Edinson Volquez suspended for PEDs

PrintAccording to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated. Check out the tweet here: http://twitter.com/SI_JonHeyman. Story should be posted up on SI.com soon.
I'm sure he was just using it to recover from injury. Nothing to see here.
Does anyone suspect that the player he was traded for might have been using PEDs as well? His drop in power is really unexplainable. Guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Just a thought.

i've had the same thought
is PED testing and drug testing two different things?
You hear about the "Electric Arms", they're all the rage.

I thought so
I think they differentiate between illicit drugs (coke, meth, etc) and PED’s (HGH, steroids, etc.). Although I could be wrong.

So, after recovering from Tommy John and the suspension
I guess he gets to pitch again in about 2012?

Isnt the difference
that his suspension time takes up a 40 man spot where the 60 DL doesnt?

Wasn't he

So assuming he isn't healthy by game 112
What would keep the Reds from reinstating him to make sure he finishes the suspension this season?
No I don't think Josh has done or is doing PEDs
His drop in power IMO is due to him not making adjustments along with the league to him. In 2008 20 of his 32 HRs came on either the 1st or 2nd pitch of an AB. he was coming over from the NL and not many people knew him yet and so guys were trying to get ahead of him early in alot of counts. It appeared he would be sitting fastball middle in that first pitch and when he got it he would send it a long way.
Now teams and pitchers have adjusted to him and most everything is down and away. It appears he has finally adjusted and is taking that stuff opposite field so hopefully he will now start incorporating power into those oppo shots. Once he does that and pitchers have nowhere to pitch him safely then the steady power numbers should come back IMO.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

well, that isn't the case in San Diego
at least for the weather. But I guess the Padres do have Matt Bush.
When I’m saying that, I don’t really mean disappointments, like Botts (ha) or run-of-the-mill injuries (Hurley, Diamond). I mean the devastating gut punch career defining type of disasters – Mateo’s leg, David Clyde…
Go Rice Owls!
Yeah, I will say. . .
. . . that does seem more true of north Texas than it does most places I’ve spent a bit of time.
The most extreme weather shifts I’ve ever seen are in New Mexico, but I believe a lot of that is the elevation (I lived at 6700).
You're just close to the situation is all.

The Padres have their share as well.
What about Stauffer?
That was a shitty deal right there.
Similar to Dickey, only with a much higher pick.
We do seem to have more than our fair share of “God is against us…” moments, but every team has some.
Dickey not having all the required human elbow parts… Sinisi getting AIDS… Michael Main catching Sinisi’s aids… Mateo’s Leg…. Gutierrez taking ADD meds… Hank Blalock infecting the entire clubhouse with TOS…. the list goes on.

It would've come out during his physical if he'd signed, but, yah, he got out in front of it and came clean.
So even though he didn’t have to, he pretty much fucking had to.
I’d say he gets MUCH bigger points in the negative for knowing his shoulder wasn’t “feeling normal” after his last start at the end of May and not bothering to mention it pre-draft and/or get it checked until July when he knew he was about to have to take a physical when he signed, which at that point was looking pretty likely.
I don’t see why anyone would give him points for what he did.
I can see why the Padres tried to spin it that way, but… No.

that cliche is great
because everyone uses it everywhere. I grew up in OK, and Will Rogers is credited for saying it about Oklahoma. The statement is pretty much true everywhere, although I like it when people from different states argue that it’s really about their state. That always cracks me up

It's not about my state.
What you see in the morning is usually what you’ll get every day. It might change dramatically from day to day, but that’s different.
Although if I hadn’t traveled so much, I’ll bet I’d claim it was about my state.
Or when people say
“That’s just my luck,” as if they are possibly the most unlucky person in the world.
Well at least it isn't a Ranger,
although weirdly enough, still connected in the long run.
"Big whoop, wanna fight about it?"
Dude
You could do a family tree of all PED offenders and eventually find a Rangers link. We is who we is.
"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
Then he grounded out weakly to second.
Heh. We're the Kevin Bacon of PED's in the MLB.

WTF???
jcrasnick Just talked to Pat Courtney of MLB. He said Edinson Volquez’s suspension begins immediately, even though he’s on the DL.

Yep, he'll lose 50 games pat.
but won’t miss 50 games (because of the suspension anyways).

if you undergo TJ surgery it is OK to use PEDs during recovery IF you can afford the salary loss.

Neftali Feliz - 2011 Rolaids Relief Man Award
Ignore my question from above then
Thats a stupid ass rule then. If you’re out for a long time you pretty much have no reason NOT to do PEDs
that doesn't make sense...
why would Cliff Lee’s suspension count once he came off of the DL. I understand that they were for different reasons, but still
Well now that you put it that way,
why not do them?

I don't think Hamilton used PEDs
But I do think he has changed his approach. His OBP is higher than it was when he was posting big SLG numbers. The change seemed to happen when he was out for a month with injury last year. I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll ever see the power again.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
If we don't there's no reason for him to be hitting in the middle of the lineup.
He doesn’t hit for a high enough average, steal bases or walk enough. Bet he wishes he’d signed that contract the rangers offered him a while back.

I ask this question every time
and don’t think I ever get an answer.
Does this suspension result in the player losing his salary for that time? Are the Reds on the hook for his pay?
Go Rice Owls!
Per
this story he will lose his salary for that time.

I suspected as much.
Seems like a team with a burdensome contract should just slip something special into their albatross’s Vitamin B shots, like Miguel Tejada did to Palmeiro…
Go Rice Owls!
I'd wonder if the team would still have to pay that out, but into a no-drugs fund or something
Then the team would have a vested interest in keeping its players off PEDs, in big part to prevent JBI’s scenario above and in big part to have that extra motivation to keep PEDs away

Although he is not sure when, Radomski recalled that Lo Duca called Radomski and told Radomski that Gagnewas with him and wanted to buy human growth hormone.

Not quite. I was referring to this:
After admitting he had “regrets” about his career, Eric Gagne tells the Los Angeles Times that he used human growth hormone when he was a dominant closer for the Dodgers.
Columnist T.J. Simers quotes Gagne as saying he used HGH to help himself “get better” after suffering a knee injury in spring training of 2005.
“I’m so ashamed. It wasn’t smart,” Simers quotes Gagne as saying. “If I knew what I know now. … I didn’t need it. I regret it so much, just now maybe getting over the guilt. It was stupid.”
He added: “I will have to live with the mistake that I made for the rest of my life.”

the numbers for ADD and baseball are insane, did a little reading up on it/talking to will carroll a while back about it (right after kinsler started taking it) and the # of MLB players who take it are insanely high
essentially, instead of taking greenies after the MLB outlawed them, MLB players simply got ADD meds instead (not much different than greenies, but allowed per the rules)
that said, if i was busted for roids i would most def be saying i was trying to start a family, etc or had ADD to try to save my image
side note, but was it ever proved that DGut actually had an ADD med script?

that was the williams/vikings/starcaps stuff
ESPN reported earlier that testing showed Ramirez had used hCG, which is typically used by steroid users to restart their bodies’ natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

I don't think religion has any bearing on whether or not you smoke or not.
My dad smoked his entire life then began going to church regularly when he was 45. I highly doubt he stopped.

Baptist potheads
One of my best friends is a devout Baptist- regular churchgoer, does volunteer work as a Christian youth minister, wife is a seminary graduate- and he’s the biggest pothead I know.

only 38 games left for Gutierrez's suspension
after today, that is
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
do we know if he actually has ADD meds
or just claimed it — that was during my hiatus from LSB when it all happened lol

he had a prescription for the ADD meds
Rangers GM Jon Daniels on the Danny Gutierrez suspension. While the Rangers acknowledge Gutierrez had a prescription for Adderall, they are disappointed he didn’t act responsibly to apply for the necessary waiver to take it and not risk suspension.

You could use the “I” key

Just doesn’t look as good though.

That shit looks confusing.
I just find it easier to read the pitchers line when using | instead of commas.

Re: Cruz and his boomstick
Has anybody done a photoshop with Cruz and Evil Dead/Army of Darkness yet? Cruz with a chainsaw for a hand just seems like a necessity if people are going to keep using that term.
josh doping
In case you were thinking that josh was doping…if you have read he autobiography, you would know the answer. He was and as of last year was still being tested for EVERYTHING under the sun. His tester traveled everywhere with him including vacations. I would give you the exact quote but my copy is at home and I’m at work.

Why does everybody need to have that view for him to post what he said?
It’s not like he chastised people on here. Just responding to one thing that was said.

I was just pointing out who first brought it up.
Not saying I agree with it. I think with all the testing he goes through it would be near impossible for him to do anything.
Volqueso was a pretty cool nickname.

Darnell McDonald is in the #RedSox clubhouse. That likely means that Ellsbury is headed for the disabled list.

Ya Ellsbury and Cameron down, with no Lackey and Lester,
plus we get Wakefield, who we have hit before. Boston isn’t the Boston that we thought it would be, but still a formable opponent.

Almost wish they did face him.

I figured when Lackey signed the deal it would turn into a Millwood type scenario.
