The All Steroid Team

Now that Miguel Tejada and Alex Rodriguez are admitted steroid users, my all steroid team is finally complete. The pitching staff was a little harder to put together than the everyday lineup, but I'd still take this squad over any team ever assembled. Mike Cameron received some consideration in center field, but Dykstra is a superior leadoff hitter. All of these players were either named in the Mitchell Report and/or have been suspended for using performance enhancing drugs, with the exception of ARod and Bret Boone, whose career stats (and physical appearance) certainly seem to indicate something unnatural in the 2000 offseason.
