Here's what you would have to figure, being announced after the All-Star break, buys AT LEAST 5 games, they haven't even interviewed all 20 guys, that's going to take some time, making a decision on all players, more time, suspension then hearing the appeals for all the players, they aren't going to hear appeals and render yay or nay piecemeal, they'll hear all cases and announce all verdicts on all appeals at one time, thats going to take a long time b/c they Player's Union will be backing this up
I agree they should get PEDs out but the way MLB is doing it, is piss poor, make tests that catch offenders, stay up with it, don't go off heresay and eyewitness testimony, people lie, they are "encouraged" to say certain things, end all they are unreliable, it MIGHT guide you to the offenders but then its up to you to PROVE it
If you're mad that Braun beat your system, don't have idiots taking samples, and doing stupid things like taking those samples home, its called chain of evidence for a reason, and while this isn't a court of law, thats the next step and there goes your credibility if it does, have protocols and stick to them
Test him every week if you really want to catch him, but don't throw a hissy fit and start circumventing the rules
Rant over, Cruz misses no time this year, if ever, but questions remain long enough that he re-signs with Texas for 2 years and on the cheap

Maybe Braun goes back to being a 30-35 HR a year player and still stays above .300 for a seaon...but the big BUT is will he be able to play the normal 151-154 games a season? Probably not and that will affect his numbers. He could be without the juice a 20-25 HR a year guy with a .285 average. Still not shabby, but those numbers don't deserve the long term contract and big money he negotiated and was awarded.
just giving you a hard time. my point is, thats not much of a team player and i promise you his teammates would look at it as selfish. maybe they wouldnt say it publicly, but inside the club house it would be viewed as such. especially if he were to do this during a pennant race. it might be a different story if they werent in contention.
