Cleveland's Travis Hafner made his big-league debut in 2002 with the Rangers, and called many admitted and alleged steroids users his teammates.

"I've never used steroids," Hafner said Saturday.

"I only spent a month and a half in the big leagues," he said. "I didn't really talk to many of the veteran guys. I really didn't know the club that well. As a young guy, I didn't notice anything.

"I almost think there's this perception that it's [going on] in the middle of the clubhouse.

"Unless you really did research or looked into it, you wouldn't know anything."
