Notes:
Of all the 'roid monsters in the league, Mike's stats seem the most suspect. Uninspired rookie debut followed by breakout in 2000 playoffs. Absolute monster 2001 season, followed by off-season "injury" and subsequent sporadic/substandard play. After launching 33 into the cheapseats in 2001 in only 186 ABs, Mike's HR production plummeted to 2 dingers in 92 ABs throughout his final two seasons. It seemed Mike had a new injury every other weekend during this time, which was too bad. Had he remained injury-free and been able to play at or near his 2001 level, he'd probably be #3 on the career HR list.

Most didn't notice it, but while Mike's 2002 and 2003 seasons brought his career batting numbers back down to earth, his 2003 pitching numbers greatly HELPED his career marks. Most of the time Mike was simply very very hittable. He had adequate accuracy and at times an exceptional curveball, but his fastball was not very fast and his curveball was not very consistent. Still, Mike's 2000 playoff campaign and 2001 season remain the stuff of legends.
