A little OT but Rangers related didn't want to start a thread over it but here it goes.
Let's say the MLB suspends Colon and Cruz for PEDs or lying about PEDs or whatever cause they use if they are able to do so, which club do you think it hurts more ?
I'd say the Rangers only because Cruz is an everyday player, the A's would be hurting a lot too because Colon has been money for us this season and has really been the ace of the staff.
You guys are playing some great baseball it feels like whenever my Athletics win Texas matches them and keeps .5 game back, looks like another race that might come down to the final day of the season.
This is where the whole MLB trying to make changes to the punishment is going to be hard to get past the MLB players union without positive tests on guys. If Cruz was punished solely on testimony by that money grubbing Bosch moron he by all accounts should not receive more than 50 games. If Colon was punished he would by all accounts have to receive 100 games. That said we could get Cruz back this year where Bartolo shouldn't be back until next year. Based on their benefit to their teams Oakland should have an easier time finding a guy to help out every 5th day than the Rangers would finding a way to replace the production of Nellie. just added speculation. Don't think this mess is decided until the offseason, if then there is time for all the litigation
