Dad apparently a hardliner on the 'roids issue. I always thought there to be a good chance Jeff was dirty - heard a couple rumours back in the day, etc. Here Mr. Conine positions himself as very anti-PED, and self-righteously so. Griffin got some splainin' to do when he gets home?
Jeff Conine knows the Hall of Fame probably isn’t in his future.
“No chance,” Conine said.
But “Mr. Marlin” doesn’t think he’ll be the only former player on this year’s Hall of Fame ballot to be denied entrance to Cooperstown. The way Conine sees it, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa — names linked to baseball’s steroids era — probably won’t be getting in, either.
“I think the writers are going to make them pay for that,” Conine said of baseball writers, who vote for the Hall. “I don’t think they’re going to let ’em in.”
If that’s the case, and Bonds, Clemens, Sosa and others whose names were stained by allegations of steroid use during their playing careers don’t land in the Hall, they’ll receive no objection from Conine. He doesn’t believe they deserve to get in, either.
“I think all the guys of my era and my playing time would probably agree, that if you didn’t do anything, you don’t see why guys who did should get into the Hall of Fame,” Conine said.
Like Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, Conine is appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time. Given that a player needs at least 5 percent of the vote to remain on the ballot in subsequent years, Conine is well aware that this might be the only time he’ll be up for consideration.

Do the jays have like the most prospects that get caught for some sort of performance enhancing drug? It seems like it's atleast one guy a year.

It's Ritalin. A stimulant used for ADHD and a few other disorders.

And the reason a tonne of players suddenly discover that they have ADHD once they're playing a full-season schedule, necessitating a therapeutic-use exemption. Conine might well make a similar discovery in a few months.
