Not to take away anything from Thome, but does it bother anyone else that some analysts and commentators are so quick to dismiss steroid use with Thome? I know that there is no hard evidence that he used them, but some people act like that in itself is concrete proof that he didn't use them. His biggest power years come from 1998 - 2008 in the heart of the steroid era. If you watched Kurkjian's piece or take a look at his rookie card, you can see how much bigger he became over the course of his career, especially in his Philadelphia years. I really like Thome as a player and a person and think that he deserves to be in the HoF, but I don't think anyone playing in the steroid era should be completely free of suspicion.
