My guess is Kameron Mickolio. He just couldn't handle the pressure of being so wanted and looked for any advantage that he could get. Nice!

If we are now talking NL Central, we are forgetting Cincinnati.

Bronson Arroyo is a possibility.

Bronson Arroyo is a possibility. He was in the mitchell report, right?

Oswalt opted to bypass back surgery and went with a rest and "rehabilitation" approach. Say it aint so, Roy!

Well, damn, that was like playing spin the bottle with beautiful women and never having the bottle point our way.

Quick! Somebody start another rumor thread about something to fill up the next four hours until first pitch.

SI.com's Jon Heyman reports that Edinson Volquez has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Finally, the big reveal. Volquez is on the 60-day disabled list as he recovers from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to be healthy until well after the mid-July All-Star break. He can begin serving the suspension while on the DL, though, so this whole ordeal shouldn't cut into his playing time.

Is this a joke? Am I reading this right?

So if you're on the DL and expected to recover in three months, please, go ahead and shoot some PED. If they don't catch you, you'll be back in a month and throwing fire and maybe get a comeback player of the year award and fat extension...if they do, well you're back to original schedule as the 50 game suspension is being applied WHILE YOU CAN'T PITCH.

Take that, honest hard working injury plagued player trying to make it back.

I don’t like the fact that he can serve his suspension while on the DL. It sort of incentivizes players to take enhancements to speed healing.

headhunters · Post by **headhunters** » Tue Apr 20, 2010 8:30 am

i read where he can serve the suspension while on the dl. really stickin' it to 'em huh bud. in related news- mike gonzalez on his way to see dr. freeze. scratch him off your list. another "smart" gm blowing 12 million.

It is a joke that they can serve the suspension while on the DL, but they do not get paid.
