Baltimore Orioles player Jay Gibbons has been suspended. Gibbons has received a 15 game ban for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Jay’s suspension will start right away at the beginning of the 2008 season.
Also, the O’s have picked Randor Bierd, a right handed reliever. He was taken in the Rule 5 Draft from the Detroit Tigers. Last year in Double A, he struck out more batters then he allowed base runners. The O’s could use a few more relievers like him. Also taken in the Rule 5 Draft was southpaw Ryan Rodriguez, first baseman Tim Brown, and right handed pitcher J.P. Martinez. And, to top it all off, no teams took any of the O’s players in the Draft. Wait, maybe that’s a message: That there is no player in the farm system worth taking… - John T.
