Greg Hibbard Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't know how real this is, but with a name like Carroll being dropped, this seems a big f***ing deal http://journals.aol.com/dcsportsguy/mrirre...nt/entries/2162 Thursday, October 27, 2005 5:05:00 PM EDT Hearing Sports Bloggers Live @ sblradio.com Yes, Delete Entry AL Playoff Outfielder Tests Positive for Steroids Deadspin's 'Who's the Mystery AL 'Roider?' post from yesterday included the following excerpt from this week's USA Today Sports Weekly: "An American League outfielder on a postseason team tested positive for steroids, according to his agent, but the player is appealing the results." Certainly interesting, but I didn't make much of it until we talked to Baseball Prospectus' Will Carroll on today's Sports Bloggers Live. Will writes a weekly column for BP that Peter Gammons has called an "industry standard," and he also wrote a book called 'The Juice' earlier this year. His response when told of the rumor? Carroll: "I really can't talk about it right now. It should be coming out within the next two weeks." SBL: "Is this a name we're actually going to care about?" Carroll: "Yes." SBL: "Is it a World Series champion?" Carroll: "I really can't talk about it." SBL: "I would hope not, because that might turn those White Sox black... Will, cough once if he's on the White Sox... Cough twice if it's Gary Sheffield." Carroll: "I was involved in the appeals process so I can't comment at all." Here's the full audio interview. The dialogue dictated here takes place between 6:20 and 7:00. If this is true, there's a 1-in-4 chance someone on the White Sox used steroids this season and then contributed to Chicago's first World Series victory since 1917. And there's a 100% chance a player used and then participated in the playoffs. So... Who was it? And what would Selig do if that player was the World Series MVP or the Game 2 hero? Would it be a Black Sox-level fiasco? Say it ain't so, Jermaine! Given what we presume to know -- that the guy is in the AL, made the playoffs, is relatively significant and plays outfield -- the list of possibilities is only 12-deep: · Chicago: Podsednik, Dye, Rowand · Anaheim: Anderson, Guerrero, Finley · New York: Matsui, Sheffield, Williams · Boston: Ramirez, Damon, Nixon As a fan of the game and none of the teams or players involved here (actually, Vlad is rad), I hope none of them are guilty. But if one is, I certainly hope he isn't on the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 After having more time to think about this, I have to change my tone. If it is a Sox player, it would really tarnish the Sox World Series win for a lot of people. The national media is going to go apes*** if a Sox player was allowed to participate during the entire playoffs if they had already tested positive.

The national media is going to go apes*** if a Sox player was allowed to participate during the entire playoffs if they had already tested positive. Let's make up a hypothetical situation. . . Say a big name player decides to I don't know, spit in the face of an umpire and he does so near the end of the season with his team in good shape to make the playoffs. Now MLB has to suspend him, what do they do? You can't have him suspended for the playoffs, no, so instead they'll hold off the punishment until the beginning of the next season instead of having this player miss any time in the playoffs. Similar situation? I don't know, maybe I'm just tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, this is beyond premature. If its not a Sox player, and there is no real reason to think it is, then we are wasting part of the honeymoon worrying.

Are we sure that players have to serve their suspension during the regular season? I don't know, you'd think major league baseball would suspend the player for the games immediately following when they tested positive, whether they are playoff or regular season games. However I feel that MLB would NEVER suspend a player for the post season. Any punishment would be put off until the following season. ie: the Robby Alomar situation.
