It's better than being a prejudiced hater, I think!

Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe he's trying to conceive.

Is their baby Manson Ramquez?

It was said that he couldn't say the source without making the player obvious. Who was the source, Volquez's agent? Mom?

[scOtt]

I was thinking the same thing Shack. What are they doing, leaking one clue at a time?

They get more hits that way...

That's what he's saying.

“Prior to the conclusion of last season, my wife and I sought medical advice in Cincinnati with the hope of starting a family. As part of my consultation with the physician, I received certain prescribed medications to treat my condition. As a follow up to our original consultation, my wife and I visited another physician in our home city in the Dominican Republic this past off-season. This physician also gave me certain prescribed medications as part of my treatment. Unfortunately, I now know that the medication the physician in the Dominican gave me is one that is often used to treat my condition, but is also a banned substance under Major League Baseball’s drug policy. As a result, I tested positive when I reported to spring training.

Volquez is a "semi-big name"? Hadn't even heard of him until now...

He broke out big time with the Reds in 08 after the Josh Hamilton trade. Spent much of last season on the DL.

Fantastic stuff, but control problems held him back in the Rangers' organization.

He won 17 games as a rookie two years ago.

Was on the shelf with injury much of last year and out for the first half of this year.

If it's an Oriole... here's hoping its Peter Angelos!

That would be horrifyingly ironic, wouldn't it?

If only that could make MLB force him to sell....................:rolleyestf:
