David Segui's name appears in the Mitchell Report quite a few times. It's not something Segui minds though because he fully admits he's used steroids in the past. There is one part of the report though that Segui is very unhappy with, and that's the fact that it implicates Brian Roberts as a cheater as well.

Segui says that former teammate Larry Bigbie has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to Brian Roberts and steroids.

"By far that's the thing that's bothered me the most about the whole entire thing," Segui said today. "[Bigbie] threw Brian Roberts' name out on complete hearsay. Calling it hearsay would be giving it more credibility than it deserves. I'm at a loss as to why Brian Roberts' name would come out of his mouth.

"Brian Roberts has never met Kirk Radomski, at least not in my presence," said Segui, who has admitted to taking steroids and to providing Radomski's contact information to several players who wanted to know more about performance-enhancers. "And I don't know wherever else he would have met him.

"I'm not worried about damage control on my part, I don't care about that," Segui said. "What I care about is Brian Roberts. He is the kind of guy you want your daughter to marry. He is the kind of guy you want your son to grow up to be. Leave him out of this [stuff]. He has nothing to do with this."

Segui seems sincere in his defense of Roberts, but what he says doesn't explain why another former Oriole, Jason Grimsley, named Roberts along with Jay Gibbons and Miguel Tejada as steroid users in a federal affidavit. Some other players Grimsley included in that affidavit?

Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite.

So excuse me if I think David Segui is mistaken in this case.
