Molitor: 'Just Cause' For Rodriguez Suspension
Paul Molitor believes Alex Rodriguez's suspension was justified and that the has no place in Cooperstown.
"I don't think he was overly targeted by Major League Baseball," the Hall of Famer told the Canadian Baseball Network. "I [didn't] think they would impose such a severe suspension.
"I know that there was not a positive drug test, but there was just cause."
The last portion of Molitor's career straddled the golden years of baseball's so-called steroid era, and he played his last season for the Minnesota Twins in 1998.
Rodriguez was in his fourth full season and already sparking future Hall of Famer talk by 1998, when he batted .310 and belted 42 home runs.
"Regardless of where [Rodriguez's] career was going, from the information I've been exposed to and from what I have read, I don't think he will get in," Molitor said. "But hey, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds get roughly 30 percent of the vote."
