Mitchell Report Thread (Nothing to see here! Drugs are bad. Crisis averted!)

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

George Mitchell is not naming any Red Sox players. None of note, anyway.

so watch out Manny Alexander! Oh wait he's already been nailed for 'roids.

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

Exactly. I would stunned if there are any Red Sox named tomorrow.

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

If ARod stays off the list, I think baseball in general will breathe a sigh of relief.

I have a feeling Schilling gets on it.

Have a feeling the majority of the names will be ho-hum, but there will be a couple of "Holy Shits".

It looks like Yankee haters might get their wish.

According to Klapish in the Bergen record...

Regardless of where the pendulum rests, this will be a sea-change moment in baseball history, particularly in New York. According to one industry official, "several" prominent Yankees will be named by Mitchell in his 2 p.m. news conference in Manhattan. The official, who spoke to a third party who'd seen the final report, predicted, "It's going to be a rough day in the Bronx" after the identities are made public.

No Mets from the current 40-man roster are named, according to the same source

As a Tribe fan boy "looser," I'm hoping Hafner's name isn't included, though his drastic dropoff last season certainly makes me suspicious.

The Yankees stuff is over a year old.

Sure hope the "prominent" Yankee is someone other than Clemens, Pettitte or Giambi ...

I smell a letdown across the board in that we won't get 'new' names. And by 'new' I mean names that come absolutely out of nowhere.

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

The comment leads me to believe that it not just going to be Pettitte and Giambi.

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

Meaning who?

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

Meaning someone we have not heard over the past year or so. (Damon, Matsui, Abreu, Jeter, A-Rod)

 

Re: The Running Mitchell Report Thread (Coming Soon: MVPs and all-stars!)

Depending on the source, fifty to eighty players will be named. If one includes those who have already failed a test, outed themselves or otherwise been revealed, that's over sixty players already. Unless those 50-80 are new names, this will primarily be old news in a new package.
