Had his 2 highest HR seasons at age 39 and 40. 3 straight 20 HR seasons at 38, 39, and 40.
His move to the outfield might have made him feel like he needed to be more of a run producer? His average went down those years when he was hitting more homers...maybe he was swinging for the fences too much?

Coincidentally, it also aligns with his move to the OF at age 37, where he would have needed extra speed, stamina, and a better throwing arm.
The extra speed sure didn't kick in...his stolen bases dwindled to almost nothing by this point.
Maybe he juiced...maybe he didn't...but your argument is not a strong one.

FWIW if I had to lean one way or the other on Biggio, I would say he was a juicer.

He wasn't producing more runs, only home runs. His run and RBI totals were down from a typical Biggio season.

His SBs dwindled in 2000. 3 years before he moved to the OF and 4 years before his big HR jump.
You dont have to believe it. It's not like I have proof. Just speculating.

This is exactly why I believe the steroids issue shouldn't be considered with voting, because if they do it turns into a Salem Witch Trial situation with speculation running rampant whether or not someone juiced.
I understand players that didn't take them are put at an unfair disadvantage, but you really have to choose which evil is lesser, voting players that possibly took PEDs or letting public perception that somebody took PEDs determine voting.
I agree. I'd vote Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, and Palmiero in.
