knightni Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Betancourt, 30, is the first Indians player to test positive for use of banned substances. He is on the 15-day disabled list, and can serve the suspension -- which starts immediately -- concurrently. That's showin' him MLB! :rolly :headshake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchwarmerjim Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 that doesnt seem fair. Maybe its something baseball can look at in the off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its something baseball can look at in the off season That really sucks. But I have a question. If a guy is suspended due to subsance abuse, is the team able to fill his spot on the roster with another player or will they play with 24? Edited to rephrase: Would they normally play with 24?

Rowand44 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 So I assume the next guy to get caught on roids is Kyle Farnsworth or Andy Sisco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
