Do you actually think that drugs (steroids, HGH etc.) would have the exact same effect on everyone who took them?? Possibly, players like Petitte would have never even made the majors. But like you said, who are we to know how much they help or don't help. (Although I am guessing they help quite a bit)

This is ridiculous. Steroids or HGH aren't going to change the overall talent of a pitcher. It's not gonna give them more movement or a significant increase in velocity. You're not gonna develop a Mussina curve or Rivera cutter because of drugs. They will help you recover from injuries better--which could in turn make the majors more likely for on-the-line players, but doubtful it helped Pettitte beyond health reasons.
