Braun suspended

[Can_of_corn]

You're barking up the wrong tree. Maybe after you reflect on Braun's guilt for a while, you'll realize it. Or maybe not. Those who have demonized Bud Selig and MLB will give up that scapegoat very reluctantly.

I never said that Braun was innocent. His guilt is a separate issue with how MLB under Bud has handled this.

Both sides can be, and in this case are, wrong.

No. Just no. We don't need that sort of circus around our team. Chemistry, for whatever that's worth, is awesome and I don't want some roid rage ruining that for us.

Just a thought after the suspension. May be able to make an investment for next season.

Why on earth would you want him on the O's?

Yea, it would be just terrible to have a known steroid user on the team.

Thank goodness they don't have to worry about that.

At least we have a cute steroid user.

Let the Blue Jays sign him. Why would you want to sign a lying cheater?

[ADZ23]

Why not just sign him & Bonds? We'd surely win all 162 games but will you feel good about it?

We may have some suspects but no one like Braun, who was caught, and continued using.

Did you mean to say admitted?

Thread of the year here!

It couldn't be clearer that Braun is a selfish scumbag. He publicly roasted the drug tester. At the the time, he knew that not only were the drug test's results were accurate, but that he would continue to use the drugs that caused the positive test.

The O's most certainly have an admitted PED user on the roster.

Also, while I would not be shocked to find that Braun continued to use after his narrow escape, I have not seen any evidence pointing to it. Is there a timeline out there that shows his use after he avoided punishment?

[Can_of_corn]

At least we have a cute steroid user.

Very cuddly, sort of like a mini-roider.

I don't think paying a pariah 122 million dollars for his age 30-36 seasons is "buying low". Not worth the headache.

I'm not looking for a Braun on roids. I'm looking for a low cost, low risk, high upside investment tied to what would certainly be a performance based contract tied to routine testing. Unlike Bonds, Braun has owned up to the issue at hand, accepted responsibility, apologized and accepted his punishment. By the way, he's suspended without pay. Not sure he'll put his career at risk again after this. Lastly, the guy has awesome talent and would upgrade LF for us.
