I think (the steroid issue) works to his advantage if you consider that the player he was and the player he is right now are not that different. If people think he was that player because he was on steroids, well they know that's not the case now.
I think this has helped our confidence in terms of scoring runs.
We needed him to fill a spot for us, and he did, but he's given us much more than we could have anticipated.
We need to fight our way into the post-season.
We need him to be a horse for us.
