Only A Rod plans to appeal
quote:

There's one player who has no intention of making a deal. Alex Rodriguez's lawyer said Monday he plans to fight any suspension, and it could get ugly. Because MLB is going after Rodriguez for interfering with its investigation as well as for PED use, it is expected to punish him not under the drug policy, but under a catch-all "best interests of baseball" clause in the CBA. If so, Rodriguez would remain suspended while an appeal is heard by baseball's independent arbiter.


The players are:
Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees
Nelson Cruz, Texas Rangers
Jhonny Peralta, Detroit Tigers
Everth Cabrera, San Diego Padres
Jesus Montero, Seattle Mariners
Francisco Cervelli, New York Yankees
Fernando Martinez, New York Yankees (minors)
Cesar Puello, New York Mets (minors)
Fautino De Los Santos, Free Agent

Thrilled to see Cano's name not on the list. Whatever happened with that?

Rodriguez's parents are Dominican, but he was born in Washington Heights.

Every win that every one of these teams had this year while these players were in the line up should be forfeited.

And each of these players should be banned from setting foot in a Major League Stadium for life, under penalty of death.

These punishments must be enacted to protect The Kids.

Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton were both on something during their time in St Louis and Texas. No way their production drops off that much with the Angels.

Big Papi just had a roid rage by attacking the dugout.

I was a little skeptical, but attempting to covertly disrupt an active investigation into your own wrongdoing does seem like good grounds

I'll believe it when it happens, every day is a different "report" about this. ARod has said he is going to fight it as well

The thing that I take away from this report is that Hispanics and Jew are ruining the MLB.
