N.Y. Times: Cheers for Ramirez in San Diego, but Certainly Not From the Padres

This is not likely to endear him to many fans, and it has bothered some opposing players.

“There doesn’t seem to be genuine remorse,” Padres pitcher Chris Young said. “The guy could set a great example and come out and say what I did was wrong, explain what he did, why he did it and show — especially the kids out there — that this is wrong. But kids aren’t hearing anything like that out of his mouth, and it sets a horrible example.

“It’s unfortunate because the guy has the power and the superstardom to really set the example and become an outspoken advocate against steroid use, but he’s going to hide behind Scott Boras,” referring to Ramirez’s agent. “It’s shameful.”
