fattyguy78 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 from rotoworld: MLB announced Friday that Neifi Perez has been suspended for 25 games after testing positive for a banned stimulant. The suspension is effective immediately and it sounds like the Tigers may call up Ryan Raburn to take his place on the roster. Losing Perez isn't much of a blow to the Tigers given that he's hitting .172 with a .487 OPS. Raburn, 26, is hitting .292 with solid power and speed at Triple-A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I thought you couldn't call someone up to replace suspensions, or is it different for "long term" suspensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Neifi Perez is still in baseball? Well, he had to be taking something to have as much energy as he did... Edited July 6, 2007 by BearSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved Vance Wilson to the 60 day DL to make room. Raburn has been doing well in AAA, everyone has been calling for him to replace Monroe. If anything, this gets Infante more playing time. But really, it's hilarious. Maybe the stimulant got his OPS from .483 to .487.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirScott Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 02:28 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2960193 What a dummy. This article on ESPN.com is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confusing. They keep calling it stimulants, which makes you think greenies. But this is the fourth paragraph of the article: Under baseball's labor contract, a player cannot be disciplined multiple times for a positive test stemming from the same use of a banned substance, meaning Perez had to take a prohibited stimulant more than once. Which raises the question, why would he be taking greenies when he's suspended, if his original suspension was to end tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnwood Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 What a f***ing moron! How many times does he get to "tested positive" before he is banned? (It is baseball, shouldn't it be three strikes?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stimulant can certainly be a Performance enhancing drug. It is not a steroid, but it can certainly improve your performance during an athletic activity.

AirScott Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2960857 So he says he was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed Adderall. I guess that explains the third positive test while he was supended -- it's a pretty crappy alibi if you say you have ADHD, then don't take the medication when you're out of the lineup. Or maybe he has ADHD...it just took 12 years in the country to figure it out. But maybe that's the source of his .267 career average and .297 career OBP.
