Explains his 2.30 ERA through 53 IP.

Doesn’t explain anything. You can have that ERA at AAA for years and still get rocked in the majors

He started in AA as well

Yes just such a cosmic coincidence that the best players don’t do PED’s. How could that be …

I think you answered your own question, right? The best players don’t need PEDs. Look at the names on the Mitchell report, and the suspensions over the years. The MR is almost entirely made up of fringe players, career minor-leaguers and 25th man types. That slight edge from using may have gotten them onto a major league bench or close to it, but the vast majority of the guys we’ve seen have been scrubs or fringe bench types.
The “stars” who have tested positive, or have admitted use – Palmeiro, Bonds, McGwire, Byrd, A-Rod – were old guys trying to prolong careers or guys like Braun, trying to recover more quickly from an injury.
