I wouldn't swear on the steroids thing....They have very strict testing now...hell even Manny got busted lol......Sometimes guys just get with a hitting or pitching coach that they click with....Put me on the Texas Rangers and i could hit 30HR a season....The St. Louis pitching coach takes guys that had been around the block several times and turns them into Cy Young candidates...For the integrity of the game I'd like to think that maybe he just finally "got it"...and i don't mean under the toenail
