Reply to "Brian Roberts just fessed up"

quote:

The Orioles are the first team to criticize the methodology of the Mitchell report in public, although several players have criticized the report.

The inclusion of Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts in the report has raised concerns around baseball. In many instances — like that of shortstop Miguel Tejada, who played for the Orioles for the past four seasons but was traded the day before the report was released — Mitchell had documentary evidence that tied players to purchases. But in Roberts’s case, Mitchell’s investigators did not have documents.

“The Orioles further believe that each major league player must be treated on an individual basis, must not be judged responsible by mere association, and is innocent of any improper conduct until proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt.”
