cabiness42 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Sign that I've spent too much time looking at advanced baseball statistics: There is a headline on espn.com that reads, "Silver, James to talk sleeves at season's end" My first thought was, "WTF could Nate Silver and Bill James possibly have to say about the impact of sleeves on baseball jerseys?" Turns out the story is about LeBron James and NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 24, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) Ben Badler @BenBadler 1h Correction: Four of the Rays' top 10 prospects have been suspended for drugs. Almost sounds like a "culture". Makes me wonder if their big leaguers are just going about it more intelligently. Though the game wants it all to just go away, we REALLY need to learn more about what Tony Bosch was trying to tell us regarding the ease with which the testing can be beaten.

Though the game wants it all to just go away, we REALLY need to learn more about what Tony Bosch was trying to tell us regarding the ease with which the testing can be beaten. To be fair...the MLB was supposed to have fundamentally changed their testing procedures at the start of last year including long-term monitoring and blood testing/HGH testing. By my count, on the previous testing regime about 25% of the Biogenesis guys actually tested positive (including Braun, Melky). If that is the case, then the old version caught some...and hopefully the new version is a lot tighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the back starts acting weird, it becomes worrisome. Still, "inflammation" after a start in the middle of ST on the other side of the world, might not be the most stunning thing. If it's really just inflamed muscles that's not big time scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
