According to Jon Heyman, it's Edinson Volquez. 50 games for PED use.

Is this the way it works? You would think there'd be something in place where the player couldn't serve his suspension while he's on the DL and not able to play anyway.

Brian Roberts is going to apparently miss "a majority" of the season with the back injury and Felix Pie is going to miss 3 months as well with his shoulder injury.
oh well |

I guess he failed the test in spring training so seems likely he was trying to speed up his rehab during the offseason.

I actually think he has to wait until he's off the DL to serve the 50 game suspension. I know Cliff Lee was supposed to serve his 5 game suspension when he got off the DL (think he got it overturned though).

Ah, just read that his suspension begins on April 21. Pretty huge loophole there then. So if suspended for throwing at a batter or something like that you have to wait until you're off the DL to serve the suspension but if you fail a drug test you can serve it while you're still DLed? Kinda weak.

Volquez says he took the stuff he did because it was supposed to help him and his wife have a baby.
Guess Volquez was shooting blanks. |

I don't see why it changes anything. Volquez wasn't pitching anyway and wouldn't have been for a while still.

The Orioles are awful. I think they're trying to be worse than the 03 Tigers, if not even worse than that.
The Tigers started 2-18 through 20 games, the Os are 2-13, with 6 of their next 7 games vs Boston and NY and Felix Hernandez tomorrow. Last edited by Droford; 04-21-2010 at 01:03 AM. |

Big Pelf looked awesome again. 3 great starts and a save to start the new campaign. Went ahead and picked him up in every fantasy league. Hope he keeps it up.
lol @ Tatis belting a 2-run HR in the 8th to make it 4-0 Mets and taking away the save chance for K-Rod. Mike Pelfrey remains the team leader in saves for another night. Hope Igarashi is okay. Dude's been money so far this year and seemed to have earned the 8th inning job. |

He has essentially been the Braves' motivation all season. Every time he hits the dugout, I get the feeling that even Chipper feels like he has to perform better to match this guy's intensity.
I haven't seen many guys fly around the bases like Heyward did last night on his home run. And that's the second bottom of the 9th, two out home run he's hit already this year, though the first didn't end up meaning anything. He was 1-4 last night, but nobody cares because he brings it every at-bat. And two nights before he won the game for the Braves. I'm just not sure what else you can ask for a rookie in the first 15 games of the season. |

And the funny thing is that all Braves fans were talking about before the season started was whether keeping Heyward in Gwinnett for two months would really have an effect on the Braves season.
But he answered that question almost immeadiately. |

Shit, Ryota Igarashi to the DL.
![]() Manny Acosta called up just in time for a series against his former team. That could either be really good or really bad. |

Ubaldo Jimenez has got to be rooting against Hughes. Bad enough his no-no came on the same day as a 20-inning game by a NY team...it'll get forgotten if a NY player trumps it with a no-no of his own in under a week.

Thought he got hurt there for a second. Flashed back to when he was throwing that no-hitter against Texas a while back and got hurt.

tbh, no-nos shouldn't be allowed to be pitched in Oakland.
If a no-hitter takes place and nobody is there to see it, did it really happen? |
