Mitchell Report Open Chat

by Andrew on Dec 13, 2007 8:49 AM PST in News

The Mitchell Report is supposed to be released at 10:00 Pacific Time today, naming upwards of 80 big leaguers who have recieved steroids. Since the massive hysteria around the subject and subsequent witch hunting has made me not care at all, I'm down to two things that I care about with the release of the report: will any Dodgers be named (and subsequently suspended), and gambling.

So, make your predictions here. What current and ex-Dodgers will be named? Who's going to be the skinny guy on the list that no one suspected? Who's going to be proof that steriods don't help at all? You decide on any categories you want. Get it right, and get entered into the True Blue LA prediction Hall Of Fame.

I'm calling Craig Counsell as the unlikely guy.

Update>>The Report. I think F.P. Santangelo wins for being both the most unlikely guy, and as proof that roids do nothing.

Oh, please,

Let one be Pierre.

Gagne
Sheff
Piazza
Kent
A. Jones?
J.D. Drew (that's just my hope)
David Wells (yeah, he was here ... remember)

I'd say Straw too, but he seems to have just missed the known time period.

-No research has gone into the selection of these players, outside reading a list of former Dodgers players on Wikipedia and stopping at ones that catch my eye.

My $0.02...

My pick for the unsuspected skinny guy who will be revealed in the Mitchell Report: Paul DePodesta!!!

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Giants fan...

You're right

forgot about the "skinny guy" pick.

I'll go with Milton Bradley. If he doesn't count, as he's not exactly a twig, I'll say ... Alex Cora. Why not.

Shit burgers.

I'm reading the report online because I got tired of waiting.

Here are some guys I've noticed on LA who've 'roided up.

Todd Hundley
F.P. Santangelo
Chris Donnels
Todd Williams
Phil Hiatt
Adam Riggs
Paul Lo Duca
Kevin Brown
Eric Gagne
Matt Herges
Jeff Williams

... We didn't exactly get off light, did we?

Depodesta

DePodesta's Lo Duca trade is looking better and better.
