this isn't baseball, where steroids can have a huge impact on ability to see the ball, make contact, generate a sound swing, etc

I doubt Merriman benefited at all from the juice

No offense, but steroids don't really have a huge impact on the ability to see a ball, make contact, and generate a sound swing. Furthermore, the steroids Merriman were taking were probably for a specific purpose.

I think you're out of your element on this one

look at his neck. in the first pic it is clearly angled out toward the bottom on both sides. in the second pic his neck clearly goes straight down. its hard to compare shoulders because the shirt in pic one is padded, but it seems like there is a significant different there.

Not to mention he apparently got about 3 shades lighter. I'm not claiming that makes up the difference but shading and coloration absolutely do impact human perception. This is why you always see coloring differences between before and after pictures on weightloss programs and for acne meds and stuff like that. Darker is generally bigger.

if you had large traps you would know that when you tense/raise up your shoulders, it causes your neck to thicken in the manner we see in picture 1. In picture 2, it is fairly obvious that his shoulders are quite relaxed, which explain the straightness of his neck.

not saying there is NO difference, just that is not as big as people seem to be making it. FWIW i am not a SD fan.
