Heads22 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 This could be why Antoin Gray is on the suspended list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randar68 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 12, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) This could be why Antoin Gray is on the suspended list. Toca rumored to be one of the names. Giambi was just released, so he could have been a positive test, although we should wait for the names to be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 "It is disappointing that players from our minor-league system tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in violation of Major League Baseball and the MLBPA's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment program," said David Wilder, White Sox director of player development. "We will continue to offer any support we can to players who remain members of the White Sox family, however, at the same time we strongly support Major League Baseball and the drug testing program because it is in the best interests of the game. There is no place for performance-enhancing drugs in baseball." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomsonmi Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 It looks more likely that we'll be drafting a shortstop in round 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randar68 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 12, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for these guys. We also know nothing about what any of the situations or substances might be. They test for more than just steroids, including quite a few over the counter substances that show up in health food products. Hopefully it's just a lesson learned.

danman31 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) LMAO, Bruce Levine just got asked about these guys on Chicago Tribune Live. He said how Toca is merely filling a spot in AAA. Ok, no big deal. He then talked about Valido and how the White Sox were pretty pissed. Then, here's the funny part, 'Valido is down in AA'. Do your homework Bruce! However, now take it with a grain of salt, he said Valido was taking an over-the-counter powder from GNC.

I guess I should've said if they were doing roids. Of course, we could hook Timo up with some flaxseed oil..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I can't blame Yofu and Toca...if I'm 30 and pretty much out of chances, I would consider doing steroids too. However that doesn't make it right...I hope they enjoy their break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have told the teams before they released the info. I take it Toca is gone now too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
