.
