Jose Abreu Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just now, ptatc said: Just educated guessing. He passed a physical which means he doesn't have severe forms of those conditions which would require medication. If so, the team would have prescribed the meds, not a "licensed physician in the DR." Makes sense. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually severe kidney issues or really high blood pressure. But there are others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) No matter how seriously you think it should be taken, the whole PED use/Hall of Fame/banned substance thing continues to be the absolute worst part of the baseball fan experience.

Totally agreed. There is nothing in the history of baseball that has been screwed up worse than this debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a professional sports team with the money invested in him will monitor his health very closely. Any medication given for conditions like this would come from the team physicians, in general. There could be exceptions but it's not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was actually trying to say. His excuse is bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Was just reported on MLB Network that part of the drug testing agreement calls for an independent doctor to review cases like this to determine whether there was likely a legitimate medical use for the substance. Given that he was suspended, the doctor must not have been convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 As far as the HOF discussion is concerned, it's easier for me to entertain the case of guys like this because there's a testing regimen in place and I have a decent amount of trust in it.

Pretty sure Lowrie of the A's and Altuve deserve the All-Star nod for second baseman. But Moncada's name, and if he really tears it up over the next 2 months, I guess I could see it.

I mean, there is still 2 months plus to go, but ReyLo would probably be the one guy that gets in. If what the poster Jose Abreu said is true about there being 3 second baseman, I could see Moncada getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
