Bryce Harper the next poster boy for roids?

[RegentDenali]

Those pics kind of speak for themselves.

Last year:

Just showed up for 2014 camp looking like this:

Naw. Can't be the juice. That's just diet and training..... Ignore that Barry Bonds bloated neck and head.

 

[TDs3nOut]

Possible, of course, but I don't think that those pics are strong evidence that Harper is juicing. I tend to believe in an "innocent until proven guilty" standard, so I'll reserve judgement on any player until he fails a test.

I don't see much difference in the pics presented. Except that he is turning his head in the second.

Well, time to move Bryce up on my draft board.

 

[Lemon Harang Pie]

If there's much of a difference at all it's negligible.

I don't see it.

I agree with OP that his neck and head do look bigger, but his arms and upper body look similar, one pic looks like hes wearing a tighter shirt thats all.

Ok in the picture steveringo posted his neck and head look the same size

Thats not saying the guy hasnt used in the past, with athletes its really gotten to the point at least for me that the need to prove their innocence. Im not a jury or a judge so I may have that mindset

 

[gvsulaker82]

He is massive tho, hes going to put up monster numbers with his talent and those forearms.

 

[ckhokie]

Regardless of how big his head and neck are, they will still always be smaller than the CF wall.

Hopefully he can eclipse 60 RBIs this year, again batting in the 3 spot.

Hes still ridiculously young, I wouldnt be quite ready to hop on that train yet but when he figures it out, wow.

 

[StanMarsh51]

Hopefully he can eclipse 60 RBIs this year, again batting in the 3 spot.

In all fairness,
A) He had under 400 PAs last year batting 3rd/4th
B) The combined OBPs of the Nats #1 and #2 hitters was like .310

 

[broncosmitty]

Is he hurt yet? Im sure he is.

It would take years of HGH abuse to make someone's head noticeably larger but how can you even make this statement when they're looking in different directions in the pictures and the neck isn't even visible in the first because it was taken straight on as he looks down?

 

[HammerDown]

You'll find out quickly on this board that it is EXTREMELY unpopular to even insinuate that {gasp} baseball players use PEDs. And make sure you NEVER even JOKE about the St. Louis Cardinals using them. They are a notch above any reproach. I truly believe some of these clowns are still in denial that Rafael was using. I shit you not, it's absolutely unreal how naive some of these guys are.

"Until someone fails a test, they're innocent."

Amazing.
