Schafer, Glavine, and Hampton Updates
Written by Colin on April 17, 2008 – 10:11 amA Jordan Schafer Update
Reports are now mentioning that Schafer was busted through the new MLB tip line to report players using performance enhancing drugs. Apparently someone reported Schafer and then the MLB investigators found the allegations to be true. There are a couple issues I have with a line like this – one being that people with personal vendettas can theoretically try and nail their enemies by planting something like HGH – which is untraceable in tests. I’m not saying that’s what happened to Schafer, but it’s not impossible. Schafer wants to tell his side of the story – and it’ll come out soon I’m sure, but the real verdict will never be reached unless the MLB investigation is released and we can find out what was found.
Glavine Likely to Pitch Saturday
Tom Glavine threw off a mound yesterday and was throwing pretty hard without pain. Assuming no complications or bad feedback from his hamstring, we should see him pitch Saturday against the Dodgers. We’ll hope he comes back effectively and doesn’t have any negative feedback.
Hampton Throws Off Mound
Mike Hampton threw off a mound yesterday and apparently felt no pain, so we should see him make a rehab start or two before being back at the big league level. No word yet on where or when those rehab starts may be. We’ll hope (yet once again) that he can stay healthy.
