If three men who were sober and clean decided it was a brilliant idea to take a speedboat out on the ocean at one in the morning with the knowledge that there were unseeable deadly hazards in the dark around them, I would be bewildered. It makes sense now.

Did I miss something, but why wasn't the Tim Crews boat accident mentioned?

Makes you wonder how many of these players are using cocaine etc.

Don't these guys get drug tested on a regular basis? If he used cocaine i would think it would be in his system for a while say if he didn't die or crash and went back the next day or so to play.

They test for drugs of abuse if they believe there is reasonable cause to suspect a player of abusing drugs. That doesn't mean if a player fails, that anything happens. They could recommend a treatment program for them. They won't get suspended though.

Drugs of abuse suspensions only apply to minor league players not on the 40-man roster. There have been rumors of a couple instances of teams adding players to the 40-man roster to protect them from lifetime suspensions under the minor league drug prevention program.

With everything these guys have to lose you'd think they put the hard drugs far far away. Drink and drink, use a driver the team would be thrilled to provide.

I know it's not a great thought, but now I look at all the videos of Fernandez going manic in the dugout differently. Was he going back to the bathroom and having a few toots on days he wasn't starting? I have no idea. But certainly makes you wonder.

RIP. None of this makes him a terrible person. Just someone who made some terrible choices.
