The brosius with the most-ius

Was anyone else surprised not to see his name? I thought for sure he was going to be named in the report based on his '98 numbers. He was the guy I thought of off the bat when this all went down. He seemed like a Brady Anderson type, he came from relative obscurity and then all of a sudden hes the definition of "true yankee". I guess he was before Mcnamee's time but I was pretty certain we'd be hearing his name.

lots of names missing

the outrageousness of the report is that so many names are missing. Not that I'm saying Scotty deserves to be on there but it's not a sweeping indictment of baseball. It's a sweeping indictment of a few chosen people. It's garbage.

I know

I've already voiced my concerns with the report. Brosius was just a name I was expecting to hear going in.

based on?

based on

-breaking into the league in Oakland
-His most productive year came in the same season as the mcguire/sosa race when ped abuse was running rampant. (I know he had really good numbers in 96 as well, but he was in the same clubhouse as Mcguire, Giambi and Terry Steinbach who hit an insane 35 HR's out of nowhere that year, more than doubling his previous career high.)
-pure speculation.

He just seems like the kind of name that you wouldnt expect, but if you really thought about it, you wouldnt really be surprised either.
