May 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 15, 2011 -> 11:15 PM) Does every player get tested? I thought it was random. http://mlbplayers.mlb.com/pa/pdf/jda.pdf Each Player shall be tested within five days of reporting to spring training. All Players will be selected for an additional unannounced test on a randomly selected date. And, in addition to these, 1200 more random tests are done. Then there is also a board which may declare a specific test is in order which does not count to any of the above numbers.
May 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 15, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) Well since they do test now, he isn't unless there's something he's taking that isn't showing up yet. And BTW, I believe he's clean too and agree with wite about his mechanical adjustment. The "something that doesn't show up yet" would be HGH, unless there is a newer designer drug that no one knows about yet. Also the timing of this is kind of perfect, but here is a study from baseballreference.com that gives players who had their first 40 HR season after age 28. The top of the list reads like a who's who of the juice party http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/11082

And BTW, I believe he's clean too and agree with wite about his mechanical adjustment. It's possible that it was simply a mechanical adjustment, but there's no way I can believe it all things considered. It's just too much of a dramatic increase at such an older age, that it's so hard to believe he's clean, especially after what we saw in the last 15 years. Edited May 16, 201114 yr by LittleHurt05

May 16, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 16, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Dusty Baker strikes again! What did Dusty do?
May 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) What did Dusty do? Probably nothing this time. It's just an automatic reaction when a young pitcher under his control has an arm injury.

I didn't think so considering he's been in the pen, but I figured there might have been soemthing I didn't know about.
May 17, 201114 yr Michael Pineda is making a believer of J4L. See the benefits of identifying and then signing legitimate talent from Latin America? The Mariners might in time have the best 1-2 combo in the majors and didn't need a draft pick.

May 17, 201114 yr Pineda with 6 swinging Ks. And this Twins team is terrible. Figures the year they fall off the map is the same year we have our worst year since '07.

Figures the year they fall off the map is the same year we have our worst year since '07. They are not healthy, but no, they don't look good at all. Really makes you wonder how they won the division 6 of the last 9 years. I'm still waiting for them to get healthy and turn it around. When healthy, they are a good team, but the team they are fielding now is legitimately THAT bad.
May 17, 201114 yr lol@Jose Bautista's .500 ISO, .572 wOBA and 4.0 WAR. He's been the complete opposite of Juan Pierre, Brent Morel, Adam Dunn, Alex Rios, Mark Teahen, f*** it, any White Sox player not named Paul Konerko. Edited May 17, 201114 yr by Jordan4life

May 17, 201114 yr QUOTE (T R U @ May 17, 2011 -> 03:39 AM) On pace for 63 HRs and an astonishing 107 RBIs Which kinda reinforces why RBI is a garbage stat.
