IIRC, Stairs did not make the majors until he was almost 30? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:50 5
- Yep, and then went about .280 with 30 HR's at the time everyone doing that was on roids - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:52 4
  - I'll say this, in interviews he's smooth as glass on it then. During his Jays years was when Roid stories were high and I never once got the sense... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:55
  - he was always a defensive liability, which is what cost him a lot of the time. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 21, 12:54 2
    - You hit .285 with 30 HR power, they'll find you a spot - Will Hunting Apr 21, 12:55 1

Keith Law tells the story, so I can't recall the metric that Beane compared and what changed too late. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 12:50
