Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, December 15, 2007
Former Oriole David Segui is mentioned continually throughout baseball’s newly released Mitchell Report on steroids, but what irks him most is that his ex-teammate Brian Roberts is also implicated as a drug user based on what Segui believes is a combination of hearsay and inaccuracies from a trusted mutual friend.
...
“By far that’s the thing that’s bothered me the most about the whole entire thing,” Segui said today. “[Bigbie] threw Brian Roberts’ name out on complete hearsay. Calling it hearsay would be giving it more credibility than it deserves. I’m at a loss as to why Brian Roberts’ name would come out of his mouth.”
...
Segui said that much [of what Bigbie says in the Report] is true, and he admitted to educating Bigbie on steroids—after the rookie persisted—and giving Bigbie a sample of his own stash while Bigbie waited on his first shipment from Radomski. But Segui contends that several other statements were fabricated, including the large quantity of steroids Bigbie initially took and allegations that Segui injected Bigbie and oversaw the rookie’s drug cycles.
...
“Brian Roberts has never met Kirk Radomski, at least not in my presence,” said Segui… “And I don’t know wherever else he would have met him.”
He refrained from offering more discrepancies to Bigbie’s statements, instead saying he wanted to focus on Roberts.
“I’m not worried about damage control on my part, I don’t care about that,” Segui said. “What I care about is Brian Roberts. He is the kind of guy you want your daughter to marry. He is the kind of guy you want your son to grow up to be. Leave him out of this (stuff). He has nothing to do with this.”

1. DKDC Posted: December 15, 2007 at 06:12 AM (#2646289)My favorite part is this:
Mistaking an eleven-year-old for Brian Roberts is just priceless.
Bigbie probably couldn't understand why "Roberts" wasn't interested in the hot women he was pointing out at lunch, though...
(nor why Segui kept kicking him under the table in the leg after those comments)
Son, you go talk to that nice man in the alley with his pants around his ankles. Daddy's got some grownup business to take care of.
Damn, that is funny/horrible.
