Yup but I'm holding onto him for the SBs in h2h categories, I got Dee Gordon but between him and Marte I think I will be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colepenhagen 3,518 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 hell of a week... could come up huge for the stretch run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B&F 887 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 What is interesting is these guys come off PEDs and play just as well as when they are on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffr913 131 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Great weekend, lets keep it up Marte!!! Glad I picked you up literally the day before you came back from suspension (don't know why no other owners made the move) but lets go! Pretty much anything else besides the SBs is extra credit.

He's not... Collecting plenty hits the last few games, but he still sits at .094 ISO, easily a career worst, he is a career .153 ISO. He could be a good contributor down the stretch, especially with SB, but he's not performing just as well as he was in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh right right, loss of power has nothing to do with PEDs. Keep living in fantasy land. Don't forget to leave out milk and cookies on December 24. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget to leave out milk and cookies on December 24. Um, it doesn't. Especially in this short of a time frame. It's not like he just stopped taking steroids and it deflated his muscles or something. People are so naive about how PED's affect the body and performance. The gains he made and muscular growth will retain as he continues to work out, especially within a few months of stopping. It's also not like he's hitting a bunch of warning track shots that would have been out of the park with a little bit more strength lol. I don't understand why you're being rude to him when you're in the wrong... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtblock 444 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He has been subpar so far. Nothing different than guys that struggle in April and then get hot in May. I think you're leaning a little too hard on the PEDs here. He has been on fire the last week though. He was on my future cut list when Turner comes back, but I am starting to have some hope. If he can use this last week to springboard into an awesome September, no one will know the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not in the wrong about the benefits of PEDs... and it's not just a few months, you are looking at about a half year from the time he would have tested positive, there is an appeals process that carries on and delays the suspension so he wasn't tested then immediately suspended. Didn't know he was joking and being sarcastic so my apologies on that to @BlueJaysIn2030, went right over my head thought he was serious lol. My bad.

Never been a fan of the narrative that it increases contact or makes a guy go from a nothing to a star, but I can definitely see it increasing power/strength. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chud12 4,076 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Man this guy pretty much sucks. Hope he bounces back next year like Dee has. Sad I waited so long for such meh production. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
