What would Frank and Curt (and whomever else) have to do while they are on this task force?

 

I'm sure Rep Davis will inform them when they appear, that's when he'll have them sworn in to be part of the taskforce.

 

Frank...gettin his MFin Props!!

Ummm... I don't think I like that. Players should not be put into a position to tattle on other players. An independent pannel should be formed. People with nothing to gain from outing, or hiding, the players using.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. I really think it could put active players on this taskforce in a sticky predicament.

Maybe I misunderstood...is that what they would be doing? I thought they would be the face of 'Don't do roids' via television and so forth.

As I am proud of Frank to be asked to be part of this taskforce...

I do share your concern on what consequences this could create between players.

 

Does that make Frank the clubhouse Narc?

 

I guess we should wait and hear the exact details on what they expect from him and Curt.

A task force investigating roid usage... sounds to me like they would be responsible for investigating and reporting their findings to congress.

I agree with your comments about Pellman. However, I think he just said somthing that gives us a clue as to what Selig will say. He said he would recommend to MLB that the Minor league policy is the best because it was implemented without negotiations. Selig is going to blame the union for not allowing MLB to institute the policy they wanted.

Schilling would have a tough choice to make:

 

Take the position

 

Ruin his position as head of the players' union

 

Increase his chances of getting into politics after his playing days

 

Don't accept it

 

Keep in favor with the players and the union

 

Possibly blackball himself from a future in politics

Both sides are assholes.. but I lean more towards the players being at fault for the sissy drug policy.
