  • This means he's not eligible for our playoff roster, correct?

    The smartest thing would be to play Tim Anderson at catcher. If he sucks they can just draft Bart or if he's gone the next best catcher available and have him or her take Tim's place. The draft is the

    Seriously Players who get caught using performance enhanincing drugs should be banned for life.  Give the guys an off-season to get clean and implement that policy. 

Come on down Kevan Smith!

It is. 

Another free agent signing gone to hell 

20 hr in 96 games last year. Shocker.

Hahn record on FA dreadful.

From other thread

 

From what I gather the reporter is saying Castillo was pulled from the game for "not hustling"...but he knows the real truth. He then reports the steroid stuff.

 

Of course Castillo is still in the game. I dont think this guy knows.

Seriously

I wish. All it would take is the majority of players to vote that they want it too. 

If true, I hope they release him immediately. 

And to Zack Collins, Blake Rutherford, Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada, Jake Burger, and all of the big arm pitchers in the Sox system...Don’t take PEDs. They’re against the law and the rules of baseball.

I know I know, sox couldn’t have known. But seriously, figure out why your pro scouts keep striking out. 

Wow, that really sucks.  I guess it’s good we have a guy like Smith waiting in the wings.  The situation could obviously be worse.

They arent against the law if you have a prescription from a physician. However the are against the rules of baseball in all circumstances.

Well, they're saving X amount of money for the remainder of this season, but it's a setback for our young pitching staff...

All in on Yasmani Grandal next year?

Hahn, as mentioned, continues to make one bad FA acquisition after another.

We’re going to sign another expensive veteran C because our current is suspended for 80 games this year?

Believe his agency was one involved with the investigation to providing steroids 

Kevan Smith just hit the Milb DL, so it is either .165 hitting Alfredo Gonzalez or newly activated Brett Austin

I’m amused that people are blaming Hahn for this.  We don’t even know kind of PED he was using.  It could be something like Adderal for all we know.  The fact that he’s still playing right now makes me believe it’s on the lower end of the bad spectrum.

I think the organization believes in Collins/Zavala, plus Castillo has a guaranteed contract for next year.  

And frankly, I think our pitchers would rather throw to Kevan Smith anyway.
