Do we even have an open 40 man spot? I forgot that Smith was outrighted to AAA and that we only have two catchers on the 40 man roster.

It could be something like Adderal for all we know. The fact that he’s still playing right now makes me believe it’s on the lower end of the bad spectrum. They specifically said NOT a steroid.

Aren’t there certain supplements that count as PEDs? I just think people should hold off blaming the front office for somehow not knowing and wait for all the facts to come out. Sucks he’ll be out half the season but that falls on him primarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Might have to give some thought to Zack Collins, though it would be a risky move. 2 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: They specifically said NOT a steroid. FWIW, it may be similar to Cano or several others who test positive for drugs associated with steroid use (e.g., Manny Ramirez testing positive for a post-cycle therapy drug) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Wasn't Austin the personal catcher for Rodon? Or am I confusing him with a different NC Stater that we drafted the same year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the guys an off-season to get clean and implement that policy. If those rules were in.place, Eloy Jimenez would still be a Cub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Really stinks for Zavala and Smith being hurt. I bet the catchers in the bottom of the system are happy for the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH while it briefly looked the other way I think Collins's bat is ahead of Zavala's. Sounds like neither of them are very good on defense, but it's always hard to get reliable information about that for minor leaguers. 1 minute ago, southsider2k5 said: A masking agent also would apply here, or maybe a drug? Yeah it could be a masking agent though I'm not sure if a drug of abuse (weed, cocaine, etc.) is punished under the same scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zavala is the lesser prospect and a bit older, so you could probably gamble a few weeks with him in the major league mix and not worry too much about any long-term consequences. I wouldn’t do anything that could possibly disrupt Collins’ development as he is potentially too important to the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real replacement option in the org at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
