No matter what you think of him, he was a pretty good player in his early days.

Drugs, mmmm,...Bad
 
The PED use isn’t why he’s so universally hated. I mean, people seem to live David Ortiz and Yadier Molina

It’s how he handled the situation when he got caught and tried to ruin the life of some poor lab worker.

The only two players I truly despise because of their PED association is Ryan Braun because of what I stated and Jose Camargo because he was a snitch

But this year might have been his best chance to get a ring!

Guy was a douche. Wasn't he still being booed at visiting ballparks?

No love (hate) for Miguel Tejada or Barry Bonds?

Nope. Indifferent on Tejada. Barry is the most dominant player I’ve ever seen

to be fair, apparently I've sucked off Jorge Soler so much that Johan got autocorrected.

I’d be lying if I said I expected anything good from Soler. Huge pleasant surprise, and he’s not near the defensive liability Ozuna was

I agree post 2012. However, his early days were pre-douchenozzle. First 6 years of his career was outstanding.

Yeah, but courtesy of BALCO, and the 'cream and clear'. It's sad commentary that Bonds was more likable for wearing a suit of armor at the plate and having a private locker room.

The second half (steroid-taking cheater) soils the reputation of the first half. Same as Barry Bonds.

He might have been the worst defensive third baseman I’ve ever seen in action. Ryan Zimmerman was close after he had that injury and couldn’t throw anymore

The days when the left side of the Nats infield was Ian Desmond and Ryan Zimmerman, a routine grounder that way was pretty good odds of reaching via error

I think roids should be mandatory or at least highly encouraged. But don’t rat anyone out and don’t try to ruin the life of someone who makes a whole lot less money than you

I get that. Doesn't change the fact that he was a good player his first 6 years.
 
If he hadn't thrown people under the bus and ruined people's careers trying to cover up his cheating, I could have forgiven him.

I'm glad he'll never wear a Brewers uni again.
 
Rodgers still owes money on account of this dewsher.
