That will give all the guys in the majors time to learn how well the HGH test works and what they can do to get around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is...he can't do that on his own because that is collectively bargained issue, while he may well be able to do that for the minor league teams.

He can as commissioner because he holds the one trump card. "The good of the game". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can if its not per se prevented in a valid, legal contract. None of us really know exactly what that contract says. And furthermore, I believe the current overriding contract for the league is expiring after this season, right? I'd be this is something that changes, at that time.

None of us really know exactly what that contract says. And furthermore, I believe the current overriding contract for the league is expiring after this season, right? I'd be this is something that changes, at that time. Frankly, I think that at this point, collective bargaining agreements are a satisfactory way of dealing with it. If Selig had in 2001 chosen to use that power, that would have been the right point. As of now, he's set the precedent that the best interests of the game power is very sparingly used, and that collective bargaining can deal with this issue. Of course, if that's unsatisfactory, just replace him with Senator McConnell, and suddenly that sparingly used power will be used to ban baseball players from chewing gum or throwing anything but fastballs.

Balta1701 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Contract extension talks between the Rays and Carl Crawford have broken down (never really made sense anyway). If the Rays fall out of the race, he's going to be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 03:24 PM) Either him or Danys Baez. Wow, Danys Baez made $7.16 million with the Orioles last season. A 6.44 ERA in 07, zero innings in 08, and a 4.02 ERA in 09, all for $19 million. Now thats bad bullpen money, probably worse than our Linebrink deal.

Steve9347 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 The Nationals will do the predictable thing and keep Strasburg in the minors to start the season to give his arb clock a later start, thus telling their fans that winning still matters not. In other news, the sky is blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Remember that weird "Platelet therapy" we've heard a few people talk about now? That's the same doctor going down in the case that's involved interviews of ARod and Beltran so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, the sky is blue. If I was a Nats fan that's what I'd want. I'd be open to keeping him down for over a year if I thought it would allow for less of his team controlled years to not be wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Saw this part of the Seattle spring training game and laughed 1:37 p.m.: Milton Bradley had a play on a flyball to left with two on in the fourth inning. But Bradley could not make the catch and the ball got by him for a two-run double by Kevin Frandsen that highlighted a three-run frame by the Giants. All three runs were charged to Chris Seddon. Bradley might have lost the ball in the sun and could have been charged with an error on a borderline play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
