EDIT: Now that I think about it, since the local media has been ripping the A's for not wanting to be the Pirates, I suppose Jenkins is just succumbing to his belief that he is smarter and cleverer than anyone else and thus taking the contrary position.
Evidence, Mr. Jenkins?
Evidence, Mr. Jenkins?
Are you actually going to argue that isn't the case?
There might be very simple answers to that, I haven't kept my finger on the pulse of the issue, but that's how I see it.
Jenkins needs steroids on the Giants to be about Bonds, not about executives and systemic issues, although he does point the finger at New York teams after the Report. Plus, Sabean is probably nice to Jenkins and reasonably accessible, as well as being quotable.
Every clubhouse had problems with steroids. Some problems were obvious and should have been addressed. However, if there is documented evidence that the head trainer is requesting the GM to rid the clubhouse of the drug dealers and the GM ignores that, how can anyone not hold the GM accountable? I don't care if the GM is from the Giants, Dodgers, Red Sox or Yankees... it's one thing to turn a blind eye, but this goes beyond that. And it's unbelievable that people can still defend that.
Worse (at least in terms of approach) was that he said "if you have a problem with it, medical staff, you should fix it." Then medical staff said "you got my back?" And Sabean made it clear that he did not.
Maybe that's a distinction without a difference, but I'd think better of him if he simply appeared to exercise control and failed to actually do so as opposed to just leave someone dangle like that.
For about the last 50 years.
Not that anyone noticed. :-)
It was two years later that Conte told Sabean that he suspected Anderson was dealing steroids, and then Sabean asked him if he could verify this. Conte contacted a DEA friend, who checked into Anderson and said they didn't have any information about Anderson.
Come on Bruce, stick to tennis.
