reedjohnsonfan Verified Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 He was already a great power hitter when he played in Cuba, so yes, I'd be surprised. Don't they have access to some stuff in Cuba? It's possible.
reedjohnsonfan Verified Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Stuff? Weed, it's possible, lol. Haha they basically no weed at all there, HGH though maybe.
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Chris Davis? EE? (Hope not) Stanton? f*** Chris Davis, the entire 25-man roster of the Orioles, immediate 50 game suspension Screw it...entire 40-man roster....can't leave anything to chance.
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Stuff? Weed, it's possible, lol. If you're caught with any s*** there it's a long prison sentence. Cuba is the safest place for any tourist to go. Dictatorships are awesome....too bad it's a commie one.

Dictatorships are awesome....too bad it's a commie one. "Dictatorships are awesome" Possibly the most non politically correct statement ever issued on this board lol And yea f*** the O's
CJ-Freeway Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Lol @ Stanton needing steroids, most powerful hitter in baseball. Just taking wild guesses. Nothing personal.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 This has some great information about the scandal as a whole.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) This has some great information about the scandal as a whole. Thanks for the link. These guys appear to be the type of writers that at least see steroids as science as well (I consider PEDs to be no different than any other technological advancement, which allows athletes to improve). I doubt I'll read their book (until I can get it on tape) but I'll check out their online content for sure. Edited August 6, 2014 by TheHurl
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 One of the guy's arrested with Bosch was Juan Carlos Nunez, who had worked for the major baseball agency ACES-- which represented Melky Cabrera and Nelson Cruz, among many others-- and was linked to several up-and-coming Dominican players. ACE clients include David Wright, Dustin Pedroia, Gio Gonzalez, Joaquin Benoit, Grant Balfour, Brandon Phillips, Marlon Byrd and Matt Joyce.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 ACE clients include David Wright, Dustin Pedroia, Gio Gonzalez, Joaquin Benoit, Grant Balfour, Brandon Phillips, Marlon Byrd and Matt Joyce. I could see Byrd being named. Wasn't Gio named before, but not suspended?
43211234 Verified Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Don't they have access to some stuff in Cuba? It's possible. It is likely just coincidence but the sudden flood of studs from Cuba is suspicious.
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 I could see Benoit, Phillips and Balfour (roidrage) being users aaaaaaand this is how rumors start
HERPDERP Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 I wonder if angrioter is actually a buscone and also provides young DR's with supplements ;o
TheHurl Site Manager Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I could see Byrd being named. Wasn't Gio named before, but not suspended? yeah Gio volunteered for both blood and urine tests just days after the reports came out.
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 The Reddit link suggests that steroids are very big in Cuba. Does anyone think Puig or Cespedes gets named in the report? I would not doubt them to be on roids considering just how massive they are.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 It is likely just coincidence but the sudden flood of studs from Cuba is suspicious. "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talking... you talking to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the f*** do you think you're talking to?" http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/mlb/players/full/32574.png&w=350&h=254
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (I could have used Cespedes or Abreu I know, but picking on Puig is like a sport unto itself now)
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Steroids have never really been an issue in Cuba, I would expect them to be extremely difficult to acquire even if there is someone that can supply the players. You don't need to use PED's to hit well in the Cuban National League, however whether they got some under-the-table substance once they defected is entirely possible. Players like Abreu, Cespedes and Chapman were already beasts in Cuba (and international play as well), so it's not like for them to succeed in the MLB was completely out of the blue, good baseball players will be good anywhere they play.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 ACE clients include David Wright, Dustin Pedroia, Gio Gonzalez, Joaquin Benoit, Grant Balfour, Brandon Phillips, Marlon Byrd and Matt Joyce. *fingers crossed*
