  • Suspensions--Place your Bets

    I imagine almost all of us have skin in the game of who will be suspended for how long when. I know the pen is filled with knowledgeable folks who can put forth educated guesses based on available facts and logic, rather than on wishful thinking, so I figured I'd post a poll so that we can all see the pen consensus on these impending suspensions.
    38
    Never, MLB will suspend these guys, but it won't hold up
    0%
    5
    We will see all 20 guys start their suspensions this year
    0%
    4
    Players won't miss games until next year, because of lengthy appeals
    0%
    15
    Some guys will miss games now, while others will successfully appeal
    0%

    The only way you'll see players suspended this year is if they're minor leaguers (and not covered by the current CBA) or if MLB pressures them into a "settlement" based on multiple offenses. I don't think the latter will happen, but you never know. I honestly don't think MLB is going after anyone other than Braun/A-Rod for multiple offenses.

      I voted for option 3, but it's totally wishful thinking.

        My only skin in this game is Everth Cabrera and I'm performing every pagan ritual I can think of to keep him playing the rest of 2013. He and Ben Revere are my SB guys and with Revere done until late August at least I can ill afford to lose Cabrera. :-/

            Im torn here, maybe you can help me out.

            I am in 3 leagues...of all my teams, the only one I have on this "black sox" list is Ryan Braun on just one team (I am in first place with that team - a H2H points league). I have none of the other players anywhere. So should I be rooting for suspensions to take place this year to cripple everyone else, or should I be OK with replacing Braun with Mike Morse or Bourn (my bench replacements) for the H2H playoffs (not loving it).

                I doubt I could get anything for him until whatever happens happens.

                    So far, with 34 votes in, we are split exactly 50/50 (14 votes each) in terms of suspensions happening this year for some or all of the players. So, I guess what I'm learning is that anything can happen, and there is no consensus .
