The person or person's who leaked the results of the test have been lambasted by the media, Braun's 'people', and Major League Baseball.
On behalf of slow draft NFBC'ers, thanks for the leak, uh well, you know what I mean.
There is nothing worse than drafting a first round pick not knowing that the player is in for a 50 game suspension. Now, it is figured into our drafts.
That 'leaker' saved us countless stories of how slow drafts were ruined because of the suspension.
You're probably not welcomed much in the real world, but from us fantasy early season drafters, thanks.

He's referring to the fact that we even know Braun is going through this process, not the outcome of Braun's appeal (which should come any day).

If I'm not mistaken Braun's positive test should never have been released to the media thus enabling we as fantasy players to make a more informed decision on whether or not Braun is a 1st rd'er, before duh! now, w/ the very real possibility of a 50 gm suspension, not so much.
