    Do the Reds have anybody linked to PEDs

    ...from this Biogenesis place?? CNN is reporting up to 20 MLBers about to be suspended, including Braun and A-roid. Curious if we know of anybody else...

    I saw the list. No Reds on it. Grandahl was on it, as was Everth and Melky Carbrera. Also Gio Gonzalez. One player was out of baseball and another was a minor leaguer.

    I KNEW it!
    ...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

    Yes, we all did, in our hearts, and now we have to decide if that thing should be legal or what might happen without it.

    Half the guys on this list should ask for their money back from Biogenesis.
    For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

    Purely speculative, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Yonder Alonso's name added to this list. Miami grad, friend's with Grandal etc.

    So anyone who has ever been to Miami should be a suspect? Miami produces a whole lot of baseball players who wind up as professionals. They have two guys that have shown up on these lists.

    With their combined -0.6 WAR so far this season (through 43 innings), I think they actually could do better.

    Funny, but the biogenesis connection could be the only reason they remain in the majors. PEDs are a problem at all levels of baseball, not just the majors.
