Who cares if he's a "legit star"? If he pitches well for the Reds when he comes back, Reds fans will forgive him. And as for the rest of baseball, WHO CARES what they think of him? As long as he tests clean the rest of his career, what are you gonna say? That he cheated at surgery recovery!? No one is gonna believe him? Believe what? If he pitches well the rest of his career and tests clean, what is there NOT to believe? Christ the baseball world has all but forgotten about Manny testing positive, and anyone who hates him now probably hated him before anyways so theres probably been no change of opinion.
I love Edinson and can't wait for him to come back, I'm a little disappointed that he made this stupid mistake but its not like he pitched a Cy Young season and then tested positive. Nothing is tainted. This is like getting suspended for cheating at batting practice.....
Man I love how people overreact and make sweeping generalizations about news. NO CHANCE of becoming a legit star? Thanks Nastradamus, who wins the pennant this year?
