Losing credibility applies to Tim whom I'm noticing has habit of omitting important facts when they get in the way of his article's angle. While I agree Mitchell has conflict of interests and baseball would have been better served with someone else at the helm of this investigation, it's worth noting that only 77 names were outed not because there isn't far more, but because current and past players virtually supplied no information to Mitchell to protect their own hides and clubhouse "culture."

Yes, Tim, there is a pervasive, widespread history of steroid and substance abuse in MLB, and the very silence of virtually all players not only hampered the investigation, it supports Mitchell's contention of how widespread the problem came to be.
