count the number of bike riders who have been suspended for PED. Asking me when someone is performing at a high level if it is due to the PED.

I do not mean that it is the only solution, it is a suggestion, but you should look at as many options as possible. Otherwise the risk is that you end up where bicycling is today. It has big credibility problem. ...

yeah but as a GM how do you know who is using and who isnt using? Just because someone hasnt been caught doesnt mean they arent using. You basically just have to hope the guy you sign isnt on PED's

Agree with Ninja that contracts should be lower for Known PED users because you dont know if the PED's were the reason for their statistics. But unfortuantely talent wins out and teams will pay those they feel will bring them what they need no matter what

I wasn't necessarily suggesting that no team would offer a contract. Just that the contracts would be lower (like Melky Cabrera last year).

How can x be able to prove that he was not offered a contract because of the PED? Y and his team can always argue that this is because they think that y will perform better as a baseball player. ...

I understand exactly what you mean, but I think this way, if we have two players who are x and y. X has used PED. Y have not been using PED. Y is offered a contract. X will not be offered a contract.

wow that was weird. but to finish if no team offered a contract to PED users who can still play that would be unusal and I think the players union would be asking alot of questions as to why

it is self regulating but I think the players union would think it odd that no team would offer contracts to players who can still play the ga m

It is better to spend the money on other players. I fail to see how they could be sued. I could be wrong? Feel free to explain to me what you mean. It could be, as I think ninja mean, a self-regulating system.

In Kemp, a thought, a player who become old enough loses his true talent, he is no longer good enough and then he gets no new contract. Is it not reasonable to reason in the same way with players who have used PED? They are no longer good enough.

i believe if no one offered PED users contracts then they could sue th owners for possible collusion. They are better off putting harsher penalties in the majors and minors to try and fix the problem
-
The way I see it, bodies just fall apart after cutting the PED use. Or players just return to their mean talent level. Either way you don't get what you paid for in terms of stats.

I suspect that the Cards are regretting Peralta fairly soon afterwards and whomever pays Cruz will be doing the same.

I think the matter will police itself, the Jays are already regretting a relatively modest contract that they handed to Melky Cabrera last year. The Yanks clearly regret the A-Rod deal (although they may get bailed out of that).

Since I'm curious of me and interested in others' opinions, I wonder if it's okay to pay the players who have used PED? Should the clubs at all give these players new contracts? Or is it that one should allow PED?

Does it not also matter that Cabrera will be 31 years next season and that he has a contract until 15? If I'm not mistaken? Is it not possible that some of the money is used to extend his contract?

In the end I think it favors the Tigers since they free up more money to use in the future. But for this year it allows Profar to play full time and makes the Rangers better overall
-
castellanos hadn't played there in a few years and they'd still have an outfield slot open.

Doesn't it appear that they would slot Castellanos in at 3B? Assuming that they think he can play the position defensively
-
from Texas's standpoint they had better won a series in the next 2-3 years.

Depends what Detroit's next move is. If they can add a decent 3B then i like it for them. It will be a massive defensive upgrade for them next season with a whole year of Iglasias, a new 3B and miggy replacing prince at 1B.

I think that Detroit might have made their team "worse" by replacing Fielder's production with Kinsler's, but 4 years from now Texas will still have a huge contract to pay to Fielder and Detroit will have that money to spend on other players

Kinsler-Fielder. Who gets the most out of the trade? Tigers or Rangers?
