December 13, 200718 yr Mark Redman? Also: Ken Caminiti? Bonds? That's all! Ho, ho, ho. I really doubt anyone new will get fingered but we'll see.
December 13, 200718 yr Just guessing . . . Barry Bonds, Ken Caminiti, Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi and maybe Miguel Tejada will be the MVPs named. With Ivan Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa being 2 obvious users who will not be named.

I really doubt anyone new will get fingered but we'll see. 80 names... 80 names. Think about that. There's going to be many new names to hear about. Rumors confirmed, wrongs righted, butts slapped... it's going to be wild.
December 13, 200718 yr I'd put money on it that 15-20 players named will be no name Mets bench players. (AKA: Timo) There's going to be an awful lot of disappointed people when the report is made public tomorrow.

Yes. 80 names only when over 100 tested positive alone during the "trial" drug testing in 2003. Most of the names that truly used will not be in there. My guess is mostly retired players who this won't effect.
December 13, 200718 yr I saw that ESPN will have a press conference tomorrow at 1pm. Are they just gonna read off names?
December 13, 200718 yr I can't see him reading all 80 names. I think those will be released separately. I just can't imagine Mitchell uses any specific player names during the actual press conference. In addition, I imagine any questions about the players will generally lead to responses like "its in the report". The Selig press conference hours later is the one I look forward to....

If It's a press conference, the first question will involve the name "Bonds".

December 13, 200718 yr What's the over/under on how long it'll take Pedro Gomez to cream his pants over this report?

(AKA: Timo) There's going to be an awful lot of disappointed people when the report is made public tomorrow. Exactly. Mitchell got info from 2 or 3 suppliers out of, at least, dozens. This list of names that everyone's looking forward to is going to be just that tiny fraction of users unlucky enough to use the guy who got caught. And it's a shame that such expectations are being built up for this report. It's an arbitrary sample of users, but you know some people will treat not being named as an exoneration.
December 13, 200718 yr What I heard is the report will be posted at 2 p.m. eastern at MLB.com and Mitchell will have a press conference at the same time. Then Selig will have one after that, topped off by the MLB players union later in the day. I'm interested to see what it says. Early reports have it placing blame on the union and MLB as a whole for allowing a drug culture to exist. It wouldn't be the appropriate venue, but I hope in the fallout, someone takes the media to task as well. They just turned an absolute blind eye to the problem in the late 90's and some hide behind the "how could we know" b.s. 80 isn't really a ton of names considering a lot could fringe MLB players. The most interesting thing would be if it laid out a ton of big names, and the scrambling ESPN would do to protect certain franchises
December 13, 200718 yr Author ESPN (Mike and Mike) just stated that "several prominent Yankees" will be named in the Mitchell Report today, and no current Mets on the 40-man roster are named. Holy s***, Alex Rodriguez is on this list.

December 13, 200718 yr Anyone hear the quote from Boras stating that there is no due process and essentially there is no validity to the report at all. I wonder how many of his guys show up. I can think of at least a handful.

I wonder how many of his guys show up. I can think of at least a handful. Kevin Kernan is speaking on ESPN right now, and according to ESPN he's close friends with Roger. He stated that if Brian Macnamee truly stated these allegations to the mitchell investigators, its most undoubtably true information as Brian Macnamee was VERY close to Roger
December 13, 200718 yr Former and Current Chicago players: Albert Belle, Mike Cameron, Carl Everett, Scott Schoenweiss. Matt Lawton, Mark Prior, Sammy Sosa, Kerry Wood.
