Here's the AP story. Fifty games is not much of a deterent, IMO. All of these guys will be back at the start of next season. Basically getting a couple of months of vacation. Albeit not paid.

Any thought as to why almost all of these new names are Latino players?

Apparently most of the suspended players had the same agent (ACES sports agency).
It looks like a group of players who are friends or who have connections to the Miami Hurricanes and/or ACES sports agency shared this "source" amongst themselves privately. Unfortunately for them the "source" was careless enough to keep written records and they all got busted.
It seems like the list referenced above must be those players who accepted their 50 game suspensions. If players are fighting the action (ARod), we won't have those names until their appeals are finished ?

9 of the 14 names mentioned are clients of the ACES agency. ACES were/are under investigation for being linked to steroid/PED distribution. I don't know whatever became of the investigation, but Shane Victorino left the agency last season while it was being investigated.
Well at least one convicted criminal/former Major Leaguer thinks that Johnny Peralta is being selfish for accepting his suspension without appeal.
