Delgado: Did he juice?

I want to get a few people's opinion on Delgado and whether or not you think he used steroids.  He's been considered a power hitter since his first full season in 1996 with Toronto when he had 488 AB's and belted 25 homers.  After that year he had 30+ homerun seasons for 10 straight  years until last year when he hit 24.  MLB started looking into steriods significantly in 2006 and I wonder if its a coincidence that his numbers dropped off dramatically in 2007 and everyone knows his struggles this year.  Do you attribute his dropoff to age or do you think he was using performance enhancing drugs and got off them? 

I personally like Delgado and if I were a betting man i would bet he didnt, but i'm curious to get other people's thoughts....

My guess is that he did not....His struggles were from pitchers pitching him inside and he couldnt hit the ball, then he would chase pitches outside the zone....

Some hitters have weaknesses and Delgado's is that inside pitch...

not a juicer... his head is still the same size for those of you who dont know lol

i attribute it to age and scouting reports...

after playing so long people now know his weaknesses and he is a latin player who possibly could have lied about his age...

he does have gray hairs if you havent noticed...

for all we know he could be alou's age

so we a gree to agree lol...

what pills are you talking about? b12 vitamins? l glutimine? amino acids?

I don't think Carlos Delgado juiced up.  Yes, he seems to be showing his age (grey hair, slower bat speed), but he also seems to get some nagging injuries that affect the part of his game the Mets need most, his bat.  In this early season, he seems to be coming around ... Maybe those nagging injuries are getting easier to deal with.

He's had injuries to his wrist, his knee, what else am I missing?  Injuries and age have affected Delgado more than we know probably.  However, he seems to be thriving in the 7th spot in the lineup and seems to have taken the more in the batting order well.

Let's be honest the Mitchell Report did not list all the abusers.  I wouldn't be suprised if over 90% of players did juice
