Not that Wells isn't a meathead, but this time he's become the victim of selective quoting.<BR/><BR/>In the full quote below (from http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/05/22/wells_attempts_to_clear_the_air/), you see that he specifically says he doesn't suspect Delucci of steroid use. The discussion is about who might get suspicion thrown their way.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>Question: ''Are there guys, power guys, who you say there's no way they're juicing, or is everybody under suspicion?"<BR/><BR/>Wells: ''Now everybody is, I would think. You see a little itty bitty guy hitting 30 home runs, like Dellucci, I guess. How many home runs did he hit last year? Twenty-nine? Has he ever done that in his career? The numbers have gone down tremendously since all this has come up. You know, I know Dave. I've never suspected him of doing 'em, so, you know, it's something that, who else, who else could be? [Craig] Biggio, he can hit the ball, he can make good contact. I guess if you've been around the game enough and know the strike zone. It's like Wade Boggs, he never hit home runs but he could if he wanted to. He could see the ball well and he could put the bat on the ball well. BP, he was unbelievable. He could go deep at will.<BR/>--Zenslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040836002694584468noreply@blogger.com
