Figure this might need it's own thread...Just on ESPN..11 current Free agents are named in the report and they have already been notified...Wonder if A-Fraud is among them.....

Holy crap....11 FREE AGENTS. Not 11 players.
To Hell with them being notified...what about US being notified?

Jackass, how will you break the news to the rest of the Jose Guillen Fan Club? ;D
The question is, do the names come out before people start signing?

I know Matt Williams (retired) and Ismael Valdez (retired or just unwanted?) are named as well.

So when is this damn report coming out? If 11 free agents are named, then that means there should be a LOT of players too. Name names. Tarnish legacies.

At minimum, there should be a rule inserted that says if you are on the list the team gets an option to void the contract. There probably are clauses like that, but it should be a public MLB rule. In fact, I seem to remember a clause like that with Giambi, except the Yanks were so stupid, they removed the word steroids.

Any word on when this going to be released. And I read that Mitchell is listed as a memeber of the board of the BoSox, an that he may have a conflict of interest here. I mean wouldn't he be inclined to sign or not sign someone based on this info?

Hey! I answered your question above - you guys need to start reading posts other than your own.
As to the report, if i read correctly it wont hit the streets till its presented in later December. So buy at your own risk!

Well according to Sportscenter, people got things mixed up. 11 free agents were contacted to talk to the Mitchell people for some stuff, not 11 free agents on the report.

Sorry I was blinded by that creepy picture of that wrestler.
Hey, I'm not a wrestling afficionado, but Tommy Rich was on TBS wrestling back in the day, right? and was he one of the Freebirds? Not to change subjects, just a passing thought.

Hey, you win a doughnut! Rich was indeed on Georgia wrestling....BUT he feuded with the Birds for the most part, rather than run with them. Although when the Freebirds imploded - kind of like the message boards, Rich found an unlikely ally in former Freebird leader Michael Hayes.
You can talk about this and other things related to Tommy Rich in the aplty named Tommy Rich thread in the wrestling section. See ya there!

That shouldn't be a shock. No way this would be limited to scrubs, and besides, steroids can MAKE MVPs and All Stars.

I had a long take a few years ago about Tino. I love him, but he's on that list. I know it.
