OT: anyone else think it's dumb that amphetimines are a banned substance?

that's a tough one
it does give the player taking them an energy boost. though i imagine they could get that “legally” from 5 hour energy or having a cup of coffee or something like that. it’s a slippery slope…

Some amphetamines should be banned.
You don’t want players shooting meth or popping greenies willy-nilly.
On the other hand, I’ve had a Ritalin prescription for almost 15 years now, and that’s technically an amphetamine too. If that’s what people are getting caught for, that’s a bunch of bullshit.

I hear tell you’re thinking of trading for Jon Rauch of my Nationals. A much better, cheaper option.

unless Street’s injured, he’s an excellent pitcher. relative to their potential cost (trade and salary), Rauch might be the better option.

stealing a quote from the Brewers game chat
"Twins general manager Bill Smith, on Livan Hernandez, who improved to 10-6 with a 5.29 earned-run average with Saturday’s victory over Texas: "I’ll take the (10) wins. Who do you want, a guy who’s 10-15 with a 2.80 ERA or a guy who’s 16-8 with a 7.00 ERA? I’ll take the 16-8."

Okay, fine. If the 7.00 ERA pitcher somehow has better peripherals than the 2.80 ERA pitcher (ridiculously unlikely), then you've got a point.
Somehow I don’t think that’s what Bill Smith was talking about.
This may just be smoke-blowing for the purposes of justifying Liriano remaining in the minors.

Because of Steals
Rookie of the Year, AL: Jacoby Ellsbury, Red Sox.
Ellsbury is hitting only .269 but he has stolen 35 bases and scored 60 runs. He gets a slight edge over Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria and Texas’ David Murphy.

Rogers was the same guy who awarded teams

As the new kid on the block this spring, Morrison stuck out like a sore thumb—particularly with Oregon’s high school crop being one of the weakest in years. His combination of a lefthanded bat, speed (6.6 seconds in the 60) and center-field skills drew comparisons at a similar stage of development to Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, an Oregon high school product drafted in the first round three years ago out of Oregon State. The difference, though, according to scouts is that Morrison has a better arm than Ellsbury. There were concerns with Morrison’s bat early in the season, especially after he failed to hit even .300 as a high school junior, but he showed significant improvement over the course of the spring and his interest from scouts kept pace—to a point that he became the clear-cut top prospect in Oregon this season. Scouts are still not sold on his true hitting ability as he batted just .382-1-12 (along with 17 stolen bases) for Tigard High against below-average Oregon high school pitching. But he has good hitting mechanics and should take off as he gets stronger—though there is a lot of projection involved with his bat. Morrison arrived on the Oregon baseball scene in a round-about way after spending his junior season at a Chesapeake, Va., high school, only to move with his family to Hawaii during the summer and on to Oregon in time for the 2008 season. He was a key piece of the University of Oregon’s first recruiting class.—ALLAN SIMPSON
