    Relative to era, his stats are a step behind, I think.

    But he's clean, so aren't you penalizing him by comparing to the steroid era players?

    Probably. Sucks to be him.

    I agree. Not to open this again (i didn't do it), but my point from before was that there are a lot of conditions of the era other than steroids that were shared by all the players.

    That's why I think it's OK, and even appropriate to compare players to those of their era, steroids or not.

    Nobody ever said otherwise. What I said is you shouldn't just do that without taking into account who is a proven user and who is not.

    Anyone who ever went to the park, saw Carlos Delgado and said "There's a Hall of Famer," raise your hand.

    I've heard people say other things about Mr. Delgado.

    I agree with that. I take into account who is a steroid user and give that information a weight that I feel is appropriate.
