You knew it was only a matter of time before someone in baseball was caught with steroids and started squealing. While everyone is trying to figure out what names were blacked out on the affidavit, Jeff Nelson spoke out. Clearly, Grimsley is persona non grata in any clubhouse in the country.
You just take care of your own back yard and go about your ways,” said Nelson, who predicted Grimsley’s fate would be similar to that of Rafael Palmeiro, who hasn’t returned to baseball since testing positive for steroids last summer.
“I don’t worry about guys in the past. I just worry about what I have to do on the field. If everyone else would do that, none of this stuff would have happened, and Jason Grimsley naming guys wouldn’t have happened either.
Why he did it, I don’t know. Maybe he was facing a bunch of criminal chargers and tried to protect his own [rear]. That’s all I can see.
Jason Grimsley was also the guy who climbed through a duct to retrieve Albert Belle’s corked bat from the umpires’ room. Hmmmm… would that make Albert Belle a “close acquaintance”?
