He has 107 total AHL games played and is 23 years old.

Corey Crawford had 277 before he became a full time NHL player at age 25.

Jimmy Howard had 216 before he became a full time NHL player at age 25.

Probably. Sadly most of those kids won't ever make it to any professional level.

It would happen a lot more, though, were it not banned in the majors.

I think that is part of it. The lower leagues and fringe major leaguers...what is the downside? If you dont do it, you cant perform enough to stay to play in the big leagues, and if you get caught? well you were gone anyway

Love Dimebag and Zakk. Still remember that nutjob taking out Dimebag while I was in high school.

Yeah I remember that, like it was yesterday. My mom of all people woke me up to tell me that. I thought it was a dream. I woke up and asked my mom if that was real or not....That was quite upsetting.

Plenty of studies show that Steroids, if taken properly, are no worse for the male body than the pill is for women.

Examples from the 70's like the entire Steelers and Raiders football teams is not what should be expected from most baseball players use.

Do minor leaguers make enough to afford steroids?

Most minor leaguers make absolute poop for money. However, I have no idea how much a steroid is

Nah, it's not close. EVH is the much better technical player. Very few guys are on his level. A few that are/were would be:

Jimi Hendrix
Jeff Beck
Alex Lifeson
Steve Howe
Randy Rhoads
Robert Fripp
Joe Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
Joe Bonnamassa

There are probably a few others, but those were off the top of my head.

I like to see this list. Always great to see how a musician ranks musicians.

Funny, I seem to remember a report several years back showing that hundreds of current and former MLB stars were using steroids. I guess they just did it for kicks, instead of trying to achieve top status.

And if you think that youth/high school/college players aren't using steroids, then I just don't know what to tell you.

Also, show me the studies. The first thing I'll check is who sponsored them.

I like him. Not a huge fan of the overly experimental stuff but otherwise I like him a lot.

Siege Engine is great
