So you think it is steroids that is making men more athletic and able to play baseball better? Interesting.

I'm not going to take your bait and try to argue something that you are putting in my mouth. I said what I said, not what you said. I invite you to go back and read it again.
Many women can field better than some men and not all men are steroid enhanced Jose Canseco's. If I recall correctly, Ted Williams certainly was not a muscleoid, he just knew how to see the ball, hit the ball, a skillset that I don't think men are necessarily better at. And not all pitchers are fireballers. Sure, the female Barry Bonds or Alex Rodriguez is not going to be as good as her male counterpart, but I certainly think they'd be able to play in the majors. I also said, "at some positions". I'd be quite surprised if a woman played at first base as you normally put a power hitter there, but not at all surprised if one played at second base, a position where power is less important. If someone thinks that the very elite women cannot compete with men, I'd think that someone is mistaken.
