PED Suspension - 80 Games for Starling Marte
This sure deals a blow to the Pirates chances. Their #1 prospect, Austin Meadows, may be called up as a replacement.
It does seem like these suspensions have usually been incurred by lesser known major leaguers or minor leaguers. You would think that the millionaires would realize, by now, how much it will cost them and their teams. What a pity.

I felt bad for the team that had Marte in my fantasy league. That team had been in our league for a long time and been in the money very few times.
Turns out now, I have Bumgarner - what an idiot. I'm surprised there's not some clause in his contract that would deter him from doing 'hazardous' activities. He cost me >35% of my pitcher's budget. Arrrgh. |

I read an interesting take from a player re: PEDs and appropriate penalties for the players who are caught using them. The player suggested there be an earnings cap on players who receive PED related suspensions. That way there is a real deterrent to taking them. Take Melky for example, he was suspended for PEDs and then signed a $16 million dollar deal with Toronto, followed by an even bigger contract with the White Sox. This player suggested that the union vote to instate a rule that says any player caught using PEDs will not only serve a suspension, but be limited to the league minimum for the rest of their career. The point being that the only way to truly hurt a player is to go after their wallet.

That is very true, but, in this case, it will have a noticeable effect on the NL Central race. The Pirates don't have a replacement that even remotely fills Marte's shoes. His actions will have a negative ripple effect on his teammates and the Pittsburgh fans...and I thinks they deserve better. ...and once again, like Braun, Giambi, ARoid, bonds, Clemens, palmeiro and so many more...we will NEVER be able to tell exactly which statistics are legitimate. .
