If the drug wasn't a performance enhancer (in some way) than MLB would not have banned it.

I am not disputing Chris needs it.

But the drug obviously does something or it would NOT be banned!

In all due respect I disagree.

You may very well be correct and I have no clue.

But the drug does do this: "Adults with ADHD often struggle with planning, impulse control and easy distractibility. Adderall’s effectiveness in improving concentration, impulse control and attention span make it a desirable solution for these adults.

I have to think to would be beneficial while batting.

Again, just my opinion.

Adderall's effects have been argued to death in a ton of threads that included data from studies, personal experiences of posters, etc. If this needs to be re-debated, then please restart one of those threads and don't blow this nice thread for fanfest quotes to pieces. Thanks.

That gets into the fuzzy line between. Is working out a performance enhancer? Was Jim Palmer's stack of pancakes? Cup of coffee? Eyeglasses?

What is considered a performance enhancer is not what enhances performance, but what is listed as a PED in the Joint Policy. Period.

So Brady is performing off-Broadway in Grease?

My first thought was he was channelling Lou Reed.

Maybe when you need a prescription to buy Aunt Jemima mix

I was just illustrating there's a grey area. Some say Adderall is a PED, some say it's not. Weams' point stands tho, the Joint Policy is the law, whether you agree or not.

Two interesting quotes today on the radio during Bruce Cunningham's interviews with DD and Buck.

DD - Was asked about their defense and he said we are solid up the middle with Wieters, JJ and Jones. No mention of Schoop. Slip or intentional?

Buck - Said he talked with Peter Angelos yesterday and he said PA asked him before leaving what he needs to help the team. He said he has always been willing to spend money.

So Brady was on with Dan and Buck? Interesting....

It's obvious the Orioles are high on Brady. Maybe they want DD to show him the ropes then plan on letting him walk next year?

Mostly when folks talk of being strong up the middle they are specifically talking about C/SS/CF.

I guess Buck felt Jon Lester or Max Scherzer wouldn't have helped the team?
