Jays shutdown Bautista and get bad news on a prospect
In a year that it felt like it could not get any worse for the Jays they got even worst as their first supplementary in the first round pick in this years draft Marcus Stroman was suspended by baseball for 50 games after having a positive drug test for having methylhexaneamine in his system. He says that he took it as apart of a over the counter supplement that he got from a chain store and it seems like the Duke University pitcher need something to give himself some more energy and make himself less tired.
Stroman who was looking like the most polished prospect in the draft and had the best chance to make a major league roster this September when the rosters expand and the so-called expects were saying that he could of pitched in a bullpen of a playoff contender down the stretch. So it looks like it is clearly a mistake as it is something to keep people awake and focused longer and Stroman will now while he sits 50 games and his growth in baseball in shut off for a while into next season and he will not be able to pitch after spring training for a while. He will diffidently need to think twice about what is on the label and make sure it is not against the rules in baseball as the majors are cracking down after the embarrassment of the Ryan Braun incident in the off season where the NL MVP was catch with a PED in his system and the sample disappeared and he got off with nothing.
Jose Bautista after not getting through two games with the Jays after coming off the DL had another MRI and it showed that he needed surgery and will be gone the rest ofg the season but will be ready for spring training. It is still a mystery of what kind of power he will have next season as Edwin Encarnacion and Lyle Overbay both had this injury and Encarnacion took two years to get back to full strength and Overbay never did.
A really tough season
