Manny Ramirez’s positive PED test and subsequent abrupt retirement has caught everyone by surprise. Now that he has been caught twice, it raises the question: did he use performance-enhancing drugs during his entire career? You’d think he had to be stupid or arrogant to get caught again. However, I think he just felt he had nothing lose; he knew wouldn’t serve the 100 game suspension.

Rusty Staub’s chart is interesting. His career path is normal until age 33. From then on he declined, as most players do, but he declined much more slowly. His slower decline is mostly attributable to his transition to DH and pinch hitter. He aged very well.

A very consistent career, and he aged in a normal way. |

He had a good early career, but tapered off later on because of back and elbow injuries. |

If it hadn’t been for a severe attack of sinusitis causing him to miss an entire season of his prime at age 30, he would have had an even better career. It took 84 years for someone to break his record for hits in a single season. His record was broken by Ichiro in 2004.
