Is there any doubt that Brian Giles was juicing, 1999-2002?

Or can these states be explained away by the difference in the ballparks alone???

Uh, dude. PetCo is notorious in SD for being a small-ball park, even if that idiot Bochy was trying to force HRs the entire time he was there before he snuck out with his tail between his legs for SF. There were SD "power" hitters whining about the lack of production when they SHOULD have been playing hit and run.

Giles isn't like that. He's embraced the new role. This is akin to the aging fireballing pitcher who adjusts to age by going to off-speed and movement. Leave him alone.

In this day and age, EVERYONE'S stats are up for scrutiny, if you ask me.
