Other than Braun, sorry I didn't make it clear. I was implying outside of him, my oops

I don't see how he can get banned for life for PED use. Hes never tested positive. 1 failed test gets 50 games, a second gets 100 games.

Im sure they have a lot on him, maybe signed canceled checks, or order forms etc, maybe even cought on camera. So, like braun he should take a deal.

MLB prob wanted 100 games from braun, and they settled for 65 with no fight.

When suspended the player DOSNT get paid for the time hes on suspension. Do you think arod is going to walk away from 120million left on his deal? he will be back when if the question. Should take a deal now and come back when its over & collect his money.

Arod will not have a choice in the matter....

he is nailed and MLB will do with him what they please....

LIFETIME BAN (supported by and favored by the Yankees Front Office)

Brian cashman HATES THIS GUY!

He's gonna play this weekend so not sure why people vote for him not playing. Even if he gets banned for life he's going to appeal the decision, so he'll be able to play while appealing. They already said appeal decisions won't be till months/next season.

They more or less said that about Braun too..........if Arod can avoid banishment and come to some deal, I see him doing it THIS year since he's not in the best physical shape and he'll have to play into that. Just my opinion.......not entirely sure he has much mojo left though and he'll be a wallflower come HOF time with Sosa, Palmeiro, McGwire, Bonds, et al......

Despite my previous comment, I think it's pretty hard to justify banning when he's never even been suspended once. What kind of message does THAT send?

[brob28]

What I would really like too see is all records of those caught using PED's wiped out from the record books, banned from the HOF and any awards retracted. Most of these guys have enough money to be secure financially, but the shame and ego hit of losing their place in history would sting.
I'd also like to get to a point where all contracts can be voided and past income "clawed back" if a player is caugh using PED's as well. The only way to really stop abuse is to make the penalty so harsh it's not worth the potential loss.

While I wholeheartedly agree with dropping the hammer on these guys, I don't think the general baseball public cares.

Did anyone see the hero's welcome LA gave Manny?
Does anyone ask David Ortiz if he's still looking for whoever spiked his vitamins?
Did anyone even ask Pudge Rodriguez why/how he came to spring training a few years ago at half the size he was a year before?

AROD, Bonds, and Clemens are fun to hate. But for the most part, apathy rules.
