Believing Rocker
Seth Mnookin tells us why he believes John Rocker:
I also believe him because if the whole steroids mess has shown us anything, it's that the least likely folks have ended up being the most honest. That's in large part because of the frat house/high school locker room mentality of the entire baseball world, where the omerta code is lots stronger than it is in today's mob...and guys like Jose and JR have already been kicked out of the club, so they have nothing to lose.

Can I just say that it is wrong how ESPN used Steve Phillips on Sportscenter to address this issue. I love Steve, but he was the GM of the Mets when Rocker was in his prime for the Braves, not to mention the fact that Steve is probably one of the GMs with the most to gain by debunking any implications of cover-ups from baseball's upper management. Use some common sense and use an analyst that is not so close to the situation ESPN!
despite seths protestations, you have to believe all, not just part of the off his rocker theory. Did MLB openly encourage/push steroids?
