Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


MLB Hands Out Steroid Punishment

According to this story on ESPN MLB took some action on a few of the HGH-related stories of the past season.  New Royal Jose Guillen (who, lets face it, has destroyed our national innocence) was given a 15-day suspension.  Jay Gibbons admitted to his mistake and was given the same punishment.  That same article stated the MLB has found "insufficient evidence" to give punishment to Troy Glaus, Rick Ankiel, Scott Schoenweis, and Gary Matthews Jr.  No mention was made of the Paul Byrd situation, except for the fact that Guillen used the same online dentist as Byrd.  Guillen also had his shipments sent directly to the stadiums (Oakland Coliseum, in this case), as Byrd has admitted to.  The 15 day suspension was the punishment in 2004, which is why these suspensions are that long.  Instead of the 50 days that there was a lot of talk of, are we now looking at a 15-day period where the Tribe might be without Byrd?  That is a lot more manageable, assuming that two of Sowers/Laffey/Lee stay in the organization to the point where a punishment is handed down.

Re: MLB Hands Out Steroid Punishment
I can do three starts without Byrd just fine, if that's the worst that can happen.

Re: MLB Hands Out Steroid Punishment
Especially if its early in the season where sometimes we don't need the full 5 starter rotation.
Officially starting up and driving the trade for Bedard bandwagon.

Re: MLB Hands Out Steroid Punishment
I am anxiously awaiting Royals Review's comments.  Considering the fact that Guillen is an everyday player, I think it's fair to say:  Royals entire 2008 season = *

the indians are to blame
Guillen played with Jason Phillips on the 1999 Pirates.

Phillips played on the 2003 Tribe, with Rafael Betancourt

Re: the indians are to blame
Well, you sure got the raw end of that deal.

You're really on a roll this week.  Loved the first paragraphs of both of your Wednesday posts.
