The section of the report covering the effects of HGH is pretty interesting. It seems like the benefits would be fairly negligible to a non-injured position player, and incredibly useful for a pitcher. At least, assuming the report is correct in that it rebuilds damaged tissue and doesn't increase muscle mass.
