Jeffress at it again, suspended 100 games; Latest -- Agent Audio Link

[JoeDirt]

20-21, 4.20 ERA, 274.1 IP, 216 H, 176 BB, 317 SO in 64 Games, 53 Starts. 10.4 Strikeouts per 9 Innings in his minor league career. Why does his era have to be 4.20? That's a bad omen.

[Tbadder]

Can we just respect his decision to tank his career. Lots of people do it on a daily basis. There are literally millions of people just like him, so what. If there are other things more important then I just don't see why it's so frustrating.

very interesting note from TH in the link with Jeffress's Agent:

 

if he were on the 40-man roster, he couldnt be tested for "drugs of abuse" because that is a clause written into the CBA for the MLBPA. It's kind of unethical, but I hope the brewers add him this offseason

If that is indeed the case, the Brewers almost have to add him to the 40-man this offseason to protect their investment. He would have to be added in 2010, so this would be adding him a year early.

or his spoiled punk client could just be a man, own his mistake, and stop smoking weed. rather than work around the system and make it so the kid can keep smoking and not get caught. btw, is there anyway to trade this guy before the suspension is over. this guy seems to have the will power and brains of a coconut. and honestly, he's not THAT talented.

to be fair, Agent Josh Kusnick didnt say that about putting him on the 40-man, it was just an interesting note from haudricourt after Kusnick had left the chat

Have you met him? Seen him pitch? I'm sorry, but comments like these don't belong on bf.net. Dude can throw 100 mph...everyone in baseball can do that...right?
