And dont forget he was a Twin too. he is on all of the "Hated Rival" lists

I know, he really hit the four corners of hatred didn't he? I guess because he's a Yank its significant. Given the hoopla over Juan Rincon, I guess it is significant. I wanted Lawton because I though we needed some lefty thunder, a guy who walked, and another bat. Looks like another good non-move.

Can I just say how relieved it makes me to actually know it was Lawton? This thread scared the s*** out of me last week.

wasn't it fathom too or someone else? Glad you guys can breathe easier now

Big name player? Matt Lawton? How lame.

ss***man, is that your own wheaties art or is that the one that will be used?

I believe it already was used, but I'm not 100% sure.

I 2x checked via this little site called google and it is! Awesome to chose Marky. I will have to hoard a few boxes and try to get Mark to sign one sometime. Probably my favorite choice if you are going to use just one player

I think most of us are relieved to know it's not a Sox player. And did Lawton start a game in the playoffs vs the Angels? If so, it would make perfect sense. Even though it seems pretty minor, he's still one of the top 2 or 3 players to get busted so far.

Yankees like steroid guys,

Lawton has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 06 season.

You have to wonder about the market for Lawton. He can hit. He walks a ton so saber-teams might have interest. That said, he can't field and he'd be a bit of a PR nightmare for a team signing him-not to mention he'd miss the first two weeks. I'm sure somebody like the Giants will sign him but I'd swallow hard if I were a fan of the team who signed him.

Jeez, not even on a playoff roster. This is our "AL playoff outfielder"? What a let down. Can we still speculate just for fun?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, since Lawton didn't appeal this, there's still some talk that this isn't the player that was in question.

I just can't believe that the rumor would have been that close to true and it turns out to not have been it. I mean, the guy this whole thread was based on backtracked on his statements the next day, and then it turned out that an AL Outfielder with a playoff team (his words, I believe) was caught juicing. That's pretty damn close.

I agree, I was just saying that there are still some rumors out there. I think Carrol was called in for questioning in this situation because of the unique steroid that was used by Lawton. I can't see how anyone would be "disappointed" in this though.

I can see how some people would be disappointed...they wanted another name as big as Palmeiro.

 

I for one, am massively, hugely, relieved.

Ahhh now i know why he always killed the Sox.

It's the one Wheaties is using.

Wow, is Lawton the first player to actually admit to taking steroids intentionally? He took horse steroids!

In a sort of crazy way, good for Lawton. I am glad to see him at least be honest about it. I with they would double the suspensions for people who make up the BS stories to act like they didn't know. I know it is impossible to do, I am just sick of every single one of these jerks staring into a camera and thinking we are all completely stupid enough to believe their lies. You cheated, admit it, move on. Be a man.

``It's a veterinary steroid. I think it's primarily used in horses,'' said Dr. Gary Wadler...

Wadler said the steroid also was available under the name equipoise.

I never knew steroid manufacturers had such a sense of humor.
