Why do you think that? Because other guys have been caught? So, everyone that has a good year is suspect?

That's crap and Bayless is an asshole for suggesting that he might be cheating.

You can't suggest things like this without proof and Jeter having a good season isn't proof. He's one of the greatest hitters of all time, this isn't a fluke season.

Responses:

In 2010 at the age of 36, Jeter had his lowest Batting average since his rookie year. - amoxy Aug 23, 08:47 10
- One below average season two years ago is proof that he juiced to get back to where he is today? - Krusty Aug 23, 08:51
- look at Thome at age 40, he can put up great numbers for 150 at bats - groiny Aug 23, 08:49 8
  - I agree with you I don't think Jeter is juicing but it is sad that Baseball is so tainted right now - amoxy Aug 23, 08:52 7
    - it is, and it is a shame, because I love the game more than anyone does - groiny Aug 23, 08:54 6
      - 50 games is not enough. They need to up it, even more. - Spawn Aug 23, 08:56 5
        
        suspend them for the remainder of the season and make them forfeit their entire season's salary. -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 08:57 3
        
        No. If betting on games is a ban, this should be too. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:00 2
        
        There's a key difference there. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 23, 09:11 1
        
        Pete Rose bet *on* his team, and was banned. He did nothing to tamper with the integrity of the games played but was banned for life. - Spawn Aug 23, 09:14
        
        I agree completely. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 08:56
generally at age 38, players break down. - groiny Aug 23, 08:41 3
- It is out of left field. He's been as consistent as anyone in the game. He's not doing anything he hasn't done his whole career. - Krusty Aug 23, 08:44 2
  - yes, but it is questionable, when you are putting up those numbers, or better, at age 38. - groiny Aug 23, 08:47
  - I seemed to remember when he was resigned that a lot of people wondered *why* (other than the celeb status). Those people never dreamed he could do - Spawn Aug 23, 08:45
He did not suggest it. He asked. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 08:40 9
- By asking, he's suggesting. It was a cheap shot. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 08:42 8
  - If he had *not* asked, his reporting would be even more in question. He asked a question that everyone is wondering. - Spawn Aug 23, 08:43 7
    - I wasn't wondering it. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 23, 09:00 1
      - He was not accused. In the current climate he was simply asked the question. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:13
    - Who is wondering? Seriously? There's never, ever been a hint that he was cheating. He's having a normal year for him. Why question him now? - Krusty Aug 23, 08:47 2
      - From what I have heard, it is predicted that over half of major league baseball players are are have used, so yes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 08:52 1
        
        are *or* have -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 08:53
    - "When did you stop beating your wife, Senator?" -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 08:45 1
      - And there is the exception. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 08:46
