The Associated Press is reporting that Tim Beckham has been suspended for violating the MLB drug program. This is Beckham's second offense under the program and will be serving a 50 game suspension. Beckham who was the Rays first round draft pick in 2008 was on the Bulls disabled list prior to the suspension.
From bust to busted. If he was playing better and not injured we could "Houser" him, but may as well let him sit until June 22nd.
ReplyDeleteMentioned on twitter earlier, Jose Lopez was DFAd by the Indians today, MIF who hits right-handed. Need some RH bats, only O'Malley (switch) and Albernaz in Durham now.
When He comes back it should be at another position. Hak-Ju Lee will pass Him at shortstop.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about Beckham, I dislike tossing the "B" word around since he is still young though.
ReplyDeleteAnd depending on what happens with the replacing Longo scenario it would seem that Lopez and/or Luke Hughes would be options. Hughes DFA when the A's grabbed Inge and is a corner IF.
Headed over to see Matsui make his XST debut this afternoon...
TB starting to miss Scelfo and Murrill yet? They should.
ReplyDeleteBUST!!!!! 1st overall pick cant figure it out or get it together... sad story for the Rays. I always thought Bortnick was better anyways!!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome is passing up on buster posey looking now
