Is Yasiel Puig hiding anything?

[HammerDown]

Age? PEDs? You can't tell me there's not question about both.

Personally, I hope he's 100 legit on both fronts but I'm struggling with both at this point. I think he's this generation's Miguel Tejada. Something just isn't right about this whole thing. He's crushing records that were made in the "steroid era" daily and he looks like he's 27.

Am I alone?

I HOPE he is hiding something. That being, younger brothers that are even better ballplayers than he is!

Yasiel Puig joined twitter today. Here's his profile pic. But I'm certainly not insinuating anything here.

It's amazing that Puig continues to shatter records after his first 20 games. And with just raw talent, right?

hope they wait until next year to bust him, since I don't have him in a keeper league

Soley going off the picture above (and yes it could be how it was taken) you do have to wonder looking at him if he is on something. But let's face it, what MLB player does not have such a suspicion lingering around their head?

I beat he is older than he is... Like that Little League kid who was really want 16 and said he was 11 or 12

 

[redseat]

*if beat IF ANYTHING he is older than he is

 

[HammerDown]

He's not a day less than 27.

 

[fordman84]

Maybe he just has Greg Oden disease?

He's not a day less than 27.

That would just effect the numbers of his contract. Not his performance, and those of us who are actually enjoying it.

Just saying...

I have said this in many Steroid threads in the past... i think it is stupid for latin players not to take steroids and PEDs... their lives here are too important, whether it is to save his family or just live a better life than he did in his native land...

Any player really. If taking PEDs is the difference between floudering around in mediocrity or setting yourself and your family up financially for the rest of your lives why in God's name would you not do it?

He's a baseball player from the Caribbean smashing all-time MLB records set by players who juiced. Draw your own conclusions.

Looks like Matt Bush chose the wrong drugs to abuse then?

Signed,

Still liking the "innocent until proven guilty" part of the American legal system.

He's also sporting a babip of .509. He's played what, 20 games? He's just really hot right now and an incredible athlete. Teams don't have a book on him yet. He'll come back down to earth.

Agreed. Just an otherwise unknown kid, who is in phenominal shape, and has a ton of physical gifts. Whether or if there is something else helping him, I myself will choose to wait for it to be proven to pass any sort of judgment.

I know different positions but also look at Strasburg. Came out of the gate on fire... and now look at him.. Injuries not withstanding
