More on the A-Rod front, but at least it's something positive. David Segui, close friend and former teammate of Alex's in Seattle, has come out and said that A-Rod was clean in Seattle.

From Joel Sherman:

"I never suspected him of taking steroids [with Seattle]," Segui said in a phone interview. "He wasn't big. He didn't have the body of a guy taking steroids. Obviously, there are different steroids for different results.

"But most guys involved with [steroids] are hitting the weights pretty hard. And that was not the case with him. I would be really surprised if he was using in his time with Seattle."

Was he equally surprised by A-Rod's confession of steroid use as a Ranger?

"I am not surprised to hear anyone used it," said Segui, who played for seven teams between 1990-2004. "[Steroids were] definitely around. I am not surprised anyone used it. No name would shock me. Someone who says they never even considered it is full of [bleep]. Everyone considered it. Not everyone did it, but everyone considered it."

Segui was a big roid-head himself so he should have a pretty decent idea about who was using and who wasn't.
