Really the answer is that they need a separate wing for these guys. I know it's been suggested jokingly before, but I think it's appropriate.

Acknowledge their success, but put it in context. because the truth is, we don't really know how much more it contributes to their careers, any more than the amphetemine users. Hitting is still more about the hand/eye coordination and bat speed than brute strength. Did it add 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet to their hits? How many extra home runs did that account for? How many just made it over the wall. How many times did a ball get caught that would have fallen in for a single in front of the fielder. We don't really know what it all really means except they cheated (sort of, since it wasn't banned).
