The Grimsley Trio and Miggie Tejada

I found this interesting post on how the three Baltimore Oriole players named by Jason Grimsley have performed power-wise since being named as supposed steroids users (HT The Big Lead).

Reading the post made me think of two things.

1. How Miguel Tejada's HR power has diminished since Jose Canseco's book came out. In 2004 (the year before Canseco's book Juiced came out) - Tejada hit 34 HR at a clip of 1 HR every 19.2 AB. In 2005 the book comes out and Tejada's HR totals decrease by 8 HR (1 HR every 25.2 AB). Miggies' doubles increased by 10 in 2005 over 2004 to suggest those hits just lacked that extra "oomph" to get over the wall. In 2006 Tejada's HR production again decreased in year over year comparison and this year he has just 5 HR in 213 AB (1 HR every 42.6 AB). Looks like Miggie and the Grimsley trio need B12 shots.

2. The post on the Grimsley trio was prompted by the guy's friend dating a girl who used to date Brian Roberts. This may be awful but my first thought was to wonder whether the friend asked the girl about the size of Brian Roberts testicles.
