A. Considered as is incorrect idiom.
B. Considered to be is incorrect idiom.
C. a clause is separated only by a comma without a conjunction.
D. Went on to play and went on to become- this part is parallel. For having bet on baseball looks a bit awkward, but i am not sure about it. Lets keep it.
E. Same as C.
Looks like D

Without the help of the idiom, we can solve this.
A- greater than is wrong. When you compare two numerical quantities, you use greater. For instance, 2 is greater than 1. Here no comparison takes place. So eliminate A.
B. Pete,some modifier, was A,was B. This is the simplified version of option B. Point is, there is no connector in between. Pete, was A, and was B is the correct structure.
C. Meaning error. Despite is used to depict contrast. So, this option says, he was on ineligible list, notwithstanding his great performances. To be on the ineligible list, there has to be something such as betting, doping, malpractice etc. Though subtle, I couldn't agree on the usage of despite. Besides we have the same error in case of B. So eliminate C. Also, having bet is better than betting, since having bet puts the blame directly on Pete!
D. Perfect. Spot on! Contrast is beautifully displayed by but. Pete, some modifier, was A, but B. Also, for having bet accuses Pete.
E. Same error in C.
So, the answer is C.
Any corrections in the above explanation is greatly appreciated.
