AL Playoff Outfielder on 'roids

From Baseball Musings...

So who is everyone's pick for which outfielder it is? I know I have my ideas, but I'd like to hear what the readers (and anonymous commenters for those of us who are shy and registered) have to say about it.

Update [2005-10-29 11:9:45 by Marc Normandin]:It appears the White Sox are free from blame this time around, which leaves the list down to Manny, Nixon, Damon, Sheffield, Matsui, Bernie, Vlad, Anderson and Finley.

i don't know
everytime i think about it, I come up with someone else.  Vlad, Finley, Damon, Sheffield and Rowand have all came up in my head as possible abusers.  I just don't know.  I really, really hope it isn't a White Sox player, that would really put a damper on a great season.

I am subject, hear me squeal like a pig
Beyond the usual suspects on the teams you could make a legitimate case for Podsednik being the one. I don't say that because of his two postseason home runs, I'm skeptical about the actual effect of steroids on power numbers anyway, but because of his August injury. I know it was a leg injury, I believe a hamstring, and if Podsednik doesn't have his speed then he has nothing. It could be possible that it wasn't healing quickly enough, his team was scuffling some, and he decided to use a little something extra so he could get back out there and help his team.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Why?
How is that this could happen?  I hope he's not on the White Sox. I guess we will have to wait and find out.  Maybe it was a 4th outfielder.
If it turns out to be a major player that substantually contributed to his team making or winning a playoff then the $%$^ hits the fan

Supposedly
It looks like it will be a name we will care about. With Juan Rivera and Bubba Crosby as the only real fourth outfielder on the playoff teams, it looks to be a starter. I personally care about Juan Rivera, but that is because of what he could do, not what he has done.
