Somewhere Between A-Rod And Clean
-
What's striking about the list of 12 players accepting 50 game suspensions in the Biogenesis scandal is that most are not stars at all. Nelson Cruz and Jhonny Peralta, maybe Antonio Bastardo and Jordany Valdespin are known quantities, but most are on the margins, and that says more about the desperation of marginal players to stay in the game than anything else. These aren't guys cheating to become or stay superstars on the McGwire/A-Rod level, they're guys hanging onto a roster spot. What they did was against the rules and 50 games seems about right, but it's not cheating to break records, it's cheating to retain a job. (Fox Sports)
