MLB receives Mitchell Report

Cripes! 60-80 names to be mentioned...that’s an awful lot of pitchers.

Major League Baseball officials are reviewing George Mitchell’s long-anticipated steroid report at the former Senate majority leader’s law offices, 21 months after commissioner Bud Selig asked Mitchell to investigate the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.

Officials arrived at Mitchell’s Manhattan office Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the investigation who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic, and began what is believed to be a 48-hour review period before Mitchell releases the report on Thursday. The report is believed to contain the names of 60-80 former and current players, according to sources, and is based in large part on information provided to Mitchell by former clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski.

Radomski is the only significant source?!?!?

Let's see...when was he with the Mets...
1985-95. There were well over 60-80 players on the Mets during that time. Joe Orsulak, Jeff Innis, Mackey Sasser, Ron Darling, Rafael Santana, Mark Carreon, Wally Whitehurst, Daryl Boston, Terry Leach, NONE of you guys are getting into the Hall of Fame!

I'm going to stick to Diamondbacks or ex-Diamondbacks that haven't already been named somewhere.

1. Luis Gonzalez
2. Tony Clark
3. Steve Finley
4. Jay Bell
5. Danny Bautista
6. Richie Sexson
7. Royce Clayton

I second the prayers for Gavin Eaton's name to be mentioned. Also Endy Chavez. And Jon Rauch, that guy is hideous and I don't want to see him in any more Gameday mugshots.

What I don't understand is this: If the powers that be really wanted everyone to take this seriously, why in the world would Selig appoint someone who is in a position to have a potential conflict of interest? No matter what the report says, there's going to be some group of people who will ALWAYS be able to bring up the fact that Mitchell has a conflict of interest, and therefore some or all of the findings are invalid.

Why should I believe this any more than the Blue Ribbon Economic Report?

5 years ago I came up with my top 2 "likely" roids users.

#1) Melvin Mora
#2) Doug Mientkiewicz

The "eye-ball test" is over used in this art of roids speculation. Ray Buchannon CB in the NFL, was likely the smallest football player in the league, yet he was busted for roids.

Looking forward to watching Mora fans suffer!

If uglitude and gangliness are acceptable criteria, I want to see Randy Johnson nailed up against the wall.

I hope we get to see an excerpt from the report stating that Jon Rauch is suspected of using hGH regularly from ages 5 to 15.

the article has some quotes by people interviewed by Mitchell.

"They didn't ask us those things because they didn't have the level of sophistication about what we do," said a National League strength coach. "They didn't know the right questions to ask. At no point in my interview did anyone say to me, 'What can we recommend to make sure this never happens again?'"

This is the key quote for me. This report is all show.

I'm getting a bit bothered by this "named in the report" meme. I know the media is going to go through the thing and identify every player whose name appears in it, regardless of whether they are severely implicated or just the subject of a vague rumor or even mentioned in a neutral way. Vague suspicion based on nothing can be funny, but vague suspicion based on a tiny shred of truth that gets twisted is a concern.
   42. Shooty Did Not Kill McGurk  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 08:39 PM (#2641942)
There are 60-80 names in the report. My guess is most of the names are guys no longer playing and most are players no one gives a #### about. I just don't think this is going to be the gossip goldmine a lot of people are hoping for. Sorry guys! Of course, if you vote Shooty in 2008, everyone will be a 'roider!

Ok, seriously, a NFL team doctor was caught ordering a distributing roids to players and nothing much came of it. 60-minutes did an expose on NFL PEDs. 10-12 NFL players were named in the BALCO investigation just like baseball. In fact, Elway and Marino were both implicated in PED use. The entire Steelers team, Panthers and mid-late 90's Broncos have been found to have adopted PEDs that have been banned.

Am I wasting my breath?

I've also got a good feeling about Jason Isringhausen but he doesn't make the list.

Cal Ripken, if on the list, is possibly the one person who would bring the whole damn sport down if his name was released. He isn't on the list. I hope. (Although I wouldn't be surprised if he used Greenies every at one point or another, and that's coming from a guy who went to Cooperstown to see him inducted.)

By the way: David Newhan.

And El Guapo... simply because the Red Sox Nation reaction would be interesting.

Babe Ruth will be on the list. "Hot Dogs" was soooo slang for HGH.

I have found that the random page button of B-Ref is a perfect thing to figure out who's on the list.

Pat Duff, Ray Barker, Jackie Sullivan, Francisco Oliveras and John Newell thought they could hide forever. But Mitchell has no doubt found the terrible truth. And if I was Mike Kume, I wouldn't feel safe either. NOBODY is safe, not even Harry Moore!

Edgardo Alfonzo


I always thought he was that gay NY baseball player. Remember that story?
   77. MSI  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 10:27 PM (#2642051)
Jeff Bagwell, Miguel Tejada, Jim Thome, Jeff Kent, Richie Sexson, Hank Blalock, The Yankees, Gabe Kapler, Jim Edmonds...

and to the list of unbelieveables, don't forget Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey Jr., and John Smoltz.

Also, remember that there will probably be more pitchers than expected...and that 60 to 80 players is about 2 to 3 players for each team, on average.

Have you folks learned nothing from recent threads? Here are my 5:

1. Alex Gonzalez
2. Ryan Braun
3. Steve Ontiveros
4. Jeff D'Amico
5. Bobby Jones
   82. Kiko Sakata  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 10:38 PM (#2642065)
my 5 guesses:

Paul Molitor
Ben McDonald
Kerry Wood
Kyle Farnsworth
Sammy Sosa

If the last one's too obvious, I'll go with John Valentin.

Believe it or not, there's a very slight method to my madness.

I could see Molitor.

Yet another Selig Brewer and HOF. That would have a huge impact. No doubt his name is being scrubbed from the list as we speak--if it were true. Yet, Selig and Molitor never cared much for eachother, Yount was Selig's fav Brewer.

I am curious what, if any, impact there would be on future HOF voting if somebody who's already in the Hall is found to have used steroids. Personally, I think it's pretty likely that somebody in the Hall of Fame used steroids, although I think it's much less likely that we'll ever find out for sure.

"J.D. Drew"

I would be very surprised if he named any Red Sox players.

Aw, what the hell:

Rich Aurilia
Scott Spiezio
Kevin Brown
Trot Nixon
Mike Sweeney

I thought Spiezio had already been implicated. Maybe that was for recreational drugs.
   89. Posada Posse  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 10:57 PM (#2642094)
Spiezio went to rehab last season for recreational drugs, but I've never heard him be implicated with steroids before. I could be wrong though.
   90. zoobird  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 10:57 PM (#2642096)
Pat Burrell
Marcus Giles
Ricky Henderson
Jeff Kent
Luis Gonzalez

I'm blanking on the name of one guy I wanted to include. Middle reliever on the Mets and bunch of other teams. Pretty good for a while. I think his first name was Dennis.
   91. robinred  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 10:58 PM (#2642098)

Cook.
   92. Kiko Sakata  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:00 PM (#2642107)
I'm not really sure why, but I think finding out that Rickey Henderson used 'roids would probably upset me more than anyone else.

Eddie Gaedel

It's hard to make the majors when you're under 4 feet tall any other way.
   94. zoobird  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:03 PM (#2642112)
Robinred - Thanks! That's him. I'll count him in my five instead of Burrell.
   95. Neil Kinnock...Lord Palmerston! (Orinoco)  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:09 PM (#2642114)
If you want Dennis Cook, might as well put Turk Wendell in too.
   96. zoobird  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:11 PM (#2642115)
95 - Haha...I actually thought of Wendell first, but decided Cook was slightly more likely.
   97. Neil Kinnock...Lord Palmerston! (Orinoco)  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:12 PM (#2642117)
Turk Wendell
Amando Benitez
Jorge Julio
Bruce Chen
Mike Stanton

All Met all crappy PED bullpen.
   98. Random Transaction Generator  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:13 PM (#2642118)

2. Andy Phillips
3. Juan Rivera
4. Aaron Harang
5. Dontrelle Willis

Turk Wendell
Amando Benitez
Jorge Julio
Bruce Chen
Mike Stanton

All Met all crappy PED bullpen.

Plus Guillermo Mota and Scot Schoeneweis, but they probably don't count since they've already been suspended/named.
   100. aleskel  Posted: December 11, 2007 at 11:21 PM (#2642129)
you know Arnold Rothstein is going to be on the list

"well, we finally got him!"
