    Loser.
    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    So much for my assumption that he was trade bait. ..

    That HR jump makes sense now. He’s dead as a prospect now. His power was the real standout tool and if there was an unnatural reason for it, he’s effectively going to fade into irrelevance.

    Where will the stupidity end? Do these guys think they aren't going to get caught?

    I am no great fan of Michael Chavis (and no fan of steroids), but this matter may point up the difficulty of monitoring every substance that enters the body.

    From medical prescriptions to over-the-counter supplements to protein shakes, a player places great trust that the provider is not dispensing a banned substance.

    On one hand, Chavis may have knowingly consumed a banned substance in hopes of enhancing his performance.

    On the other hand, as Chavis contends, the top prospect may have no idea how the banned substance turned up in his urine.

    If I were a young player, I would likely consider that the possible gains are worth the risk.

    I mean if it helps him out and turns him into a star, fuck it. Nelson Cruz did it and I'm sure he has no regrets (at least in terms of baseball, not sure what the other side effects were for him).

    One guy (I think he is a UFC fighter) said that the banned substance that turned up in his urine was because he ate meat (beef) from Mexico while he was training there. Who knows? At the end of the day the athlete has to be held accountable for positive test results IMO. Otherwise there will be a litany of excuses as to how the test results were positive. There is no other way.
