Upon arriving Thursday night, Cervelli told ESPNDeportes.com he felt extremely happy getting the opportunity to spend time again with one of his idols. "I'm looking forward to spending some time with Mariano because I feel like I was part of his career and I was very fortunate to have been behind the plate receiving his pitches," the 28-year-old Venezuelan said. "I'll live the rest of my days with that image in my head of every time I caught Mariano." How can you not like this kid?
Cervelli wasn't busted for roids, that is FUD. The Biogenesis 50 game suspensions were for HGH. None of those guys tested positive for steroids.
...not sure it was ever disclosed exactly who took what...and as far as I know none of those guys tested positive for anything.
I STILL say that baseball should release the entire 103 names & start off with a clean slate. If for no other reason but to take the fucking halo from above David Ortiz head.
I saw somewhere that it was ARod PR folks that gave up cervelli's name to yahoo sports at the beginning of the biogenesis scandal. Not sure what to believe at this point. As for the list, you can't publish that. The whole reason the testing was agreed to in the first place was because it would remain confidential. Personally I think Bud saw some of the folks he was suspicious of and those names got leaked. You can also see motive for owners to have wanted the controversy as a means to drive down salaries. No one is squeaky clean here.
I know that's what pissed most people off about that list is that it seemed like only a SELECTED few got released.
