Alex Mauricio Is In Trouuubbbllleee!!

Quick note because the bottom line it, it’s still puzzling to me that now that Major League baseball has the drug policy in place, players are still using and still getting in trouble.  If you are minor leaguer Alex Mauricio, you really have some explaining to do. You aren’t even a major leaguer yet. Plus, you gotta wonder if this suspension hurts his chances in that. I’m sure it will.

Anyway, the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier simply writes:

“OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF BASEBALL — Suspended Boston minor league RHP Francisco Lopez-Soto (Lowell-NYP), New York Yankees minor league RHP Alex Mauricio (Staten Island-NYP) and St. Louis minor league RHP Griffin Roberts (Palm Beach-FSL) 50 games each, following second violations for a drug of abuse. Suspended Cincinnati minor league C Hunter Oliver (Greenville-Appalachian) and Oakland minor league P Dallas Woolfolk (Arizona Athletics) 50 games each after testing positive for Amphetamine, a stimulant in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.”

Come on man… really?

And no pay.  Oh boy.
