I'll put out there... Trevor Story, Miguel Cabrera, and David Ortiz.
And Pablo Sandoval... but that's wishful thinking.

Surprised there hasn't been an A-Rod response yet, but I'm sure MLB would have leaked that immediately.

Mets · Post by **Mets** » Thu May 05, 2016 11:48 am

Justin Turner
Nick Hundley
Eugenio Suarez
Dee Gordon (2nd time)
Jake Arrieta

That's pretty much exactly why I didn't put him on my list.

Haha, didn't the interview say there was maybe only a couple of guys on 40 man rosters right now (not necessarily 25 man active) and that most were in the minors.

So why are you listing all these guys on active rosters?

And Trevor Story sells out for those HRs, hence the ugly K rate.

Because it's fun to speculate.

Doesn't mean he can't have used PED's. He hit 20 HR's in 130 games in the minors, and then he goes and hits 10 in 26 games in the majors? That screams "fishy" and as a recent minor leaguer getting a first invite to big league camp, maybe hoping to make an impression... pretty much the profile I would expect.

That said, I suspect most will be international players.

Yea, there are "no big names" coming out for this apparently.

Royals prospect Raul Mondesi Jr. has been suspended 50 games for performance-enhancing drugs.

First-time PED offenders typically get 80 games, but Joel Sherman of the New York Post says Mondesi was able to show Major League Baseball that the banned substance he took (Clenbuterol) came from a cold medicine. The young shortstop made his major league debut in the 2015 World Series. He had been stationed this year at Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Suspended for cold medicine. What a world.

Because my list was made up entirely of players from Pat's team. #WishfulThinking
