2 minor leaguers suspended 50 games

[Danny Serafini]

Just heard on the broadcast, P Ramon Ramirez suspended 50 games for performance enhancing drugs, P Justin Mallet suspended 50 games for drugs of abuse.

Are those two guys in our system?

[KronoRed]

Yep.

I heard it also, but they really did not go into detail about where they were assigned and what part of the system.

Mallet's not on a roster, but I guess he could be with the rest of the extended spring training crew. What a party that must be...LaRue, Wilson, Gruler, Pauly, Gardner, Long, McCracken, Moran...It's like a bad reality show, "Survivor, Extended Spring Training."

Mallett was one of my favorites from the Dragons. Real good change up, tall righty, a bit of a late bloomer. Put up solid numbers on each level. It seems that he didn't report directly to any team last season out of camp, if my memory serves me correctly Perhaps this is a recurring problem, hence the 50 games. Hopefully he gets his life in order. I'm assuming this means what little prospect tag that he had (and as far as I could tell it was a real small tag) may have just gone up in smoke, no pun intended.

I hope he gets things in order.
