I mean did they all fail drug tests? If he goes to court and testifies that's one thing, but you're gonna suspend multiple players on what's essentially hearsay?
I imagine it's more like documented transactions and sworn testimony.

Any guesses as to who the 'mystery' Reds player is? Common sense says Votto but I think its Jay Bruce to be honest.

And we're about to lose to Jeremy Hefner, this team is pathetic offensively. Worse than the Marlins and the White Sox :x

Please don't get Bartolo.
Hope not, otherwise Sonny Gray is getting the call.
Yup, losing Bartolo would be sad but Sonny is destroying AAA pitching. Throwing him at the back of the rotation should be fine.

This means what exactly? Documented transactions like handwritten notes?
Like I was saying how are you gonna use allegations and uncorroborated statements and info to proactively suspend players? That's ******** especially since it hasn't went to baseball court yet. The MLBPA should have a field day with this. Braun was juicing. He did his song and dance and got off on a technicality. ARod has admitted to previous use so there's a possibility there of course.
But just because we think those guys are on it again shouldn't mean you can circumvent the rules and get what you want to try and protect your already dirty and deteriorating image. Tony Bosch character is the first thing that's gonna come into question considering he's denied it for months now has completely changed face.

Seems they have the evidence they need. From a legal perspective, it doesn't have to be much more than a billing invoice to qualify as documentary evidence - just as long as it's authenticated by a sworn witness.

like I dont get how some of these guys can like do interviews with straight faces and act like nothing had happened. I just saw an interview with gio gonzalez and
From the OTL report on ESPN.com:
"One player listed who will be scrutinized but possibly exonerated is the Nationals' Gio Gonzalez, who was listed among Biogenesis clients, but two sources told ESPN the only substances he received from the clinic were legal."

Walk off grand slam
If Hamels gets on track the Phillies can make the playoffs
Otherwise it's gonna be a fire sale of vets and Cliff Lee will get us a prospect gold mine

Just skimmed through and saw someone questioning a 100 game suspension. Sorry if its already been said, but MLB has a 3 strike approach against offenders.
Positive test 1: 50 games
2: 100 games
3: lifetime ban

Also, the Astros 6 game winning streak was snapped. What are the chances they lose 6+ in a row? haha

That's another problem as well.
Technically, Arod and Braun haven't been suspended prior so 100 games ain't gonna fly. ARod admitted in the past, and we all know what happened with Braun, but neither were suspended. They can't hit them with 100 games it's laid out in the CBA. I think they nailed it on sportscenter. MLBPA is gonna kill the commissioners office. Only way these suspensions will work is if these 20 some odd players just accept them and choose not to fight. Because as of now this seems like posturing by gump Selig.

I agree, I feel like the PA won't let suspensions happen without legit positive tests.

Of course, they're Dominican. If I'm the commissioner, I'm testing all Dominicans. Sometimes I wonder if I'm juicing
