An announcement coming in the next couple days...damn! Apparently MLB has been able to unlock/unmask the secret code to bust these Turinabol users. Could be quite a few in the coming days/weeks.

I'll bite, why not.

I gots Who Are Carlos Gomez and Matt Harvey for $100, Alex.

As a Cub man, let's just say I am PRAYING that Arrieta isn't on the list, but must admit it would not shock me if he was.

I mean seriously....if Dee Gordon is getting busted for this shit, who the hell is immune from this speculation?

CBS bloggers are also saying Arrieta, but I'm with you and hope he's not one of them (and I don't think so).

I personally have no idea, but we'll find out soon enough. Is there a NFBC insurance for PED users? lol

I certainly hope not, I landed three of them late in my H2H league.

TJ Quin of ESPN, who broke the story said in a tweet there are no big names so that pretty much rules out Arrieta and other stars.

This wouldn't rule out Gomez.

He's dead to me. I refuse to acknoledge him by name. Fool me once, he had injuries and "bad luck." Fool me twice, shame on......"YOU SUCK, ya bum."

How different of a team would the Mets have been (this year and last year) if the infamous Wilmer Flores/Zach Wheeler for Carlos Gomez trade actually happened? A very good special on SNY, for those who have it, 5 Days in Flushing. Very good watch for Mets fans (and even some non-Mets fans

).. I was at the game when Wilmer cried and Gomez was coming to New York. I was actually excited about it for a few minutes... Thank God that never happened.

Can't let this get hijacked into another exhausting Mets post.

Neil Walker, Eickhoff, Velasquez, Arrieta, Altuve, Syndergaard, Rasmus, Diaz, Hazelbaker, Braun again, Cano, R. Hill, Villar, Herrera.

Quite a shitstorm approaches.

So basically anyone who is off to a good year is suspect.

Per TJ Quin's twitter feed, announcement in next few days or possibly weeks. He does not know the names at this point, but no big names. Let's have some fun and drag some names and reputations through the mud and cast shadows of doubt with pure speculation. My guess: Franklin Gutierrez and his late season health & power surge was not from eating more Wheaties!

This thread is so ridiculous that I have to join in...

Robin Ventura
Pete Mackanin
Scott Servais

Also, this one is going to be unbelievable, but sources say that AJ Hinch may have received a bad batch. Hopefully he kept the receipt so that he can exchange the diluted Correa batch for a smaller, but more powerful Altuve batch.

Also still holding out hope that the most overrated player in baseball history, Derek Jeter is somehow found in this. Of course he will likely get the good ol' boy Peyton Manning treatment and everybody will just ignore it ever happened. Ah shucks.

Speculating with the Colabello profile, if the criteria is:

• well-liked/highly competitive/driven to win
• frustrated with performance
• oft-injured
• erratic performance
• potentially distracted this season because he knows its only a matter of time

I'll nominate Tulo. Hopefully wrong.

Deadheadz · Post by **Deadheadz** » Thu May 05, 2016 3:35 pm

.

If Colabello's play is indicative of knowing he would be suspended, it won't surprise me if the following players are on the list:

Tulowitzki
ARod
Rendon
Adam Jones
Correa

unless a player is playing thru injury (Russel Martin, Heyward) you gotta think anyone who knows of a positive test result would be dogging it until the suspension comes down

.

Gb2715 · Post by **Gb2715** » Thu May 05, 2016 3:39 pm

Rendon, Polanco, Tulo, JUP?

Fourslot40 · Post by **Fourslot40** » Thu May 05, 2016 8:30 pm

Saxton was pushing hard for Peter Bourjos and Tyler Goeddel this year. Gotta think he has inside info. We need to investigate Saxton more than anyone.

Starting to wonder about Kolten Wong.

How can Big Papi not be in the conversation? He's frickin 40 years old! He pulled a Konerko, that is declining for 2-3 years then suddenly gets good again. Maybe he's not in the next batch to be named but something ain't right
