San Diego Padres All-Performance Enhancer Team: Pitchers

This article was first published on Friar Forecast

The past two days I presented the position players on my “Padres All Performance Enhancer Team.”  Today we discuss the pitchers…

As a reminder: I am not necessarily claiming these players definitively took steroids, HGH, or any other performance enhancing substance. 

Eligibility for this “team” has no specific conditions.  My selections are based on fan speculation, written reports (The Mitchell Report, as well as media reports-possibly unsubstantiated), dramatic hat size increases, and my own opinion.  This three-part series is intended to be somewhat humorous, and should not be cited in any any serious steroid discussion.

Starting Pitcher: Kevin Brown

Brown spent only one season in San Diego, but made a definite impact while he was there.  He anchored the 1998 staff, helping the Padres win the National League pennant.

After the 1998 season, Brown signed a seven-year, $105 million contract with the Dodgers, becoming the first player in major league baseball to receive a contract totaling more than $100 million.

Injuries plagued Brown throughout that contract.

To the surprise of few, Brown was cited in the Mitchell Report as a possible steroid user.

Lefty Specialist: Ron Villone
